image error - pyc0de - Mar-23-2024
hi im new to python and I'm having trouble getting this code to run. Instead I get this error, in tkinter . I'm using visual studio 2022 and I'm trying to add a PNG image to the program, I created a new solution and copy/pasted the PNG pic to a new folder within the solution
failed to create an iconphoto with image "icon.png"
my code so far
from tkinter import *
window = Tk()
window.geometry("420x420")
window.title("Bro Coding")
icon = PhotoImage('icon.png')
window.iconphoto(True,icon)
window.mainloop()This is my first python script, so I'm not against learning more.

The documentation for Photoimage is terrible. I think that is why most people use PIL to load images. You need to use file='icon.png' to set the file where the image is read
import tkinter as tk # Do not use wildcard imports
window = Tk()
window.geometry("420x420")
window.title("Bro Coding")
icon = PhotoImage(file='icon.png')
window.iconphoto(True, icon)
window.mainloop()

Thank you, i figured i was doing something wrong. I'll keep this site in mind while I'm learning to write python. I'm sure I'll need help.
