[Tkinter] Why is it so difficult to just ouput an image where I want?

Hi jpezz

You have to bind the tk-image to an object. In your case for instance to the object root. The canvas needs a layout membership for which i choosed pack. For the canvas.create_image add for instance the option anchor='nw'. So the x/y-coordinates relate to the upper left corner of the image. In your case the image would be place outsite of the visuable surface of the canvas:

from Tkinter import *
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
 
root = Tk()
# Remove titlebar    
#root.overrideredirect(1)
canvas = Canvas(root, width =200,height=200)
canvas.pack()
image = Image.open("pngs/a.jpg")
#logo=PhotoImage(file="pngs/a.jpg)
root.logo = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)

canvas.create_image(10, 10, image=root.logo, anchor='nw')

root.mainloop()

wuf :-)

I got it! I misunderstood the coordinates in the canvas.create_image statement. I thought it was the POSITION of the canvas in the window. Instead I was locating the image outside the canvas. However, I would like to position the canvas in a specific location. I found nothing on that but did find something on Label so I tried this:

canvas.place(x=50,y=100)

but it doesn't work. How can I position the canvas itself on the screen?
