Adding an image to a tkinter window
#1
Hi I'm trying to add an image to a tkinter window using the following code
from tkinter import * # gives access to tkinter GUI library

def hello():
    name = textbox1.get() # gets name from textbox1
    print = "Hello " + name # creates Hello name string 
    textbox2["text"] = print # prints that string in textbox2

window = Tk() # opens tkinter window
window.title("Names") # sets title of the window as names
window.geometry("1000x1000") # dimentions
window.wm_iconbitmap("Icon.ico") # changes tkinter window icon 
window.configure(background  = "black") # sets window background to green

logo = PhotoImage(file = "logo.gif") # displays logo.gif in a label widget
logoimage = Label(image = logo) # this can't be changed while the program is running 
logoimage.place(x = 50, y = 20, width = 200, height = 120) # position and dimentions

textbox1 = Entry(text = "") # creates textbox1 where data is entered 
textbox1.place(x = 145, y = 200, width = 125, height = 25) # position and dimentions
textbox1["bg"] = "white" # white background 
textbox1["fg"] = "black" # black font

label1 = Label(text = "Enter a name") # creates label with this text
label1.place(x = 20, y = 200, width = 125, height = 25) # position and dimentions
label1["bg"] = "red" # red background 
label1["fg"] = "blue" # blue font

textbox2 = Message(text = print) # creates textbox1 displaying the variable print
textbox2.place(x = 145, y = 250, width = 125, height = 25) # position and dimentions
textbox2["bg"] = "white" # white background 
textbox2["fg"] = "black" # black font

button1 = Button(text = "Press me", command = hello) # creates button which runs the hello sub-program
button1.place(x = 20, y = 250, width = 125, height = 25) # position and dimentions
button1["bg"] = "blue" # blue background 
button1["fg"] = "red" # red font

window.mainloop() # keeps program running 
but I get the following error saying that there is no such file or directory, however the image is saved in the same place as the program. Can anyone help?

Error:
File "c:/Users/djwil/Documents/python/learning python/Chapter 17 - more Tkinter/Ch17-c1.py", line 14, in <module> logo = PhotoImage(file = "logo.gif") # displays logo.gif in a label widget File "C:\Users\djwil\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 4061, in __init__ Image.__init__(self, 'photo', name, cnf, master, **kw) File "C:\Users\djwil\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 4006, in __init__ self.tk.call(('image', 'create', imgtype, name,) + options) _tkinter.TclError: couldn't open "logo.gif": no such file or directory
