Tkinter Images
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
When using Tkinter alone, you can only embed .gif images in your interface. PIL provides a `PhotoImage` class that lets you embed other supported file types.
|
|
|
|
Requires `pip install pillow`
|
|
|
|
```Python
|
|
import PIL.Image
|
|
import PIL.ImageTk
|
|
import tkinter
|
|
|
|
t = tkinter.Tk()
|
|
image = PIL.Image.open('filename.png')
|
|
image_tk = PIL.ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)
|
|
label = tkinter.Label(t, image=image_tk)
|
|
label.image_reference = image_tk
|
|
label.pack()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You must store the `image_tk` somewhere, such as an attribute of the label it belongs to. Otherwise, it gets [prematurely garbage-collected](http://effbot.org/pyfaq/why-do-my-tkinter-images-not-appear.htm).
