How do I insert a JPEG image into a Python 2.7 Tkinter window? What is wrong with the following code? The image is called Aaron.jpg.
#!/usr/bin/python
import Image
import Tkinter
window = Tkinter.Tk()
window.title("Join")
window.geometry("300x300")
window.configure(background='grey')
imageFile = "Aaron.jpg"
window.im1 = Image.open(imageFile)
raw_input()
window.mainloop()
Images can be shown with tkinter. Images can be in a variety of formats including jpeg images.
Image can be added with the help of PhotoImage() method. This is a Tkinter method which means you don't have to import any other module in order to use it.
open() Opens and identifies the given image file. This is a lazy operation; this function identifies the file, but the file remains open and the actual image data is not read from the file until you try to process the data (or call the load() method).
Try this:
import tkinter as tk
from PIL import ImageTk, Image
#This creates the main window of an application
window = tk.Tk()
window.title("Join")
window.geometry("300x300")
window.configure(background='grey')
path = "Aaron.jpg"
#Creates a Tkinter-compatible photo image, which can be used everywhere Tkinter expects an image object.
img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open(path))
#The Label widget is a standard Tkinter widget used to display a text or image on the screen.
panel = tk.Label(window, image = img)
#The Pack geometry manager packs widgets in rows or columns.
panel.pack(side = "bottom", fill = "both", expand = "yes")
#Start the GUI
window.mainloop()
