Tkinter Label image without border

Question

this is my first post. I visit frequently stack overflow and I previously have always found answers for all my questions, but not today.

I try to display images as labels in window, but it is not how I thought Tkinter would display them. In other words. I have several small images, which should be place each next to another without any gap. But in besides all my efforts Tkinter always place small border or gap (probably 1-2 pixel), between two neighbor elements.

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk

class MainWindow():

def __init__(self, mainWidget):

    self.status_bar_text = StringVar()
    self.status_bar_text.set('')

    self.image_to_place = PhotoImage(file='my_image.png')

    self.main_frame = ttk.Frame(mainWidget, width=768, height=480, padding=(0, 0, 0, 0))
    self.main_frame.place(x=0, y=0)

    self.status_bar = ttk.Label(mainWidget, width=768, border=1, anchor=W, relief=SUNKEN, textvariable=self.status_bar_text)
    self.status_bar.place(x=0, y=480)

    self.main_gui()

def main_gui(self):
    i = 0
    plate_cords = [[0, 0], [24, 0], [48, 0], [72, 0], [96, 0], [120, 0]]

    for plate in plate_cords:
        self.wall_label = ttk.Label(self.main_frame, image=self.image_to_place)
        self.wall_label.place(x=plate_cords[i][0], y=plate_cords[i][1])
        i += 1
    del i


def main():
    global root
    root = Tk()
    root.title('Title')
    root.geometry('768x500+250+100')
    root.rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
    root.columnconfigure(0, weight=1)

    window = MainWindow(root)
    window

    root.mainloop()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

I tried options such us 'borderwidth', 'padding', 'bordermode' and few other tricks, and nothing seems to work as I intend it to do. Thanks for any help and ideas.

Answer 1

There are two attributes which need to be set to 0 (zero): borderwidth and highlightthickness. borderwidth (along with relief) defines the actual border of the widget. highlightthickness also defines a border of sorts -- it is a rectangular ring that is visible when the widget has focus.

Answer 2

I have image width 237x37 height.

from tkinter import*
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import font

top = Tk()
top.geometry("800x480")
top.title('FLOW')
C = Canvas(top, bg="#0026D1", height=480, width=800)

LabelsFont = font.Font(family='DejaVu Sans', size=10, weight='bold')
filenameLabel1 = PhotoImage(file = "/home/autorun/Desktop/pictures/štítok1.png")
Label1 = tk.Label(top, wraplength = 230, font=LabelsFont, fg="white", text="PRETLAK NA VSTUPE",image=filenameLabel1,borderwidth=0,compound="center",highlightthickness = 0,padx=0,pady=0)
Label1.place(x=15,y=90)

C.pack()
top.mainloop()    

If haven't in Label1.place width and height you must use pady=0, padx=0, borderwidth=0, highlightthickness = 0 or you must use Label1.place with width and height the picture with borderwidth=0, highlightthickness = 0.

The second way in my code:

Label1 = tk.Label(top, wraplength = 230, font=LabelsFont, fg="white", text="PRETLAK NA VSTUPE",image=filenameLabel1,borderwidth=0,compound="center",highlightthickness = 0)
Label1.place(x=15,y=90,width=237,height=37)
