Why does Tkinter image not show up if created in a function?
(5 answers)
Closed 3 months ago.
I created a button with an image in Tkinter, but the image isn't showing, i can just see a blank space in the button. Maybe my OS is the problem. I have Linux Mint 21 Xfce Edition.
from tkinter import ttk
from tkinter import filedialog
from tkinter import messagebox
from tkinter import dialog
from tkinter import *
from PIL import ImageTk, Image
from modules import fonts, buttons
import shutil
import os
virusscan_win = Tk()
virusscan_win.title("Virus scan")
virusscan_win.geometry('400x200+60+60')
virusscan_win.configure(background="white")
Message(text="The virus scanner gives them the ability to scan files, folders or their system for viruses and remove threats automatically.", width=250, font=fonts.sansserif_small, background = "white").place(x=10, y=10)
safe_image=PhotoImage(file='./media/button.png')
Button(master=virusscan_win, image=safe_image, text="Scan file").place(x=10, y=90)
Can anyone explain, what was wrong with my code? I already checked, is the file in the correct folder. the debugger also shows nothing.
Python is notorious for aggressively garbage collecting image references, which leads to them being destroyed before the UI gets drawn. Something like this should work for getting an image onto a Button
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
from pathlib import Path
img_path = Path('C:/<path>/<to>/media/button.png') # use the full path to your img file
with Image.open(img_path) as img: # open the image file
img_tk = ImageTk.PhotoImage(img) # get the image as a Tk object
button = Button(virusscan_win, image=img_tk) # add image to button
Note that if your image is the wrong size for your button, you can resize it like so
img_tk = ImageTk.PhotoImage(img.resize(32, 32)) # or whatever size you need

instead of using a ico file or blank icon in my tkinter application, i want the tkinter icon to be a 16x16 square with a certain color.
my current code:
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *
root = tk.Tk()
icon=PhotoImage(height=16, width=16)
icon.blank()
root.wm_iconphoto('True', icon) #New Tk 8.6 style
root.geometry('707x267')
root.title(" ")
root.mainloop()
how do i change the color of the icon?
You can create your own image with an image processing library, like PIL. First install it:
pip install Pillow
Then create a new image with:
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
img = Image.new(mode='RGB',size=(16,16),color='red')
Now convert the image into tkinter understandable format with:
img_tk = ImageTk.PhotoImage(img)
Next, set the icon to be that new image:
root.wm_iconphoto('True', img_tk)
I am attempting to display an image from a file in my program. The python file is in the same folder as my image file and I have the file name correct. When it displays on the screen, the space is taken up where the image should be, but no image shows.
from tkinter import *
from PIL import ImageTk,Image
import tkinter as tk
cardImageLabel=Label(playerFrame, image=tk.PhotoImage(file="2C.png")).grid(row=1, column=0)
This is my code, it's a bit ugly and I should separate it but I'm more used to formatting it like this.
You need to create a reference to the image, to prevent collecting it by garbage collector, as there is no reference created to this object by PhotoImage class itself.
img = tk.PhotoImage(file="2C.png")
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
win = Tk()
colorful=PhotoImage(file='image/1.png')
_tkinter.TclError: couldn't recognize data in image file "image/1.png" file path is correct, from beginning it was running without an error but when I add some more code it happened, why?
Try this:
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
img = Image.open("file_name")
colorful = ImageTk.PhotoImage(img)
Tkinter Photoimage only supports .gif images.
If you want to display .png images, Use PIL (Python Imaging Library)

In using Python's Tkinter application, I have come across a little problem. How do I hide and show GIF images that I have put into the window using PhotoImage?
I can make the images appear in the first place, but am unable to do anything with them. I have tried using canvas.itemconfig and canvas.update, but to no avail. Is anyone able to solve this problem?
picture = PhotoImage(file='C:\\Users\\ZecFamily5\\Downloads\\Island.gif')
c.create_image(250, 250, image=picture)
The above code cannot be hidden or shown using c.itemconfig(image, state=HIDDEN).
You should do .itemconfig(Your Item Name, state=HIDDEN) and to show, change HIDDEN to NORMAL to show.
I would recommend using the ImageTK module:
img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open(path))
As it should allow you to make a TKinter compatible photo image.
For this to work though, do keep in mind that this will need to be at the beginning of your file:
import Tkinter as tk
from PIL import ImageTk, Image
Here is an example piece of code to show you what I mean:
import Tkinter as tk
from PIL import ImageTk, Image
path = 'C:/xxxx/xxxx.jpg'
root = tk.Tk()
img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open(path))
panel = tk.Label(root, image = img)
panel.pack(side = "bottom", fill = "both", expand = "yes")
root.mainloop()
I want to display a gif image using Pillow
Here is my simple code:
from tkinter import *
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
import tkinter as Tk
image = Image.open("Puissance4.gif")
image.show()
But nothing happens...
All help will be appreciated
Thanks!
PIL provides a show method which attempts to detect your OS and choose an
appropriate viewer. On Unix it tries calling the imagemagick command display
or xv. On Macs it uses open, on Windows it uses... something else.
If it can't find an appropriate viewer, ImageShow._viewers will be an empty list.
On Raspbian, you'll need to install an image viewer such as display, xv or fim. (Note a search on the web will show that there are many image viewers available.) Then
you can tell PIL to use it by specifying the command parameter:
image.show(command='fim')
To display an image in Tkinter, you could use something like:
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
img = Image.open("image.gif")
tkimage = ImageTk.PhotoImage(img)
tk.Label(root, image=tkimage).pack()
root.mainloop()
