Tkinter cannot recognize image format [duplicate]
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()
Solution 1:
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()
