I am trying to put an image into a window with ImageTk
and PhotoImage
. Below is the code:
import tkinter as tk
import random as r
from PIL import ImageTk, Image
window = tk.Tk()
HEIGHT = window.winfo_screenwidth()
WIDTH = window.winfo_screenheight()
RESOL = str(str(HEIGHT) + "x" + str(WIDTH+7) + "+" + str(-7) + "+" + str(0))
window.geometry(RESOL)
x = int(HEIGHT)/2
y = int(WIDTH)/2
updatex = HEIGHT + (0.6 * HEIGHT)
main = tk.Frame(window, height = WIDTH, width = HEIGHT)
main.configure(bg = "white", highlightthickness = 0)
main.place(x = x, y = y, anchor = "center")
Map = tk.Canvas(window, height = int((900 - int(x))) + int(900), width = int((900 - int(y))) + int(900), bg = "#44b863", highlightthickness = 0)
Map.place(x = updatex, y = int(y), anchor = "center")
p = tk.PhotoImage(file = "TitleForGameReal.png")
play_solo_image = tk.PhotoImage(file = "PlaySoloButton.png")
play_duo_image = tk.PhotoImage(file = "PlayDuoButton.png")
title = tk.Label(main, image = p, highlightthickness = 0, bd = 0)
title.place(relx = 0.5, rely = 0.35, anchor = "center")
class CustomButton:
def __init__(self, image, master, height, width, bordercolor):
self.master = master
self.frame = tk.Frame(master, height = height, width = width, highlightthickness = 0)
self.image = tk.Label(self.frame, image = image, borderwidth = 0, bg = "dark grey")
self.bordercolor = bordercolor
def put(self, x, y, command):
self.x, self.y = x, y
self.frame.place(relx = x, rely = y, anchor = "center")
self.image.pack()
def enter(event = "<Enter>"):
self.image.config(borderwidth = 3)
self.image.bind("<Enter>", enter)
def leave(event = "<Leave>"):
self.image.config(borderwidth = 0)
self.image.bind("<Leave>", leave)
def bind_command(event = "<Button-1>"):
command()
self.image.bind("<Button -1>", bind_command)
def solo():
global x, y, updatex
for i in range(int(int(int(HEIGHT/9))/2)):
x -= 20
updatex -= 20
main.place(x = x, y = y, anchor = "center")
Map.place(x = updatex, y = y, anchor = "center")
main.update()
Map.update()
player_image = Image.open("Connector.png")
player_image2 = ImageTk.PhotoImage(player_image)
class Player:
def __init__(self, hp, image):
self.hp = hp
self.image = tk.Label(Map, image = image)
self.image.place(relx = 0.5, rely = 0.5, anchor = "center")
def spawn(self):
Map.create_image(updatex, y, image = self.image)
player = Player(100, player_image2)
player.spawn()
def duo():
print("duo")
play_solo_image = tk.PhotoImage(file = "PlaySoloButton.png")
play_solo_button = CustomButton(image = play_solo_image, master = main, height = play_solo_image.height(), width = play_solo_image.width(), bordercolor = "grey")
play_solo_button.put(x = 0.39, y = 0.47, command = solo)
play_duo_button = CustomButton(image = play_duo_image, master = main, height = play_duo_image.height(), width = play_duo_image.width(), bordercolor = "grey")
play_duo_button.put(x = 0.61, y = 0.47, command = duo)
I will also leave the image as a reference, because I edited the photo to strictly have a transparent background in PhotoShop:
But this is the output I see:
Later I realized that I was also receiving an error, which may or may not have something to do with my issue:
Exception in Tkinter callback

I know this may have something to do with garbage collection, and I would normally save a reference of it, but the problem is I can't do that since it will tell me "you can't pack a PhotoImage".
This is the tutorial I used to make the image background transparent. It's not my video, so don't flag it as spam.
The problem is image
option of Map.create_image(updatex, y, image = self.image)
requires a PhotoImage instance but you're giving it a label, so to fix it just say.
class Player:
def __init__(self, hp, image):
self.hp = hp
self.image = image #creating an instance variable
self.pic = ImageTk.PhotoImage(self.image) #making an photoimage instance
self.cv = Map.create_image(updatex, y, image = self.pic) #passing the photo image instance
self.pic.image = self.pic #keeping a reference to the image
Hope this has solved the error, do let me know if any errors or doubts.
