Python tkinter image icons

";require "templates/body_start.php";?>

Changing the default icon

There is a default icon comes with the window.

import tkinter as tkmy_w=tk.Tk()my_w.geometry('300x100')my_w.title('www.plus2net.com')my_w.mainloop()

Escape the path by using two backslashes if you have any char with can be used with backslash. Here \f can be understood as form feed, so we used two backslashes.

import tkinter as tkmy_w=tk.Tk()my_w.geometry('300x100')my_w.title('www.plus2net.com')my_w.iconbitmap('D:\\images\\favicon.ico')my_w.mainloop()

Dynamic Path with os Module

If you want your application to locate the icon file dynamically, use the os module to build the path relative to the script’s directory.

import osBASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))icon_path = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'favicon.ico')my_w.iconbitmap(icon_path)

Adding image using Label

import tkinter as tk  my_w = tk.Tk()  my_w.geometry("400x200")   l1 = tk.Label(my_w, width=15)  l1.grid(row=1, column=1)  my_img = tk.PhotoImage(file="D:\\top2.png")  l2 = tk.Label(my_w, image=my_img)  l2.grid(row=1, column=2)  my_w.mainloop()

You may change you path based on the location of the image file in your system.

Using a Button to add image.

We can place image over one Button

import tkinter as tk  my_w=tk.Tk()  my_w.geometry('300x100')  my_w.title('www.plus2net.com')  my_w.iconbitmap('D:\\images\\favicon.ico')  my_img = tk.PhotoImage(file = "D:/images/top2.png")  b1 = tk.Button(my_w, image = my_img)  b1.grid(row = 1, column = 1)  my_w.mainloop()

PIL ( Python Imaging Library )

To install use this command at command prompt

pip install pillow

Python Imaging Library : Pillow →
For .jpg images we have to use PIL library.

from PIL import ImageTk, Image

If PIL ( Python Image Library ) is not installed then use PIP to install it. You can check the status by using this command and check all installed libraries.

%pip freeze

Here is the code to display .JPG image over a button.

import tkinter as tk  my_w = tk.Tk()  from PIL import Image, ImageTk  my_w.geometry('300x100')  my_w.title('www.plus2net.com')  my_img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open("D:/images/top2.jpg"))  b1 = tk.Button(my_w, image=my_img)  b1.grid(row=1, column=1)  my_w.mainloop()

Background Image of the window

Change the path of the image used at my_img2.
To use JPG image we have to include PIL library.

import tkinter as tk  from tkinter import ttk  from PIL import Image, ImageTk  my_w = tk.Tk()  my_w.geometry("840x570")    my_img2 = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open("D:\\my_data\\background1.jpg"))  bg = tk.Label(my_w, image=my_img2)  bg.place(x=0, y=0, relwidth=1, relheight=1)  my_w.mainloop()

For PNG image no need of PIL library.

my_img = tk.PhotoImage(file = "D:\\top2.png")

Width and height of the image

import tkinter  as tk my_w = tk.Tk()my_w.geometry("840x570")  my_img = tk.PhotoImage(file = "H:\\top2.png") print(my_img.width(),my_img.height()) # Width and height of the image b1=tk.Button(my_w,image=my_img)b1.grid(row=1,column=1)my_w.mainloop()

import tkinter as tkmy_w=tk.Tk()from PIL import Image,ImageTkmy_w.geometry('400x300')my_w.title('www.plus2net.com')my_img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open("H:/top2.jpg"))print(my_img.width(),my_img.height()) # Print width and height of the imageb1=tk.Button(my_w,image=my_img)b1.grid(row=1,column=1,padx=20,pady=20)my_w.mainloop()

import tkinter as tkmy_w=tk.Tk()from PIL import Image,ImageTkmy_w.geometry('400x300')my_w.title('www.plus2net.com')my_img = Image.open("H:/top2.jpg") # change the path of your imageprint(my_img.size) # Print the tuple with width and height of the imageprint('Width: ',my_img.size[0],' , Height: ',my_img.size[1])my_img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open("H:/top2.jpg"))b1=tk.Button(my_w,image=my_img)b1.grid(row=1,column=1,padx=20,pady=20)my_w.mainloop()

Colourful Buttons by using images

Create and display image in Tkinter window

import tkinter as tk  from PIL import Image, ImageTk  # Create the image  img = Image.new('RGB', (255,255), "black") # Create a new black image  pixels = img.load() # Create the pixel map  for i in img.size[0]:        for j in img.size[1]:          pixels[i,j] = (i, j, 100) # Set the colour accordingly  my_w = tk.Tk()  my_w.geometry('300x300')  my_w.title('www.plus2net.com')  my_img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(img)  b1 = tk.Button(my_w, image=my_img)  b1.grid(row=1, column=1, padx=20, pady=20)  my_w.mainloop()

Bitmap Image displaying

from PIL import Image  import tkinter as tk  from PIL import Image, ImageTk  # Create a new bitmap image.  img = Image.new("1", (200, 200))  # Get the image data.  pixels = img.load()  # Set the pixel values.  for i in img.size[0]:        for j in img.size[1]:          pixels[i, j] = 0 if (i + j) % 5 == 0 else 255  # Initialize Tkinter window  my_w = tk.Tk()  my_w.geometry('300x300')  my_w.title('www.plus2net.com')  # Convert the image for Tkinter  my_img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(img)  # Create a button with the image  b1 = tk.Button(my_w, image=my_img)  b1.grid(row=1, column=1, padx=20, pady=20)  # Run the Tkinter main loop  my_w.mainloop()
