Insert a .jpg in a canvas with tkinter and Python 3.2
Question: So I want to put a .jpg in a canvas, all i found on internet is to use PIL but
i'm using Python 3.2 so PIL doesn't work. What can i do to insert a .jpg in a
canvas with Python 3.2 ?


Answer: Just to save anyone else viewing this now from hunting around for the bits and
pieces (like I just did)

As Martijn Pieters said use Pillow rather than PIL, but the code looks the
same

    
    
    from tkinter import Tk, Canvas
    from PIL import ImageTk, Image
    
    root = Tk()
    
    #Create a canvas
    canvas = Canvas(root, width=400, height=300)
    canvas.pack()
    
    # Load the image file
    im = Image.open('test_image.jpg')
    # Put the image into a canvas compatible class, and stick in an
    # arbitrary variable to the garbage collector doesn't destroy it
    canvas.image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(im)
    # Add the image to the canvas, and set the anchor to the top left / north west corner
    canvas.create_image(0, 0, image=canvas.image, anchor='nw')
    
    root.mainloop()
