Images do not work.

[GloriousGlider8]

First off, no WidgetFrame.Image() function. Even when using TKinter's labels, with self.master as the master, images do not work, even when I add them to the widget list.

Like tkinter, TKMT doesn't have a direct image function, but an image can be added using a label.

import TKinterModernThemes as TKMT
from PIL import ImageTk, Image

class App(TKMT.ThemedTKinterFrame):
    def __init__(self, theme, mode, usecommandlineargs=True, usethemeconfigfile=True):
        super().__init__("Image", theme, mode, usecommandlineargs=usecommandlineargs,
                         useconfigfile=usethemeconfigfile)

        img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open('sample_image.png').resize((200, 200)))

        self.frame = self.addLabelFrame("Frame")
        self.frame.Label("", widgetkwargs={"image": img})
        self.run()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    App("park", "dark")

Please let me know if you need anything else!

Thanks! I was trying to use the Label class from TKinter it's self!

[GloriousGlider8]

Still does not work for some reason! It seems to be an issue just with my code!

try:
    download_png(gm.data["assets"]["cover-tiny"]["uri"], f"{os.getenv("TEMP")}/{gm.data["abbreviation"]}_cvr.png")
    img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open(f"{os.getenv("TEMP")}/{gm.data["abbreviation"]}_cvr.png"))
except:
    img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open("resources/cover.png"))
temp = self.games.addFrame("GMFrame" + gm.name, pady=0)
temp.Label("", widgetkwargs={"image": img})
temp.Text(gm.name, ("Segoe UI bold", 18))

Maybe it is resizing...

[GloriousGlider8]

Nope, resizing to (200, 200) does not work

[GloriousGlider8]

I have tried putting the image in it's own frame and it still does not work. :(

For the record, I am on Windows 11 Home Edition, with the latest TKinter and TKMT versions, on python 3.12.1

I'm very sorry if I'm flooding your inbox! When I add text, the text shows, maybe it is to do with prioritising the text?

[GloriousGlider8]

Again, I apologise for the inbox spam! I've managed it! So that everyone reading this knows, the trick is to make a global reference to the image and use .config(image=img) and .image = img (it worked for me)

[GloriousGlider8]

It is mainly due to the python garbage collector

[RobertJN64]

Yes - this is a known issue with tkinter:

https://dafarry.github.io/tkinterbook/photoimage.htm

Note: When a PhotoImage object is garbage-collected by Python (e.g. when you return from a function which stored an image in a local variable), the image is cleared even if it’s being displayed by a Tkinter widget.

To avoid this, the program must keep an extra reference to the image object. A simple way to do this is to assign the image to a widget attribute, like this:

label = Label(image=photo)
label.image = photo # keep a reference!
label.pack()
