Re: [Tutor] How do I display a picture?

2017-05-18 Thread Michael C 
If all PIL does with .show() is to invoke the system default image viewer,
why would it pop an empty console window?
the existence of this window causes the script to hang, so i have to so far
manually close it before the script would continue to run.

There are lots of ways it depends on what you actually want
to do with the image. For example you can run your favourite
image viewer program(that looks like what PIL is doing)

Or you could create a temporary html file with an img tag
pointing at the image, then open your browser on that file.

Or you can create a simple GUI and put the image into a
canvas component.

Or you could use a different image editing module like
the ImageMagik module(forgotten the name) or Blender.

It just depends what you need it for which solution suits.

Re: [Tutor] How do I display a picture?

2017-05-17 Thread Michael C 
I use python image library and apparently when I do

im = Image.open('1.png')
im.show()


show() actually opens a empty console window that doesn't do anything and
as long as it's around the script hangs.
Currently I have to close it by clicking on the close button and it makes
my script useless.

so  i am trying find either a way to prevent that from poping up or to
close it automatically somehow

or to find another way to display the picture without using python image
library.

What do you mean? What kind of picture?
Where do you want it displayed (what kind
of window/screen)?

There are a dozen possible ways to "display a picture"
depending on what you specifically want.
