All, I have been struggling with being able to view an image and most things have not worked for one reason or another so I am trying to fall back on a way I used to do it in PERL. Use TK to show the image. I do not know TKInter but I have two scripts one that gets a list of images and anouther that displays them using Tkinter. This is basically how I would like to use it...I am going to be using PIL to manipulate the image (and show() does not work) so I just want a quick view to see how it looks. I can get the image to show up and minimize and maximize but I can not get the window to close and then display the next image.
I have tired several things but no luck. Any help on getting the TK window to shutdown cleanly would be appreciated. Thanks John Ertl <code> # this is supposed to display an image in a TK window but the close (X) does not work. import Image import Tkinter,ImageTk def TKview(img,mainTitle="image"): app = Tkinter.Tk() app.withdraw() top = Tkinter.Toplevel(app,visual="truecolor",colormap="new") top.title(mainTitle) top.protocol("WM_DELETE_WINDOW", quit) top.bind("<q>",quit) top.bind("<Q>",quit) canvas = Tkinter.Canvas(top) canvas.pack() p = ImageTk.PhotoImage(img) canvas['width'] = img.size[0] canvas['height'] = img.size[1] canvas.create_image(0,0,anchor='nw',image=p) top.mainloop() def quit(event=None): top.destroy() top.quit() </CODE> <CODE># this code gets the images opens them and calls the TK code above to display them import glob import thread import Image import TKviewTest # the module to view the images gifList = glob.glob("./*.gif") print gifList for image in gifList: image = image[2:] # glob leaves ./ in file name newIm = Image.open(image) TK = TKviewTest thread.start_new_thread(TK.TKview(newIm,mainTitle="image")) </CODE> _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
