My Tkinter is quite rusty, but I think this is basically the approach you need to take. However, you will need to put a delay in between each call to coords, otherwise python will "optimise" by moving the image to its final destination before drawing. Something like: # given initial coords (x0,y0), final coords (x1, y1) img = canvas1.create_image(x0, y0, image=photo) # step: number of steps to move in step = 10.0 # duration: number of seconds to move the image dur = 2 for i in range(1, int(step)+1): xi = x0 + i*(x1-x0)/step yi = y0 + i*(y1-y0)/step canvas1.coords(img, xi, yi) time.sleep(dur/step) # you may need to add a call to canvas1.update_idletasks() here # untested HTH! -- John. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
