Let's take a look at the description of the method first
create_image(position, **options) [#]
Draws an image on the canvas.
position
Image position, given as two coordinates.
**options
Image options.
activeimage=
anchor=
Where to place the image relative to the given position. Default is CENTER.
disabledimage=
image=
The image object. This should be a PhotoImage or BitmapImage, or a compatible object (such as the PIL PhotoImage). The application must keep a reference to the image object.
state=
Item state. One of NORMAL, DISABLED, or HIDDEN.
tags=
A tag to attach to this item, or a tuple containing multiple tags.
Returns:
The item id.
There are two important points to note about images, one is the format, and the second is to keep referring to
The image object. This should be a
1.This should be a PhotoImage or BitmapImage, or a compatible object (such as the PIL PhotoImage).
2.The application must keep a reference to the image object.
So the code should be written like this and the variable im should be a global variable
image = Image.open("img.jpg")
im = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)
canvas.create_image(300,50,image = im)
But what if I just want to call it in a method?
Then you can declare global variables in advance
image = None
im = None
Then use global in the method to declare the variable as a global variable
, namely :
def method():
global image
global im
image = Image.open("img.jpg")
im = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)
