This time we will create an Imagebrowser using Tkinter and canvas instead of loading the image in a label. So, nothing very different, but I think that using canvas you can be able to add a lot of more feature to this app: you could add drawings on top of the image and save them. I want also to add the chance to resize the images and other stuffs in the next future… so let’s go and watch the video.<\/p>\n
import tkinter as tk\r\nimport glob\r\n\r\n\r\ndef insertfiles():\r\n for filename in glob.glob(\"*.png\"):\r\n lst.insert(tk.END, filename)\r\n\r\n\r\ndef showimg(event):\r\n n = lst.curselection()\r\n filename = lst.get(n)\r\n img = tk.PhotoImage(file=filename)\r\n w, h = img.width(), img.height()\r\n print(filename)\r\n canvas.image = img\r\n canvas.config(width=w, height=h)\r\n canvas.create_image(0, 0, image=img, anchor=tk.NW)\r\n\r\n\r\nroot = tk.Tk()\r\nroot.geometry(\"800x600+300+50\")\r\nlst = tk.Listbox(root, width=20)\r\nlst.pack(side=\"left\", fill=tk.BOTH, expand=0)\r\nlst.bind(\"<<ListboxSelect>>\", showimg)\r\ninsertfiles()\r\ncanvas = tk.Canvas(root)\r\ncanvas.pack()\r\n\r\nroot.mainloop()\r\n<\/pre>\nRemember to add that canvas.image = img. Without that line you won’t be able to see the image.<\/p>\n
