There's probably a snappy answer to this, but I don't know it.

There certainly are EPS -> GIF converters, if you truly want to
go that way.  In the Tk tradition, there are two main approaches
to this need:
1.  Use the Img extension, which knows how to render
    Canvases as .gif (and much else);
2.  "Serialize" the canvas, and re-render it.

Img is a venerable Tk extension, with a long, distinguished,
history.  It's not in the core only because of administrative
issues not of interest here.  It ought to work fine with
Tkinter--but I know of no one who's succeeded in the attempt.
