I am slowly progressing with my python app.

I have got to the point where I would like to place images onto my buttons. I use Tkinter as my GUI libary.

The following is how I understand I place an image onto a button - but I am
not having much success with it all.

Any ideas ?

Pete

b=Button(ToolBar,padx=1,pady=1,width=2,height=1,command=callquit,)
b.bitmap="@button_cancel.xbm"
b.place(x=0,y=0)


put the bitmap= inside the construction of the button widget like so:

b = Button(ToolBar, padx=1, pady=1, width=2, height=1, command=callquit,
    bitmap="@button_cancel.xbm")

BTW  You shouldn't need to set the height and width - the button will
take it's size from the bitmap

BTW2 I notice you are using place geometry manager you may get a 'better' behaved GUI with the pack or grid geometry manager, it will
resize much better as widgets are pack'ed or grid'ed relative to each other


for more help you could try:

or the Wiki that has links to other sources of help (including the
Tkinter mailing list
