hi i am trying to display an image on a canvas in a gui made with Tkinter widgets
class PhotoDisplay: def __init__(self,parent): self.mainframe = Frame(parent,background="grey") ..... #added a subframe to hold canvas and button .... self.canvFrame=Frame(self.mainframe,...) .... self.mycanvas=Canvas(self.canvFrame,...) ... def okbuttonClick(self): self.mycanvas.delete(ALL) myimagename=...#get an imagefilename from somewhere.. self.showSelectedImage(myimagename) def showSelectedImage(self,imageName): myimg=ImageTk.PhotoImage(file=imageName) imgtag=self.mycanvas.create_image(70,100,image=myimg) self.mycanvas.update_idletasks() when i click the button ,the image is displayed for a fraction of a second on the canvas and disappears.I couldn't figure out why this is happening.I am quite new to Tkinter and still going thru Fredrik Lundh's intro to tkinter..can someone tell me if i am doing sthing wrong here? thanks in advance harry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
