Greetings,
As a newbie, starting with Python3, I'm working my way through Mark
Summerfield's tkinter examples. In the toolbar, there's lines like:
for image, command in (
('images/filenew.gif', self.fileNew),
('images/fileopen.gif', self.fileOpen),
('images/filesave.gif', self.fileSave),
('images/editadd.gif', self.editAdd),
('images/editedit.gif', self.editEdit),
('images/editdelete.gif', self.editDelete),):
image = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), image)
image = tkinter.PhotoImage(file=image)
self.toolbar_images.append(image)
button = tkinter.Button(toolbar, image=image, command=command)
button.grid(row=0, column=len(self.toolbar_images) -1)
which are always failing because the icons are in the wrong place
and I can't help but wonder if I can put all these little images
in the application itself, either as b'whatever' or uuencoded or
in svg etc, and then invoke some suitable variation of the
image = tkinter.PhotoImage(file=image)
or of the
button = tkinter.Button(toolbar, image=image, command=command)
command ? (I did try help('tkinter.PhotoImage') but didn't spot a
magic key (unless it's "data=something, format=something")) ...
Just dump the contents of the file as a bytestring and use:
image = PhotoImage(data=the_byte_string)
With no extension, I guess it'll only work with GIF files, as it is the
only natively supported image format in tcl/tk (AFAIK...).
