It seems very heavy-handed to create 1-pixel images for drawing onto
the canvas. Any reason not to use something lighter weight?
I suspect the "self.root.update()" is the problem. Try
update_idletasks() instead, or to even avoid it if possible. You
don't want to call update in the event loop, because you are likely
reprocessing from the same call, causing the recursion.
