Hi,
Let me paste the code I have adapted from somewhere. I dont get a clue
on how to go further so that all the images would stay in their
respective positions.

thanks

def button_click_exit_mainloop (event):
    event.widget.quit() # this will cause mainloop to unblock.

root = Tkinter.Tk()
root.bind("<Button>", button_click_exit_mainloop)
root.geometry('+%d+%d' % (100,100))
names = ["me1.jpg","me2.jpg","me1.jpg","me2.jpg","me1.jpg","me2.jpg"]
shape = (2,3)
xlen,ylen = 0,0
for i in range(shape[0]):
    for j in range(shape[1]):
        try:
            images = [Image.open(f) for f in names]
            images = [x.resize((300,200)) for x in images]
            xsize = sum(im.size[0] for im in images)
            ysize = sum(im.size[1] for im in images)
            root.geometry('%dx%d' % (xsize,ysize))
            tkpi = [ImageTk.PhotoImage(im) for im in images]
            index = i*shape[1]+j

            label_image = Tkinter.Label(root, image=tkpi[index])
            label_image.place(x=xlen,y=ylen,width=images[index].size
[0],height=images[index].size[1])

            if j == shape[1]-1:
                ylen = ylen + images[index].size[1]
                xlen = 0
            else:
                xlen = xlen + images[index].size[0]
            print index,xlen,ylen
            root.mainloop() # wait until user clicks the window
        except Exception, e:
        # This is used to skip anything not an image.
        # Image.open will generate an exception if it cannot open a
file.
        # Warning, this will hide other errors as well.
            pass
