[Tkinter-discuss] canvas.create_image

[Todd Lericos]

Hello all,

I'm new to the list and to Python. It has been tough going, but alot of 
fun.

Here is my problem. I am trying to display an image on canvas. I was 
searching to the list for similar problems. It does seem to be a common 
problem. I tried many of the suggested fixes. For example, heading off 
garbage collection of the image...etc. No dice.

Can someone take a look at the code and let me know if they see any 
pitfalls I am stepping in.

Thanks in advance for any help rendered.

Todd

P.S. Please not the program in not complete yet. Thus some variables 
passed to MakeGui go nowhere. I know this already.
