Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] How to install jpeg support in Tkinter
Message-ID: <ba976a8c-2f9c-9504-07d3-b14c12e2958d@gmail.com>

Hi,

I am looking for a way to install Img in Windows 10 in such a way that 
the image support particularly for jpegs is available to the Tcl/Tk 
included in Tkinter.

I have written a programming tool called PAGE in Tcl/Tk that is called 
by Tk.eval. That tool would be more effective if it could support jpegs. 
In Linux I can install the package libtk-img and then Tkinter seems able 
to support jpegs.? I don't know how to make a similar installation in 
Windows.

PAGE is a programming tool available from SourceForge and has enjoyed 
50,000 downloads this year. Most of those dowloads are for the windows 
version. Treating PAGE as a Tcl program within a Tkinter wrapper is a 
new idea which greatly simplifies user installation but suffers from the 
disadvantage that users cannot use jpeg images for button widgets, menu 
entries, notebook widgets, etc.. Hence my appeal. I admit that I know 
little about Windows.

Regards,

Don

I haven't tried myself, but I believe downloading the appropriate version
(32/64 bit) from

https://sourceforge.net/projects/tkimg/files/tkimg/1.4/tkimg%201.4.11/

, unpacking the .zip archive and then copying the Img1.4.11 folder into
your Python install's Tcl directory should do the trick.

If you want to put tkimg somewhere else, for example into your own
program's path, doing something like

self.tk.call('lappend', 'auto_path', '<path-to-the-Img1.4.11-folder>')

before calling "package require Img" should work, too.

Best regards

Michael

I'm with Michael:  that is, while I don't have a Win* desktop configured at
the moment to verify his directions, the configuration you seek, Donald,
should be no more difficult than he describes.  We *do* need to document
this somewhere accessible ...

Don, another option to allow use of JPEG?s through Tkinter might to use Pillow (https://pypi.org/project/Pillow/ <https://pypi.org/project/Pillow/>)
