Why use Tkinter if there is no GUI?

Could you not create the image directly using PIL/Pillow, say?
I've no experience of plotting data directly to an image
file but it sounds like it should be viable and avoids
Tkinter. Just a thought.

Again, no personal experience but matplotlib or gnuplot may
also be able to work directly with files. It seems likely.
