The PIL.ImageTk Module

The ImageTk module contains support to create and modify Tkinter BitmapImage and PhotoImage objects.

For examples, see the demo programs in the Scripts directory.

Module Contents

BitmapImage(image=None, **options) (class) [#]

For more information about this class, see The BitmapImage Class.

getimage(photo) [#]

PhotoImage(image=None, size=None, **options) (class) [#]

Creates a Tkinter-compatible photo image.

For more information about this class, see The PhotoImage Class.

The BitmapImage Class

BitmapImage(image=None, **options) (class) [#]

__init__(image=None, **options) [#]

Create a Tkinter-compatible bitmap image.

The given image must have mode "1". Pixels having value 0 are treated as transparent. Options, if any, are passed on to Tkinter. The most commonly used option is foreground, which is used to specify the colour for the non-transparent parts. See the Tkinter documentation for information on how to specify colours.
