To update the image of a tkinter label widget, you can follow these steps:
- Load the new image that you want to update the label with using the PhotoImage class in tkinter.
- Configure the label widget with the new image using the config method and passing in the image parameter with the new image object.
- Update the label widget by calling the update_idletasks method to redraw the widget and display the new image.
Here is an example of how you can update the image of a label widget:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 |
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import PhotoImage
# Create a tkinter window
root = tk.Tk()
# Load the initial image
original_image = PhotoImage(file='image1.png')
# Create a label widget with the original image
label = tk.Label(root, image=original_image)
label.pack()
def update_image():
# Load the new image
new_image = PhotoImage(file='image2.png')
# Update the label widget with the new image
label.config(image=new_image)
# Update the label widget to display the new image
label.update_idletasks()
# Create a button to update the image
button = tk.Button(root, text='Update Image', command=update_image)
button.pack()
# Run the tkinter main loop
root.mainloop()

This code creates a tkinter window with a label widget displaying an initial image. When the "Update Image" button is clicked, the label widget updates with a new image.
