Tkinter.Canvas saved as JPEG?


I want to draw some simple (dynamic) graphs and get these saved as a
JPEG file to reference in a web link. I am aware of PIL (Python Image
Library), but unfortunatley my system does not have it built. After looking
at the README for it and seeing it depends on two separate packages to
support JPEG and TrueType font, I though maybe there was an easier way.

Tkinter is currently built and working on my Python 2.2.2 installation.
Is there some simple path to take a Tkinter.Canvas with some stuff drawn on
it and get it into a file as a JPEG (without anything from PIL, preferably
just using standard libraries)? (I have John Grayson's book. I haven't read
the whole thing but I'm not having much luck readily finding a way to do
this, though it may be there somewhere. Feel free to cite page numbers there
if that helps.)

Thanks for taking the time to read my post. :)

The Tkinter Canvas directly supports saving to postscript format, but
not any standard bitmap format (or even modern vector formats like pdf
or svg).

New to Tkinter. Initially, I had some code that was executing button commands at creation, rather than waiting for user action. Some research here gave me a solution, but I am not sure why the extra step is necessary. This causes the "graph" function to execute when the button is created: Button(root, text='OK', command=graph(canvas))) However, this waits until the button is pressed (the desired behavior): def doit(): graph(canvas)

Newbie. Playing with the 'turtle' module and wondering if there's a way to save the graphics you make with it.

Please take a look at and run the code snippet shown below. It creates a canvas with vertical & Horizontal scroll-bars. If you shrink the window to smaller than the area of the canvas, the scroll-bars work as advertised. That's great. However, if you click the Left Mouse button, it calls code which expands the width of the canvas by 100 pixels. The area being viewed expands correspondingly..... BUT I DON'T WANT IT TO!!

Below is a simple code snippet showing a Tkinter Window bearing a canvas and 2 connected scrollbars (Vertical & Horizontal). Works fine. When you shrink/resize the window the scrollbars adjust accordingly. However, what I really want to happen is that the area of the canvas that the scrollbars show (the Scrollregion) should expand as the window grows. It doesn't currently do this. although, if the window shrinks smaller than the...

Tkinter makes it very easy to drag jpeg images around on a canvas, but I would like to have a "target" change color when the cursor dragging an image passes over it. I seem to be blocked by the fact that the callbacks that might tell the target that the mouse has entered it (<Enter>, <Any-Enter>, even <Motion>) aren't called if the mouse's button is down. What am I missing? Have I failed to find the right Tkinter document? Is Tkinter...

I hate to do this, but I've thoroughly exhausted google search. Yes, it's that pesky root window and I have tried withdraw to no avail. I'm assuming this is because of the methods I'm using. I guess my question is two-fold. 1) How do I get rid of that window? 2) Any comments in general? I am just learning python (and coding with classes), so I'm sure there are things I should pound into my head before I learn bad habits. Here's the...
