Bitmaps On Buttons ?

[PGMoscatt]

I am slowly progressing with my python app.

I have got to the point where I would like to place images onto my buttons.
I use Tkinter as my GUI libary.

The following is how I understand I place an image onto a button - but I am
not having much success with it all.

Any ideas ?

Pete

b=Button(ToolBa r,padx=1,pady=1 ,width=2,height =1,command=call quit,)
b.bitmap="@butt on_cancel.xbm"
b.place(x=0,y=0 )

b.bitmap="@butt on_cancel.xbm"
b.place(x=0,y=0 )

put the bitmap= inside the construction of the button widget like so:

b = Button(ToolBar, padx=1, pady=1, width=2, height=1, command=callqui t,
bitmap="@button _cancel.xbm")

BTW You shouldn't need to set the height and width - the button will
take it's size from the bitmap

BTW2 I notice you are using place geometry manager you may get a
'better' behaved GUI with the pack or grid geometry manager, it will
resize much better as widgets are pack'ed or grid'ed relative to each other

for more help you could try:

or the Wiki that has links to other sources of help (including the
Tkinter mailing list
