Problem with Tkinter.PhotoImage

=?iso-8859-1?q?C=E9dric_Lucantis?=

Hi,

I can only load gif images with Tkinter.PhotoImage and none with BitmapImage.
I tried png, jpg, bmp and xpm and always got this errors :

>>img = Tkinter.PhotoImage(file='/home/omer/fgfs/fgsync/map.xpm')

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 3206, in __init__
Image.__init__(self, 'photo', name, cnf, master, **kw)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 3162, in __init__
self.tk.call(('image', 'create', imgtype, name,) + options)
_tkinter.TclError: couldn't recognize data in image
file "/home/omer/fgfs/fgsync/map.xpm"

(or _tkinter.TclError: format error in bitmap data with BitmapImage)

I also tried the imageview demo with the bitmaps in Demo/tix/bitmaps and same
result (only works with tix.gif). Sounds weird that tkinter only supports a
non-free format... Am I lacking some packages or config ? I'm on a debian sid
and have the following python packages installed :

libboost-python1.34.1
python
python-central
python-doc
python-imaging
python-imaging-tk
python-minimal
python-mode
python-newt
python-selinux
python-semanage
python-support
python-tk
python2.4
python2.4-doc
python2.4-minimal

thanks,

That's because Tk only supports the gif format natively. You need to
install an additional photo library to support additional images (Tk has
an Img extension, and Python Image Library is also very good).
