Displaying a picture with tkinter

[Arthur Perlo]

Thanks, that is a helpful example. But it doesn't solve my problem
My picture is not in a file. It consists of byte- or integer- pixels
that have been generated internally in my program. Is there a way I can
create an image without referring to a file, and download pixel data to it?
