[Tutor] How I use images in a GUI?

[Liam Clarke-Hutchinson]

Depends on your GUI toolkit and widget.

For instance, in wxPython's  wx.BitmapButton widget, there's a specific
method to set the bitmap, and then the underlying C++ code interfaces with
the GDI portion of the Win32 API and draws it for you.

I'm not too sure about Tkinter, but I assume it's the same way. 
With regards to games, I suggest you check out www.pygame.org
<http://www.pygame.org> , instead of trying to use a GUI framework as it
makes basic game development very simple, whereas a GUI framework doesn't.
Especially with adding images to shapes on screen.

Subject: [Tutor] How I use images in a GUI?


Hey all,
 
I have a question that I can't figure out, despite reading the help and
everything else. How do I use an image or images in a Graphic User
Interface, and link them to parts of my code i.e. a picture of a game piece
to its value?
 
Thanks in advance,
Nathan Pinno
