I'm a student from the outside world with no previous programming experience. I have been learning Python as an extension of my math class. I have been trying to create a program that generates fractals using Tkinter. The code works well on its own, but the inclusion of a user-input GUI causes it to give an error:
Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python33\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1475, in __call__
return self.func(*args)
File "C:\Python33\FractalGUI.py", line 74, in fractals
canvas.create_image((0, 0), image = img, state = "normal", anchor = tkinter.NW)
File "C:\Python33\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 2319, in create_image
return self._create('image', args, kw)
File "C:\Python33\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 2310, in _create
*(args + self._options(cnf, kw))))
_tkinter.TclError: image "pyimage1" doesn't exist
The code itself is below. Please note that the error doesn't appear until the canvas.create_image line is run. If there is any other information that I can provide, please let me know. Thanks! :)
