I am trying to display text on top of an image. Right now the text is below the image or if I put a row=0 in the grid disappears. I am assuming it is behind the image. I can't seem to get it to work. My code is:

from Tkinter import *
from PIL import ImageTk
import csv
import time

root = Tk()

image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(file='C:\Users\Shawn\PycharmProjects\Test\Background.gif')

var0 = StringVar()
var1 = StringVar()
var2 = StringVar()
var3 = StringVar()

label0 = Label(root, fg="white", textvariable=var0)
label1 = Label(root, fg="white", textvariable=var1)
label2 = Label(root, fg="white", textvariable=var2)
label3 = Label(root, fg="white", textvariable=var3)

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
def csv_dict_reader(file_obj):
    reader = csv.DictReader(file_obj, delimiter=',')
    for column in reader:
        if (column["Week"]) == (time.strftime("%U")):
            var0.set(column["Parashat"])
            var1.set(column["Torah"])
            var2.set(column["Haftarah"])
            var3.set(column["Gospel"])

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
if __name__ == "__main__":
    with open("Torah.csv") as f_obj:
        csv_dict_reader(f_obj)

Label(root, image=image).grid(row=0, column=0)
label0.grid()
label1.grid()
label2.grid()
label3.grid()
mainloop()

I have tried putting the row and column in the label0.grid(row=1, column=1), along with all labels and all row and column numbers.

The outcome I want is label0 - label3 to be centered on top of the image. The image is black and dark blue so the white text will show well. Thank you.

Shawn

You can do this by adding the text option to the label with your photo in. Then look at the compound feature to format it. It would look like this: 

label=Label(image=image, text="Text", compound="center")

  • I have tried that, but since I am labeling using an if statement all i get is numbers and not the data I am looking for. Its not static text that I am using, but data called from a .csv file that depends on the week what data is shown. I tried: – sdruch Nov 02 '15 at 01:35

I tried: label=Label(image=image, text=text0, compound="center") and my result is: the picture with .52036512 on it when it is supposed to be the picture with Chayei Sarah. Just not sure what I am doing wrong. – sdruch Nov 02 '15 at 01:46

In the below code the orgin postion is set to (0,0) it belong to the top left corner

import cv2
font = cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX
orgin = (0, 0) 
fontScale = 1
color = (255, 0, 0) 
thickness = 2
image = cv2.putText(image, 'OpenCV', orgin, font,  
               fontScale, color, thickness, cv2.LINE_AA)
