i have a window and i am trying to add an image to it. the window so far consists of a label entry box and button. i want to add the image below the label but above the entry box button. Here is my code: 

    master = Tk()
    master.wm_title("Lightning Parties")
    master.configure(background='lightgreen')
    Label(master, text="Staff Login", fg='black', bg='lightgreen', font=    ('comicsans', 14)).grid()
    Label(master, text="Please enter the password ", fg='black', bg='lightgreen', font=('comicsans', 12)).grid(row=7)

    Password= Entry(master)

    Password.grid(row=7, column=1)

    Button(master, text='Login', command=validateStaff, fg='black', bg='white', font=('comicsans', 12)).grid(row=10, column=1, sticky=W, pady=4)

The image i want to add has the file name 'sonic.png'.

    What problem are you having that can't be solved by reading available documentation? There are examples all over the internet showing how to add images to tkinter programs. – Bryan Oakley Jan 27 '17 at 17:04

    As @BryanOakley correctly stated, you should do some debugging at your own end once before posting on SO. Having said that have a look at these posts. 1. [tkinter-photoimage-doesnt-not-support-png-image](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27599311/tkinter-photoimage-doesnt-not-support-png-image) 2. [how-to-add-an-image-in-tkinter-python-2-7](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10133856/how-to-add-an-image-in-tkinter-python-2-7) – Harshdeep Sokhey Jan 27 '17 at 17:07

    read tutorial or documentation: ie. [The Tkinter PhotoImage Class](http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/photoimage.htm) – furas Jan 27 '17 at 18:02

    @brenda Its not rude. Its just how SO works. Before you approach another person with a problem, you should do some digging at your end. Asking people for solutions without debugging is rather #rude! #NoOffense – Harshdeep Sokhey Jan 27 '17 at 18:08
  • i did debug it, and looked through documentation and i can't get my head around it. just because i don't dedicate my whole life to programming doesn't mean i should be disrespected and made to look stupid. we all struggle with different things, this is just my issue. SO is a place people go for help as a last resort. do you not think i have already spent hours trying to fix and research this myself? because for your information i did. if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all! #peaceout – brenda Jan 27 '17 at 20:37

You can create a PhotoImage with the image you want, this will work for .png, .gif and lots of other image files.

Simply put your image in a Label and put the Label in the grid

from tkinter import *

master = Tk()
master.wm_title("Lightning Parties")
master.configure(background='lightgreen')
Label(master, text="Staff Login", fg='black', bg='lightgreen', font=    ('comicsans', 14)).grid()
Label(master, text="Please enter the password ", fg='black', bg='lightgreen', font=('comicsans', 12)).grid(row=7)

Password= Entry(master)    
Password.grid(row=7, column=1)

my_image = PhotoImage(master = master, file = "Your_image.png") # your image
label = Label(master, image = my_image) # put the image on a label
label.grid(row = 6, column = 0, columnspan = 2) # put the label in the grid

Button(master, text='Login', command=validateStaff, fg='black', bg='white', font=('comicsans', 12)).grid(row=10, column=1, sticky=W, pady=4)

Also @Brenda the people commenting on your post are just trying to help you :) When I first joined SO some of my posts got down voted, you should learn from mistakes rather than being defensive :)

  • thanks, i tried this code but when i tried to run an error came up and said 'image "pyimage1" doesn't exist'. my image is called 'sonic' so i just changed the 'your_image.png' part of the code to 'sonic.gif'. any ideas where it has gone wrong? thanks again – brenda Jan 28 '17 at 12:35
  • is your image in the same folder as your Program? If not, that may be the cause of the error – Tom Fuller Jan 29 '17 at 13:10
  • I think the error saying that pyimage1 doesn't exist is because the image isn't linked to a master. Hopefully if you add `master = master` to the `PhotoImage` it should work – Tom Fuller Feb 07 '17 at 18:55
