Hello, Pythonistas Welcome Back. Today we will see how to add an image using CustomTkinter.

We will use the CTkImage and CTkLabel Widgets.

How To Add An Image Using Customtkinter

Basic Code To Add An Image Using Customtkinter

Now to add an image using Customtkinter we need 3 things:

  1. CTkImage
  2. CTkLabel
  3. Image module of Python.

First, we need to open an image using the Image module.

Next, we need to pass this image to the CTkImage class.

Lastly, we need to pass this image to the CTkLabel class.

# Importing necessary module
from customtkinter import CTk, CTkImage, CTkLabel
from PIL import Image
# Creating an App class that inherits from CTk (Custom Tkinter)
class App(CTk):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__() # Calling the constructor of the superclass (CTk)
        self.title("Switch Bulb On or Off")

        self.on_img = CTkImage(light_image=Image.open("images\\bulb_on.png"),size=(300,400))
        
        self.il = CTkLabel(self, image=self.on_img, text="")
        self.il.grid(row=0, column=0, pady=20, padx=20)
        

app = App()
app.mainloop()
