How to Use Bitmap images in Button in Tkinter? (original) (raw)
Last Updated : 13 Jan, 2021
Prerequisite: Python GUI – tkinter
Python offers multiple options for developing GUI (Graphical User Interface). Out of all the GUI methods, tkinter is the most commonly used method. It is a standard Python interface to the Tk GUI toolkit shipped with Python.
A bitmap is an array of binary data representing the values of pixels in an image. A GIF is an example of a graphics image file that has a bitmap.
To create a bitmap image ‘bitmap’ attribute of the button() function is used display. It can take the following values:
- error
- gray75
- gray50
- gray25
- gray12
- hourglass
- info
- questhead
- question
- warning
Syntax:
Button(…, bitmap=””)
Approach 1:
- Import module
- Create object
- Create buttons
- Execute code
Program:
Python3
from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
Button(root, relief = RAISED, bitmap = "error" ).pack(pady = 10 )
Button(root, relief = RAISED, bitmap = "hourglass" ).pack(pady = 10 )
Button(root, relief = RAISED, bitmap = "info" ).pack(pady = 10 )
Button(root, relief = RAISED, bitmap = "question" ).pack(pady = 10 )
Button(root, relief = RAISED, bitmap = "warning" ).pack(pady = 10 )
Button(root, relief = RAISED, bitmap = "gray75" ).pack(pady = 10 )
Button(root, relief = RAISED, bitmap = "gray50" ).pack(pady = 10 )
Button(root, relief = RAISED, bitmap = "gray25" ).pack(pady = 10 )
Button(root, relief = RAISED, bitmap = "gray12" ).pack(pady = 10 )
Button(root, relief = RAISED, bitmap = "questhead" ).pack(pady = 10 )
root.mainloop()
Output:
Approach 2:
In this method, we will create a list of bitmaps and iterate through all bitmaps while passing them to button() function.
- Import module
- Create object
- Create bitmap list
- Iterate through the list
- Create buttons while iterating
- Execute code
Program:
Python3
from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
bitmaps = [ "error" ,
`` "gray75" ,
`` "gray50" ,
`` "gray25" ,
`` "gray12" ,
`` "hourglass" ,
`` "info" ,
`` "questhead" ,
`` "question" ,
`` "warning" ]
for bit in bitmaps:
`` Button(root, relief = RAISED, bitmap = bit).pack(pady = 10 )
root.mainloop()
Output:
