Tkinter, overlay foreground image on top of a background image with transparency
image, python, tkinter, transparency
Solution
Thanks Bryan. Got it, in addition to label, the issue of transparency resolved from another question here (same foregound image used as a mask)
I guess, this is what cost me -2 points :-|
Now it works as expected.
from Tkinter import *
import Tkinter
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
root = Tkinter.Tk() # A root window for displaying objects
# open image
imageHead = Image.open('head.png')
imageHand = Image.open('hand.png')
imageHead.paste(imageHand, (20, 40), imageHand)
# Convert the Image object into a TkPhoto object
tkimage = ImageTk.PhotoImage(imageHead)
panel1 = Label(root, image=tkimage)
panel1.grid(row=0, column=2, sticky=E)
root.mainloop() # Start the GUI
Problem
I have 2 images, in png format. The second image, is a shape with transparent background. First image: Second image: I cannot make the second image on top of the first at given coordinates (x,y) with the first image visible through the transparent zone of the second image. Result desired: ``` import Tkinter import Image, ImageTk # open an image head = Image.open('background2.png') hand = Image.open('foreground2.png') root = Tkinter.Tk() # A root window for displaying objects head.paste(hand,(20,20)) # Convert the Image object into a TkPhoto object tkimage = ImageTk.PhotoImage(head) root.mainloop() # Start the GUI ``` An empty tk window is displayed.
