Is .png the only format acceptable in python's tkinter module?
Question:
I tried inserting a picture with format .jpg as a PhotoImage
But everytime i try running the program, it gives the following error:
couldn’t recognize data in image file
But this never happens with an .png picture, which makes me wonder if .png is the only format acceptable in tkinter?
Answers:
The docstring for PhotoImage says:
class PhotoImage(Image):
"""Widget which can display images in PGM, PPM, GIF, PNG format."""
So no, PNG is not the only acceptable format. PGM, PPM, GIF, and PNG are. JPEG is not.
