tkinter button not showing image
Depending on how the rest of your program is structured, your image might be getting cleared by garbage-collection:
From http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/photoimage.htm
Note: When a PhotoImage object is garbage-collected by Python (e.g. when you return from a function which stored an image in a local variable), the image is cleared even if it’s being displayed by a Tkinter widget.
To avoid this, the program must keep an extra reference to the image object. A simple way to do this is to assign the image to a widget attribute, like this:
label = Label(image=photo)label.image = photo # keep a reference!label.pack()
In your case, you can start your function by declaring img1 as a global variable to retain a reference:
global img1
or, if you already have img1 elsewhere in your program:
img1 = PhotoImage(file="C:/Users/Josh Bailey/Desktop/pi_dmx/Gif/mainmenu.gif")img1Btn = Button(recw, image=img1, command=rec_preset_1)img1Btn.image = img1img1Btn.grid(row=1, column=1)
