Overlaying Images over a baground image that I assigned

Python Help

Hi fellow developers I want to overlay a image over the baground that I assigned in Tkinter
is there a way to do it?

Hi and welcome.

We’ll need a little more to go on. e.g: when you say background are you referring to the color parameter bg= in a tkinter object constructor?

The solution will also be dependent on the Geometry Management that you use.

This example should get you going. Obviously, you’ll need to re-code line 13 to point to an image on your machine.

Note: the path construction I’ve used is for a Linux distro and as such you’ll need to alter that for systems that are not Linux based.
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import Canvas, PhotoImage, Label

root = tk.Tk()

# creat the root window
root.geometry("800x400")
root.title("Image on backGround")
root.resizable(False, False)

backGround = Canvas(root, bg="#006400", height=400, width=800)

getImage = PhotoImage(file='/home/rob/Pictures/like-19479.png')

image = Label(backGround, image=getImage)

backGround.grid()
image.place(relx=0.1, rely=0.1)

root.mainloop()

If you want a photo image as the background, use this as lines 11 – 13

backGround = Canvas(root, height=400, width=800)
getBackground = PhotoImage(file='/home/rob/Pictures/background.png')
backGround.create_image(0,0,image=getBackground)
