Re: Re: Re: Tk::Image problem

To make up for my ignorance:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;

use Tk;
use Tk::Photo;

my $main = new MainWindow;

my $photo = $main->Photo(-format => 'gif', -file => 't.gif');

my $canvas = $main->Canvas(
    -width => $photo->width,
    -height => $photo->height,
)->pack( -side => 'top' );

$canvas->createImage(0, 0, -image => $photo, -anchor => 'nw');

MainLoop;

Tk::Photo is not a widget, just an object that contains the photo. Use a Tk::Canvas to display the photo.

That works, but a Canvas is overkill: `#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use Tk; use Tk::Photo; my $main = new MainWindow; my $photo = $main->Photo(-format => 'gif', -file => 't.gif'); $main->Label(-image => $photo)->pack; MainLoop;` [download] Are you sure it was a book?
