Shouldn't you be able to bypass the intermediate file by using the Tk::Photo -data option?

Well, I did bypass the intermediate file in the second example using the -data option, but I tried to use your snippet which looked shorter anyway. Unfortunately, it didn't work. I think I've tried this in the past, but hoped for a second that the internals had been modified when you mentioned it. For it to work, the data has to be base64 encoded, before it can be passed, otherwise Tk complains that it doesn't understand the format.

I'd be interested if you have a way around this. I've only occasionally used GD, and I'm definitely not an expert with it.
