Buttons with Images created on the go

A little script to show how to make a new image and use it to make a fun button in tkinter.

The output is this:

import tkinter as tk
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageTk, ImageFont


def create_image():
    "Use a new image for the button"
    width = 160
    im = Image.new("RGBA", (width, 20), "red")
    d = ImageDraw.Draw(im)
    d.text((
        0, 0),
        "Click on this button",
        font=ImageFont.truetype("arial", 18), fill="blue")
    d.line((0,2,width,2), fill="yellow")
    d.line((0,18,width,18), fill="yellow")
    img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(im)
    img.image = img
    b = tk.Button(
        root,
        bd=0,
        relief="groove",
        compound=tk.CENTER,
        text="",
        image=img
    )
    b.pack()


root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Buttons")
create_image()
root.mainloop()
