Put an icon in the window of tkinter

You want to put an icon into your app made with Python and tkinter? Read this post and you’ll get to the point.

I got this icon that is a png file. I want to add it to a window of tkinter, having the image in the same directory of the code.

This to me does not work

import tkinter as tk


root = tk.Tk()
root.iconbitmap("calculator.png")

root.mainloop()

I get this result and no error message

So, I tried this

import tkinter as tk


root = tk.Tk()
root.tk.call('wm', 'iconphoto', root._w, tk.PhotoImage(file='calculator.png'))

root.mainloop()

and it worked, cool

import tkinter as tk


root = tk.Tk()
root.tk.call('wm', 'iconphoto', root._w, tk.PhotoImage(file='calculator.png'))

root.mainloop()

This was the result, as you can see I got the image in the top left of the window, as I wanted.

See ya in the next post
