Re: [Matplotlib-users] Basemap white space

[Filipe P. A. F. <oc...@gm...>]

Thanks for point TKinter to me. However, I'm stuck again.

I've tried two approaches, one is following what you suggested:

""" Tkinter  """
import Tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open('map.png')) # load saved image
#image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(im) # load image from StringIO
tk.Label(root, image=image).pack()

The other is to convert the PIL image to array and show with imshow()

""" PIL to array """
from matplotlib.image import pil_to_array
rgba = pil_to_array(Image.open('map.png')) # load saved image
#rgba = pil_to_array(im) # load image from StringIO
rgba = rgba.astype(np.float32)/255.
imshow(rgba)

Both work fine for a saved image. However, they return strange errors
when I tried to apply them to the image from "StringIO", or even for a
saved image in the same script used to generate them. I guess that
something I import from matplotlib is causing a conflict here.

Here are the error messages:

""" Tkinter  """
_tkinter.TclError: image "pyimage9" doesn't exist


""" PIL to array """
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'char const*'

I'm attaching the script.
