while using Pyautogui in Tkinter for automtion, window gets resized and misplaced

I have programmed a tkinter window for virtual assistant and I'm using pyautogui.
Following is the simplest code I am using to take ss after the func in called from button click in a tkinter window.
This program take the screenshot but resizes(smaller) and misplaces the window from corner of the desktop to the center.
Can any one help me with this why is it happning.
I have tried the if _ name_ == '_ main _' for the tkinter file(main.py) and init method for pyautogyi file(screen_shot.py)
and i can't keep both of the in same file.
The same thing happens when i try to open webbrowser and use pyautogui to click on the browser window.
me tkinter
plz tell me what i am doing wrong or any solution to it.
thanks
def takescreenshot():
pyautogui.hotkey('win','printscreen')
return "done"

Yes, You can stop tkinter to stop resizing by including following lines of code
import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
root.resizable(width=False, height=False)
root.mainloop()
If it dont works please let me know!

Tkinter new window declaration

Recently while using python tkinters declaration has not been working. What i mean by this is that a for any file where tkinter has not been imported before, simple code such as creating a window is not possible. Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, how is it solved?
Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.
The code is simply supposed to open a window in tkinter. But, when run, no window is displayed.
from tkinter import *
def sample():
window = Tk()
sample()

That's so interesting.
You have to use tkinter.Tk() instead of Tk().
Thanks

Try This :
from tkinter import * # Importing everything from the Tkinter module
win = Tk() # Initializing Tkinter and making a window
def sample():
new_win = Toplevel() # This creates a new window
sample()
win.mainloop() # If this is not there, the code won't work

Problem with tkinter code execution order

I have my principal script running with terminal that works perfectly. Im trying to make a gui for it but im stuck at this point.
Like you see on the screen, at the start of the script it asks if it should check the database. And just after, it asks first the platform before opening the captcha for the database check. The problem happens exactly here on my GUI version, look.
Like you see, the gui starts, but when i click on check for new database, it directly opens the captcha without asking the platform... And it asks me the platform only after i solved the captcha which i dont want to after...
Here is the main testkinter.py code:
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import messagebox
import commands
import CheckDatabase
import SetPlatformfile
def check_and_hide():
CheckDatabase.db_download(root)
checkdb.pack_forget()
checkdb1.pack_forget()
root = tk.Tk()
checkdb = tk.Button(root, text="Check for new databases", command=check_and_hide)
checkdb.pack()
checkdb1 = tk.Button(root, text="No")
checkdb1.pack()
root.mainloop()
Here is the set_platform function called in the Checkdatabse file:
import tkinter as tk
import config
from tkinter import messagebox
def set_platform(root):
platform = tk.Label(root,text="'a'|Android -- 'i'|iOS: ")
platform.pack()
androidbutton=tk.Button(root,text="Android",command=renameplatformandroid)
iosbutton=tk.Button(root,text="iOS",command=renameplatformios)
androidbutton.pack()
iosbutton.pack()
def renameplatformandroid():
config.platform = 'android'
print(config.platform)
def renameplatformios():
config.platform = 'ios'
print(config.platform)
And cuz of my checkdatabase file is really really long, i'll just put a screen at the exact moment where set_platform is called (its called in the func signup which itself is directly called at the beginning of db_download) .
I hope my question is clear! Let me know if you need more details.

When using Tkinter, error: TclError: image "pyimage8" doesn't exist

I keep getting the error, TclError: image "pyimage8" doesn't exist.
It is strange, as the number increases every time I run it?
I'm running python using spyder, dunno whether this affects anything.
Here is my code:
#import tkinter
import Tkinter as tk
homescreenImage = PhotoImage(file="Homescreen.gif")
#create a GUI window.
root = Tk()
#set the title.
root.title("Welcome to the Pit!")
#set the size.
root.geometry("1100x700")
homescreenFrame = tk.Frame(root, width=1100, height = 700)
homescreenFrame.pack()
homescreenLabel = tk.Label(homescreenFrame, image=homescreenImage)
homescreenLabel.pack()
#start the GUI
root.mainloop()

I found that my script would run once and then give me an error on subsequent runs. If I restarted the console, it would run again. I solved the problem by using the following code in the beginning of my script:
import sys
if "Tkinter" not in sys.modules:
from Tkinter import *
It works every time now.

If you import Tkinter as tk you should use the alias tk when calling tk, eg. root = tk.Tk(). Otherwise Python will not find Tk.
You don't need to import PIL for this.
You can not create a Photoimage before you create Tk.
Try this:
import Tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Welcome to the Pit!")
root.geometry("1100x700")
homescreenImage = tk.PhotoImage(file="Homescreen.gif")
homescreenFrame = tk.Frame(root, width=1100, height = 700,)
homescreenFrame.pack()
homescreenLabel = tk.Label(homescreenFrame, image=homescreenImage)
homescreenLabel.pack()
root.mainloop()
Be kind and paste the whole error message in your question also.

Following could be the errors:
1) Give the whole path to the file name
eg: "/home/user/Homescreen.gif"
2) If you are using windows and the above doesn't work:
use "\\C:\\home\\Homescreen.gif" (this is because, windows gets confused)
3) If that also, doesn't work, ensure that the directory of your python
program is the same as that of the image.
4) Also, create the photoimage only after you have created the root
window.
5) For some reason, while running in the debugger, if any previous
executions had thrown errors I get the "pyimage doesn't exist" error.
However, if I restart the debugger (or no previously executed scripts
have thrown errors), then the program runs fine.
6) Also, don't import PIL, it's not required.
Try all the above, if it doesn't work let me know.
Hope this helps.

i think this could be due to :
tkinter only supports .png format for images
Yet, there are other ways to add .gif`` instead of PhotoImage```

In my case, it was because I forgot to keep a reference to the image. Try adding this line after creating the label:
homescreenLabel.image=homescreenImage.

You should use Toplevel window that is directly managed by the window manager.
Just change :
root = Tk() to root = Toplevel()

Tkinter pyimage doesn't exist

I know there are lot of similar questions, but there aren't any simple enough that I am able to understand. I have the following code:
import Tkinter as tk
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
class MainWindow:
def __init__(self, master):
canvas = Canvas(master)
canvas.pack()
self.pimage = Image.open(filename)
self.cimage = ImageTk.PhotoImage(self.pimage)
self.image = canvas.create_image(0,0,image=self.cimage)
filename = full_filename
root = tk.Tk()
x = MainWindow(root)
mainloop()
and I get the following error:
TclError: image "pyimage36" doesn't exist
I've read some stuff about the image objects getting garbage cleaned but I don't quite understand it.

Figured it out. For some reason, while running in the debugger, if any previous executions had thrown errors I get the "pyimage doesn't exist" error. However, if I restart the debugger (or no previously executed scripts have thrown errors), then the program runs fine.

I had the same error message when using spyder 3.3.6 the only way i could get the .png file to load and display after getting the 'Tinker pyimage error ' was to go to the Console and restart the kernel. After that i worked fine.

If you are using a IDE with a console(such as Spyder) just call root.mainloop() in the console.
Odds are that you have a bunch of partially loaded tkinter GUI's that never managed to be executed due to an error that prevented the root.mainloop() function from being run.
Once you have run the root.mainloop() a bunch of GUI's will likely appear on screen. After you have closed all those GUI's try running your code again.

Read more about mainloop() here: https://pythonguides.com/python-tkinter-mainloop/

from tkinter import *
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
root = Tk()
root.title("Title")
img = Image.open('Paste the directory path')
bg = ImageTk.PhotoImage(img)
lbl = Label(root, image=bg)
lbl.place(x=0, y=0)
mainloop()
I was getting the same error. Try this code this will help you.
Additionally, in case if you create a button and use it to open other window, then there use window = Toplevel(), otherwise it will again show the same error.

From programmersought
image “pyimage1” doesn’t exist
Because there can only be one root window in a program, that is, only one Tk() can exist, other windows can only exist in the form of a top-level window (Toplevel()).
Original code
import tkinter as tk
window = tk.TK()
Revised code
import tkinter as tk
window = tk.Toplevel()
Keep other code unchanged
