I want to display image dynamically in Tkinter using Pillow - python-3.x

Question

I want to be able to display photos dynamically in Tkinter I have one button that will find the paths to the photos I want to display and as I add photos I want them to be displayed at the top of the canvas
I have already tried going through a for loop of the array after I upload the photos but that doesn't seem to do what I want, and now I am trying to iterate with a while loop but that doesn't work. I am kind of at a loss now. Below is my code
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import filedialog as tkfd
from PIL import ImageTk, Image
import time
photo_name_list = []
def find_photos():
photo = tkfd.askopenfile()
photo_name_list.append(photo.name)
window = tk.Tk()
#creates the canvas
canvas = tk.Canvas(window, width = WINDOW_WIDTH,
height = WINDOW_HEIGHT, bg="green")
canvas.pack()
b1 = tk.Button(canvas, text="Click me to add 5 photos of yourself",
height = 5, width = 30, command = find_photos)
canvas.create_window(WINDOW_WIDTH//3, WINDOW_HEIGHT//3, window = b1)
while True:
if len(photo_name_list) > 0:
for image in photo_name_list:
img = Image.open(image)
tkimage = ImageTk.PhotoImage(img)
tk.Label(window, image=tkimage).pack()
canvas.update()
time.sleep(1/60)
window.mainloop()
So as you can see in the code I have one button that does that takes the path to an image as a string and appends it to the list. I want to display photos as they are appended.

Answer 1

This should work
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import filedialog as tkfd
from PIL import ImageTk, Image
import time
WINDOW_WIDTH = 500
WINDOW_HEIGHT = 500
phat_list = []
images_reference_list = []
def find_photos():
photo = tkfd.askopenfile()
file_path = photo.name
img = Image.open(file_path)
photo_image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(img)
tk.Label(window, image=photo_image).pack(side=tk.TOP)
images_reference_list.append(photo_image)
phat_list.append(file_path)
window = tk.Tk()
#creates the canvas
canvas = tk.Canvas(window, width = WINDOW_WIDTH,
height = WINDOW_HEIGHT, bg="green")
canvas.pack(side=tk.BOTTOM)
b1 = tk.Button(canvas, text="Click me to add 5 photos of yourself",
height = 5, width = 30, command = find_photos)
canvas.create_window(WINDOW_WIDTH//3, WINDOW_HEIGHT//3, window = b1)
window.mainloop()
I've added the code lines that display the photo inside the function find_photos().
The while statement was causing some troubles i assume, you have always to check if the while will ever end for have a working code
and if you want to display an image you have always to keep a solid reference of it , the best way is to add it into a list
