tkinter - move an image between two canvases in python - Stack Overflow

admin2025-04-17  4

I would like to ask how can I move one image from upper canvas to lower canvas in python? here is my code which I would like to move an image from upper canvas to lower canvas:

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import font
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
import os

os.system("cls||clear")

def on_drag1(event):
    cw1.moveto(image11,x = cw1.winfo_pointerx() - cw1.winfo_rootx(),
                      y = cw1.winfo_pointery() - cw1.winfo_rooty())

def on_drop1(event):
    cw2.moveto(image11,x = cw2.winfo_pointerx() - cw2.winfo_rootx(),
                      y = cw2.winfo_pointery() - cw2.winfo_rooty()) 

win = Tk()

style = font.Font(size=20)

cw1 = Canvas(win,width=350, height=350,bg = "khaki2")
cw1.pack(fill="both",expand=True)

cw2 = Canvas(win, width=350, height=350,bg="salmon")
cw2.pack(fill="both", expand=True)

image1 = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open("E:\images\image1.jpg").
                        resize((100, 100), Image.Resampling.BICUBIC))

image11 = cw1.create_image(150, 150, image=image1,tags='image1Tag')

cw1.bind("<B1-Motion>",on_drag1)
cw1.bind("<ButtonRelease-1>",on_drop1)

win.geometry("650x650")
win.title("Draggable Widgets")
win.mainloop()

The problem is when I drag the image and wants to take it to lower canvas it goes behind the lower convas and will not show this image on the lower convas. Please let me know what is the problem and the remedy must take place. Thanks in advance

  • The image moves to the lower and it displays. But the issue is it does not appear while dragging in the lower canvas until I release mouse. Would you accept it? Also in the lower canvas the image is not drag-gable. – Subir Chowdhury Commented Feb 1 at 14:01
  • The image moves behind lower canvas and it disappeared. And does not appear while dragging in the lower canvas even if I release the mouse button. – Mohammad Eftekharian Commented Feb 1 at 14:18
  • I corrected the code. Now it is draggable to lower canvas. However, while dragging, it will disappear when it moves the lower canvas until you release the mouse. When you will release the mouse in the lower canvas, the image will appear. Also it is not draggable in the lower canvas. Would you accept it? – Subir Chowdhury Commented Feb 1 at 14:21
  • Really, would you mind share your code and is it mind how to drag-gable lower canvas as well? – Mohammad Eftekharian Commented Feb 1 at 14:28

Without making draggable in the lower canvas:

from tkinter import *
from PIL import Image, ImageTk

def on_drag(event):
    x, y = event.x, event.y
    cw1.coords(image_id, x, y)

def on_drop(event):
    global image_id

    x, y = event.x, event.y

    abs_x = cw1.winfo_rootx() + x
    abs_y = cw1.winfo_rooty() + y

    cw2_x = cw2.winfo_rootx()
    cw2_y = cw2.winfo_rooty()
    cw2_width = cw2.winfo_width()
    cw2_height = cw2.winfo_height()

    if cw2_x <= abs_x <= cw2_x + cw2_width and cw2_y <= abs_y <= cw2_y + cw2_height:
        cw1.delete(image_id)

        new_x = abs_x - cw2_x
        new_y = abs_y - cw2_y
        image_id = cw2.create_image(new_x, new_y, image=image1, tags='image1Tag')

win = Tk()
win.geometry("650x650")
win.title("Draggable Image Between Canvases")

cw1 = Canvas(win, width=350, height=350, bg="khaki2")
cw1.pack(fill="both", expand=True)

cw2 = Canvas(win, width=350, height=350, bg="salmon")
cw2.pack(fill="both", expand=True)

image1 = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open("plot.png").resize((100, 100), Image.Resampling.BICUBIC))

image_id = cw1.create_image(150, 150, image=image1, tags='image1Tag')

cw1.tag_bind(image_id, "<B1-Motion>", on_drag)
cw1.tag_bind(image_id, "<ButtonRelease-1>", on_drop)

win.mainloop()

To make the image is draggable in the two canvases:

from tkinter import *
from PIL import Image, ImageTk

def on_drag(event):
    x, y = event.x, event.y
    event.widget.coords(image_id, x, y)

def on_drop(event):
    global image_id, current_canvas

    x, y = event.x, event.y
    abs_x = event.widget.winfo_rootx() + x
    abs_y = event.widget.winfo_rooty() + y

    target_canvas = None

    if cw1.winfo_rootx() <= abs_x <= cw1.winfo_rootx() + cw1.winfo_width() and \
       cw1.winfo_rooty() <= abs_y <= cw1.winfo_rooty() + cw1.winfo_height():
        target_canvas = cw1
    elif cw2.winfo_rootx() <= abs_x <= cw2.winfo_rootx() + cw2.winfo_width() and \
         cw2.winfo_rooty() <= abs_y <= cw2.winfo_rooty() + cw2.winfo_height():
        target_canvas = cw2

    if target_canvas and target_canvas != current_canvas:
        current_canvas.delete(image_id)
        new_x = abs_x - target_canvas.winfo_rootx()
        new_y = abs_y - target_canvas.winfo_rooty()
        image_id = target_canvas.create_image(new_x, new_y, image=image1, tags='image1Tag')
        current_canvas = target_canvas

        target_canvas.tag_bind(image_id, "<B1-Motion>", on_drag)
        target_canvas.tag_bind(image_id, "<ButtonRelease-1>", on_drop)

win = Tk()
win.geometry("650x650")
win.title("Draggable Image Between Canvases")

cw1 = Canvas(win, width=350, height=350, bg="khaki2")
cw1.pack(fill="both", expand=True)

cw2 = Canvas(win, width=350, height=350, bg="salmon")
cw2.pack(fill="both", expand=True)

image1 = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open("plot.png").resize((100, 100), Image.Resampling.BICUBIC))

image_id = cw1.create_image(150, 150, image=image1, tags='image1Tag')
current_canvas = cw1

cw1.tag_bind(image_id, "<B1-Motion>", on_drag)
cw1.tag_bind(image_id, "<ButtonRelease-1>", on_drop)

win.mainloop()
