As part of a program I am working on I want to display a
48x48 XBM image on the main window. I have done a lot
of searching for code snippets and I found what appears
to be the correct way to do it using a Label. So far I
have not been able to get it to work. I have tried
different variations of the syntax but nothing will
display the image. The Label will expand to size of
the image but nothing is there. I have the background
of the Label set to white so it can be seen.
For experimentation I create a small program for the
sole purpose of displaying an XBM image. The complete
script is pasted below. I am thinking the problem
might have something with the way the image object
is being created. I'm probable making a dumb newbie
mistake. BTW, if I run the script from a terminal
window, I do not get any errors. Any guidance is
appreciated.
