Here is the description of this method from the reference: --- PlateDIB.PaintPicture() Method Copy the DIB bitmap to another using BitBlt. Syntax PlateDIB.PaintPicture(DeviceContext) The method syntax has these parts: Part Description DeviceContext (Long) Handle to a GDI device context containing the destination bitmap (HDC, Long) Return (Nothing) Does not return a value. Remarks Paints the bitmap in the PlateDIB object onto a bitmap in some other Windows Graphics Device Interface device. >From Visual Basic, you can paint into a Picture control. For example, suppose you have a form with a Picture control on it named picImage, and a PlateDIB object that has been Create()ed and Render()ed named pdM104: pdM104.PaintPicture picImage.handle --- I am new to Tkinter so this might be an easy problem for an expert but it is above my knowledge. I have lost already days with it :-( I was even wondering what HDC means. I see in VB that the PictureBox has a property called "HasDC" and it works with "m.PaintPicture Picture1.hDC" but I do not want to use VB at all and do all in Python/Tkinter. So the VB code snippet was just intended as a help to understanding the problem.
