Hi Alan, in your function 'moo' 'pi' is a local variable which gets garbage collected when the function returns. Thus your image goes to gc nirvana. Making 'pi' global like this
def moo(master): global pi img = Image.open('plotfig.png') f = Tkinter.Frame(master, width=800, height=600) pi = ImageTk.PhotoImage(img) t = Tkinter.Label(f, image=pi) f.pack() t.place(x=0, y=0, width=800, height=600) t.pack() should do the trick. This is a guess as I am not using Image and ImageTk. But I had the same problem with Tix.PhotoImage. So I guess this is it. BTW you use 'place' and 'pack' for the label. As I understood your supposed to use exactly ONE geometry handler for a gui element in tk.
