    <p>I have written a short module that can be passed an image and simply creates a Tkinter window and displays it. The problem that I am having is that even when I instantiate and call the method that displays the image in a separate thread, the main program will not continue until the Tkinter window is closed.</p> <p>Here is my module:</p> <pre><code>import Image, ImageTk import Tkinter class Viewer(Tkinter.Tk): def __init__(self,parent): Tkinter.Tk.__init__(self,parent) self.parent = parent self.initialize() def initialize(self): self.grid() def show(self,img): self.to_display = ImageTk.PhotoImage(img) self.label_image = Tkinter.Label(self,image=self.to_display) self.label_image.grid(column = 0, row = 0, sticky = "NSEW") self.mainloop() </code></pre> <p>It seems to work fine, except when I call it from my test program like the one below, it will not seem to allow my test program to continue, even when started in a different thread.</p> <pre><code>import Image from viewer import Viewer import threading def showimage(im): view = Viewer(None) view.show(im) if __name__ == "__main__": im = Image.open("gaben.jpg") t = threading.Thread(showimage(im)) t.start() print "Program keeps going..." </code></pre> <p>I think that perhaps my problem is that I should be creating a new thread within the module itself, but I was wanting to just try and keep it simple, as I am new to Python.</p> <p>Anyway, thanks in advance for any assistance.</p> <p>edit: To clarity, I am just trying to make a module that will display an image in a Tkinter window, so that I can use this module any time I want to display an image. The problem that I am having is that any time a program uses this module, it cannot resume until the Tkinter window is closed.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
