Using external image in python

Question

I'm making simple application using turtle graphic library.

I tried to do .bgpic, But it seems doesn't walk as I wanted.

I putted the image at the same directory where python source file located, and I did like this:

screen = turtle.Screen()
screen.bgpic("picture.png")

but It doesn't changes anything. When I run it, it has just white background.

What should I do?

Answer 1

Image must be gif-file, doc

turtle.bgpic(picname=None)

Parameters: picname – a string, name of a gif-file or "nopic", or None

Set background image or return name of current backgroundimage. If picname is a filename, set the corresponding image as background. If picname is "nopic", delete background image, if present. If picname is None, return the filename of the current backgroundimage.

picture.gif

import turtle

screen = turtle.Screen()
screen.bgpic("picture.gif")
turtle.done()
