title: How to use an image for the background in tkinter?
body: <pre><code>#import statements
  from Tkinter import *
  import tkMessageBox
  import tkFont
  from PIL import ImageTk,Image
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Code to import image:</p>
  
  <pre><code>app = Tk()
  app.title("Welcome")
  image2 =Image.open('C:\\Users\\adminp\\Desktop\\titlepage\\front.gif')
  image1 = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image2)
  w = image1.width()
  h = image1.height()
  app.geometry('%dx%d+0+0' % (w,h))
  #app.configure(background='C:\\Usfront.png')
  #app.configure(background = image1)
  
  labelText = StringVar()
  labelText.set("Welcome !!!!")
  #labelText.fontsize('10')
  
  label1 = Label(app, image=image1, textvariable=labelText,
                 font=("Times New Roman", 24),
                 justify=CENTER, height=4, fg="blue")
  label1.pack()
  
  app.mainloop()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This code doesn't work. I want to import a background image.</p>
