I have a canvas that has a width of w and a height of h. I'm trying to fit my (1000 x 800) image on it using image = image.zoom(w).subsample(800). But it's giving me the error: _tkinter.TclError: not enough free memory for image buffer. Can someone please help?
When you call zoom, the first parameter specifies how much to multiply each pixel by. If you only provide an x value, the y value will be the same as the x value. Thus, if w is 1000, zoom(x) will attempt to create an image that is one million pixels wide by 800,000 pixels tall. That's nearly a terabyte of image data.
