opencv window in tkinter frame

Question

I am making a hand controlled media player application in Python and through OpenCV.I want to embed gesture window of OpenCV in Tkinter frame so I can add further attributes to it. Can someone tell how to embed OpenCV camera window into Tkinter frame?

Answer 1

OpenCV window in Tkinter window is not good idea. Both windows use own mainloop (event loop) which can't work at the same time (or you have to use threading) and don't have contact one with other.

Probably it is easier to get video frame and display in Tkinter window on Label or Canvas. You can use tk.after(miliseconds, function_name) to run periodically function which will update video frame in Tkinter window.
