Adding Screenshots to Your GitHub Readme File with PySimpleGUI 2020

PySimpleGUI is a simple and easy-to-use Python library for creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs). In this tutorial, we will show you how to add screenshots to your GitHub’s README file using PySimpleGUI.

To get started, you will first need to install PySimpleGUI. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

pip install PySimpleGUI

Next, create a new Python script and import the PySimpleGUI library. You can then create a simple GUI window that displays your screenshot. Here is an example script that creates a window with a screenshot:

import PySimpleGUI as sg

layout = [[sg.Image(filename='screenshot.png')],
          [sg.Button('Close')]]

window = sg.Window('Screenshot Example', layout)

while True:
    event, values = window.read()
    if event == sg.WIN_CLOSED or event == 'Close':
        break

window.close()

In this script, we first define the layout of the GUI window using PySimpleGUI elements. We then create a new window with the specified layout. The window will display the screenshot.png file in an Image element. Finally, we run a loop that checks for events on the window, such as closing the window or clicking the Close button.

To add this screenshot to your GitHub README file, you will need to first take a screenshot of your GUI window. You can do this by pressing the PrtScn (Print Screen) button on your keyboard. Alternatively, you can use a screenshot tool such as Snipping Tool or the built-in screenshot tool on your operating system.

Save the screenshot as a PNG file in the same directory as your Python script. In the example script above, we saved the screenshot as screenshot.png.

Next, upload the screenshot.png file to your GitHub repository. You can do this by dragging and dropping the file into the repository’s files section or using a Git client to push the file to the repository.

Finally, you can add the screenshot to your README file using Markdown syntax. You can embed the image in your README file using the following syntax:

![Screenshot](screenshot.png)

Replace screenshot.png with the filename of your screenshot. When you push the changes to your GitHub repository, the screenshot will be displayed in your README file.

That’s it! You have successfully added a screenshot to your GitHub’s README file using PySimpleGUI. We hope this tutorial was helpful, and feel free to explore more features of PySimpleGUI to create more advanced GUI applications.
