imshowTk is a zero dependency alternative to opencv's imshow function. It was developed to allow us to show an image window when using opencv-headless and don't want to use a larger UI library. It uses tkinter which comes as standard in most Python installations.
imshowTk is part of the SciKit-Surgery software project, developed at the Wellcome EPSRC Centre for Interventional and Surgical Sciences, part of University College London (UCL).
Basic use case
from from imshowtk.imshowtk import ImshowTk
imshow = ImshowTk()
frame = cv2.imread('project-icon.png')
imshow.imshow(frame)
del imshow
