Understanding the Initial Program

This repository contains a skeleton version of ImageShop.py, which is the main module that you will need to modify (although you will have to create one other). There are a few other useful library files you will need for this project as well included, so take the time to browse over what resources are available to you. Running the ImageShop.py code in the repository will initially create the screen image shown in Figure 1 (a), which includes a button area to the left of the screen with Load and Flip Vertical buttons and then a blank area to the right where the image will be displayed.

Clicking Load brings up a file chooser that lets you select an image. A directory of sample images has been included in the repository, so if you navigate to the images folder you will see a list of the image files included in this project. If you select VanGogh-StarryNight.png, ImageShop will load that file and center it in the image area, as shown in Figure 1 (b). If you then click the Flip Vertical button, you will get the picture shown in Figure 1 (c), with the inverted image. Clicking the Flip Vertical button again restores the original image.
