Tkinter: background image problems

I'm working on a game for a competition and it's coming along pretty nicely so far. I made an image I want to use as a background, so I loaded and placed it the same as I did with the player image:

self.bg_1=PhotoImage(file="bg_space.gif")

bg1=self.create_image(0,0,image=self.bg_1)

This is the result: bg error

It only shows a quarter of the whole image. Is the file size too big? Did I code something wrong?

I tried making four images, one for each quarter of the image, and position them in the correct spots on the canvas. This turned out even worse, and I think only showed a quarter of those as well.

I'm pretty puzzled about this, and would appreciate anyone's input on this. thanks

By default the image is centered on the coordinate you give it. To change this, set the parameter anchor to "nw" (northwest):

bg1=self.create_image(0,0,image=self.bg_1, anchor="nw")
