Python Tkinter Tutorial Web Code Geeks. Today we will be talking about one python library that is used for GUI programming which is Tkinter. What is Tkinter. 1. More about Tkinter. Tkinter is a library that is used for creating interfaces. Sometimes, we not only need to think about software itself, complicated algorithms, but a good interface as well. Without good interface there is a very little chance that our software product would be popular. Its quite simple to create simple interfaces using the library.

Alright, I guess I have covered all possible installations. Lets get started, shall we Examples. Basic examples. First of all, we need to check if Tkinter has been successfully installed. To do so, we need to run the following Testimport tkinter. If everything is installed correctly, you will see a pop up window that has some text and two buttons. If you dont see it, go to the first section and download Tkinter first. Alright, lets go ahead and code There are 2 ways how to import Tkinter you may do import tkinter, or type from tkinter import. We will use the second option, because we wont have to name the module before using any methods. In any application, we always have some main window that eventually leads users to other widgets. Object window is a variable root. Go ahead and run this Main windowfrom tkinter import TkNow, lets create widget We will only have one button there. To access the button we will use Button method. The class Button has one mandatory attribute object that is associated with a button. The idea is that button cannot exist by itself. Adding buttonfrom tkinter import ButtonrootLets put some text on the button by doing the following Adding buttonfrom tkinter import Buttonroot. Hi thereSurely, button alone doesnt do much. We need to have some action with it. For instance, we want to print some text once we click the button. Escape The Airport Game. Adding buttondef printerevent. Hi there, this button worksDont forget that its essential to put this function in the beginning of the code because its an event. If we do left mouse click, it is Button. We have to bind function with the button in order to make it work. Adding buttonbut. So what we do here is we are binding the function printer with the event left mouse click on the button. Before we run the program, we need to pack it. The easiest way to do that is type the following Packingbut. If we dont type this, the program will still run. We wont see the button but it will be there. Lastly, the main window wont show up if we dont call it Main windowroot. Finally, our first program will look something like this basic. Hi there, this button works. Buttonroot. buttext Hi there. If you have ever read my article about Class Inheritance in Python, you know that I am fan of Object oriented programming. Lets recreate the same program but use OOPButprint. Buttonroot. self. Hi there. self. but. Hi there, this button works. Butprint. root. Widget. Buttons have many attributes. Some of them are bg background, fg foreground. Here is a simple example of the button button. Buttonroot. textIt is a button, text on the button. There are many ways of how text can be displayed.
