TK Inter

The document discusses using Tkinter to build graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in Python. Tkinter is an in-built Python package that provides widgets to create windows, buttons, labels and other GUI elements. The document demonstrates how to import Tkinter, create a window, add buttons and other widgets, and handle events like button clicks. It also lists common Tkinter widgets and discusses potential issues users may encounter with Tkinter.

Python Tkinter Tutorial

Python GUI

To develop GUI application in Python, there are multiple options in terms of python packages. The most
generally used package is tkinter.

In this Python GUI Tutorial, we will use tkinter to learn how to develop GUI applications. You may be wondering
on why we are using tkinter. The answer is quite simple. There is a large tkinter community online that can help
you, through forums and other websites.

While tkinter provides the widgets with the all the functionality and behavior aspects, there is another module
named tkinter.ttk which provides themed widget set.

Getting Started with Tkinter


Tkinter is an inbuilt python package. You can import the package and start using the package functions and
classes.

import tkinter as tk

or you can use the other variation of importing the package

from tkinter import *

Create a Simple GUI Window


To create a GUI Window, tkinter provides Tk() class. The syntax of Tk() class is:

Tk(screenName=None, baseName=None, className=’Tk’, useTk=1)

Following is a simple example to create a GUI Window.

example.py – Python Program

import tkinter as tk

main_window = tk.Tk()
main_window.mainloop()

Output
You can change the title of the window by using title function on the root or main window widget.

example.py – Python Program

import tkinter as tk

main_window = tk.Tk()
main_window.title('Python GUI Tutorial - by TutorialKart')
main_window.mainloop()

Output

Python GUI Widgets

You can add widgets into the window. Also note that there are a wide variety of widgets you can use from
tkinter. In this Tkinter Tutorial, we will cover all these widgets. Following are the list of Tkinter widgets.

Button
Canvas
Checkbutton
Radiobutton
Entry
Frame
Label
Listbox
Menu
MenuButton
Message
Scale
Scrollbar
Text
TopLevel
SpinBox
PannedWindow

After creating a GUI window using Tk() and before calling the mainloop() function on the window, you can add
as many widgets as required.

from tkinter import *

gui = Tk()
# add widgets here
gui.mainloop()

Example – Tkinter Button Widget


To add a button to the Python Window, use the following syntax

button = Button(master, option=value)


button.pack()

where master is the window to which you would like to add this button, and you may provide different options to
the button constructor. The options available for button are:

Option Description

activebackground button’s background color when button is under the cursor

activeforeground button’s foreground color when button is under the cursor

bg background color of button

command function to be called on click

font font on the button label

image image on the button

width width of the button

height height of the button

text text of the button label

In this example, we will create a simple button with values provided for some of the options,

Python Program
from tkinter import *

# create gui window


gui = Tk(className='Python GUI Tutorial - by TutorialKart')

#widgets start

button = Button(gui, text='Submit', width=50, height=4, bg='#33CC33', fg='#FFFFFF', activebackground


button.pack()

#widgets end

gui.mainloop()

Output
