PYTHON CODING WITH TKINTER LIBRARY
I have mentioned in my first digital book of Kindle edition ‘Python Coding for Beginners’ that my next book will be an Advanced version of Python Coding. Now I have changed my plan as users have to get more familiarity with Python coding before going for advanced version. This book ‘Python-Tkinter’ serves that purpose.
In this book ‘Python Tkinter’ we will be exploring the use of tkinter library. I will be showing coding for desktop applications through-out this book using tkinter. You may become an expert in Python tkinter after the thorough study of this book.
As tkinter is included in all Python distributions, developers don’t need to install additional packages. Tkinter provides an interface toolkit, which is a cross-platform collection of widgets. Tkinter has long been an integral part of Python.
Tkinter is the first option for a lot of Python developers because it is quick and easy. Tkinter python library can be used to construct basic graphical user interface (GUI) applications. Tkinter is the most wildly used module in GUI applications. Python is used to create applications that facilitate data analysis, Software testing etc. Tkinter provides a variety of widgets that can be used to create interactive user interfaces.
Advantages of tkinter:
Tkinter is a free software released under Python license. Tkinter is easy and fast to implement as compared to any other GUI modules of Python. It is more flexible and stable.
As tkinter is included in Python, so nothing extra needed to be downloaded. Tkinter provide simple syntax.
Tkinter is used to create desktop applications, to build international business tools and so on. It is used to create cross platform applications
Tkinter package (Tk interface) is the standard Python interface to GUI toolkit. Both Tk and tkinter are available on most Unix platforms, macOS, and on Windows systems. It provides a robust windowing toolkit. Usually Python programmers use tkinter package, and its extension tkinter.ttk module. Tkinter is a set of wrappers that implement the Tk widgets as Python classes.
In tkinter, a widget is essentially a graphical component that user can inter act with. They can range from simple elements like buttons and labels to more complex ones like text entry fields, listboxes, and canvases. Each widget serves a specific purpose and can be customized to the requirements of the user application.
Each widget of tkinter is an instance of a specific class defined in the Tkinter module. These classes provide methods and attributes that allow you to configure the appearance, behavior, and functionality of your program.
The Tkinter layout mangers like pack(), grid(), or place() can determine the position and size of the window or frame within the interface.
Let us go through each step of a code how to make a tkinter window.
# first you have to import tkinter full with following code
from tkinter import *
# here we are creating our own class, window,
# from the Frame class which is a class
# in tkinter module
class Window(Frame):
def __init__(self, master=None):
Frame.__init__(self, master)
self.master = master
# above code is all we need to get a window instance
# root window is created in the following code
root = Tk()
# in the following code we create an instance
app = Window(root)
# finally show it and start the mainloop
root.mainloop()
If you copy above code in Thonny software and run the program you will get an output of a window on your main window.
