Python Programming Help - Python Tkinter Tutorial

Welcome to my Course Python Tkinter Tutorial

In this course, we are going to learn how to do GUI in python.

I am a python developer for a long time, and I’m so excited to share my knowledge of this awesome programming Language.

This course is designed for both beginner and professional, and also helpful for everyone who wish to learn the GUI Programming in Python Tkinter.

I hope you’ll join me on this journey to learn Python with the python: Getting started courses at CodersArts.

In this series of python learning. We will discuss the following topics

Stands for "Graphical User Interface" and is pronounced "gooey." It is a user interface that includes graphical elements, such as windows, icons and buttons. The term was created in the 1970s to distinguish graphical interfaces from text-based ones, such as command line interfaces. However, today nearly all digital interfaces are GUIs.

The first commercially available GUI, called "PARC," was developed by Xerox. It was used by the Xerox 8010 Information System, which was released in 1981. After Steve Jobs saw the interface during a tour at Xerox, he had his team at Apple develop an operating system with a similar design. Apple's GUI-based OS was included with the Macintosh, which was released in 1984. Microsoft released their first GUI-based OS, Windows 1.0, in 1985.

Top python Libraries which is use by most of GUI developer is:

To read basic about these Libraries first we know about "Tkinter".

Tkinter is an inbuilt Python libraries used to create simple GUI apps. It is the most commonly used module for GUI apps in the Python.

To understand it clearly first we will see working of small code in which we will print hello world:

Example:

"""Hello World application for Tkinter"""

from tkinter import *

from tkinter.ttk import *

root = Tk()

label = Label(root, text="Hello World")

label.pack()

root.mainloop()

First line used to import module tkinter from python library

In second line tkinter.ttk used to import ttk library with tkinter to add extra features.

pack() used to pack the content so user can see it.

The last line calls the mainloop function. This function calls the endless loop of the window, so the window will wait for any user interaction till we close it.

Widgets are something like elements. There are different types of widgets which used in Tkinter

Here below we discuss complete details about all widgets- how will use it and how it works?

A Label widget shows text to the user. Labels are used to create texts and images and all of that:

Example:

import tkinter

parent_widget = tkinter.Tk()

label_widget = tkinter.Label(parent_widget, text="A Label")

label_widget.pack()

tkinter.mainloop()

Output:

To add a button in your application, this widget is used.

Example:

import tkinter

window = tkinter.Tk()

button_widget = tkinter.Button(window,text="A Button")

button_widget.pack()

tkinter.mainloop()

Output:

An Entry widget gets text input from the user.

Example:

import tkinter

window = tkinter.Tk()

entry_widget = tkinter.Entry(window)

entry_widget.insert(0, "Type your text here")

entry_widget.pack()

tkinter.mainloop()

Output:

A Radiobutton lets you put buttons together, so that only one of them can be clicked. If one button is on and the user clicks another, the first is set to off.

Example:

import tkinter

window = tkinter.Tk()

v = tkinter.IntVar()

v.set(1) # need to use v.set and v.get to set and get the value of this
  variable

radiobutton_widget1 = tkinter.Radiobutton(window,text="Radiobutton
  1",variable=v,value=1)

radiobutton_widget2 = tkinter.Radiobutton(window,text="Radiobutton
  2",variable=v, value=2)

radiobutton_widget1.pack()

radiobutton_widget2.pack()

tkinter.mainloop()

Output:

You can display a Radiobutton without the dot indicator

Example:

import tkinter

window = tkinter.Tk()

v = tkinter.IntVar()

v.set(1)

radiobutton_widget1 = tkinter.Radiobutton(window,

text="Radiobutton 1",

variable=v, value=1,

indicatoron=False)

radiobutton_widget2 = tkinter.Radiobutton(window,

text="Radiobutton 2",

variable=v, value=2,

indicatoron=False)

radiobutton_widget1.pack()

radiobutton_widget2.pack()

tkinter.mainloop()

Output:

A Checkbutton records on/off or true/false status

Example:

import tkinter

window = tkinter.Tk()

checkbutton_widget = tkinter.Checkbutton(window,

text="Checkbutton")

checkbutton_widget.select()

checkbutton_widget.pack()

tkinter.mainloop()

Output:

Use a Scale widget when you want a slider that goes from one value to another.

Example:

import tkinter

window = tkinter.Tk()

scale_widget = tkinter.Scale(window, from_=0, to=100,

orient=tkinter.HORIZONTAL)

scale_widget.set(25)

scale_widget.pack()

tkinter.mainloop()

Output:

A Scale widget can be vertical (up and down).

Example:

import tkinter

window = tkinter.Tk()

scale_widget = tkinter.Scale(window, from_=0, to=100,

orient=tkinter.VERTICAL)

scale_widget.set(25)

scale_widget.pack()

tkinter.mainloop()

Output:

Use to show large areas of text.

Example:

import tkinter

window = tkinter.Tk()

text_widget = tkinter.Text(window,

width=20, height=3)

text_widget.insert(tkinter.END,

"Text Widgetn20 characters widen3 lines high")

text_widget.pack()

tkinter.mainloop()

Output:

The LabelFrame acts as a parent widget for other widgets, displaying them with a title and an outline. LabelFrame has to have a child widget before you can see it.

Example:

import tkinter

window = tkinter.Tk()

labelframe_widget = tkinter.LabelFrame(window,

text="LabelFrame")

label_widget=tkinter.Label(labelframe_widget,

text="Child widget of the LabelFrame")

labelframe_widget.pack(padx=10, pady=10)

label_widget.pack()

tkinter.mainloop()

Output:

You use a Canvas widget to draw on. It supports different drawing methods.

Example:

import tkinter

window = tkinter.Tk()

canvas_widget = tkinter.Canvas(window,bg="blue",width=100,height= 50)

canvas_widget.pack()

tkinter.mainloop()

Output:

Listbox lets the user choose from one set of options or displays a list of items.

Example:

import tkinter

window = tkinter.Tk()

listbox_entries = ["Entry 1", "Entry 2",

"Entry 3", "Entry 4"]

listbox_widget = tkinter.Listbox(window)

for entry in listbox_entries:

listbox_widget.insert(tkinter.END, entry)

listbox_widget.pack()

tkinter.mainloop()

Output:

The Menu widget can create a menu bar.

Example:

import tkinter

window = tkinter.Tk()

def menu_callback():

print("I'm in the menu callback!")

def submenu_callback():

print("I'm in the submenu callback!")

menu_widget = tkinter.Menu(window)

submenu_widget = tkinter.Menu(menu_widget, tearoff=False)

submenu_widget.add_command(label="Submenu Item1",

command=submenu_callback)

submenu_widget.add_command(label="Submenu Item2",

command=submenu_callback)

menu_widget.add_cascade(label="Item1", menu=submenu_widget)

menu_widget.add_command(label="Item2",

command=menu_callback)

menu_widget.add_command(label="Item3",

command=menu_callback)

window.config(menu=menu_widget)

tkinter.mainloop()

Output:

The OptionMenu widget lets the user choose from a list of options

Example:

import tkinter

window = tkinter.Tk()

control_variable = tkinter.StringVar(window)

OPTION_TUPLE = ("Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3")

optionmenu_widget = tkinter.OptionMenu(window,control_variable, *OPTION_TUPLE)

optionmenu_widget.pack()

tkinter.mainloop()

Output:

Tkinter possess three layout managers.

Example

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()

w = tk.Label(root, text="Red Sun", bg="red", fg="white")

w.pack(fill=tk.X)

w = tk.Label(root, text="Green Grass", bg="green", fg="black")

w.pack(fill=tk.X)

w = tk.Label(root, text="Blue Sky", bg="blue", fg="white")

w.pack(fill=tk.X)

tk.mainloop()

Output:

It used to bind the event by mouse or keyboard to perform specific action

Example:

#!/usr/bin/python3

# write tkinter as Tkinter to be Python 2.x compatible

from tkinter import *

def hello(event):

print("Single Click, Button-l")

def quit(event):

print("Double Click, so let's stop")

import sys; sys.exit()

widget = Button(None, text='Mouse Clicks')

widget.pack()

widget.bind('<Button-1>', hello)

widget.bind('<Double-1>', quit)

widget.mainloop()
