It represents all the Basics and Elementary concepts of GUI Interface of Python Tkinter, and contains all the needed code concepts for proper implementation and creation of a Basic GUI Application.
This GitHub repository features a collection of Python projects utilizing Tkinter for graphical user interfaces. It includes various examples, from simple widgets to complex applications, demonstrating Tkinter's capabilities. Ideal for developers seeking practical, hands-on experience with GUI development in Python. Comprehensive documentation and source code are provided.
Python offers multiple options for developing GUI (Graphical User Interface). Out of all the GUI methods, tkinter is the most commonly used method. It is a standard Python interface to the Tk GUI toolkit shipped with Python. Python Tkinter is the fastest and easiest way to create GUI applications. Creating a GUI using Tkinter is an easy task.
Below we have the command for intalling tkinter in Windows using this command in CMD
pip install tkinter
For Testing whether the Module is been installed properly or not !
import tkinter as tk
tk._test()Initiating the Window with Tk()
To create a main window, tkinter offers a method ‘Tk(screenName=None, baseName=None, className=’Tk’, useTk=1)’. To change the name of the window, you can change the className to the desired one.
Ending it the mainloop() Method
There is a method known by the name mainloop() is used when your application is ready to run. mainloop() is an infinite loop used to run the application, wait for an event to occur, and process the event as long as the window is not closed.
General Syntax Code :
import tkinter as tk # Module Imported
window = tk.Tk() # Main window Initiated

window.mainloop()Creating Interactive applications using Tkinter’s, using basic widgets. From simple frames and labels to more complex elements like scrollable frames and treeviews, we’ll cover a wide range of widgets and their customization options.
| Widgets | Uses |
|---|---|
| Label | Used for getting the static text and images to be displayed |
| Button | Used for creating different buttons containing different purposes or methods |
| Entry | Allow the user for creating input places for getting single-line text input from the user |
| Frame | Used for creating frame or like a container for particular purpose |
| Checkbutton | Creates the checkbox and allow multiple input choices from the user |
| Radiobutton | Used in the case of creating a single choice in the form of single input from the user |
| Listbox | Used for creating multiple list options |
| Scrollbar | Creates a Scrollbar for providing this feature in the window |
| Menu | Used for creating a Menu Options as a general taskbar for Main Window |
| Canvas | Used for creating graphics and all canvas elements |
Creating more Interactive different tools inside your owned application or designed application with the help of different intermediate widgets like Combobox, Scale, Toplevel, message box. These customization tools will surely give you a new look to the Designed Application.
| Widgets | Uses |
|---|---|
| Combobox | It provides a proper dropdown list of options with editable entry |
| Scale | It is been created in order to select a value within a particular range |
| TopLevel | Used for creating an additional window or dialog box |
| Message | Used for displaying a simple messagebox or notification |
| MenuButton | Creates a Button for opening the menu of the Window |
| ProgressBar | Used for creating a proper progress related to a particular task |
| SpinBox | Provides a numerical input and output options to be shown a interact using Arrow Keys |
There are various types of widgets available in Tkinter such as button, frame, label, menu, scrolledtext, canvas and many more. A widget is an element that provides various controls. ScrolledText widget is a text widget with a scroll bar.
| Widgets | Uses |
|---|---|
| ScrolledText | Used for creating text widget together with the built-in Scrollbars |
| Treeview | It is used for getting the hierarchical data in a tree-like structure. |
| MessageBox | Used for getting the dialog box displayed the warnings or messages,.etc |
| Treeview Scrollbar | Used for adding scrollbar to the Treeview |
| Text | It creates multiple line text input with advance editable capacities |
Efficiently managing the geometry of Tkinter windows and widgets is essential for creating polished user interfaces. In this section, we’ll cover everything from setting window dimensions to handling resizing, padding, and widget positioning.
We’ll explore methods like place(), grid(), and pack() to help you create organized and responsive layouts. Additionally, we’ll delve into advanced techniques like the PanedWindow widget.
| Method's Name | Uses |
|---|---|
| place() | Used for providing specific position in the Entire GUI Window. |
| pack() | Used for placing at the position after the earlier widget. |
| grid() | It is used for placing the elements in the format of grid view or grid structure. |
The choice of fonts, colors, and images can make a significant impact on the user experience and the overall aesthetic appeal of an application. In this section, we will delve into the intricacies of customizing fonts, exploring a variety of color options, and incorporating images into your projects.
| Widgets | Uses |
|---|---|
| Fonts | This Widget contains differnet implementation of Fonts |
| Colors | This Widget is used for setting up the colors in other different Widgets |
| Images | It is used for setting up images in different position and frames in GUI Framework |
| Canvas | Canvas in GUI Framework is used for setting shapes and graphics in Window |
| Binding | Binding method is used in order to change the configuration of different widgets and frames |
