MEASURING THE SCREEN DIMENSIONS

In this tutorial we are going to learn how to get the dimensions of screen in Tkinter using python in easy and simple way

it is often essential to know the screen dimensions. This information allows developers to create responsive applications that adapt to different screen sizes.

Tkinter, Python’s standard GUI toolkit provides a straight way to access the screen’s width and height. By using the winfo_screenwidth() and winfo_screenheight() methods, you can easily retrieve these dimensions, enabling you to position windows, elements, and design layouts that enhance user experience.

In this guide, we’ll explore how to get the screen width and height using Tkinter.

How to Retrieve Width and Height Using Tkinter

lets see the step by step process to retrieve width and height using Tkinter

1. first install the Tkinter. it is included with standard Python installations, so we usually don’t need to install it separately. but if you’re using a minimal installation you may need to ensure it’s available.
2. Next import the Tkinter. Start your Python script by importing the Tkinter module. Use (import Tkinter as tk) for simplicity.
3. Create a Root Window. Initialize a Tkinter root window by creating an instance of the tk class. This window acts as the main application window.
4. Retrieve Screen Dimensions. Use the winfo_screenwidth() and winfo_screenheight() methods of the root window to get the screen’s width and height in pixels.
5. Print the Dimensions. Output the retrieved screen dimensions to the console to confirm they are correct.
6. finally clean up all by Calling the destroy() method on the root window to close it and free up resources.

Example code-

import tkinter as tk 


root = tk.Tk()


screen_width = root.winfo_screenwidth() # Width in pixels
screen_height = root.winfo_screenheight() # Height in pixels


print(f"Screen Width: {screen_width} pixels")
print(f"Screen Height: {screen_height} pixels")


root.destroy()

 

The sample output for the sample code-

Screen Width: 1536 pixels
Screen Height: 864 pixels

Conclusion-

In this sample output we can clearly see the width and height of screen

so, the program for measuring the screen width and height using Tkinter in python has been  executed successfully
