How to create a Tkinter window on a specific screen
Basic introduction to GUI
This tutorial will cover Python GUI concepts for graphical user interfaces. It is important to understand a Python GUI, how it works, and how to create one using Python programs. I am building a GUI to design a specific screen window using Python programming.
What is GUI?
A GUI is a graphical user interface that allows users to interact with a computer or software application through graphical elements, such as buttons, menus, windows and icons rather than text-based commands.
What is Python GUI?
A Python GUI is an interface created using Python programming that allows users to interact with software through graphical components like windows, buttons, menus, text fields, and icons rather than typing text commands.
Python offers several libraries and frameworks for creating GUIs, the most popular is being:
- Tkinter: This is the most popular GUI and standard library for creating simple GUIs.
- PyQt: This is a set of Python bindings for a Qt application framework that is suitable for creating more complex applications.
- Kivy: A library used for building multi-touch applications and is often used for mobile apps.
- WxPython: Another GUI for Python, similar to Tkinter but with more native-looking interfaces.
Now we see that the topic is Python graphical user interfaces how to install this library how to use this library and how to create a simple program to use that library.
let’s go to the topic :
How to install this library in the command prompt:
Step 1:
check the Python version in our using the current operating system:
windows:
Python --versionpip -Vpip install tkimport Tkinter as tk root=tk.Tk() root.mainloop()
Code explanation:
line-1:
first of all, import the Tkinter module as tk to the program code:
import Tkinter as tk
line-2:
second, create an instance of a tk.Tk() a class that will create a new application window:
root=tk.TK()
By convention, the main window is called the root.
line-3:
third, call mainloop() method of the main window object:
root.mainloop()
The mainloop() method ensures the main window remains visible on the screen.
output:
In this tutorial, you will learn about the basic concept of Python GUI and create a Tkinter window on a specific screen.
