How to start Tkinter window at a specific position of your display

In this tutorial, we will learn how to start the Tkinter window at a specific position of your display.

You can use the geometry method of the Tk class to set the window’s dimensions and position. The geometry method takes a string in the format “width x height + x +y”,  which are the dimensions of the window, and x and y are the distances corner from the screen from the top-left corner of the screen to the top-left corner of the window.

Start the Tkinter window at a specific position on your display

Let’s first create a simple window.

 

import tkinter as tk
newWindow = tk.Tk()
newWindow.title("HELLO")
newWindow.mainloop()

The output will be like this

Output

Using the geometry() method,

For Example,

Here’s A Python Code demonstrating how to position a Tkinter window at a specific location :

import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("300x200+100+50")
root.mainloop()

This will create a window with a width of 300 pixels, and a height of 200 pixels, and position the top-left corner of the window at coordinates (100,50) on your screen.

In this example:

1. root = tk.Tk() creates the main window.
2. root.mainloop() starts the Tkinter event loop, which waits for user interaction.

Procedure:

1. Import Tkinter: First, you need to import the Tkinter module.

2. Create the Main Window: Initialize a Tkinter window instance.

3. Set the Geometry: Use the geometry method to specify the size and position of the window.

4. Run the Application: Start the Tkinter event loop with mainloop().

You can adjust the width, height, x and  y variables to position the window as needed on your display.

These examples show how to control a Tkinter window’s starting position and size for user interactions.
