Creating a Simple Button

In this section, we will develop a basic button that, when clicked, will close the main window.

Example Code:

# Importing the Tkinter library

from tkinter import *

# Creating an object to initialize the root window

root = Tk()

# Setting the window size for Tkinter

root.geometry('200x100')

# Creating a button that closes the window upon being clicked

button = Button(root, text='Click me!', bd='5', command=root.destroy)

# Using the pack method to position the button

button.pack(side='top')

root.mainloop()

Output: A simple button.

Creating a Button with an Image

In this example, we'll enhance the button's appearance by adding an image alongside its text. This button will not have the close functionality.

Example Code:

# Importing necessary libraries

from tkinter import *

from tkinter.ttk import *

# Creating an object to initialize the root window

root = Tk()

# Adding a label to the window

Label(root, text='This is a Button with an image', font=('Ariel', 10)).pack(side=LEFT, pady=10)

# Specifying the path to the image

photo = PhotoImage(file=r"index.png")

# Resizing the image

photoimage = photo.subsample(3, 3)

# Creating a button with an image

Button(root, text='Click Me!', image=photoimage, compound=LEFT).pack(side=TOP)

mainloop()

Output: Button featuring an image.

Creating Labels

In this section, we will create labels within a frame to display both text and images. When creating labels, parameters such as height, width, and font must be specified.

Example Code:

# Importing the library

from tkinter import *

# Creating an object to initialize the root window

root = Tk()

# Setting the window size

root.geometry("450x300")

# Creating a label for the user name

user_name = Label(root, text="Your Name").place(x=40, y=60)

# Creating a submit button

submit_button = Button(root, text="Submit").place(x=40, y=100)

# Creating a text input area

input_area = Entry(root, width=30).place(x=110, y=60)

root.mainloop()

Output: Label example.

Creating Radio Buttons

Radio buttons allow users to select one option from a set. In this example, we will create a radio button interface.

Example Code:

# Importing the library

from tkinter import *

from tkinter.ttk import *

# Creating an object to initialize the root window

root = Tk()

root.geometry("175x100")

# Variable to store the selected radio button's value

str_var = StringVar(root, "1")

# Creating radio buttons using a dictionary

values = {"Radio Button": "1"}

# Looping through the dictionary to create radio buttons

for (word, value) in values.items():

Radiobutton(root, text=word, variable=str_var, value=value).pack(side=LEFT, ipady=6)

root.mainloop()

Output: Radio button.

Creating Check Buttons

Check buttons are simple elements that allow users to select multiple options. Here’s how to create them.

Example Code:

# Importing the library

from tkinter import *

# Creating an object to initialize the root window

root = Tk()

root.geometry("400x150")

# Adding a label to the window

label_text = Label(root, text='This window is for check buttons', font="40")

label_text.pack()

Checkbutton1 = IntVar()

Checkbutton2 = IntVar()

Checkbutton3 = IntVar()

# Creating check buttons

Button1 = Checkbutton(root, text="Happy", variable=Checkbutton1, onvalue=1, offvalue=0, height=2, width=10)

Button2 = Checkbutton(root, text="Neutral", variable=Checkbutton2, onvalue=1, offvalue=0, height=2, width=10)

Button3 = Checkbutton(root, text="Sad", variable=Checkbutton3, onvalue=1, offvalue=0, height=2, width=10)

Button1.pack()

Button2.pack()

Button3.pack()

root.mainloop()

Output: Check list buttons.

Restricting the Size of the Window

This widget restricts the window size, ensuring it remains fixed according to specified dimensions.

Example Code:

# Importing the libraries

from tkinter import *

from tkinter.ttk import *

# Creating an object to initialize the root window

root = Tk()

root.title('Window Size Restrict')

root.geometry('250x100')

Label(root, text='This window size is fixed').pack(side=TOP, pady=10)

# Restricting window resizing

root.resizable(0, 0)

root.mainloop()

Output: Window size restriction.

Creating a Spinbox

A spinbox allows users to select a value from a defined range using up and down arrows.

Example Code:

# Importing the libraries

from tkinter import *

# Creating an object to initialize the root window

root = Tk()

root.geometry("200x100")

# Adding a label to the window

label_text = Label(root, text='Spin Box', font="50")

label_text.pack()

# Creating a spinbox for selection

spin_box = Spinbox(root, from_=0, to=5)

spin_box.pack()

root.mainloop()

Output: Spin box.
