Summary<\/strong>: in this tutorial, you’ll learn about the Tkinter Label<\/code> widget and how to use it to display a text or image on the screen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Introduction to Tkinter Label widget #<\/a><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tkinter Label<\/code> widget displays a text or image on a window. To create a Label<\/code> widget, you follow these steps:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

First, import ttk<\/code> module from tkinter<\/code>:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

from<\/span> tkinter import<\/span> ttk<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> JavaScript<\/span> (<\/span>javascript<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n
Second, create a Label<\/code> widget using the Label<\/code> constructor:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
label = ttk.Label(master, **kw)<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> Python<\/span> (<\/span>python<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Label<\/code> widget has many options that allow you to customize its appearance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Displaying a text label #<\/a><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The following program shows how to display a text label on the main window:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
import<\/span> tkinter as<\/span> tk\r\nfrom<\/span> tkinter import<\/span> ttk\r\n\r\n# Main window<\/span>\r\nroot = tk.Tk()\r\nroot.geometry('300x200'<\/span>)\r\nroot.title('Label Widget Demo'<\/span>)\r\n\r\n# Create a label<\/span>\r\nlabel = ttk.Label(root, text='This is a label'<\/span>)\r\nlabel.pack()\r\n\r\nroot.mainloop()<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> Python<\/span> (<\/span>python<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n
Output:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\"\"<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n
How it works.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
First, create a new instance of the Label<\/code> widget:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
label = ttk.Label(root, text='This is a label'<\/span>)<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> JavaScript<\/span> (<\/span>javascript<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n
Second, place the Label<\/code> on the main window by calling the pack()<\/code> method:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
label<\/span>.pack<\/span>()<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> CSS<\/span> (<\/span>css<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n
If you don’t call the pack() function, the program still creates the label but does not show it on the main window.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The pack()<\/code> function is one of three geometry managers in Tkinter, including:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
