Summary<\/strong>: in this tutorial, you’ll learn how to manipulate various attributes of a Tkinter window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following simple program shows the main window:<\/p>\n\n\n

import<\/span> tkinter as<\/span> tk\n\nroot = tk.Tk()\nroot.mainloop()<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> Python<\/span> (<\/span>python<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
Output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The main window has a title that defaults to tk<\/code>. It also has three system buttons including Minimize, Maximize, and Close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s learn how to change the attributes of the main window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Changing the window title #<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To change the window’s title, you use the title()<\/code> method like this:<\/p>\n\n\n
root.title(new_title)<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> Python<\/span> (<\/span>python<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
For example, the following changes the title of the root window to 'Tkinter Window Demo'<\/code>:<\/p>\n\n\n
import<\/span> tkinter as<\/span> tk\n\nroot = tk.Tk()\nroot.title('Tkinter Window Demo'<\/span>)\n\nroot.mainloop()<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> Python<\/span> (<\/span>python<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
Output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
To get the current title of a window, you use the title()<\/code> method with no argument:<\/p>\n\n\n
title = root.title()<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> Python<\/span> (<\/span>python<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
Changing window size and location #<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In Tkinter, the position and size of a window on the screen is determined by its geometry<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following shows the geometry specification:<\/p>\n\n\n
widthxheight\u00b1x\u00b1y<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> Python<\/span> (<\/span>python<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
\"Tkinter<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
In this specification:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
