How do you set a Tkinter frame size?
This is the code that's giving me trouble. f = Frame(root, width=1000, bg="blue") f.pack(fill=X, expand=True) l = Label(f, text="hi", width=10, bg="red", fg="white") l.pack() If I comment out the lines with the Label, the Frame displays with the right width. However, adding the Label seems to shrink the Frame down to the Label's si...
Is there a known Win32 Tkinter bug with respect to displaying photos on a canvas?
I'm noticing a pretty strange bug with tkinter, and I am wondering if it's because there's something in how the python interacts with the tcl, at least in Win32. Here I have a super simple program that displays a gif image. It works perfectly. from Tkinter import * canvas = Canvas(width=300, height=300, bg='white') canvas.pack() ...
tkinter - set geometry without showing window
I'm trying to line up some label and canvas widgets. To do so I need to know how wide my label boxes are. I'd like my widget to auto-adjust if the user changes the system font size, so I don't want to hard code 12 pixels per character. If I measure the label widget it's always 1 pixel wide. Until I call .update(), then I get the corr...

Dynamically creating a menu in Tkinter. (lambda expressions?)
I have a menubutton, which when clicked should display a menu containing a specific sequence of strings. Exactly what strings are in that sequence, we do not know until runtime, so the menu that pops up must be generated at that moment. Here's what I have: class para_frame(Frame): def __init__(self, para=None, *args, **kwargs): ...
Resetting the main GUI window
I just want the equivalent of closing and reopening my main program. I want to invoke it when a "new"-like option from a drop-down menu is clicked on. Something like calling root.destroy() and then re-initiating the mainloop. How can I get this done? ...
Get Tk winfo_rgb() without having a window instantiated
I know I can call Tkinter.Tk().winfo_rgb(color) to get a tuple of values that represent the named color. for instance Tkinter.Tk().winfo_rgb("red") returns (65535, 0, 0) The problem is it also opens a window. I was hoping to abstract some color calculations into a generic color class, and handle whether or not the class was instantiat...

classmethod for Tkinter-Monitor-Window
Hello together, I would like to realise a monitor window that reports the user about ongoing computations. To do so I wrote a little class. But as I would like to use it accross different modules in an easy fashion I thought to implement it with classmethods. This allows to use it in the following way without instances: from MonitorMod...
Updating tkinter labels in python
I'm working on giving a python server a GUI with tkinter by passing the Server's root instance to the Tkinter window. The problem is in keeping information in the labels up to date. For instance, the server has a Users list, containing the users that are logged on. It's simple enough to do this for an initial list: string = "" for user...
How to avoid Gdk-ERROR caused by Tkinter, visual, and ipython?
The following lines cause with ipython a crash as soon as I close the tk-window instance a. import visual, Tkinter a = Tkinter.Tk() a.update() display = visual.display(title = "Hallo") display.exit = 0 visual.sphere() If I close the visual display first, the entire terminal crashes.

Why in the world does Python's Tkinter break using canvas.create_image?

GUI app spawned from a LocalSystem Service (via CreateProcessAsUser) does not have focus
I have created a service which display a sort of splash screen on the desktop of a specific user and only when that user is logged in (kiosk user). That splash screen, once entered a valid code, will tell that to the service and the service goes to sleep for an x amount of time (depending of the code). The splash screen simply quits. N...
