tkinterhowtos

Introduction

This repository contains solutions to simple "how to" problems in tkinter, that is problems you would ask help about by asking questions that start with "how to". An example of a question is how to remove a row from a Treeview?.

Goal

The aim of this project is to decrease the time looking up in the documentation and/or in websites like Stack Overflow for solutions to recurrent simple "how to" problems (while developing a tkinter GUI). It does that by providing concrete implementations of solutions (which you can simply copy and paste or, in general, easily adjust to your needs) and a logically structured repository.

Structure

The folder widgets contains examples of solutions to "how to" problems related only to specific widgets. For example, in widgets/Text we can find the file style_parts_of_text.py, which basically contains an example of a solution on how to style certain parts of text (or simple words) in a Text widget.

Every file is intended to contain solutions to one single problem. Examples are concise. Each module's doc-strings contains a list of the references used while implementing the example.

References

Many solutions to "how to" problems in this repository have been based on solutions I found on websites such as Stack Overflow. So, even if I'm the author of the concrete implementations in this repository, in many (or most) cases I'm not the originator of the ideas used to implement the solutions.
