Tkinter is a standard Python library for developing GUI-based applications. We can create games, tools, and other applications using the Tkinter library. To develop GUI-based applications, Tkinter provides widgets.
Sometimes, there might be a requirement to hide a widget for some time. This can be achieved by using the pack_forget() method. When we pack the widget in the window using the various methods, we have to use the same method for hiding the widget.
Example
# Import the required libraries
from tkinter import *
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
# Create an instance of tkinter frame or window
win=Tk()
# Set the size of the tkinter window
win.geometry("700x350")
# Create a canvas widget
canvas=Canvas(win, width=400, height=300)
canvas.pack()
# Add an image in the canvas widget
img=ImageTk.PhotoImage(file="baseball.png")
canvas.create_image(100, 150,image=img)
# Hide the image from the canvas after sometime
canvas.after(3000, canvas.pack_forget)
win.mainloop()Output
Running the given code will display an image in the Canvas widget that will disappear after sometime.
