As a library for Python Tkinter offers many ways to create a button on the tkinter canvas. In this article we will see how we can create a tkinter button with normal tkinter module as well as how to get it without using the themed tkinter module.
Using tkinter
In the program below we first create a canvas and then apply the Button method to create a button. We import the entire tkinter module, so the themes get applied to the button we create.
Example
# import everything from tkinter module
from tkinter import *
# create canvas
canv = Tk()
# Open canvas
canv.geometry('200x150')
# Create a Button
btn = Button(canv, text='Welcome to Tkinter!', bd='5',
command=canv.destroy)
# Set the button position.
btn.pack(side='top')
canv.mainloop()Output
Running the above code gives us the following result −
Using tkinter.ttk
We repeat the above process but this time we also include the tkinter.ttk module. It does not have the border (bd) option but it provides a light blue highlight colour when the mouse is brought over the button.
Example
# import everything from tkinter module
from tkinter import *
from tkinter.ttk import *
# create a canvas
canv = Tk()
# Open a window
canv.geometry('200x150')
# Create a Button
btn = Button(canv, text='Welcome to Tkinter!',
command=canv.destroy)
# Set the button position.
btn.pack(side='top')
canv.mainloop()Output
Running the above code gives us the following result −
