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.
