Features and Use of Label in Python Tkinter Example

In Python, when you want to display desired text or desired Image, There are many widgets availabel in python. you can Simply use label for multiple purpose. So, here we learn about how to use Tkinter Label in Python. But first you should understand about Tkinter.

What is Tkinter?
Tkinter is Python’s Basic Package or you can say it is Basic Graphical User Interface Toolkit, which contains many widgets. And a beginner programmer can start GUI Base application using Tkinter.

So, Here SKOTechLearn Describe the easy way to use Label in Python using Tkinter Example. And we describe the use of Label widgets in Python.

Now, Let’s start the basic Options, we need for Label Settings in Python.

Options	Details and use
text	Input desire string or value for display
anchor	This will align the text in Left, Right, Center. eg.: For Left align :  anchor=W For Right align : anchor=E For Center align : anchor=CENTER by default Label already set in center align.
bg / background	Label’s background color change option
fg / foreground	Label’s Text or Font color change option
relief	Option to set border style (raised, groove, solid, ridge, sunken, flat)
font	Set the font with font name, size and style. This option syntax is: font=("FontName", Size, style) eg: font=("Courier", 14, "bold")
image	This option will be use to display image inside Label and Image Control.
textvariable	This option is used to call predefined string to pass the variable in label to that particular class. This option uses StringVar for variable control.
bd / borderwidth	You can set border width from these two option: either bd or borderwidth.
height	Increasing or decreasing Label’s height will be control by this option by passing value like: height=4
width	Increasing or decreasing Label’s width will be control by this option by passing value like: width=30

Now Lets start to understand how to pass variable in label and some basic label’s setting through above given options:

Here, first you have to import all widgets from Tkinter toolkit.

from Tkinter import *

After that you will proceed:

 from Tkinter import *
 Myroot = Tk()
 myLbl = Label(Myroot, text="SKOTechLearn", relief="groove", bd=2) 
 myLbl.pack()
 Myroot.title("Tkinter Label in Python")
 Myroot.mainloop()

After executing this code, the following output will be show:

Now, Let’s see the textvariable example in Tkinter Label.

Font, background or foreground color and border settings of Label  in Python:

So, following code will cover the point:

• Tkinter Label font style in Python 
• Tkinter Label Background Color in Python
• Tkinter Label Foreground Color in Python 
• Tkinter Label Border Setting in Python

 from Tkinter import *
 Myroot = Tk()
 myvar = StringVar()
 myLbl = Label( Myroot, textvariable=myvar, relief = "groove", font =( "Courier", 14, "bold"),  bd=1, fg = "red", bg ="#DDEEF0" )    
 myvar.set( "SKOTechLearn" )
 myLbl.pack()
 Myroot.title( "Label in Python" )
 Myroot.mainloop()

This will show the following output.

And the Last Example will be use to show the multiple line label in Python.

Tkinter Multi-Line Label in Python

So, the simple process is to use “\n” inside text variable like following example.

 from Tkinter import *
 Myroot = Tk()
 myvar = StringVar()
 myLbl = Label( Myroot, textvariable=myvar, relief = "groove", font =( "Courier", 14, "bold"),  bd=1, fg = "red", bg ="#DDEEF0" )   
 # Use "\n" for Next Line in Python by Following Way .
 myvar.set( "SKO \n Tech \n Learn \n Tips" )
 myLbl.pack()
 Myroot.title( "Label in Python" )
 Myroot.mainloop()

And the final Multiline Label in Python output will be as:

So, this is the easy way to understand how to use Tkinter label in Python with step by step process and descriptions described in SKOTechLearn Tips.
