Tkinter Canvas

Tkinter Canvas belongs to Tkinter desktop UI. Create Tk(), add this widget, pack or grid it, then mainloop() — without mainloop the window never appears.

Tkinter Canvas — output: Tk() then Canvas(text='Hello Asha') then pack → mainloop. Run real Tkinter on your laptop to open the window.

Trap for Tkinter Canvas: writing command=fn() with brackets. That calls the function immediately. Pass the function name: command=fn.

Exam tip

Widget job + pack + mainloop. One sentence each.

Example

# Tkinter Canvas
print("Tk()")
print("Canvas(text='Hello Asha')")
print("pack() → mainloop()")

Tkinter Canvas — output: Tk() then Canvas(text='Hello Asha') then pack → mainloop. Run real Tkinter on your laptop to open the window.
