How To Animate Widgets - Python Tkinter GUI Tutorial #164

In this video I'll show you how to Animate Widgets with Tkinter and Python.

Tkinter doesn't come with a built in animation function, instead we're going to have to hack together a solution using the .after() function and a series of counters and .config() functions.

We can also move the position of a widget by using the .pack_configure() or .grid_configure() functions.

Tkinter canvas allows you to move things fairly easily, but for regular widgets; this method gets the job done!

I love that I'm forced to watch 3 minutes of unskippable ads to watch this video. Very engaging. EDIT after watching for a bit: Great content, love the cadence.

Good, very good. Im very happy to use it ;)

[mypegionworld]

I will surely use this on my next project.

I just found your channel and this helps me alot in exploring Python more.

[jenilchudgar]

Great Video! Love from India!!! Can you give me a heart? 😀

[DewasSquid]

thank you ! that's exactly what i was looking for

[markm]

Thank you! I am learning to code in python by building a yahtzee game. I just used this trick to flash through a bunch of dice pictures when the roll button is clicked so it looks like the dice are rolling.

How is it that everytime I have a "can I do what I'm thinking right now?" You have an entire video dedicated to my exact question? Your channel is amazing.

[ramehharmouch]

please, can you do a video on three screens? for example the widgets on maximized appear in a different way of the half of the screen and on the small screens

[markm]

is it possible to configure a widget if you used place instead of pack? i tried using place_config instead of pack_config like you used in the video but it didn't work :/

[halflight]

Hey thanks for the video but, im not able to do it with an image in canvas.

[محمودعبدالرحمن-قه]

how can i make a entry and while it is clear it set 'enter name' and if someone types anything in it it will set what he typed, like websites ??

[laurentreynaud]

Thank you so much !
The button has a command to change the font: but is it possible to add another command to this button (threading?)?

[snp]

Could you use .place() in the command function to iteratively move the button as well?

[omolarasilverstone]

your video has really helped me a lot in python, is there any certification exam for it to get a job or you just have to know it alone

[adarshraj]

Your video are aswemo watching your tkinter playlist but how did you make title bar dark??

[anuragrawat]

Can you please do a video on fetching bulk images (BLOB) from the SQLite database and displaying them on the GUI window?

[AnandKumar-bjux]

I'm a noob, but isn't this a little more useful ...? (I hate globals as I come from a time when memory management and non-local/static were frowned up)

Fewer functions (if you omit my main()) and the easy ability to call another ''real command on the button (I didn't worry about moving around the button .. you can whack that in ...)


def main():
animateButtton

def animateButtton():
root = Tk()
root.geometry('400x300')
passedVal = ''
btn = Button(root, text='Click Me', font=('Helvetica', 24), command = lambda : animate(btn, 'Inside the Real Command'))
btn.pack(pady=50)
root.mainloop

def animate(btn, passedVal):
size = 24
for count in range(1, 10):
size += 2
btn.configure(font=('Helvetica', size))
btn.update()
time.sleep(.025)

for count in range(10, 1, -1):
size -= 2
btn.configure(font=('Helvetica', size))
btn.update()
time.sleep(.025)

x = doRealFunction(passedVal)



def doRealFunction(val):
frmMain = Toplevel()
frmMain.geometry('300x100')

Label(frmMain, text = 'Real function - > incoming parm :\n' + val).pack(pady=20)
frmMain.mainloop()

if __name__ == __main__:
main()
