Overview of this book

Tkinter is the built-in GUI package that comes with standard Python distributions. It is a cross-platform package, which means you build once and deploy everywhere. It is simple to use and intuitive in nature, making it suitable for programmers and non-programmers alike. This book will help you master the art of GUI programming. It delivers the bigger picture of GUI programming by building real-world, productive, and fun applications such as a text editor, drum machine, game of chess, audio player, drawing application, piano tutor, chat application, screen saver, port scanner, and much more. In every project, you will build on the skills acquired in the previous project and gain more expertise. You will learn to write multithreaded programs, network programs, database-driven programs, asyncio based programming and more. You will also get to know the modern best practices involved in writing GUI apps. With its rich source of sample code, you can build upon the knowledge gained with this book and use it in your own projects in the discipline of your choice.

  • Bar graph (8.03_bar_graph.py)
  • Scatter plot (8.04_scatter_plot.py)

The three graphs show up as follows:

Let's look at the pie chart first. You can easily create a pie chart in Tkinter using the Canvas widget's create_arc method.

The create_arc method has the following signature:

item_id = canvas.create_arc(x1, y1, x2, y2, option, ...)

Point (x1, y1) is the top-left corner and point (x2, y2) is the bottom-right corner of the rectangle into which the arc fits. If the bounding rectangle is a square, it makes a circle. The method also takes two arguments, named start and extent, which we will use to create the pie chart.

The start option...
