Printing and Variables

• In Python, you don't have to just use a text display, you can use a GUI
• A GUI stands for a Graphical User Interface
• A GUI can be used (instead of a text display) to make programs that look professional
• Python's built-in GUI is named tkinter
• You can add images, labels, buttons and data entry boxes to develop interactive programs
• In this code, Firstly, you import the tkinter command - Secondly, you create a variable that stores the tkinter command

  
• In this code below, the name of the variable is window

  
• Running this code creates a blank window

  
• When creating a window , you should set the title of the window that appears at the top , the size of the window and the background colour

  
• Here is an example of window that has been created - What is the title of the window? (Look carefully)

  Graphical User Interface

  My Program

  
• The window.title command sets the title of the window

  
• The window.geometry command sets the size of the window in pixels

  
• In the window.geometry command , the first number is the width of the window - the second number is the height of the window
