As we know Tkinter is used to create a variety of GUI (Graphical User Interface) applications. In this article we will learn how to create a Digital clock using Tkinter.
Prerequisites:
- Python functions
- Tkinter basics (Label Widget)
- Time module
Using Label widget from Tkinter and time module:
In the following application, we are going to use Label widget and also going to usetime module which we will use to retrieve system's time.
Below is the implementation:
# importing whole module
from tkinter import *
from tkinter.ttk import *
# importing strftime function to
# retrieve system's time
from time import strftime
# creating tkinter window
root = Tk()
root.title('Clock')
# This function is used to
# display time on the label
def time():
string = strftime('%H:%M:%S %p')
lbl.config(text=string)
lbl.after(1000, time)
# Styling the label widget so that clock
# will look more attractive
lbl = Label(root, font=('calibri', 40, 'bold'),
background='purple',
foreground='white')
# Placing clock at the centre
# of the tkinter window
lbl.pack(anchor='center')
time()
mainloop()
Output:
