Toplevel widgets work as windows that are directly managed by the window manager. They do not necessarily have a parent widget on top of them.
Your application can use any number of top-level windows.
SyntaxHere is the simple syntax to create this widget −
w = Toplevel ( option, ... )Parameters
options − Here is the list of most commonly used options for this widget. These options can be used as key-value pairs separated by commas.
bg
The background color of the window.
2bd
Border width in pixels; default is 0
3cursor
The cursor that appears when the mouse is in this window.
4class_
Normally, text selected within a text widget is exported to be the selection in the window manager. Set exportselection=0 if you don't want that behavior.
5font
The default font for text inserted into the widget.
6fg
The color used for text (and bitmaps) within the widget. You can change the color for tagged regions; this option is just the default.
7height

Normally, a top-level window will have no 3-d borders around it. To get a shaded border, set the bd option larger that its default value of zero, and set the relief option to one of the constants.
9width
The desired width of the window.
