Python | Create a digital clock using Tkinter
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 use time 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() |
