tkinter-extensions

Some tkinter extensions that allow you to build GUI apps with modern UI/UX design concepts.

Examples

Spreadsheet

import ttkbootstrap as ttk
import tkinter_extensions as te


root = ttk.Window(title='Book (Root)',
                  themename='morph',
                  position=(100, 100),
                  size=(800, 500))


book = te.widgets.Book(root, bootstyle_scrollbar='round-light')
book.pack(fill='both', expand=1)

book.insert_sheet(1, name='index = 1')
book.insert_sheet(0, name='index = 0')
book.insert_sheet(1, name='index = 1')
book.insert_sheet(-1, name='index = -1')

book.after(3000, lambda: root.style.theme_use('minty'))
book.after(5000, lambda: root.style.theme_use('cyborg'))

root.mainloop()

Drag and Drop

import random
import ttkbootstrap as ttk
import tkinter_extensions as te


root = ttk.Window(title='Drag and Drop', themename='cyborg')

container = te.widgets.OrderlyContainer(root)
container.pack(fill='both', expand=1)
buttons = list()
for r in range(6):
    buttons.append(list())
    for c in range(3):
        dash = '----' * random.randint(1, 5)
        button = ttk.Button(container,
                            text=f'|<{dash} ({r}, {c}) {dash}>|',
                            takefocus=True,
                            bootstyle='outline')
        buttons[-1].append(button)
container.dnd_put(buttons,
                  sticky='nse',

line, = ax.plot(t, x, label='f = 1 Hz')
ax.set_xlabel("time [s]")
ax.set_ylabel("f(t)")
ax.legend(loc='upper right')
