Video with code for ttk and radiobuttons<\/h2>\n

With ttk<\/strong> (from the tkinter<\/strong> module) we can have a better look for our widgets<\/strong>. With some little changes in our code we can obtain this, as you will see in the lines of code below and the video that follows.<\/p>\n

import tkinter as tk\r\nimport tkinter.ttk as ttk\r\n\r\nroot = tk.Tk()\r\nvstring = tk.IntVar()\r\nvalues = [\r\n    (\"option 1\"),\r\n    (\"option 2\"),\r\n    (\"option 3\"),\r\n    (\"option 4\")\r\n]\r\n\r\nfor v in values:\r\n\t# Here is the ttk style widget\r\n    rb = ttk.Radiobutton(root,\r\n        text=v,\r\n        value= v[-1],\r\n        variable = vstring)\r\n    rb.pack(anchor=tk.W)\r\n\r\nroot. mainloop()\r\n<\/pre>\n
The result is this new look of the radiobuttons and the old look<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
# for the old style just change this (tk instead of ttk before Radiobutton)\r\n\r\nrb = tk.Radiobutton(root, text=v, value= v[-1], variable = vstring)<\/pre>\n
As you can see the ttk<\/strong> round shape of the radiobuttons looks more flat and newer than the tk<\/strong> version. The tk radiobutton, also, occupies more space among each other, as you can see by the fact that the window is taller for the tk version.<\/p>\n
