Tkinter GUI Application Development Blueprints

Widgets – the building blocks of GUI programs

Now that we have our top level or the root window ready, it is time to think over a question—which components should appear in the window? In Tkinter jargon, these components are called widgets.

The syntax that is used to add a widget is as follows:
