Now, to get the actual coordinates of the widget, we can use the geometry methods available in the tkinter’s library. Let us suppose that we have created a text label widget which is having some position in the tkinter frame.

Widget and its coordinates on the tkinter frame using other functions and libraries. Including buttons, text boxes and labels.

For building GUI applications it provides some widgets It has many toolkits andįunctions or modules available which can be used to define the different attributes Tkinter is widely used to create GUI based applications.
