Label
The Label element is used to add text and images to a GUI application.
Static Text Label
A static label can be created using the text= attribute when creating a Label.
import tkinter
root = tkinter.Tk()
tkinter.Label(root, text="Hello, world!").pack()
root.mainloop()
Dynamic Text Label
A dynamic label can be created using the textvariable= attribute when creating a Label .
import tkinter
root = tkinter.Tk()
text_var = tkinter.StringVar()
text_var.set("Hello from a variable!")
tkinter.Label(root, textvariable=text_var).pack()
root.mainloop()
This value can be updated by modifying the text_var such as
text_var.set("New Label")
Image Label
A label containing an image can be created using the image= attribute when creating a Label . Note that this requires the use of the python image library pillow. ( pip install Pillow ) This can be used to display .png, .gif, .tiff, .jpg, and various other image formats
import tkinter
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
root = tkinter.Tk()
pil_image = Image.open("/path/to/image.jpg")
pil_image_resized = pil_image.resize((300, 200))
tkinter_image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(pil_image_resized)
tkinter.Label(root, image=tkinter_image).pack()
root.mainloop()
Note that the initial size of the window will be equal to the size of the image provided
