Prerequisites :Introduction to tkinter | UwU text convertor
Python offers multiple options for developing a GUI (Graphical User Interface). Out of all the GUI methods, Tkinter is the most commonly used method. It is a standard Python interface to the Tk GUI toolkit shipped with Python. Python with Tkinter outputs the fastest and easiest way to create GUI applications. Now, it’s up to the imagination or necessity of a developer, what he/she wants to develop using this toolkit.
To create a Tkinter :
- Importing the module – tkinter
- Create the main window (container)
- Add any number of widgets to the main window.
- Apply the event Trigger on the widgets.
Below is what the GUI looks like:
Let’s create a GUI based uwu-text-convertor application that can convert text input given by the user into uwu text.
Below is the implementation :
Python3
# import all functions from the tkinter from tkinter import *# Function to clear both the text areasdef clearAll() : # whole content of text area is deleted text1_field.delete(1.0, END) text2_field.delete(1.0, END)# Function to convert into UwU text def convert() : # get a whole input content from text box # ignoring \n from the text box content input_text = text1_field.get("1.0", "end")[:-1] # the length of the input text length = len(input_text) # variable declaration for the output text output_text = '' # check the cases for every individual character for i in range(length): # initialize the variables current_char = input_text[i] previous_char = None # assign the value of previous_char if i > 0: previous_char = input_text[i - 1] # change 'L' and 'R' to 'W' if current_char == 'L' or current_char == 'R': output_text += 'W' # change 'l' and 'r' to 'w' elif current_char == 'l' or current_char == 'r': output_text += 'w' # if the current character is 'o' or 'O' # also check the previous character elif current_char == 'O' or current_char == 'o': if previous_char == 'N' or previous_char == 'n' or previous_char == 'M' or previous_char == 'm': output_text += "yo" else: output_text += current_char # if no case match, write it as it is else: output_text += current_char text2_field.insert('end -1 chars', output_text)# Driver code if __name__ == "__main__" : # Create a GUI window root = Tk() # Set the background colour of GUI window root.configure(background = 'light green') # Set the configuration of GUI window (WidthxHeight) root.geometry("400x350") # set the name of tkinter GUI window root.title("Converter") # Create Welcome to Morse Code Translator label headlabel = Label(root, text = 'Welcome to UwU text converter', fg = 'black', bg = "red") # Create a "Text " label label1 = Label(root, text = " Text ", fg = 'black', bg = 'dark green') # Create a "UwU Text " label label2 = Label(root, text = "UwU Text", fg = 'black', bg = 'dark green') # grid method is used for placing # the widgets at respective positions # in table like structure . headlabel.grid(row = 0, column = 1) label1.grid(row = 1, column = 0) label2.grid(row = 3, column = 0) # Create a text area box # for filling or typing the information. text1_field = Text(root, height = 5, width = 25, font = "lucida 13") text2_field = Text(root, height = 5, width = 25, font = "lucida 13") # padx keyword argument used to set padding along x-axis . # pady keyword argument used to set padding along y-axis . text1_field.grid(row = 1, column = 1, padx = 10, pady = 10) text2_field.grid(row = 3, column = 1, padx = 10, pady = 10) # Create a Convert Button and attached # with convert function button1 = Button(root, text = "Convert into UwU text", bg = "red", fg = "black", command = convert) button1.grid(row = 2, column = 1) # Create a Clear Button and attached # with clearAll function button2 = Button(root, text = "Clear", bg = "red", fg = "black", command = clearAll) button2.grid(row = 4, column = 1) # Start the GUI root.mainloop() |
Output :
