Example 1: Creating a horizontal bar
Python3 1==# Python program to demonstrate# scale widgetfromtkinterimport*root=Tk()root.geometry("400x300")v1=DoubleVar()defshow1():sel="Horizontal Scale Value = "+str(v1.get())l1.config(text=sel,font=("Courier",14))s1=Scale(root,variable=v1,from_=1,to=100,orient=HORIZONTAL)l3=Label(root,text="Horizontal Scaler")b1=Button(root,text="Display Horizontal",command=show1,bg="yellow")l1=Label(root)s1.pack(anchor=CENTER)l3.pack()b1.pack(anchor=CENTER)l1.pack()root.mainloop()
Example 2:Creating a vertical slider
Python3 1==fromtkinterimport*root=Tk()root.geometry("400x300")v2=DoubleVar()defshow2():sel="Vertical Scale Value = "+str(v2.get())l2.config(text=sel,font=("Courier",14))s2=Scale(root,variable=v2,from_=50,to=1,orient=VERTICAL)l4=Label(root,text="Vertical Scaler")b2=Button(root,text="Display Vertical",command=show2,bg="purple",fg="white")l2=Label(root)s2.pack(anchor=CENTER)l4.pack()b2.pack()l2.pack()root.mainloop()
