I'm learning Tkinter at the moment. From my book, I get the following code for producing a simple vertical scrollbar:
from tkinter import * # Import tkinter class ScrollText: def __init__(self): window = Tk() # Create a window window.title("Scroll Text Demo") # Set title frame1 = Frame(window) frame1.pack() scrollbar = Scrollbar(frame1) scrollbar.pack(side = RIGHT, fill = Y) text = Text(frame1, width = 40, height = 10, wrap = WORD, yscrollcommand = scrollbar.set) text.pack() scrollbar.config(command = text.yview) window.mainloop() # Create an event loop ScrollText() # Create GUI which produces the following nice output: enter image description here
However, when I then try to change this code in the obvious way to get a horizontal scrollbar, it's producing a weird output. Here's the code I'm using
from tkinter import * # Import tkinter class ScrollText: def __init__(self): window = Tk() # Create a window window.title("Scroll Text Demo") # Set title frame1 = Frame(window) frame1.pack() scrollbar = Scrollbar(frame1) scrollbar.pack(side = BOTTOM, fill = X) text = Text(frame1, width = 40, height = 10, wrap = WORD, xscrollcommand = scrollbar.set) text.pack() scrollbar.config(command = text.xview) window.mainloop() # Create an event loop ScrollText() # Create GUI and here's what I get when I run this: enter image description here
