I am trying to make a GUI in Tkinter and am wondering how to refresh a window, namely if I fill in a rectangle, I want the GUI to delete it a specified time later. How would I go about doing this? Documentation on Tkinter seems to be thin...

Each Tkinter widget has a after method, which you can use to call your rectangle delete function e.g. in the example below first I change a msg using after, and then destruct the window using after

from Tkinter import * def changeMsg(): label.configure(text="I will self destruct in 2 secs") label.after(2000, root.destroy) root = Tk() mainContainer = Frame(root) label = Label(mainContainer, text="") label.configure(text="msg will change in 3 secs") label.pack(side=LEFT, ipadx=5, ipady=5) mainContainer.pack() label.after(3000, changeMsg) root.title("Timed event") root.mainloop()
