Tkinter Interface Methods
Tkinter Interface Methods
The following methods are used by Tkinter's inner workings. Don't use these unless you know exactly what you are doing, and why you should do that.
getboolean
getboolean(s). Convert a string to a boolean (flag) value, using Tcl's conventions.
getdouble
getdouble(s). Convert a string to a floating point value, using Tcl's conventions. In practice, this is equivalent to float and string.atof.
getint
getint(s). Convert a string to an integer point value, using Tcl's conventions. In practice, this is equivalent to int and string.atoi.
register
register(callback). Register a Tcl to Python callback. Returns the name of a Tcl wrapper procedure. When that procedure is called from a Tcl program, it will call the corresponding Python function with the arguments given to the Tcl procedure. Values returned from the Python callback are converted to strings, and returned to the Tcl program.
winfo_atom
winfo_atom(string). Map the given to a unique integer. Everytime you call this method with the same string, the same integer will be returned.
winfo_atomname
winfo_atomname(id). Return the string corresponding to the given integer (obtained by a call to winfo_atom). If the integer isn't in use, Tkinter raises a TclError exception. Note that Tkinter predefines a bunch of integers (typically 1-80 or so). If you're curious, you can use winfo_atomname to find out what they are used for.
