Rotatory dial-knob widgets for Tkinter.
Project description
TkDial
This is a library containing some circular rotatory dial-knob widgets for Tkinter. It can be used in place of normal sliders and scale.
Installation
pip install tkdial
Dial Widget
Usage
Simple Example:
import tkinter as tk
from tkdial import Dial
app = tk.Tk()
dial = Dial(app)
dial.grid(padx=10, pady=10)
app.mainloop()
Example 2
import tkinter as tk
from tkdial import Dial
app = tk.Tk()
# some color combinations
color_combinations = [("yellow", "red"), ("white", "cyan"), ("red", "pink"), ("black", "green"),
("white", "black"), ("blue", "blue"), ("green", "green"), ("white", "pink"),
("red", "black"), ("green", "cyan"), ("cyan","black"), ("pink", "blue")]
for i in range (12):
dial = Dial(master=app, color_gradient=color_combinations[i],
unit_length=10, radius=40, needle_color=color_combinations[i][1])
if i<6:
dial.grid(row=1, padx=10, pady=10, column=i)
else:
dial.grid(row=2, padx=10, pady=10, column=11-i)
app.mainloop()
