DigitalClock
Digital Clock with Tkinter
A digital clock using python and the Tkinter library.
Code
A Clock class is created, with two instance method, one for setting purposes (in this case to set the name of the clock), and the widgets method, which holds the actual business logic. This method uses a nested method that is responsible for setting the current time and start counting from it.
The Clock will have a random color.
Sample clock:
Source Code: clock.py
# import GUI library - Tkinter
import tkinter as tk
import time
import random
class Clock:
colors = ['red', 'blue', 'green', 'black', 'orange', 'purple', 'brown', 'yellow', 'pink']
def __init__(self):
# instance of Tkinter window
self.master = tk.Tk()
self.color = random.choice(Clock.colors)
def settings(self):
# Label the window to "My Clock"
self.master.title('My Clock')
def widgets(self):
# Time calculation
def count_time(time1=''):
time2 = time.strftime('%H:%M:%S')
if time2 != time1:
time1 = time2
clock.config(text=time2)
clock.after(200, count_time)
# Create the clock text
clock = tk.Label(self.master, font=('Poppins', 50, 'bold'), background=self.color, foreground='white')
clock.pack(anchor='center')
# Clock loop
count_time()
tk.mainloop()
if __name__ == '__main__':
my_clock = Clock()
my_clock.settings()
my_clock.widgets()
