15-110: Principles of Computing - Week 4

Getting Started with Graphics (Tkinter)

Online References and Tutorials

There are a great many online references and tutorials for Tkinter.  Unfortunately, many (perhaps most) are not packaged in a way that's especially useful for us (they may not use Python, they may include too many or too few details, etc).

Here is an example of a website that we found to be useful:
   NM Tech's Canvas reference (which is part of NM Tech's Tkinter Reference)

The web is a big place, so you may find other, even better tutorials!

Readings from the book

Note:  The book covers Tkinter, but in a different way (focusing on GUI's, rather than custom drawing in a Canvas).  You are not required to read anything from the book, but you might be interested in looking at Chapter 12.

Suggested exercises from the book

None.
