How to make resizable widgets in tkinter

This is a script to make resizable buttons in tkinter for a ‘responsible‘ app, i.e. a GUI that adapts to the resizable window madewith python and tkinter. It is very easy:

import tkinter as tk


class Root:
	def __init__(self):
		self.root = tk.Tk()
		self.widgets()

	def widgets(self):
		button1 = tk.Button(self.root, text ="Hello", fg="blue", bg="gold")
		button1.place(anchor=tk.E, relheight=0.25, relwidth=0.25, relx=0.4, rely = 0.5)
		
		button2 = tk.Button(self.root,text="World", bg="pink", fg = "green")
		button2.place(anchor=tk.W, relheight=0.25, relwidth=0.25, relx=0.6, rely= 0.5)


def main():
	app = Root()
	app.root.mainloop()

main()

A little of abstraction…

import tkinter as tk


class Root:
	def __init__(self):
		self.root = tk.Tk()
		self.widgets()

	def button_resizable(self, text, fg, bg, pos="est", relx=None):
		''' to create a resizable buttons '''
		# es: self.button1 = self.button_resizable(text="Hello", fg="blue", bg="gold", pos="est")
		
		button1 = tk.Button(self.root, text =text, fg=fg, bg=bg)
		if pos=="est":
			pos = tk.E
			if relx == None:
				relx=0.4 # from 0 to 1
		elif pos=="west":
			pos = tk.W
			if relx == None:
				relx=0.6
		button1.place(anchor=pos,
			relheight=0.25, relwidth=0.25, relx=relx, rely = 0.5)


	def widgets(self):
		''' widgets '''
		self.button1 = self.button_resizable(text="Hello", fg="blue", bg="gold", pos="est")
		self.button2 = self.button_resizable(text="World", fg="blue", bg="cyan", pos="west")


def main():
	app = Root()
	app.root.mainloop()


main()
