In this tutorial, you will learn how to set the width and height of a Label widget in Tkinter, with examples.

Examples

1. Label of 20 characters wide and 3 lines height

In this example, we shall create a Label with a width of 20 characters, and a height of 3 lines.

We have set the background color, so that we can see the whole Label widget dimensions.

Program

import tkinter as tk

# Create the main window
window = tk.Tk()
window.title("PythonExamples.org")
window.geometry("300x200")

# Create a label widget with specific font
label = tk.Label(window, text="Hello World!", width=20, height=3, bg="lightgreen")

# Pack the label widget to display it
label.pack()

# Run the application
window.mainloop()

Output

Run on a MacOS.

2. Label of 30 characters wide and 5 lines height

In this example, we shall create a Label with a width of 30 characters, and a height of 5 lines.

Program

# Pack the label widget to display it
