Questions tagged [tkinter-text]

The Text widget is a generalized method for displaying multiple lines of text and embedded images and windows. It also provides ways to change both the appearance and functionality of its contents — i.e. font, size, and color. You can also make the text, widgets, or embedded images respond to keyboard or mouse actions. The appearance and functional features can be controlled by associating them tags, which may be associated with multiple pieces of text.
