Large Printing for example time.

[Casper2017]

Hi

Dose anyone know or point to on how to produce a extremely large font in Python that covers the whole screen, for example the displaying of time.

The idea is, so the program gives a blank screen and the time can be centered in the middle of the screen in a large font.

Thanks, appreciate any information.

This should get you started.

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/python

from Tkinter import *
import time

root = Tk()
time1 = ''

clockDisplay = Label(root, font = ('fixed',144, 'bold'))
clockDisplay.grid(row = 2, column = 5, columnspan = 2, padx = 5, pady = (2,2))

def tick():
    global time1
    time2 = time.strftime('%H:%M:%S')
    if time2 != time1:
        time1 = time2
        clockDisplay.config(text=time2)
    clockDisplay.after(200, tick)

tick()
root.mainloop()

Thank you so much for all of this, I can start programing straight away , I just needed that extra
insight.
It has made life much easier.
