Window Minsize & Maxsize Tkinter

In Tkinter, you can set the minimum and maximum size of a window using the minsize() and maxsize() methods of the Tkinter window object. This allows you to control the dimensions of the window and prevent the user from resizing it below a certain size or beyond a certain size.

Here’s an example of how you can set the minimum and maximum size of a Tkinter window:

“`python
import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()

# Set the minimum size of the window to 400×300
root.minsize(400, 300)

# Set the maximum size of the window to 800×600
root.maxsize(800, 600)

root.mainloop()
“`

In this example, we create a Tkinter window object and then use the minsize() method to set the minimum size of the window to 400×300 pixels and the maxsize() method to set the maximum size to 800×600 pixels. This means that the user will not be able to resize the window to be smaller than 400×300 pixels or larger than 800×600 pixels.

By using these methods, you can control the dimensions of your Tkinter windows and ensure that they are displayed in a way that fits your design requirements.
