It maximizes the window after passing the “zoomed” state value to it.Example#Import the required libraries from tkinter import * #Create an instance of tkinter frame win= Tk() #Set the geometry of frame win.geometry("600x400") #Create a text label Label(win, text="It takes only 21 days to create a new Habit", font=('Times New Roman ...

Tkinter destroy() method is mainly used to kill and terminate the interpreter running in the background.However, quit() method can be invoked in order to stop the process after the mainloop() function. We can demonstrate the functionalities of both methods by creating a button Object.Example#Import the required libraries from tkinter import * #Create an instance of tkinter frame win= Tk() #Set the geometry of frame win.geometry("650x450") #Define a function for Button Object def quit_win(): ...
