Installing as part of an existing Tkinter application

Top Level Window

from tkScribe import Scribe
import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Main Application")
launch_scribe_button = tk.Button(root, text="Scribe")
launch_scribe_button.pack(padx=20, pady=20, command = launch_scribe)

root.mainloop()

def launch_scribe():
    top = tk.Toplevel()
    scribe = Scribe(top)

Tkinter Frame

from tkScribe import Scribe 
import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk() 
root.title("Main Application")
scribe_window = tk.Frame(root)
scribe = Scribe(scribe_window)
scribe_window.pack()

root.mainloop()

Saving

If a tkinter root or toplevel window is provided as the parent to Scribe, saving can be achieved from the drop down menus or hotkeys.

If a tkinter Frame is provided as the parent no dropdown menus will be available. Saving can still be achieved from the hotkeys or by accessing the methods directly.

from tkScribe import Scribe 
import tkinter as tk

def save():
    scribe.save()
    
 def open()
    scribe.open()

root = tk.Tk() 
root.title("Main Application")
scribe_window = tk.Frame(root)
save_button = tk.Button(root, text="Save", command=save)
open_button = tk.Button(root, text="Open", command=open)

save_button.pack(side="left", padx=10, pady=10
open_button.pack(side="left", padx=10, pady=10
scribe_window.pack()

scribe = Scribe(scribe_window)

root.mainloop()
