Detailed Description

Radiobutton widget which shows only one of several buttons in on-state.

If you want a group of mutually exclusive radiobuttons you must associate to them (in the constructor or by the set_variable() method) the same Variable object (only StringVar and IntVar are admitted), setting a different value for every button, so you can know which button is pressed by the variable get() method (so the radiobutton has no get_value() method).

Common options (see Widgets properties)

 abcolor, afcolor, anchor, bcolor, borderwidth, command, cursor,
 dfcolor, font, fcolor, hbcolor, hborder, hfcolor, justify, relief,
 scolor, state, takefocus, text, textvariable, wraplength

Less common options

 bitmap, image, indicatoron, padx, pady, selectimage,
 underline, value, variable

see anzeljg reference for the class tkinter.Radiobutton

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

__init__()

def __init__	(		self,
			parent,
			x,
			y,
			w,
			h,
			pad = 0,
			content = None,
			variable = None,
			command = None
	)

The constructor.

You can specify here the label of the button, a Variable object which will be updated at state change and a callback to associate to status change.

Parameters

parent	the widget parent
x,y,w,h,pad	see Placing the widgets
content	the button label; here you can specify a string a StringVar (which automatically updates the button label when changed) a tkinter.BitmapImage or tkinter.PhotoImage objects
variable	the Variable object whose value is associated with the button state; you should specify a duple (variable, value): the variable (an IntVar o StringVar shared with other radiobuttons of the same mutually exclusive group) and its value when the button is on (different for every button of the group). If you don't give here this parameters you can set it later with the set_variable() method (otherwise the button won't be mutually exclusive with others).
command	see Events and callbacks

Reimplemented from Widget.

Member Function Documentation

set_variable()

def set_variable	(		self,
			variable = None,
			value = None
	)

Sets the associated tkinter.Variable object and its value when the button is on.

Only the given values are changed. You should do this in the constructor so you need this only if you want to change them later.
