How to specify where a Tkinter window opens?

Question

How can I tell a Tkinter window where to open, based on screen dimensions? I would like it to open in the middle.

Answer 1

Try this

import tkinter as tk


def center_window(width=300, height=200):
    # get screen width and height
    screen_width = root.winfo_screenwidth()
    screen_height = root.winfo_screenheight()

    # calculate position x and y coordinates
    x = (screen_width/2) - (width/2)
    y = (screen_height/2) - (height/2)
    root.geometry('%dx%d+%d+%d' % (width, height, x, y))


root = tk.Tk()
center_window(500, 400)
root.mainloop()
