I\'m wondering if there\'s a way to move the label text of a radiobutton to a different area, e.g. below the actual button.
Below is an example of a few radiobuttons
My thought is to try amending the ttk.RadioButton's layout elements or element's option. See http://infohost.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/tkinter/web/ttk-layouts.html.
The layout of its element seems to consist of a label, that is inside the focus, that is inside indicator, that is inside the padding (See below variable rbLayout). The Radiobutton.indicator's side option value is left. The Radiobutton.label's anchor option appears blank. I think changing either of these options may get what you want. You would also have to add the option "style=your_customed_stylename" into your ttk.Radiobutton declaration.
>>> import tkinter.ttk as ttk
>>> s = ttk.Style()
>>> rb = ttk.Radiobutton(None, text='RB1')
>>> rbClass = rb.winfo_class()
>>> rbClass
'TRadiobutton'
>>> rbLayout = s.layout('TRadiobutton')
>>> rbLayout
[('Radiobutton.padding', {'sticky': 'nswe', 'children': [('Radiobutton.indicator', {'sticky': '', 'side': 'left'}), ('Radiobutton.focus', {'children': [('Radiobutton.label', {'sticky': 'nswe'})], 'sticky': '', 'side': 'left'})]})]
>>> type(rbLayout)
Update:
Hope someone more knowledgeable can explain why the amendments to Radiobutton element's layout did not change to the required layout.
import tkinter as tk
import tkinter.ttk as ttk
root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("300x100")
s = ttk.Style()
m = s.layout('TRadiobutton')
print('TRadiobutton.Layout : Default')
print(m , "\n")
# Change to default Radiobutton.indicator elements
list(list(m[0])[1]['children'][0])[1]['side'] = 'top'
list(list(m[0])[1]['children'][0])[1]['sticky'] = 'n'
# Change to default Radiobutton.focus elements
list(list(m[0])[1]['children'][1])[1]['side']='bottom'
list(list(m[0])[1]['children'][1])[1]['sticky']='s'
print('TRadiobutton.Layout : Amended')
print(m, "\n")
frame1 = ttk.Frame(root)
frame1.grid()
rb1 = ttk.Radiobutton(frame1, text="Button 1")
rb1.grid()
root.rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
root.columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
Update 2 : SOLUTION
import tkinter as tk
import tkinter.ttk as ttk
root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("300x100")
s = ttk.Style()
s.theme_use('default')
print('TRadiobutton.Layout : Default')
print(s.layout('TRadiobutton'), "\n")
s.layout('TRadiobutton',
[('Radiobutton.padding',
{'children':
[('Radiobutton.indicator', {'side': 'top', 'sticky': ''}), # Just need to change indicator's 'side' value
('Radiobutton.focus', {'side': 'left',
'children':
[('Radiobutton.label', {'sticky': 'nswe'})],
'sticky': ''})],
'sticky': 'nswe'})])
print('TRadiobutton.Layout : Amended')
print(s.layout('TRadiobutton'), "\n")
frame1 = ttk.Frame(root)
frame1.grid()
rb1 = ttk.Radiobutton(frame1, text="Button 1")
rb1.grid()
root.rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
root.columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
A big thanks :) to j_4321 for his latest solution building on my suggested approach. I have implemented it (see above) to my previous code and it works. I like to highlight the following:
