Here we have created 18 live, working demos,  which cover something beyond the basics of all the tkinter widgets except canvas. I know these examples are not elegant, efficient or Pythonic.  In many cases that is because we want to be clear about the process and syntax in these examples and try to use variable names that actually mean something to the process occuring.   Most feature multiple widgets and most widgets can be found in more than one example. I think canvas is the only one with a single example , but it includes all 5 or 6 objects, including a window example holding a button

The majority of these examples also begin with what we call “standard tkinter header #2”. It saves a huge amount of time not having to reinvent the wheel every time you want to creat some code to test a widget.

For your reference, here is an incomplete list of widgets and working examples where they may be found. Root, Toplevel, Button, Label and LabelFrame are just about ubiquitous.
