This is a tkinter module related problem
like in my code there is a variable named optButton1 I have made it and used this code sample-
Button(bottomFrame, text=firstOption[0], font=("arial", 18, "bold"), bg="black", fg="white", bd="0", activebackground="black", activeforeground="white", cursor="hand2")
In the text property I have inserted a variable named firstOption's first index and some other properties.(the value of firstOption[0] is "Crab" which is small word and gets fit in the button of firstOption)
When I run the code there is GUI in which that button appears if I click it will change the option's value or should I say simply that the optButton1's text value changes to firstOption[1] which is :
optButton1.config(text=firstOption[1])
The value of text=firstOption[1] is "Doctor of Principal" so it is too long for my button size but the problem is that I don't want to change the size of that button so it just doesn't fit and whole text is not visible on the button.
I tried to use the property wrap="word" in the optButton1 which is:
optButton1 = Button(bottomFrame, text=firstOption[0], wrap="word",font=("arial", 18, "bold"), bg="black", fg="white", bd="0", activebackground="black", activeforeground="white", cursor="hand2")
if I run the above line of code then it throws an error!

At the risk of answering a poorly asked question, here's a possible solution that uses the built-in textwrap module
NOTE: I've had to take some liberties here since no real example was provided - you'll need to adapt this to your code
"""Basic example app showing button text wrapping via `textwrap`"""
import tkinter as tk
from textwrap import wrap
root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry('400x400')
optButton1 = tk.Button(
root,
text='Doctor of Principal',
font=('Arial', 18, 'bold'),
)
# get the text from the button widget
btn_text = optButton1.cget('text')
# set the desired wrap length (in characters)
max_len = 10
if len(btn_text) >= max_len:
# wrap the text if it's longer than the maximum desired length
btn_text = '\n'.join(wrap(btn_text, max_len))
optButton1.config(text=btn_text)
optButton1.pack()
if __name__ == '__main__':
root.mainloop()
You could put the text wrapping code into a function like so
def wrap_btn_text(event):
btn = event.widget
btn_text = btn.cget('text')
max_len = 10
if len(btn_text) >= max_len:
# wrap the text if it's longer than the maximum desired length
btn_text = '\n'.join(wrap(btn_text, max_len))
btn.config(text=btn_text)
And then bind it to the button's '<Configure>' to wrap the text as-needed whenever the button is modified
optButton1.bind('<Configure>', wrap_btn_text)
Here's the whole thing together:
import tkinter as tk
from textwrap import wrap
def wrap_btn_text(event):
btn = event.widget
btn_text = btn.cget('text')
max_len = 10
if len(btn_text) >= max_len:
# wrap the text if it's longer than the maximum desired length
btn_text = '\n'.join(wrap(btn_text, max_len))
btn.config(text=btn_text)
root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry('400x400')
optButton1 = tk.Button(
root,
text='Doctor of Principal',
font=('Arial', 18, 'bold'),
)
optButton1.pack()
optButton1.bind('<Configure>', wrap_btn_text)
# here's an example of an update that will trigger the text wrap callback
optButton1.config(text='Especially Long Button Text')
# the callback will also trigger if you set the text from a `textvariable`
if __name__ == '__main__':
root.mainloop()
