What does label do in tkinter

I have some questions about the following code:

from tkinter import *

def create_window():
    new_window = Tk()
    old_window.destroy()
    Label(new_window,text='hi').pack()
old_window = Tk()

Button(old_window,text="create new window!",command=create_window).pack()

old_window.mainloop()

Why is label used here instead of just writing text= in new_window? And how does label actually work?

I searched for this topic on YouTube, but I did not find an answer to my question. They just write a label without any explanation as to why.

Solution

  • Label is a widget that implements a display box where you can place text or images. The text displayed by this widget can be updated at any time you want.

    So this line:

    Label(new_window,text='hi').pack()

    Does the following: create a text saying hi in the window called new_window, then displays it by using the .pack() method
