How do I change the text size in a Label widget? (tkinter)

Question

In python 3.4 using Tkinter, how do I change the text size in a label widget?

So far I have tried

label_one = Label(root, text = 'Hello', size = '50')

and

label_one.config(fontsize='50')

But I am not sure where to start and I can't find anything saying how to do it.

What code do you have so far, what have you tried? – mmenschig Jun 06 '15 at 17:18 — mmenschig, Jun 06 '15 at 17:18

Try passing width=200 as additional paramater when creating the Label.

This should work in creating label with specified width.

If you want to change it later, you can use:

label.config(width=200)

As you want to change the size of font itself you can try:

label.config(font=("Courier", 44))

This changed the width of the box the label is in, not the size of the text itself. – james hughes Jun 06 '15 at 17:46
