I have a problem: I want to make a honeycomb shape in which every hexagon is a clickable button, but don't know how.

I tried to make it by Button() and window() from Tkinter, but its shape is rectangluar. I need its shape to be hexagonal.

EDIT: I added a picture, just want each of these hexagons to be separate clickable button. Is it doable?

I could add that I am learning programming on my own and I don't know much, but I searched a lot and one and only thing that I found was creating rectangular button. :/

Honeycomb pattern

Well ,there is no direct method in tkinter to create shaped buttons other than the usual rectangle one, but you can do it by playing with colors and images.

  • Crop an image in the shape and color, in which you wish your button to be.
  • Then use the Button widget, to create the button having that particular image

For example:

from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
image_button = PhotoImage(root, file="hexagonal_button.png")
button_hex = Button(root, bg='white',border='0', image=image_button)
button_hex.pack()
root.mainloop()

  • Or else, you may try other GUI toolkits such as:

  • wxPython

  • PyQt

  • Kivy and many more ...
