I am trying to write Python 3 code using tkinter to generate volume calculations based on entered data.

Currently, my code works, but what I would like to do is have the widgets for sphere disappear when rectangular prism is selected via the radio buttons, and vice versa, so that only the pertinent items are shown.

I've found some ideas but I'm having difficulties implementing them in my current setup. If someone could help, I'd very much appreciate it.

Code:

from tkinter import *

from tkinter import messagebox

from volumes import * #basic volume calculations 

import sys



def calculate(): #assigns vars, calls volumes module



    x = option.get()

    if x == 1:

        heightx = heighttxt.get()

        widthx = widthtxt.get()

        lengthx = lengthtxt.get()



        height = float(heightx)

        width = float(widthx)

        length = float(lengthx)



        volume= rp_volume(length, width, height)



        messagebox.showinfo('You selected Rectangular Prism', volume) #displays calculation result



    if x == 2:

        radx = radtxt.get()

        radius = float(radx)

        volume = sp_volume(radius)

        messagebox.showinfo('You selected Sphere', volume) #displays calculation result





window = Tk() #creates window ident



window.title("Volume Calculator")

window.geometry('450x300')



option = IntVar()

option.set(1)



Radiobutton(window, text="Rectangular Prism", variable=option, value=1).grid(column=1, row=1)

Radiobutton(window, text="Sphere", variable=option, value=2).grid(column=2, row=1)





heightlbl = Label(window, text="Enter the height: ", padx=5, pady=5) #creates ident labels



widthlbl = Label(window, text="Enter the width: ", padx=5, pady=5)



lengthlbl = Label(window, text="Enter the length: ", padx=5, pady=5)



radlbl = Label(window, text ="Or enter the radius of a sphere: ", padx=5, pady=5)





heighttxt = Entry(window,width=10) #creates entry boxes



widthtxt = Entry(window,width=10)



lengthtxt = Entry(window,width=10)



radtxt = Entry(window, width=10)





calcbtn = Button(window, text="Calculate the volume", command=calculate, padx=5, pady=5) #hey it's a button that calls the calculate function!



quitbtn = Button(window, text="Quit", command=window.destroy) #quit button does what it says on the tin





heightlbl.grid(column=1, row=3) #assigns grid positions (preferred to pack for precise layout)

widthlbl.grid(column=1, row=4)

lengthlbl.grid(column=1, row=5)

radlbl.grid(column=1, row=6)

heighttxt.grid(column=2, row=3)

widthtxt.grid(column=2, row=4)

lengthtxt.grid(column=2, row=5)

radtxt.grid(column=2, row=6)

calcbtn.grid(column=2, row=7)

quitbtn.grid(column=2, row=8)







window.mainloop() #closes window mainloop

To achieve that, you can put the required widgets for the rectangular_prism and the sphere in different frames and add a command parameter to the radio buttons which when selected will show the corresponding the frame and grid_forget the other. Here is the code. (Note that, I don't know anything about this volumes module, so you change that accordingly)

from tkinter import *

from tkinter import messagebox



def calculate(): #assigns vars, calls volumes module

    x = option.get()

    if x == 1:

        heightx = heighttxt.get()

        widthx = widthtxt.get()

        lengthx = lengthtxt.get()



        height = float(heightx)

        width = float(widthx)

        length = float(lengthx)



        volume = length*width*height



        messagebox.showinfo('You selected Rectangular Prism', volume) #displays calculation result



    if x == 2:

        radx = radtxt.get()

        radius = float(radx)

        volume = 4/3*3.14*radius**3

        messagebox.showinfo('You selected Sphere', volume) #displays calculation result



def recprism():

    sphere_frame.grid_forget()

    rec_frame.grid(row=1, column=0)



def sphere():

    rec_frame.grid_forget()

    sphere_frame.grid(row=1, column=0)



window = Tk() #creates window ident



window.title("Volume Calculator")

window.geometry('450x300')



option = IntVar()



Radiobutton(window, text="Rectangular Prism", variable=option, value=1, command=recprism).grid(column=0, row=0)

Radiobutton(window, text="Sphere", variable=option, value=2, command=sphere).grid(column=1, row=0)



rec_frame = Frame(window)

sphere_frame = Frame(window)



heightlbl = Label(rec_frame, text="Enter the height: ", padx=5, pady=5) #creates ident labels

widthlbl = Label(rec_frame, text="Enter the width: ", padx=5, pady=5)

lengthlbl = Label(rec_frame, text="Enter the length: ", padx=5, pady=5)



radlbl = Label(sphere_frame, text ="Enter the radius of a sphere: ", padx=5, pady=5)



heighttxt = Entry(rec_frame, width=10) #creates entry boxes

widthtxt = Entry(rec_frame, width=10)

lengthtxt = Entry(rec_frame, width=10)



radtxt = Entry(sphere_frame, width=10)



calcbtn = Button(window, text="Calculate the volume", command=calculate, padx=5, pady=5) #hey it's a button that calls the calculate function!

quitbtn = Button(window, text="Quit", command=window.destroy) #quit button does what it says on the tin





heightlbl.grid(column=0, row=0) #assigns grid positions (preferred to pack for precise layout)

widthlbl.grid(column=0, row=1)

lengthlbl.grid(column=0, row=2)

radlbl.grid(column=0, row=0)

heighttxt.grid(column=1, row=0)

widthtxt.grid(column=1, row=1)

lengthtxt.grid(column=1, row=2)

radtxt.grid(column=1, row=0)



calcbtn.grid(column=1, row=1)

quitbtn.grid(column=1, row=2)



window.mainloop()
