I have a problem with a Combobox.
I want a Label to appear when a specific value is selected in the Combobox.

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
import turtle
from math import cos,sin,tan,pi
from threading import Event

root = Tk()
root.title("Mi app")
stop = Event()

def clear():
  pen.clear()

def graph ():

  chosen = box.get()
  # reset stop event, if it was already set
  stop.clear()
  pen.penup()
  angle = 0
  theta = 0.01
  steps = int ((100*pi/theta))
  a = 1
  b = 1
  for t in range(0,steps):
    if stop.is_set():
      break
    if chosen == "small":
      b = 2
    if chosen == "big":
      b = 3
    angle+=theta
    x=(cos(a*angle))*200
    y=(sin(b*angle))*200
 
    pen.goto(x,y)
    pen.pendown()

canvas=turtle.Canvas(master=root, width=650, height=650)
canvas.grid(row=0, column=0,columnspan=1, rowspan=20,padx=5,pady=5)

pen=turtle.RawTurtle(canvas)
pen.width(3)

choose_label=Label(root, text="Choose what you want to draw:")
choose_label.grid(column=1, row=1, columnspan=3, padx=5)
box = ttk.Combobox (root, values = ["small",
                                    "big",])
box.grid(column = 1, columnspan=3, row = 2)
box.current()

graph_button=Button(root, text="Graph", command=graph)
graph_button.grid(row=3,column=1,padx=5,pady=5)

stop_button=Button(root, text="Stop", command=stop.set)
stop_button.grid(row=3,column=2,padx=5,pady=5)

clear_button=Button(root, text="Clear", command=clear)
clear_button.grid(row=3,column=3,padx=5,pady=5)

if box.get() == "small":
  chosen_label = Label(root, text="You choose 'small'")
  chosen_label.grid(column = 1, row = 4)
if box.get() == "big":
  chosen_label = Label(root, text="You choose 'big'")
  chosen_label.grid(column = 1, row = 4)

root.mainloop()
How can I make a Label or any Widget appear when a specific value is selected in a Combobox?
This is what I have tried, but it didn't work.

if box.get() == "small":
  chosen_label = Label(root, text="You choose 'small'")
  chosen_label.grid(column = 1, row = 4)
if box.get() == "big":
  chosen_label = Label(root, text="You choose 'big'")
  chosen_label.grid(column = 1, row = 4)
The place where you set the label text is wrong. This is a good place to create the label, but you want to set the label text in your graph() function.

The reason you do not see any label is at the time the label code is executed, box.get() is not "big" or "small".
