Tkinter - How can I extend a label widget? - TurboC - Oct-06-2020
maybe it's a simple question, but I can't find a solition.
below an image. by default a label widget has 3 blank pixels placed on each side for the padding. my question is, how can I extend this padding just on the right size?

keep in mind that the label can change its context (just the text), so this padding, for example 5 pixel, must be the same for each kind of label.

Try using padx, pady options when creating a label:
label = tk.Label(canvas,text="text here",padx = 10 , pady = 10 )
