Can I create random x and y coordinates for a button - Tkinter Python

Question

import tkinter as tk 
import random

root = tk.Tk() 

canvas = tk.Canvas(root, height=600, width=700, bg="#4f75b3")
canvas.pack()

frame = tk.Frame(root, bg="#66bd5e")
frame.place(relx=0.075, rely=0.075, relheight=0.85, relwidth=0.85,)

def destroymole():
    mole.destroy()

mole = tk.Button(root,text="MOLE", relief="raised", command=destroymole, x=random.randint(300,700), y=random.randint(300, 700), height=20, width=30)

root.mainloop()

After running this I get this error

Traceback (most recent call last):   File
"C:Users\PycharmProjectspythonProjectGUI APP.py", line 15, in
<module>
    mole = tk.Button(root, text="MOLE",relief="raised", command=destroymole, x=random.randint(300,700),y=random.randint(300,
700), height=20, width=30)   File

line 2647, in __init__
    Widget.__init__(self, master, 'button', cnf, kw)   File "C:Users\AppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython39libkinter\__init__.py",
line 2569, in __init__
    self.tk.call(
_tkinter.TclError: unknown option "-x"

However, the main one is the last line and I'm pretty sure it is to do with the random number

If there are any other apparent issues then please tell me because this is all a mystery to me.

Answer 1

You have not placed the button. Hope, you know that there are three ways by which you can set up the widget in the window (place, pack, grid). I have used the place method and passed the random value in the parameter.

import tkinter as tk 
import random

root = tk.Tk() 

canvas = tk.Canvas(root, height=600, width=700, bg="#4f75b3")
canvas.pack()

frame = tk.Frame(root, bg="#66bd5e")
frame.place(relx=0.075, rely=0.075, relheight=0.85, relwidth=0.85,)

def destroymole():
    mole.destroy()

mole = tk.Button(root,text="MOLE", relief="raised", command=destroymole)
mole.place(x=random.randint(300,700), y=random.randint(300, 700), height=20, width=30)

root.mainloop()

Rest for any query feel free to ask me.
