How to close a tkinter canvas?

Question

Here is part of my code:

import tkinter

class Program:
    def __init__(self):
        self.canvas = tkinter.Canvas(1000, 500, bg="yellow")
        self.canvas.pack()

Which command should I use in order to close tkinter window (canvas)?

But is the canvas even shown with that code? – Valentino May 11 '19 at 15:10 — Valentino, May 11 '19 at 15:10

Just use:

self.canvas.destroy()

Or if you actually want to close the whole window and not just remove the Canvas:

self.root.destroy()

And what should I add to self.root then? – bartolomo May 11 '19 at 15:24
@bartolomo What you mean by that? – ruohola May 11 '19 at 15:24
In def __init__(self): self.root = ? – bartolomo May 11 '19 at 15:26
your init should be `def __init__(self, root): ...` And then to run it you use: `root = tk.Tk(); program = Program(root); root.mainloop()` – ruohola May 11 '19 at 15:31
@bartolomo See this https://stackoverflow.com/a/17466968/9835872 for a clean object oriented tkinter demo. – ruohola May 11 '19 at 15:32
When I do that this appears: 'Program' object has no attribute 'root'. Shouldn´t I really add something to self.root? – bartolomo May 11 '19 at 15:38
You should have at least: `self.root = root` in your `__init__` – ruohola May 11 '19 at 15:39
I really advice you to go read or watch some tkinter tutorials before posting more questions this basic. – ruohola May 11 '19 at 15:40
