In your application, you may want to display some essential texts for your users to read. The Tkinter message widget lets you accomplish that. This widget allows you to show brief text messages. You can indeed opt for a Tkinter label to display text rather than a Tkinter message, but the two are extremely different. In the Tkinter messages, you can edit the font of the text shown, whereas you cannot do that on the label. You may also span numerous lines of text in your message and justify your content, which is restricted by the Tkinter label.
This implies that if you'd like to show numerous textual lines with various fonts, you should opt for the Tkinter message rather than the Tkinter font.
How to create a Tkinter Message
The syntax for creating a Tkinter message to show your text is as follows:
w = message (master, option, and so on).
The master represents the parent window, while options represent the numerous choices you may use in your widget.
