Wm

tkinter

class

The Wm mixin provides access to the window manager, allowing an application to control such things as the title, geometry and icon of a top-level window, the way it is resized, and how it responds to window manager protocols. It is mixed into Tk and Toplevel, so its methods are available on every top-level window. Each method has two equivalent spellings: a short name and a wm_-prefixed name (for example, title() and wm_title()). See also The window manager.
