Last Updated : 07 Jan, 2022

Prerequisites : Introduction to tkinter | Sentiment Analysis using Vader

Python offers multiple options for developing a GUI (Graphical User Interface). Out of all the GUI methods, Tkinter is the most commonly used method. Python with Tkinter outputs the fastest and easiest way to create GUI applications. In this article, we will learn how to create a Sentiment Detector GUI application using Tkinter, with a step-by-step guide.

To create a tkinter :

Importing the module – tkinter
Create the main window (container)
Add any number of widgets to the main window.
Apply the event Trigger on the widgets.

The GUI would look like below:

Let’s create a GUI based Sentiment Detector application that can show the sentiments with respect to the given sentences, given by the user.

Below is the implementation :

Python3

# import SentimentIntensityAnalyzer class 
# from vaderSentiment.vaderSentiment module. 
from vaderSentiment.vaderSentiment import SentimentIntensityAnalyzer 

# import all methods and classes from the tkinter 
from tkinter import *

# Function for clearing the   
# contents of all entry boxes
# And text area.
def clearAll() : 
  
    # deleting the content from the entry box 
    negativeField.delete(0, END) 
    neutralField.delete(0, END) 
    positiveField.delete(0, END) 
    overallField.delete(0, END) 

    # whole content of text area  is deleted 
    textArea.delete(1.0, END)
    
# function to print sentiments 
# of the sentence. 
def detect_sentiment():

    # get a whole input content from text box
    sentence = textArea.get("1.0", "end")

    # Create a SentimentIntensityAnalyzer object. 
    sid_obj = SentimentIntensityAnalyzer() 

    # polarity_scores method of SentimentIntensityAnalyzer 
    # object gives a sentiment dictionary. 
    # which contains pos, neg, neu, and compound scores. 
    sentiment_dict = sid_obj.polarity_scores(sentence) 

    string = str(sentiment_dict['neg']*100) + "% Negative"
    negativeField.insert(10, string)
    

    string = str(sentiment_dict['neu']*100) + "% Neutral"
    neutralField.insert(10, string)

    string = str(sentiment_dict['pos']*100) +"% Positive"
    positiveField.insert(10, string)
    
    # decide sentiment as positive, negative and neutral 
    if sentiment_dict['compound'] >= 0.05 :
        string = "Positive"

    elif sentiment_dict['compound'] <= - 0.05 :
        string = "Negative"
     

    else :
        string = "Neutral"

    overallField.insert(10, string)
