# Display

The `display` property defines whether a widget is displayed or not.

## Syntax

```
display: [none|block];
```

### Values

| Value             | Description                                                               |
|-------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `block` (default) | Display the widget as normal                                              |
| `none`            | The widget not be displayed, and space will no longer be reserved for it. |

There is also a shortcut to show / hide a widget. The `display` property on `Widget` may be set to `True` or `False` to show or hide the widget.

```python
# Hide the widget
widget.display = False

# Show the widget
widget.display = True
```
