# 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                                              |

widget.display = False

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