Python - Tkinter Frame
The Frame widget is very important for the process of grouping and organizing other widgets in a somehow friendly way. It works like a container, which is responsible for arranging the position of other widgets.
It uses rectangular areas in the screen to organize the layout and to provide padding of these widgets. A frame can also be used as a foundation class to implement complex widgets.
Syntax
Here is the simple syntax to create this widget −
w = Frame ( master, option, ... )
Parameters
master − This represents the parent window.
options − Here is the list of most commonly used options for this widget. These options can be used as key-value pairs separated by commas.
| Sr.No. | Option & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | bg The normal background color displayed behind the label and indicator. |
| 2 | bd The size of the border around the indicator. Default is 2 pixels. |
| 3 | cursor If you set this option to a cursor name (arrow, dot etc.), the mouse cursor will change to that pattern when it is over the checkbutton. |
| 4 | height The vertical dimension of the new frame. |
| 5 | highlightbackground Color of the focus highlight when the frame does not have focus. |
| 6 | highlightcolor Color shown in the focus highlight when the frame has the focus. |
| 7 | highlightthickness Thickness of the focus highlight. |
| 8 | relief With the default value, relief=FLAT, the checkbutton does not stand out from its background. You may set this option to any of the other styles |
| 9 | width The default width of a checkbutton is determined by the size of the displayed image or text. You can set this option to a number of characters and the checkbutton will always have room for that many characters. |
Example
Try the following example yourself −
from Tkinter import * root = Tk() frame = Frame(root) frame.pack() bottomframe = Frame(root) bottomframe.pack( side = BOTTOM ) redbutton = Button(frame, text="Red", fg="red") redbutton.pack( side = LEFT) greenbutton = Button(frame, text="Brown", fg="brown") greenbutton.pack( side = LEFT ) bluebutton = Button(frame, text="Blue", fg="blue") bluebutton.pack( side = LEFT ) blackbutton = Button(bottomframe, text="Black", fg="black") blackbutton.pack( side = BOTTOM) root.mainloop()
When the above code is executed, it produces the following result −
