Python - Tkinter Frame

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.
