Tkinter place() Method

This geometry manager organizes widgets by placing them in a specific position in the parent widget.

Syntax

widget.place( place_options )

Here is the list of possible options −

• anchor − The exact spot of widget other options refer to: may be N, E, S, W, NE, NW, SE, or SW, compass directions indicating the corners and sides of widget; default is NW (the upper left corner of widget).

• bordermode − INSIDE (the default) to indicate that other options refer to the parent's inside (ignoring the parent's border); OUTSIDE otherwise.

• height, width − Height and width in pixels.

• relheight, relwidth − Height and width as a float between 0.0 and 1.0, as a fraction of the height and width of the parent widget.

• relx, rely − Horizontal and vertical offset as a float between 0.0 and 1.0, as a fraction of the height and width of the parent widget.

• x, y − Horizontal and vertical offset in pixels.

Example

Try the following example by moving cursor on different buttons −

from tkinter import *
top = Tk()
L1 = Label(top, text="Physics")
L1.place(x=10,y=10)
E1 = Entry(top, bd =5)
E1.place(x=60,y=10)
L2=Label(top,text="Maths")
L2.place(x=10,y=50)
E2=Entry(top,bd=5)
E2.place(x=60,y=50)

L3=Label(top,text="Total")
L3.place(x=10,y=150)
E3=Entry(top,bd=5)
E3.place(x=60,y=150)

B = Button(top, text ="Add")
B.place(x=100, y=100)
top.geometry("250x250+10+10")
top.mainloop()

When the above code is executed, it produces the following result −
