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.
SyntaxHere 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.
Bg
The normal background color displayed behind the label and indicator.
2Bd
The size of the border around the indicator. Default is 2 pixels.
3Cursor
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.
4Height
The vertical dimension of the new frame.
5highlightbackground
Color of the focus highlight when the frame does not have focus.
6Highlightcolor
Color shown in the focus highlight when the frame has the focus.
7highlightthickness
Thickness of the focus highlight.
8Relief
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.
9width
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.
ExampleTry 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()
