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:
Option | Description |
bg | The normal background color displayed behind the label and indicator. |
bd | The size of the border around the indicator. Default is 2 pixels. |
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. |
height | The vertical dimension of the new frame. |
highlightbackground | Color of the focus highlight when the frame does not have focus. |
highlightcolor | Color shown in the focus highlight when the frame has the focus. |
highlightthickness | Thickness of the focus highlight. |
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 |
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 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()
|
This would produce following result:
