Python - Tkinter Frame

The Frame widget is used to group and organize other widgets in a container. It arranges the position of child widgets and provides padding. A frame can implement complex widgets by acting as a foundation class. The syntax creates a frame widget by passing the parent window and options like background color, border size, height, width, and relief style to the Frame constructor. The example code packs different colored buttons into frames to demonstrate organizing widgets.

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()
