Python Tkinter Frame Widget

Hello dear readers! welcome back to another section of our tutorial on Python. In this tutorial post, we are going to be discussing about the Python Tkinter Frame Widget.

The Tkinter Frame widget is very key for the process of grouping, as well as arranging other widgets in a very friendly way. It works like a container, which is responsible for organizing the position of other widgets.

It makes use of rectangular areas in the screen to organize the layout and to provide padding of these widgets. A frame widget can also be used as a foundation class for the implementation of complex widgets.

Syntax

The following below is the syntax for create this widget -

w = Frame ( master, option, ... )

Parameter Details

• master - This represents the parent window.

• options - Following below is the list of commonly used options for this widget. These options can be used as key-value pairs that are separated by commas.

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.
