The tkinter Grid Geometry Manager

This video shows an alternative and more flexible way for placing widgets onto a tkinter window. It uses the grid() method that treats the window as being 'divided up' into rows and columns.

This is a very deep learning, this is the matric.

Great lecturer. Very clear, takes nothing for granted. Love the accent too!

YET AGAIN BEST F****** VIDEO ON TKINTER AND PYTHON ON THE INTERNET RIGHT NOW!!

[@itscoldhere7618]

Very helpful

Great presentation. I like it. Thank you for making this so simple to follow.

An interesting fact. You can place two widgets in the same grid cell, but the one you place later will cover the one you placed before since they use the same space. You can test that both widgets you gridded into the same cell are indeed in the cell: use different sticky values ('e' and 'w' for example) with proper configuration (the column configured to have a min size big enough) and you will see that they are there. So in theory, you could place elements like this, but it is confusing and hardly manageable. The best practice when you need to place more things in a cell is to place a frame in it and then pack/grid the widgets into that frame.

I agree Frames is the best way forward when developing more complex GUI layouts. Best wishes Phil

thankyou sir that very much this was very much helpful

For anyone interested in building GUI's for python; I found some software that helps in the building process, it's called PAGE and I installed it on windows in C:/ drive. First one needs to download Tcl and install it from www.activestate.com/activetcl/downloads and then download PAGE from sourceforge.net/projects/page/ and install it. PAGE generates python script for the GUI, which can then have it's functionality added.

Thanks. Very easy understand! Will you use led control in future with tkinter?

[@johnphilipjones]

I will put it in the pipeline and make a video on it in the coming weeks. Best wishes Phil

Hi John, can't we use grid and pack for same label

[@johnphilipjones]

Hello Karan, Do not mix grid with pack it will cause all kinds of problems. I recommend that you always use the grid method, Best wishes Phil

[@faizankhatri1089]

Sir, Why did you not use label_pack() in this? And it still worked.

[@johnphilipjones]

pack() will work but grid() is more flexible than pack() Best wishes Phil

[@faizankhatri1089]

John Philip Jones thank you

[@kangsan2014]

How would you adjust the height on a label frame? I'm having a hard time with that.

[@johnphilipjones]

A frame can contain a label. The size of the label is defined by the size of the text allocated to it. Best wishes Phil

[@legend7890]

could you make a video over columnconfigure and rowconfigure method?

[@johnphilipjones]

I will put it in the pipeline and do a video in it. Best wishes Phil

[@SusanAmberBruce]

I have the Tkinter 8.5 reference and Python and Tkinter Programing by John E. Grayson, however I am wondering if you know of any books that deal with tkinter from the point of view of useing it in Python 3.5/6.

[@johnphilipjones]

Hello Susan, I do not use textbooks just Python and tkinter documentation so cannot comment on suitable textbooks. Sorry. Best wishes Phil

[@imherovirat]

i want to know about the columnspan.Please explain it or have you already done about it, if so give me the link :)

[@johnphilipjones]

Assume you have three rows and two columns on a tkinter window. Place two buttons in the first row one in each column. Place two buttons in the second row again one in each column. Place another button in the third row and set its columnspan option to 2. This will results in a button twice as wide as the other four meaning it takes up the space of the two columns. Best wishes Phil

Why my professor does not explains like he does

[@gizemavc9462]

can you add the code on txt file i want run in my computer

[@johnphilipjones]

I intend to upload all of the code to the supporting website in the near future. The website is www.PythonByteSize.com Best wishes Phil
