    copied!<p><strong>My Complaint</strong></p> <p>I am currently delving deeper than "ever" before into the Tkinter GUI, and I have found the <code>.grid()</code> geometry manager to be inadequate for several reasons:</p> <ol> <li><p>The plots are based on the largest widget within them - this relativity leads to inaccuracy.</p></li> <li><p>In Windows 7, on Python 2.7.3, the program does not seem to heed my row numbers, instead preferring to use the order of the widgets.</p></li> </ol> <p><strong>My Code</strong></p> <p>I am currently working on a <em>really</em> basic text editor, and I want to have multiple buttons on the top of the frame. I have been unable to do this as my widgets are placed either to the far left or right of the massive textbox that dominates the center of the screen.</p> <pre><code>========Class __init__ Stuff============ def widget(self):#Place widgets here #Save Button self.saveButton = Button (self, text = "Save", command = self.saveMe) self.saveButton.grid(column = 0, row = 0, sticky = W) #Open Button self.openButton = Button (self, text = "Open", command = self.openMe) self.openButton.grid(column = 0, row = 1, sticky = W) #Area where you write self.text = Text (self, width = (root.winfo_screenwidth() - 20), height = (root.winfo_screenheight() - 10)) self.text.grid(row = 2) ==============Mainloop/Command Stuff============ </code></pre> <p><strong>My Question</strong></p> <p>Is there another way to use the <code>.grid()</code> geometry manager in a way that is more accurate, or should I be using another function altogether?</p> <p>Thanks!</p>
