copied!<p>There are 3 geometry managers that you have available to you -- <code>grid</code>, <code>pack</code> and <code>place</code>. The third is the most general, but also very difficult to use. I prefer <code>grid</code>. Note that you can place widgets inside of other widgets -- Or you can specify <code>columnspan</code>. So, if you want to get the following layout:</p> <pre><code> ------------------------- | Button1 | Button2 | ------------------------- | Big Widget | ------------------------- </code></pre> <p>there are 2 canonical ways to do it using <code>.grid</code>. The first method is <code>columnspan</code>:</p> <pre><code>import Tkinter as Tk root = Tk.Tk() b1 = Tk.Button(root,text="Button1") b1.grid(row=0,column=0) b2 = Tk.Button(root,text="Button2") b2.grid(row=0,column=1) big_widget = Tk.Canvas(root) big_widget.grid(row=1,column=0,columnspan=2) </code></pre> <p>*note that there is a completely analogous <code>rowspan</code> option as well.</p> <p>The second method is to use a <code>Frame</code> to hold your buttons:</p> <pre><code>import Tkinter as Tk root = Tk.Tk() f = Tk.Frame(root) f.grid(row=0,column=0) #place buttons on the *frame* b1 = Tk.Button(f,text="Button1") b1.grid(row=0,column=0) b2 = Tk.Button(f,text="Button2") b2.grid(row=0,column=1) big_widget = Tk.Canvas(root) big_widget.grid(row=1,column=0) #don't need columnspan any more. </code></pre> <p>This method is <strong>SUPER</strong> useful for creating complex layouts -- I don't know how you could create a complex layout without using <code>Frame</code> objects like this ...</p>
