copied!<p> I find the <code>place</code> manager the most intuitive and accurate of all three, because of the possibility to specify combinations of absolute and relative lengths for both positions and size:</p> <pre class="lang-py prettyprint-override"><code>mywidget.place(x=..., y=..., width=..., height=...) # absolute mywidget.place(relx=..., rely=..., relwidth=..., relheight=...) # relative # combination pad_left=5 pad_right=5 pad_top=5 pad_bottom=5 mywidget.place(relx=0, x=pad_left, rely=0, y=pad_top,\ relwidth=1, width=-pad_left-pad_right,\ relheight=1, height=-pad_top-pad_bottom, anchor="e") # use the whole space except some padding </code></pre> <p>For some reason, the <code>.place</code> manager doesn't seem very liked, but I find it makes a particulary good job to define how your widgets should move around and resize when the parent window is resized.</p> <p>To ease the construction of complex windows, I sometimes use a function (to kind of emulate a grid behaviour I suppose) to aid in the vertical placement, such as:</p> <pre class="lang-py prettyprint-override"><code>def offset_y(line_no): if line_no == 0: return 0 else: return height_label + (line_no - 1)*height_button mylabel.place(..., y=offset_y(0)) mybtn1.place(..., y=offset_y(1)) etc. </code></pre> <p>to pack vertically a Label and then a series of buttons. (Of course, the <code>.pack</code> manager could be used in this case, but the reason I prefer the <code>.place</code> manager is for understanding more accurately how things will move around when the window is resized).</p>
