How To Add A Frame In Tkinter In Python

Introduction

 

In this article, I will explain how to add a Frame in Tkinter in Python.

 

Definition

 

The frame keyword is very important for the process of grouping and organizing other widgets in a friendly way. The Frame keyword is used to create a simple container widget. Its primary purpose is to act as a container for complex window layouts.

 

Syntax

w = Frame( a, option)

Parameters

 

a − This represents the parent window of the computer.

option − The list of most used options for this widget.

 

Option & Description

• bd - The Border is used to change the width in pixels. The default pixel value is 2.
• bg - The background is used to change the Normal background color background.
• height - The height is used to change the height on the frame. in text lines (text buttons) or pixels (images).
• width - The width is used to change the width of the frame in letters.

Program

from tkinter import *
a= Tk()
a.geometry("400x400")
frame1=Frame(a,bg = "green",bd=10,width=100,
             height=50,cursor = "target").pack(side=TOP)
frame2=Frame(a,bg = "red",width=100,
             height=50,cursor = "target").pack(side=RIGHT)
frame3=Frame(a,bg = "yellow",bd=10,width=100,
             height=50,cursor = "target").pack(side=LEFT)
frame4=Frame(a,bg = "blue",bd=10,width=100,
             height=50,cursor = "target").pack(side=BOTTOM)
a.mainloop()

Output

 

• HighlightBackground - we used to focus highlight when the frame does not have focus
• HighlightColor - we used to show in the focus highlight when the frame has the focus.
• HighlightThickness - we used the thickness of the focus highlight.

Program

from tkinter import *
a= Tk()
a.geometry("400x400")
frame1=Frame(a,width=100,height=50,
       highlightcolor="yellow",highlightbackground="red",
       highlightthickness=10).pack(side=TOP)
a.mainloop()

Output

 

• Padx - The padx is used to change the additional padding left and right of the text.
• Pady - The pady is used to changing the additional padding above and below the text.
• Relief - Relief is used to specify the type of the border. The values are SUNKEN, RAISED, GROOVE, and RIDGE.
• Cursor - The cursor is used to set this option to a cursor name, the mouse cursor will change to that pattern when it is over the frame.

Program

from tkinter import *
a= Tk()
a.geometry("400x400")
frame2=Frame(a,bg = "red",width=100,height=50,
      cursor = "target",relief=FLAT).grid(padx = 100, pady = 100)
a.mainloop()

Output
