Python Tkinter Frame

Tkinter Frame widget is a container that holds other Tkinter widgets like Label, Entry, Listbox, etc.

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a Frame widget and how to use it group other widgets in a GUI window.

Create Tkinter Frame

To create a Tkinter Frame widget, use the following syntax.

Example 1 – Tkinter Frame

In this example, we will create a Tkinter Frame that holds labels, button and entry widgets.

example.py – Python Program

import tkinter as tk

window_main = tk.Tk(className='Tkinter - TutorialKart')
window_main.geometry("400x200")

frame_1 = tk.Frame(window_main, bg='#c4ffd2', width=200, height=50)
frame_1.pack()
frame_1.pack_propagate(0)

frame_2 = tk.Frame(window_main, bg='#ffffff', width=200, height=50)
frame_2.pack()
frame_2.pack_propagate(0)

#in frame_1
label_1 = tk.Label(frame_1, text='Name')
label_1.pack(side=tk.LEFT)
submit = tk.Entry(frame_1)
submit.pack(side=tk.RIGHT)

#in frame_2
button_reset = tk.Button(frame_2, text='Reset')
button_reset.pack(side=tk.LEFT)
button_submit = tk.Button(frame_2, text='Submit')
button_submit.pack(side=tk.RIGHT)

window_main.mainloop()

Output

Tkinter Frame
