A frame is rectangular region on the screen. The frame widget is mainly used as a geometry master for other widgets, or to provide padding between other widgets.

Syantax:

w = frame( master, options)

from Tkinter import *

master = Tk()

Label(text="one").pack()

separator = Frame(height=2, bd=1, relief=SUNKEN)
separator.pack(fill=X, padx=5, pady=5)

Creating Multiple Frames In Tkinter Window

We can also create the multiple frames in single window;

Example:

from tkinter import * root = Tk()
root.geometry("300x150")
  
w = Label(root, text ='GeeksForGeeks', font = "50") 
w.pack()
  
frame = Frame(root)
frame.pack()
  
bottomframe = Frame(root)
bottomframe.pack( side = BOTTOM )
  
b1_button = Button(frame, text ="Geeks1", fg ="red")
b1_button.pack( side = LEFT)
  
b2_button = Button(frame, text ="Geeks2", fg ="brown")
b2_button.pack( side = LEFT )
  
b3_button = Button(frame, text ="Geeks3", fg ="blue")
b3_button.pack( side = LEFT )
  
b4_button = Button(bottomframe, text ="Geeks4", fg ="green")
b4_button.pack( side = BOTTOM)
  
b5_button = Button(bottomframe, text ="Geeks5", fg ="green")
b5_button.pack( side = BOTTOM)
  
b6_button = Button(bottomframe, text ="Geeks6", fg ="green")
b6_button.pack( side = BOTTOM)
  
root.mainloop()

Tkinter Lables

The Label widget is a standard Tkinter widget used to display a text or image on the screen.

Syntax

w = Label ( master, option, ... )

Parameters

• master − This represents the parent window.

• options − Here is the list of most commonly used options for this widget. These options can be used as key-value pairs separated by commas.

Example

from Tkinter import *

master = Tk()

w = Label(master, text="Hello, world!")
w.pack()

mainloop()

How to use textvariable() with Lables:

v = StringVar()
Label(master, textvariable=v).pack()

v.set("New Text!")

LabelFrame

The LabelFrame can be used when you want to group a number of related widgets, such as a number of radiobuttons.

Example:

from Tkinter import *

master = Tk()

group = LabelFrame(master, text="Group", padx=5, pady=5)
group.pack(padx=10, pady=10)

w = Entry(group)
w.pack()

mainloop()
