Pack Vs Grid For Placement – Intro To Tkinter 3

In this video we’ll learn about Pack and Grid for placement with Tkinter and Python.

Pack and Grid are two very different ways to place widgets in Tkinter.

In this video we’ll learn how to use each, and also when to use each!

We’ll also look at a hack that allows you to use both pack and grid at the same time!

Python Code: pack_grid.py
(Github Code)

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()
root.title("Pack vs. Grid - Intro To Tkinter")
root.iconbitmap('images/tkinter.ico')
root.geometry('500x350')

# Pack some buttons
my_button1 = Button(root, text="Button")
my_button2 = Button(root, text="Button")

my_button1.pack(pady=(20,0))
my_button2.pack(pady=0, fill=X, padx=20)

# Create a quick frame
my_frame = Frame(root)
my_frame.pack(pady=50)

# Grid Stuff
my_button3 = Button(my_frame, text="Button")
my_button4 = Button(my_frame, text="Button")
my_button5 = Button(my_frame, text="Button")

my_button6 = Button(my_frame, text="Button")


my_button3.grid(row=0, column=0)
my_button4.grid(row=0, column=1, padx=20)
my_button5.grid(row=0, column=2)
my_button6.grid(row=1, column=0, pady=20, columnspan=3, sticky='ew')



root.mainloop()
