 Methods

The Menu widget supports the standard Tkinter Widget interface (with the exception of the geometry manager methods), plus the following methods:

add(type, options...)

Add (append) an entry of the given type to the menu. The type argument can be one of "command", "cascade" (submenu), "checkbutton", "radiobutton", or "separator". The options are as defined in the following table:
