pack_configure methods:
Table 35-1. Pack Manager Options
Option

Type
|
Description
|
side
|
constant
|
Specifies which side to pack the widget against. To pack widgets
vertically, use TOP (default). To pack widgets
horizontally, use LEFT.
You can also pack widgets along the BOTTOM and
RIGHT edges. You can mix sides in a single geometry manager,
but the results may not be what you expect. While you can create
pretty complicated layouts by nesting Frame widgets, you
may prefer using the grid geometry manager for all
non-trivial layouts.
|
fill
|
constant
|
Specifies whether the widget should occupy all the space given
to it by the master. If NONE (default), keep the widget's
original size. If X (horizontally), Y
(vertically), or BOTH, fill the given space along that
direction.
To make a widget fill the entire master widget, set
fill to BOTH and expand to a non-zero
value.
|
expand
|
flag
|
Specifies whether the widgets should be expanded to fill any
extra space in the geometry master. If zero (default), the widget
is not expanded.
|
in (in_)
|
widget
|
Pack widget inside the given widget. You can only pack a widget
inside its parent, or in any decendant of its parent. This option
should usually be left out, in which case the widget is packed
inside its parent.
Note that in is a reserved word in Python. To use it as
a keyword option, append an underscore (in_).
