To display a widget
w
w.grid(option, ...)
This method registers a widget
w
Here are the options to the
.grid() geometry management
method:
column | The column number where you want the widget gridded, counting from zero. The default value is zero. |
columnspan | Normally a widget occupies only one cell in
the grid. However, you can grab multiple cells
of a row and merge them into one larger cell by
setting the columnspan
option to the number of cells. For example,
|
ipadx | Internal x padding. This dimension is added inside the widget inside its left and right sides. |
ipady | Internal y padding. This dimension is added inside the widget inside its top and bottom borders. |
padx | External x padding. This dimension is added to the left and right outside the widget. |
pady | External y padding. This dimension is added above and below the widget. |
row | The row number into which you want to insert the widget, counting from 0. The default is the next higher-numbered unoccupied row. |
rowspan | Normally a widget occupies only one cell in
the grid. You can grab multiple adjacent cells of
a column, however, by setting the
rowspan option to the
number of cells to grab. This option can be used
in combination with the
columnspan option to grab
a block of cells. For example,
|
sticky | This option determines how to distribute any extra space within the cell that is not taken up by the widget at its natural size. See below. |
If you do not provide a
sticky attribute, the default
behavior is to center the widget in the
cell.
You can position the widget in a corner of the
cell by using sticky=NE (top
right), SE (bottom right),
SW (bottom left), or
NW (top
left).
You can position the widget centered against one side of
the cell by using sticky=N
(top center), E (right
center), S (bottom center), or
W (left
center).
Use sticky=N+S to stretch
the widget vertically but leave it centered
horizontally.
Use sticky=E+W to stretch
it horizontally but leave it centered
vertically.
Use sticky=N+E+S+W to
stretch the widget both horizontally and vertically
to fill the cell.
The other combinations will also work. For
example, sticky=N+S+W will
stretch the widget vertically and place it against
the west (left) wall.
