Usually, the best way is to use the geometry method on instances of Tk
or Toplevel. For example, if you have a variable named root which is the
instance of Tk, you can do:
root.geometry('500x400')
This will make the window 500 pixels wide and 400 pixels high.

Where did you find an example code looking like this? This looks like
veeeeeery old conventions for Tkinter programsĀ
For example, there's no need at all to do:
self.QUIT = Button(self)
self.QUIT["text"] = "QUIT"
self.QUIT["fg"] = "red"
self.QUIT["command"] = self.quit
This can be done in a single line:
self.QUIT = Button(self, text='QUIT', fg='red', command=self.quit)
The same goes for self.QUIT.pack({"side": "left"}). Nowadays, this is
always written self.QUIT.pack(side="left").
And you should avoid creating only an instance of Frame. This actually
creates a window, but it's a side-effect. Windows are created by
instantiating Tk for the main one, and Toplevel for all others. Having
only a Frame will cause problems later, for example if you want to add a
menu to the window: You can do so on instances of Tk or Toplevel, but
not on framesĀ
