Hello, A friend is having an issue with Tkinter that I'm not able to help him with, so I'm posting here.
He'd like to put something inside of a frame without the frame automagickally resizing. Example: from Tkinter import * root = Tk() # with these 2 frames by themselves, they are the # size requested (the second one is "elastic") f01 = Frame( root, width="40px", height="60px", background="#FFE0E0", borderwidth=1, relief=GROOVE, ) f01.pack( side=LEFT ) f02 = Frame( root, width="40px", height="60px", background="#E0FFE0", borderwidth=1, relief=GROOVE, ) f02.pack( side=LEFT, fill=Y ) # uncomment this, and the left frame changes its size to this #l01 = Label( f01, text="01", # background="#E0E0FF", # borderwidth=2, # relief="ridge", # ) #l01.pack( side=TOP, expand=Y, fill=BOTH ) # and this doesn't help either #s01 = Frame( f01 ) #s01.pack( side=TOP, expand=Y, fill=BOTH ) root.mainloop() Any suggestions on how to maintain the size of the frame when you pack a label into it like this?
