With "side" you have only four option: top, right, bottom and left, with "anchor" you can use some combinations of n, w, s, e or use center (the default). You can also use anchor and side at same time, for example x.pack(side='top', anchor=''w'). side='top' is the default one, it defines where in the master the widget will be packed, anchor defines the position of the widget in this side you chose. > Actually, regarding `anchor`, I see that you can also use it as an > option when creating a widget (ex. `Button(parent, anchor=...)` ). > What's the difference between using it with pack and using as a widget > option? For using it with pack see the paragraph above. Now when you use the option "anchor" while creating a Button, it will be defining where its text and/or image will be placed in the widget, just like described above. Try creating a Button with some text, pack it with expand=True and fill='both' and change the value in anchor to see how it behaves. Anyway, by now (4 days late) you probably already found out all this :) Regards, -- -- Guilherme H.
