As I understand it, there are three geometry managers: Grids, Pack and
Place. Only the first two are of interest. Is it possible to mix them? I don't think so, but maybe I'm missing something. Generally, they seem to apply with respect to a Frame, so I would think only one geometry can be used in a Frame. However, if one is used for frameA and another for frameB, can they both be used with in a parent frame, which has its own geometry (grid or pack)? Suppose I want a parent frame to have a title and below it a 2 column grid with say a Label and Entry. I put the latter in a frame combo in a frame, and attach it to the parent. Do I need to put the title/label in a frame and do the same? Let' see if the following code clarifies this. First, the resulting dialog looks like this: ------------------------------------------------------- Geographic Location Latitude:BOXLongitude:BOX Zenith x:Zenithy:BOXZenith Pixel Position OK Cancel <- Std buttons --------------------------------------------------------- BOX = a rectangle for data entry. There's very little separation between labels and entries. Title labels are in bold. Stuff is kind of jammed together, the "Zenith Pixel Position" title should be one line up. My guess is that I need to use the weight concept available with Grid, columnconfigure and rowconfigure to justify and open up the data entry rows. Perhaps there's a geometry tutor somewhere on the web. Bits and pieces of this stuff is scattered around the web. =======================Start========== # Location/Misc Dialog Prototype from Tkinter import * from tkSimpleDialog import Dialog import tkSimpleDialog import tkMessageBox class DialogPrototype(Dialog): def body(self, master): # Titles fLocationTitle = Frame(master) # fL... for frame fLocationTitle.pack() # Sub entries fCoords = Frame(master) fCoords.pack(side=TOP) fZenith = Frame(master) fZenith.pack(side=LEFT) self.title("Enter Site/Misc.
