The following options can be used with the place and place_configure methods:
Table 36-1. Place Manager Options
Option | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
anchor | constant | Specifies which part of the widget that should be placed at the given position. Valid values are N, NE, E, SE, SW, W, NW, or CENTER. Default is NW (the upper left corner, that is). |
bordermode | constant | If INSIDE, the size and position are relative to the reference widget's inner size, excluding any border. If OUTSIDE, it's relative to the outer size, including the border. Default is INSIDE. These constants are not defined in Python 1.5.2 and earlier. For compatibility, use the strings "inside" and "outside" instead. |
in (in_) | widget | Place widget relative to the given widget. You can only place a widget relative to its parent, or to any decendant of its parent. If this option is not given, it defaults to the parent. Note that in is a reserved word in Python. To use it as a keyword option, append an underscore (in_). |
relwidth, relheight | float | Size, relative to the reference widget. |
relx, rely | float | Position, relative to the reference widget (usually the parent, unless otherwise specified by the in option). 0.0 is the left (upper) edge, 1.0 is the right (lower) edge. |
width, height | integer | Size, in pixels. If omitted, it defaults to the widget's "natural" size. |
x, y | integer | Absolute position, in pixels. If omitted, defaults to 0. |
