I'm using tkinter pack method to place two frames in a window. I need to expand the top frame & Bot frame vertically by a ratio of 2:1
I understand .expand() in grid manager has an option called rowconfigure() for this purpose.
However, I would like to know in particular whether this can be achieved by using only Pack()
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
window = tk.Tk()
window.title("Pack expand ratio - tkinter pack vs grid")
window.geometry("800x600")
window.minsize(200, 200)
frm_Top = tk.Frame(master=window, width = 600,bg= '#beb7e2', relief=tk.GROOVE, borderwidth=2)
frm_Top.pack(side =tk.TOP, fill=tk.BOTH, expand=True )
frm_Bot = tk.Frame(master=window, width = 600, bg= '#abbdee',relief=tk.GROOVE, borderwidth=2)
frm_Bot.pack(side =tk.TOP, fill=tk.BOTH, expand=True)
btn_search = ttk.Button(master=frm_Top, text="Search",width=15)
btn_quit = ttk.Button(master=frm_Bot, text="Quit", width = 15)
btn_search.pack(side =tk.TOP, ipady=20, expand=True, anchor='ne')
btn_quit.pack(side =tk.TOP, ipady=20 ,expand=False, anchor='ne')
window.mainloop()
Ie. I'm trying to obtain the same results by using following similar pack ()
#Frm_Top & Frm_Bot vertically in a ratio of 2:1
#ie equivalent method for using grid weights
window.rowconfigure(0, weight=2)
window.rowconfigure(1, weight=1)
I would like to know in particular whether this can be achieved by using only Pack()
No, there is no equivalent feature with pack. pack and grid solve two different types of problems and do not have 100% feature parity with each other.
