I'm making a tic-tac-toe game in python and right now I'm designing the GUI using Tkinter. The problem is that when I add 3 X's or O's to a row, the height of the button shrinks. I've played around with (i)padx and (i)pady and changing the font size, but nothing I've done has solved the issue. Anyone know how to fix this?
from tkinter import *
win = Tk()
win.configure(bg='light blue')
win.geometry('430x560')
win.title('TicTacToe')
win.resizable(False, False)
lblTitle = Label(win, text='Tic-Tac-Toe', font="Verdana 25 bold", fg='thistle4', bg='azure2',
highlightthickness=2, highlightbackground='thistle3')
lblTitle.pack(ipadx=20, ipady=5, padx=50, pady=10)
p1_turn = False
def click(ind):
if p1_turn:
btnTTT[ind].config(text="X", font='Verdana 45 bold')
else:
btnTTT[ind].config(text="O", font='Verdana 45 bold')
tttFrame = Frame(win, bg='azure2', highlightthickness=2, highlightbackground='thistle3')
tttFrame.pack()
btnTTT = list()
i = 0
for row in range(3):
for col in range(3):
btnTTT.append(Button(tttFrame, text="", bg='cadet blue', height=1, width=1,
fg='thistle', font="Verdana 50", relief='groove',
command=lambda c=i: click(c)))
btnTTT[i].grid(row=row, column=col, sticky="nesw", padx=15, pady=10, ipadx=15, ipady=15)
i = i + 1
mainFrame = Frame(win, bg='azure2', highlightthickness=2, highlightbackground='thistle3')
mainFrame.pack(pady=10)
scoreFrame = Frame(mainFrame, bg='azure2')
scoreFrame.grid(row=0, column=0, pady=10)
scoreboard = LabelFrame(scoreFrame, bg='azure2', fg='thistle4', text='Score', font='Verdana 15 bold', labelanchor='nw')
scoreboard.pack(padx=15)
lblPX = Label(scoreboard, bg='thistle', text="Player X:")
lblPX.grid(row=0, column=0, pady=5, padx=5)
lblPO = Label(scoreboard, bg='thistle', text="Player O:")
lblPO.grid(row=1, column=0, pady=5, padx=5)
lblPXScore = Label(scoreboard, bg='white', text=' ', relief='sunken')
lblPXScore.grid(row=0, column=1, padx=5)
lblPOScore = Label(scoreboard, bg='white', text=' ', relief='sunken')
lblPOScore.grid(row=1, column=1, padx=5)
butFrame = Frame(mainFrame, bg='azure2')
butFrame.grid(row=0, column=1)
btnReset = Button(butFrame, text="Reset", font='Verdana 15', fg='thistle')
btnReset.grid(row=0, column=0, padx=15, pady=5, ipady=4, ipadx=3)
btnExit = Button(butFrame, text='Exit', font='Verdana 15', fg='thistle')
btnExit.grid(row=1, column=0, padx=15, pady=5, ipady=3, ipadx=9)
win.mainloop()
It appears that you are having a format problem where the text change is directly changing the size of your button...
Verdana 45 bold
needs to match
Verdana 50"
Notice how one is size 50 and not bold, while the other is 45 and bold? If you change the top line to Verdana 50 and remove "bold" this will directly fix your issue.
For me the issues were on line 18, 19 that need to match line 32.
I want to have a GUI with 2 buttons. Once clicked on either button, I want to see a new GUI which has a button to go back to the main GUI with the two buttons again.
This is what I've got right now but the 'Go back' button doesn't do anything. How can I go back to my first page using tkinter?
from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
root.title('Frames')
root.geometry('500x250+300+300')
# Position frame

frame.pack(padx=10, pady=50)
# What do the buttons do
def bad():
frame.grid_forget()
b.grid_forget()
b2.grid_forget()
slechtekeuze = Label(frame, text='Bad choice')
slechtekeuze.grid(row=0, column=0, columnspan=2)
# Option to got back

It does work, expand your screen a bit. The frames get added below.
I've edited it a bit as much in your style as possible:
from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
root.title('Frames')
root.geometry('500x250+300+300')
# Position frame
frame = LabelFrame(root, text='Such a dilemma', padx=25, pady=25)
frame.pack(padx=10, pady=50)
# What do the buttons do
def bad(frame):
frame.destroy()
frame = LabelFrame(root, text='Such a dilemma', padx=25, pady=25)
frame.pack(padx=10, pady=50)
slechtekeuze = Label(frame, text='Bad choice')
slechtekeuze.grid(row=0, column=0, columnspan=2)
# Option to got back
homepage = Button(frame, text='Go back', command=lambda:back(frame))
homepage.grid(row=1, column=0, columnspan=2, pady=10)
def good(frame):
frame.destroy()
frame = LabelFrame(root, text='Such a dilemma', padx=25, pady=25)
frame.pack(padx=10, pady=50)
slechtekeuze = Label(frame, text='Good choice')
slechtekeuze.grid(row=0, column=0, columnspan=2)

I am designing a simple GUI in Python 2.7 Tkinter, but I can't get things to spread out as I want them. I have managed to get my various widgets roughly where I want them, however I can't seem to force spacing out and things are a little bunched up.
I have also tried to draw 3 LabelFrames to separate the window out, but widgets seem to fall over the LabelFrames. I am wondering how I can space this out a little better. The grid system seems to allow things to bunch up and ignores blank rows and columns as far as I can see.
from Tkinter import *

def __init__(self, root):
root.title("TestGUI")

I have tried various alterations but can't nail it! Any help would be much appreciated.
First, the columns / row adapt to there content so an empty one as a zero height/width. If you want to put space between your widgets use the padx and pady options in the .grid method. They can take either one number which will give the padding on both sides or a couple of numbers giving the padding on each side.
Secondly, if you want your widgets to be inside a LabelFrame, you need to create them with this LabelFrame as master instead of the main window.
from Tkinter import LabelFrame, Tk, Button, Label
root = Tk()
# make row 0 resize with the window
root.rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
# make column 0 and 1 resize with the window
root.columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
root.columnconfigure(1, weight=1)
# create LabelFrames
top_frame = LabelFrame(root, text="top")
left_frame = LabelFrame(root, text="left")
right_frame = LabelFrame(root, text="right")
top_frame.grid(row=0, column=0, columnspan=2, padx=10, pady=(10,4), sticky="nsew")
left_frame.grid(row=1, column=0, padx=(10,4), pady=4, sticky="nsew")
right_frame.grid(row=1, column=1, padx=(4,10), pady=4, sticky="nsew")
#create widgets inside top_frame
Label(top_frame, text="I'm inside top_frame").pack()
Button(top_frame, text="Top").pack()
#create widgets inside left_frame
Label(left_frame, text="I'm inside left_frame").pack()
Button(left_frame, text="Left").pack()
#create widgets inside top_frame
Label(right_frame, text="I'm inside right_frame").pack()
Button(right_frame, text="Right").pack()
Button(root, text="Quit", command=root.destroy).grid(row=2, column=0,
columnspan=2, pady=10)

This is the class I'm calling and the function from a different file
class CalcFunc:
def clearScreen(self):
self.log("CLEAR (CE)")
ent.delete(0, END)
This is the Entry Box
ent = Entry(root, textvariable=clc.getBtn, justify=RIGHT, font=10, relief=RIDGE, bd=2, width=15)
ent.grid(row=0, columnspan=3, pady=10)
This is the button I'm clicking to clear the Entry Box
buttonCC = Button(root, text="CLEAR (CE)", height=1, width=20, bg='orange', command=clc.clearScreen)
I'm not sure what the syntax is to be able to to clear an Entry widget from a class basically. That code worked when I had it in the same file but my project requires it to be in a separate file. It's a class project for a calculator and the "clear" button clears the Entry widget. I can post my entire code if that helps. Thank you.

Dear StackOverflow community,
I am trying to get my head around programming with Python and I am having a hard time with the grid layout manager. I have been trying to find the answer myself and tried various options, but I just can't get my UI to look how I want it to.
I hope that you can help me. Unfortunately, I cannot post pictures because I am new here. But basically I wanted all the coloured buttons on the left hand side EVENLY spaced on top each other, in column 1. Then the Labels in column 2 and the text areas in column 3.
I also wanted to create a border at the bottom with the close button underneath, but this doesn't even show up at all.
Please could you give me some hints as to what I am doing wrong?

It sounds like you don't need to be using grid, since you aren't creating a grid. It sounds like you want each column to be evenly spaced vertically, which precludes a grid-like layout.
You're creating three columns, so I would start with packing a frame along the bottom for your quit button, and then three vertical frames, packed left-to-right, all in the main window.
Next, pack the color buttons in the left-most frame, top to bottom. With the right options they will be evenly spaced (though you could also use grid if you want).
Finally, use the exact same technique for the other two columns - pack everything top-to-bottom, having each one expand to fill the area they are allotted.
You should use at least a Frame to group all the left buttons and another one for the Exit button, as in the following code:
import Tkinter
from ttk import Frame, Button, Style
class KarateSyllabus(Frame):
"""A program that displays karate grading syllabi"""
