Tkintermapview only show map with window.mainloop(), but i need to use wind.update()

My tkinter gui I made works like it should, but when I added a map with tkintermapview is doesn't show me the map. Instead it only shows me, under my standard GUI inputboxes, a zoom button with markers that I added, but no map. GUI with marks but no map
I found out where the problem is I use window.update to do other things in my code like logging the serial port. But when I use window.mainloop() the map does show, but I cant have an while loop any more. This because mainloop() works on an event and update() happens every iteration.
import tkinter
from tkintermapview import TkinterMapView
window = tkinter.Tk()
window.title("Salinity data logger")
frame = tkinter.Frame(window)
frame.pack()
user_info_frame = tkinter.LabelFrame(frame,text="Data storage")
user_info_frame.grid(row=0, column=0, padx=20, pady=10)
file_location_label = tkinter.Label(user_info_frame, text="File location")
file_location_label.grid(row=0, column=0)
file_name_label = tkinter.Label(user_info_frame, text="File name")
file_name_label.grid(row=0, column=1)
file_location_entry = tkinter.Entry(user_info_frame)
file_name_entry = tkinter.Entry(user_info_frame)
file_location_entry.grid(row=1, column=0)
file_name_entry.grid(row=1, column=1)
for widget in user_info_frame.winfo_children():
widget.grid_configure(padx=20, pady=5)
# Part of the code for the map
map_frame = tkinter.Frame(frame)
map_frame.grid(row=5, column=0, padx=20, pady=10)
map_widget = TkinterMapView(window, width=600, height=400, corner_radius=0)
map_widget.pack(fill="both", expand=True)
map_widget.set_tile_server("https://mt0.google.com/vt/lyrs=m&hl=en&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}&s=Ga", max_zoom=22)
map_widget.set_address("Berlin Germany", marker=True)
map_widget.set_address("Potsdam Germany", marker=True)
while True:
window.update()
# do some other things like reading serialport for data input

Pack 4 frames inside the window (tkinter)

Good day everyone!
I need to place four frames inside the window as shown in the picture, and using the .pack() method.
Now I have 3 frames placed in the window (picture before), and I want to add another one by moving frame f11 to the right. I also attach a picture with how it should look as a result (picture after).
Current part of code:
f11 = LabelFrame(current_tab, borderwidth=2, pady=5, relief=GROOVE, labelwidget=lbl_frm_wdgt_founder)
f11.pack(side=BOTTOM, fill=BOTH)
frame_left = Frame(current_tab, borderwidth=0, relief=GROOVE)
frame_left.pack(side=LEFT, fill=BOTH)
frame_right = LabelFrame(current_tab, labelwidget=lbl_frm_wdgt_arb, borderwidth=2, relief=GROOVE)
frame_right.pack(side=RIGHT, fill=BOTH)
frame_bottom_left = Frame(current_tab, borderwidth=2, relief=GROOVE)
# frame_bottom_left.pack(???)

If you don't want to / can't use grid(), you can use tk.Frame() widgets as generic containers
import tkinter as tk # don't use star imports!
from tkinter import ttk
top_container = tk.Frame(current_tab)
top_container.pack(expand=True, fill=tk.X, side=tk.TOP)
# top container children
frame_left = Frame(
top_container,
borderwidth=0,
relief=tk.GROOVE
)
frame_left.pack(side=tk.LEFT, fill=tk.BOTH)
frame_right = LabelFrame(
top_container,
labelwidget=lbl_frm_wdgt_arb,
borderwidth=2,
relief=tk.GROOVE
)
frame_right.pack(side=tk.RIGHT, fill=tk.BOTH)
bottom_container = tk.Frame(current_tab)
bottom_container.pack(expand=True, fill=tk.X, side=tk.BOTTOM)
# bottom container children
frame_bottom_left = tk.Frame(
bottom_container,
borderwidth=2,
relief=tk.GROOVE
)
frame_bottom_left.pack(side=tk.LEFT, fill=tk.BOTH)
f11 = ttk.LabelFrame(
bottom_container,
borderwidth=2,
pady=5,
relief=tk.GROOVE,
labelwidget=lbl_frm_wdgt_founder
)
f11.pack(side=tk.RIGHT, fill=tk.BOTH)
Since the container frames are packed separately, you can use one on top and another on the bottom
P.S.: Try to avoid * star imports - make sure to properly namespace all constants e.g. tk.LEFT and classes e.g. ttk.LabelFrame

Buttons not being placed inside the correct frame in tkinter

I am a newbie trying to use tkinter to build a GUI for an application. So far, I have a frame that I'd like to put several buttons into. However, every time I attempt to position this button, it isn't placed properly, being put outside of the frame itself. I wouldn't like to use the place function because of the several buttons I have to dynamically generate coming from an excel sheet so I was hoping to use the grid function instead.
Here is what I have so far
from tkinter import *
from customtkinter import *
window = Tk()
window.geometry("1920x1080")
window.state("zoomed")
window.title("My Company's Description Printer")
main_frame = CTkFrame(window, width=1920, height=1080, fg_color="grey21")
main_frame.place(x=0, y=0)
title = Label(main_frame,
text="My Company",
bg="grey21",
fg="white",
font=("Trajan Pro", 20)).place(x=626, y=30)
button_frame = CTkCanvas(main_frame,
width=800,
height=600,
highlightthickness=3,
highlightbackground="black",
relief="ridge",
bg="grey19").place(x=60, y=110)
test_button = CTkButton(button_frame, text="test").grid(row=0, column=0)
window.mainloop()
Example of code being ran
As you can see, the button is being placed in the top left corner of the entire window rather than the top left corner of the black bordered button frame. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much.

Note that button_frame is None because it is the result of .place(...), so the button (test_button is None as well due to same reason) is a child of the root window instead of the instance of CTkCanvas. .place(...) should be called in separate line.
Also .create_window() is used instead of tkinter layout manager to put widget into a canvas:
...
button_frame = CTkCanvas(main_frame,
width=800,
height=600,
highlightthickness=3,
highlightbackground="black",
relief="ridge",
bg="grey19")
# call .place(...) in separate line
button_frame.place(x=60, y=110)
test_button = CTkButton(button_frame, text="test") # don't use .grid(row=0, column=0)
# use .create_window() to put widget into canvas
button_frame.create_window(0, 0, window=test_button, anchor="nw")

customtkinter - align text in CTkLabel

I want my text to be aligned to the left (or west).
My code:
import customtkinter as ctk
import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("300x100")
label = ctk.CTkLabel(master=root,
text="this is a label",
text_color="#fff",
bg_color="green",
width=250,
justify="left",
anchor="w"
)
label.place(x=0, y=0)
root.mainloop()
Even with justify="left" and anchor="w" nothing changes and the text is centered. Why? And how can I fix it?

Actually CTKLabel is a Frame and the text is a Label inside that frame. The text is put at center of the frame using place(relx=0.5, rely=0.5, anchor='c'). So the justify and anchor options passed to CTKLabel does not work.
However, you can move the text after creating the instance as below:
label = ctk.CTkLabel(master=root,
text="this is a label",
text_color="#fff",
bg_color="green",
width=250,
justify="left",
anchor="w"
)
label.text_label.place(relx=0, anchor='w') # move the text to the left side of frame
label.place(x=0, y=0)
Or making the text to fill the frame horizontally:
label.text_label.place(relwidth=1)

This could be solve your problem: anchor=ctk.W
And here is the code:
label = ctk.CTkLabel(master=root,
text="this is a label",
text_color="#fff",
bg_color="green",
anchor=ctk.W)

Adding justify worked for me. I was able to center align the text inside the Custom TKinter textbox (CTKEntry)
example:
testEntry = customtkinter.CTkEntry(master=f1,
justify=CENTER,
width=120,
height=120,
corner_radius=2)

Tkinter. How to change the background color of LabelFrame title?

I need to set a white background color of the LabelFrame title. I'm working on Tkinter in Python 3.6
Capture

You can specify your own widget to use as the LabelFrame's "label" — this mean, for example, you could create a separate Label widget with the text attributes you want, and specify it when creating the LabelFrame via the labelwidget= option:
import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry('300x75')
label = tk.Label(root, text='Life, the universe and everything?', fg='white',
bg='blue')
lable_frame = tk.LabelFrame(root, labelwidget=label) # Use custom label.
lable_frame.pack(fill=tk.BOTH, expand=1, padx=5, pady=5)
w = tk.Entry(lable_frame)
w.pack(side=tk.LEFT, fill=tk.X, expand=1)
root.mainloop()
Result:
