Python Tkinter | grid_location() and grid_size() method

Python | grid() method in Tkinter

Python | pack() method in Tkinter

Tkinter is used to develop GUI (Graphical User Interface) applications. It supports a variety of widgets as well as a variety of widgets methods or universal widget methods.
 

grid_location() method –

This method returns a tuple containing (column, row) of any specified widget. Since this method is a widget method you cannot use it with master object ( or Tk() object). In order to use this method, you should first create a Frame and treat it as a parent (or master).
 

Syntax: widget.grid_location(x, y)
Parameters: 
x and y are the positions, relative to the upper left corner of the widget (parent widget). 
 

In below example, grid_location() is used to get the location of the widget in the Frame widget.
 

Python3




# This imports all functions in tkinter module
from tkinter import * from tkinter.ttk import *
 
# creating master window
master = Tk()
 
# This method is used to get the position
# of the desired widget available in any
# other widget
def click(event):
     
    # Here retrieving the size of the parent
    # widget relative to master widget
    x = event.x_root - f.winfo_rootx()
    y = event.y_root - f.winfo_rooty()
 
    # Here grid_location() method is used to
    # retrieve the relative position on the
    # parent widget
    z = f.grid_location(x, y)
 
    # printing position
    print(z)
 
# Frame widget, will work as
# parent for buttons widget
f = Frame(master)
f.pack()
 
# Button widgets
b = Button(f, text = "Button")
b.grid(row = 2, column = 3)
 
c = Button(f, text = "Button2")
c.grid(row = 1, column = 0)
 
# Here binding click method with mouse
master.bind("<Button-1>", click)
 
# infinite loop
mainloop()
 






                        









													
													
												

												
												

													
													



													
													
												

												
													
											

											
											
											
grid_size() method –

											
											
											

												
												

													
													
This method is used to get the total number of grids present in any parent widget. This is a widget method so one cannot use it with master object. One has to create a Frame widget.
 

													
													
												

												
												

													
													


Syntax: (columns, rows) = widget.grid_size()
Return Value: It returns total numbers of columns and rows (grids). 
 



													
													
												

												
												

													
													
Below is the Python code-
 

													
													
												

												
												

													
													


Python3














                                    




                                    

                                    




                                    




                                    

                                    

                                    
                                




















# This imports all functions in tkinter module


from tkinter import * from tkinter.ttk import *


 


# creating master window


master = Tk()


 


# This method is used to get the size


# of the desired widget i.e number of grids


# available in the widget


def grids(event):


     


    # Here, grid_size() method is used to get


    # the total number grids available in frame


    # widget


    x = f.grid_size()


 


    # printing (columns, rows)


    print(x)


 


# Frame widget, will work as 


# parent for buttons widget


f = Frame(master)


f.pack()


 


# Button widgets


b = Button(f, text = "Button")


b.grid(row = 1, column = 2)


 


c = Button(f, text = "Button2")


c.grid(row = 1, column = 0)


 


# Here binding click method with mouse


master.bind("<Button-1>", grids)


 


# infinite loop


mainloop()



















                        







                        









													
													
												

												
												

													
													
Output: 
Every time you click the mouse button it will return the same value until more widgets are not added OR number of rows and columns are not increased.
