As I understand it, there are three geometry managers: Grids, Pack and
Place. Only the first two are of interest. <br>
<br>
Is it possible to mix them? I don't think so, but maybe I'm missing
something. Generally, they seem to apply with respect to a Frame, so I
would think only one geometry can be used in a Frame. However, if one
is used for frameA and another for frameB, can they both be used with
in a parent frame, which has its own geometry (grid or pack)?<br>
<br>
Suppose I want a parent frame to have a title and below it a 2 column
grid with say a Label and Entry. I put the latter in a frame combo in a
frame, and attach it to the parent. Do I need to put the title/label in
a frame and do the same? Let' see if the following code clarifies this.
<br>
<br>
First, the resulting dialog looks like this:<br>
<br>
-------------------------------------------------------<br>
G<b>eographic Location</b><br>
Latitude:BOXLongitude:BOX<br>
Zenith x:Zenithy:BOX<b>Zenith Pixel Position</b><br>
<br>
OK Cancel <- Std buttons<br>
---------------------------------------------------------<br>
BOX = a rectangle for data entry. There's very little separation
between labels and entries. Title labels are in bold.<br>
<br>
Stuff is kind of jammed together, the "Zenith Pixel Position" title
should be one line up. My guess is that I need to use the weight
concept available with Grid, columnconfigure and rowconfigure to
justify and open up the data entry rows. Perhaps there's a geometry
tutor somewhere on the web. Bits and pieces of this stuff is scattered
around the web.<br>
