Frame

The Frame element is used to create containers for other elements - similar to a <div> tag in html.

An Empty Frame

Frame elements do not render if empty. This can be used as a method to create a sort of “headless” application, but the preferable method for achieving the same is using root.withdraw().

import tkinter
root = tkinter.Tk()

tkinter.Frame(root).pack()

root.mainloop()

On running this code we get the notification that a python program is running but no windows are displayed.

Frame with Dimensions

If we provide dimensions to a Frame then it will render an empty window.

import tkinter
root = tkinter.Tk()

tkinter.Frame(root, width=100, height=100).pack()

root.mainloop()            

Frame with Items

The intended use of the Frame element is to be used as the parent for other widgets.

import tkinter
root = tkinter.Tk()

frame = tkinter.Frame(root)
frame.pack()

tkinter.Label(frame, text="INSIDE A FRAME :)").pack()

root.mainloop()
