Tkinter - geometry managers (grid)

https://realpython.com/python-gui-tkinter/

INTRODUCTION

The geometry manager grid works by splitting a window or Frame into rows and columns. You specify the location of a widget by calling grid and passing the row and column indices to the row and column keyword arguments, respectively. Both row and column indices start at 0.

The sticky option to grid describes how the widget should line up within the grid cell.

The method widget.grid_forget() erases a drawn widget.

columnspan=2   # the widged will span two columns
rowspan=2   # the widged will span two rows

padx=5, pady=5   # internal padding in pixels

sticky=tk.N   # "n" or "N"
sticky=tk.E   # "e" or "E"
sticky=tk.S   # "s" or "S"
sticky=tk.W   # "w" or "W"
sticky=tk.NE   # "ne" or (tk.N, tk.E)
sticky=tk.NW   # "nw" or (tk.N, tk.W)
sticky=tk.SE   # "se" or (tk.S, tk.E)
sticky=tk.SW   # "sw" or (tk.S, tk.W)

sticky=tk.EW   # "ew" or (tk.E, tk.W)
sticky=tk.NS   # "ns" or (tk.N, tk.S)
sticky=tk.NSEW   # "nsew" or (tk.N, tk.S, tk.E, tk.W)
