How to move a Tkinter button?

Question

I am new to Python and Tkinter and I am needing to move a button.

I have been using button1.pack() to place the button.

I am not able to move the button from its original position at the bottom of the screen.

Solution 1

Absolute position

button1.place(x=some_value, y=some_value) 

or relative position

button1.pack(side=RIGHT, padx=some_value, pady=some_value)

padx, pady - paddings

Solution 2

button1.grid(row = 0, column = 0, padx = 0, pady = 0)

But this cannot be used together with pack(), you need to stick to either one.

And this only orders objects relatively, so if you have only one object and you set the row and column to 40 and 50, respectively, the object will still be on the top left corner.

Thank you. Does this mean I have to only use grid()? Can I use pack in other sections?

You can use them in the same script, but not in the same tkinter master window. Also, this website gives you an overview with nice examples: python-course.eu/tkinter_layout_management.php
