How to put border for Frame in Python Tkinter

Question

Below is My UI , I am trying to Put Border for the frame. But i am Not getting any information on How to Put border . Please help me over it .

Solution 1

The requested feature is not called a border in Tkinter. It is called a highlight.

To get the above request, set highlightbackground="black" and highlightthickness=1.

(The border is the empty space reserved around the frame) Additional information is available in documentation.)

Solution 2

In the documentation, look at the styles you can apply to a frame using Tkinter: Tkinter Frame Widget

Here is how you do this:

import tkinter as tk
#tk.Frame(master, **config-options)

my_frame = tk.Frame(parent_widget, borderwidth = 1)

Solution 3

from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
frame1 = Frame(root, highlightbackground="blue", highlightthickness=1,width=600, height=100, bd= 0)
frame1.pack()
root.mainloop()

• change the options accordingly

• highlightbackground is used to change the color of the widget in focus

• highlightthickness is used to specify the thickness of the border around the widget in focus.

The doc link (at the effbot site) appears to be not viable: "effbot.org is taking a break. We’ll be back, in some form or another." These two options could use better explanation -- i.e. which widget are these options added? Using a frame I get _tkinter.TclError: unknown option "-highlightbackground". I'm requesting since this "answer" appears to be the most upvoted for this question.

I have to agree with Harlin, this doesn't appear to work for me at all. I think this answer needs updating

Do they have a name in Python? Named parameters? Perhaps add (non-naked) specific links to documentation for those two? (But without "Edit:", "Update:", or similar - the answer should appear as if it was written today.)
