The Place geometry manager is the simplest of the three general geometry managers provided in Tkinter. It allows you explicitly set the position and size of a window, either in absolute terms, or relative to another window. You can access the place manager through the place() method which is available for all standard widgets. It is usually not a good idea to use place() for ordinary window and dialog layouts; its simply too much work to get things working as they should. Use the pack() or grid() managers for such purposes. Syntax:
widget.place(relx = 0.5, rely = 0.5, anchor = CENTER)
Note : place() method can be used with grid() method as well as with pack() method. Code #1:Â
Python3
# Importing tkinter modulefrom tkinter import * from tkinter.ttk import *Â
# creating Tk windowmaster = Tk()Â
# setting geometry of tk windowmaster.geometry("200x200")Â
# button widgetb1 = Button(master, text = "Click me !")b1.place(relx = 1, x =-2, y = 2, anchor = NE)Â
# label widgetl = Label(master, text = "I'm a Label")l.place(anchor = NW)Â
# button widgetb2 = Button(master, text = "GFG")b2.place(relx = 0.5, rely = 0.5, anchor = CENTER)Â
# infinite loop which is required to# run tkinter program infinitely# until an interrupt occursmainloop() |
Output: 
When we use pack() or grid() managers, then it is very easy to put two different widgets separate to each other but putting one of them inside other is a bit difficult. But this can easily be achieved by place() method. In place() method, we can use in_ option to put one widget inside other. Code #2:Â
Python3
# Importing tkinter modulefrom tkinter import * from tkinter.ttk import *Â
# creating Tk windowmaster = Tk()Â
# setting geometry of tk windowmaster.geometry("200x200")Â
# button widgetb2 = Button(master, text = "GFG")b2.pack(fill = X, expand = True, ipady = 10)Â
# button widgetb1 = Button(master, text = "Click me !")Â
# This is where b1 is placed inside b2 with in_ optionb1.place(in_= b2, relx = 0.5, rely = 0.5, anchor = CENTER)Â
# label widgetl = Label(master, text = "I'm a Label")l.place(anchor = NW)Â
# infinite loop which is required to# run tkinter program infinitely# until an interrupt occursmainloop() |
Output: In below images notice that one button is placed inside the other.
