Place

The place geometry manager positions a widget by absolute or relative coordinates. This page is the method spec; Arranging widgets teaches when to reach for place.

In ttkbootstrap place (and place_configure) return the widget, so construction and placement can be chained.

The canonical upstream reference is the Tk place manual page (Tcl 8.6).

Options

Every option below is a keyword argument to place().

Option	Type	Description
x y	int	The anchor point’s position, in pixels from the parent’s top-left corner.
relx rely	float	The anchor point’s position as a fraction of the parent’s size, 0.0–1.0. Combines with x / y, which then act as a pixel offset.
width height	int	The widget’s size, in pixels.
relwidth relheight	float	The widget’s size as a fraction of the parent’s size, 0.0–1.0. Combines with width / height as a pixel adjustment.
anchor	str	Which point of the widget is placed at the given position: "nw" (default), "center", "se", ….
bordermode	str	Whether coordinates are measured "inside" (default) or "outside" the parent’s border.
in_	Widget	Place relative to a container other than the parent. Rarely needed.
