Tkinter problems

[mondalraif450]

Hi this is RM MUSIC

Currently, working on a simple calculator project, but I am finding difficulty in placing the buttons in their right place.

from tkinter import *

# This is again a simple calculator program, but with a good
# GUI support with it.
root = Tk()
root.title("RM's Simple Calculator")


# Creating an input criterion
e = Entry(root, bg="black", fg="white", selectbackground="orange")


# Defining Buttons
b_1 = Button(root, text="1", fg="white", bg="black")
b_2 = Button(root, text="2", fg="white", bg="black")
b_3 = Button(root, text="3", fg="white", bg="black")
b_4 = Button(root, text="4", fg="white", bg="black")
b_5 = Button(root, text="5", fg="white", bg="black")
b_6 = Button(root, text="6", fg="white", bg="black")
b_7 = Button(root, text="7", fg="white", bg="black")
b_8 = Button(root, text="8", fg="white", bg="black")
b_9 = Button(root, text="9", fg="white", bg="black")
b_0 = Button(root, text="0", fg="white", bg="black")
b_ac = Button(root, text="A.C", fg="orange", bg="black")
b_del = Button(root, text="DEL", fg="orange", bg="black")
b_mr = Button(root, text="mr", fg="white", bg="black")
b_div = Button(root, text="/", fg="white", bg="black")
b_mul = Button(root, text="X", fg="white", bg="black")
b_add = Button(root, text="+", fg="white", bg="black")
b_sub = Button(root, text="-", fg="white", bg="black")
b_mod = Button(root, text="%", fg="white", bg="black")
b_point = Button(root, text=".", fg="white", bg="black")
b_equal = Button(root, text="=", fg="white", bg="orange")


# Fixing the buttons on the screen

e.grid(row= 0, column= 0, padx=25, columnspan= 4)

b_ac.grid(row= 1, column= 0, padx= 20, pady= 20, columnspan= 2)
b_del.grid(row= 1, column= 1, padx= 20, pady= 20, columnspan= 2)
b_mr.grid(row= 1, column= 2, padx= 20, pady= 20, columnspan= 2)
b_div.grid(row= 1, column= 3, padx= 20, pady= 20, columnspan= 2)

b_7.grid(row= 2, column= 0, padx= 20, pady= 20, columnspan= 2)
b_8.grid(row= 2, column= 1, padx= 20, pady= 20, columnspan= 2)
b_9.grid(row= 2, column= 2, padx= 20, pady= 20, columnspan= 2)
b_mul.grid(row= 2, column= 3, padx= 20, pady= 20, columnspan= 2)

b_4.grid(row= 3, column= 0, padx= 20, pady= 20, columnspan= 2)
b_5.grid(row= 3, column= 1, padx= 20, pady= 20, columnspan= 2)
b_6.grid(row= 3, column= 2, padx= 20, pady= 20, columnspan= 2)
b_sub.grid(row= 3, column= 3, padx= 20, pady= 20, columnspan= 2)

b_1.grid(row= 4, column= 0, padx= 20, pady= 20, columnspan= 2)
b_2.grid(row= 4, column= 1, padx= 20, pady= 20, columnspan= 2)
b_3.grid(row= 4, column= 2, padx= 20, pady= 20, columnspan= 2)
b_add.grid(row= 4, column= 3, padx= 20, pady= 20, columnspan= 2)

b_mod.grid(row= 5, column= 0, padx= 20, pady= 20, columnspan= 2)
b_0.grid(row= 5, column= 1, padx= 20, pady= 20, columnspan= 2)
b_point.grid(row= 5, column= 2, padx= 20, pady= 20, columnspan= 2)
b_equal.grid(row= 5, column= 3, padx= 20, pady= 20, columnspan= 2)

root.mainloop()

That was my code and I am finding difficulty in placing those buttons.

I just wanted to have my buttons a bit close to each other and to enlarge those buttons equally big.

Please if anyone can solve my problem, then please reply me as soon as possible.

Thank you,

Hi, I have modified your code as per your needs and you can play with the parameters further too!

from tkinter import *

# This is again a simple calculator program, but with a good
# GUI support with it.
root = Tk()
root.title("RM's Simple Calculator")
root.minsize(420,400)
root.resizable(False,False)

topframe = Frame(root)
topframe.pack(side = 'top', padx = 20)
bottomframe = Frame(root)
bottomframe.pack(pady = 20)

e = Entry(topframe, bg = "black", fg = "white", highlightcolor = "orange", width = 20, font='Arial 24 bold')
e.pack(padx = 10, pady = 10, ipadx = 5, ipady = 5)

b_1 = Button(bottomframe, text="1", fg="white", bg="black", font='Arial 22 bold')
b_1.grid(row = 3, column = 0, padx = 1, pady = 1, ipadx = 23, ipady = 3)

b_2 = Button(bottomframe, text="2", fg="white", bg="black", font='Arial 22 bold')

b_ac.grid(row = 0, column = 0, padx = 2, pady = 2, ipadx = 2, ipady = 3)

b_del = Button(bottomframe, text="DEL", fg="orange", bg="black", font='Arial 22 bold')
b_del.grid(row = 0, column = 1, padx = 2, pady = 2, ipadx = 2, ipady = 3)

b_mr = Button(bottomframe, text="mr", fg="white", bg="black", font='Arial 22 bold')
b_mr.grid(row = 0, column = 2, padx = 2, pady = 2, ipadx = 13, ipady = 3)

b_div = Button(bottomframe, text="/", fg="white", bg="black", font='Arial 22 bold')
b_div.grid(row = 0, column = 3, padx = 1, pady = 1, ipadx = 27, ipady = 3)

b_mul = Button(bottomframe, text="*", fg="white", bg="black", font='Arial 22 bold')
b_mul.grid(row = 1, column = 3, padx = 1, pady = 1, ipadx = 25, ipady = 3)

b_add = Button(bottomframe, text="+", fg="white", bg="black", font='Arial 22 bold')
b_add.grid(row = 3, column = 3, padx = 1, pady = 1, ipadx = 23, ipady = 3)

b_sub = Button(bottomframe, text="-", fg="white", bg="black", font='Arial 22 bold')
b_sub.grid(row = 2, column = 3, padx = 1, pady = 1, ipadx = 26, ipady = 3)

b_mod = Button(bottomframe, text="%", fg="white", bg="black", font='Arial 22 bold')
b_mod.grid(row = 4, column = 0, padx = 1, pady = 1, ipadx = 19, ipady = 3)

b_point = Button(bottomframe, text=".", fg="white", bg="black", font='Arial 22 bold')
b_point.grid(row = 4, column = 2, padx = 1, pady = 1, ipadx = 27, ipady = 3)

b_equal = Button(bottomframe, text="=", fg="white", bg="orange", font='Arial 22 bold')
b_equal.grid(row = 4, column = 3, padx = 1, pady = 1, ipadx = 23, ipady = 3)

root.mainloop()

and here is the end result -

Hoping you liked my modification and I just saw your post an hour ago, hoping its not too late to reply with a solution. Cheers!
