[Tkinter-discuss] Getting a canvas within an existing frame.

[kimmyaf]

I cannot get my canvas to show within my existing frame.  I can only get it
to build it's own frame. Can someone help? As you can see i've tried a
number of different things so i have a lot of stuff commented out at the
bottom. attached is a picture of what my GUI looks like. I want the canvas
to show in the same frame as the address entries not seperately. Any help is
appreciated. I see a lot of examples on the web but they are all building
the canvas in their own frame. I need it in the other frame.


class App:
    def __init__(self, master):
             
        self.master = master # store link to master window (or:
self.frame._root())        
        self.frame = Frame(master)  # make a frame  with master as parent
        self.frame.grid(row=0, column=0) # initiate drawing of frame in
master window
        
        # make a label
        self.label = Label(self.frame, text="Massachusetts Bay Transit
Authority - Bus Locator", justify=LEFT, 
                   font= ("Helvetica","16", "bold"))        
        self.label.grid(row=0, column=0, columnspan=4)
        print self.label.cget("font")  # what's my font?
        
        # make another label
        self.label = Label(self.frame, text="Enter your current location",
justify=LEFT, 
                   font= ("Helvetica","12"))        
        self.label.grid(row=1, column=0)
        print self.label.cget("font")  # what's my font?

        self.entry_addr.set("Address line 1")

        self.entry.grid(row=1, column=1)
