place_info(), pack_info() and grid_info() methods in Tkinter

To get all the information about the options of the geometry management of a widget place_info(), pack_info() and grid_info() methods in tkinter are used accordingly. 

place_info() method

This method is used for getting information about geometry management of a widget like position and size of a window, either in absolute terms, or relative to another window.

Syntax : widget.place_info() 

Parameter: None

Returns : Returns a dictionary of the info of the place options of the current widget 

Code 1:

Python3

# Importing all functions/classes
# from tkinter module
from tkinter import *

# toplevel window
root = Tk()

# setting window size
root.geometry("810x350")

# create a Label widget whose
# place info is to be obtained
rect = Label(root,
             text = "MY PLACE INFO IS SHOWN BELOW",
             bg = "pink")

# place a widget in a specific
# position in the parent widget.
rect.place(rely = 0.1, relx = 0.2,
           relwidth = 0.6,
           relheight = 0.3)

# widget displaying place info of rect
label = Label(root)

# place a widget in a specific
# position in the parent widget.
label.place(rely = 0.6)

# get a info of the place
label['text'] = rect.place_info()

# start the GUI
root.mainloop()

Output:

pack_info() method

This method is used for getting information about geometry management of a widget like expand, side, fill, padding values etc.

Syntax : widget.pack_info() 

Parameter: None

Returns : Returns a dictionary of the info of the pack options of the current widget 

Code 2:

Python3

# Importing all functions/classes
# from tkinter module
from tkinter import *

# toplevel window
root = Tk()

# create a Label widget whose
# pack info is to be obtained
rect = Label(root,
             text = "MY PACK INFO IS SHOWN BELOW",
             bg = "pink")

# placing them in a specific position
# in the parent widget.
rect.pack(expand = True)

# create a Label
label = Label(root)

label.pack()

label['text'] = rect.pack_info()

# start the GUI
root.mainloop()

Output:

grid_info() method

This method is used for getting information about geometry management of a widget like row number, column number ,rowsapn, columnspan, padding values etc.

Syntax : widget.grid_info() 

Parameter: None

Returns : Returns a dictionary of the info of the grid options of the current widget 

Code 3:

Python3

# Importing all functions/classes
# from tkinter module
from tkinter import *

# toplevel window
root = Tk()

# widget whose grid info is to be obtained
rect = Label(root,
             text = "MY GRID INFO IS SHOWN BELOW",
             bg = "pink")

# grid method is used for placing
# the widgets at respective positions
# in table like structure .
rect.grid(stick = N)

# create a label
label = Label(root)

label.grid()

label['text'] = rect.grid_info()

# start the GUI
root.mainloop()

Output:
