In the following example, we will create a frame and load it using the pack command. We will then arrange several widgets using the grid command identical to the previous example whose parent is the frame. Enter the following commands:

1 % frame .f -borderwidth 3 -relief raised
.f

2 % entry .f.e -width 10
.f.e

3 % label .f.1 -text ONE
.f.1

4 % label .2 -text TWO
.f.2

5 % label .f.3 -text THREE
.f.3

6 % button .f.b -text Exit -command exit
.f.b

7 % pack .f
8 % grid .f.e -row 0 -column 2
9 % grid .f.1 -row 1 -column 0
10 % grid .f.2 -row 1 -column 1
11 % grid .f.3 -row 1 -column 2
12 % grid .f.b -row 2 -column 2

At this point, your window should look like the following:

We are able to combine the two geometry managers due to the fact that the container of the frame is the window itself, while the container of the grid is the frame. In this manner, the geometry managers are not competing for control of the geometry.
