Tkinter LabelFrame

Last Updated : 17 Mar 2025

The LabelFrame widget is used to draw a border around its child widgets. We can also display the title for the LabelFrame widget. It acts like a container which can be used to group the number of interrelated widgets such as Radiobuttons. This widget is a variant of the Frame widget which has all the features of a frame. It also can display a label.

from tkinter import *

top = Tk()
top.geometry("300x200")

labelframe1 = LabelFrame(top, text="Positive Comments")
labelframe1.pack(fill="both", expand="yes")

toplabel = Label(labelframe1, text="Place to put the positive comments")
toplabel.pack()

labelframe2 = LabelFrame(top, text = "Negative Comments")
