Tkinter_page is based on tkinter. It contains several frames that used in spcific area. You can build you user interface faster with tkinter_page.
#This is a example to build an DesktopFrame.
import tkinter as tk
import tkinter_page as tkp
window = tk.Tk()
# Way1: Generate child frame before DesktopFrame by building a dict
bar_frame = {"background":"gold","width":400,"height":30}
files_frame = {"background":"red","width":70,"height":200}
# Generate a DesktopFrame
bframe = tkp.DesktopFrame(window,log=True,bar_frame=bar_frame,files_frame=files_frame)
# Way2: Generate child frame after DesktopFrame by building a dict
details_frame = {"background":"green","width":260,"height":200}
bframe.set_details_frame(details_frame)
bframe.set_attributes_frame({"background":"blue","width":70,"height":200})
# Way3: Generate child frame after DesktopFrame by building a frame
# If youo use the third way, be careful that you should define the master.
# --------------------------------------------------------------
# | master | child frame |
# | base_frame | bar_frame, logs_frame |
# | mid_frame | files_frame, details_frame, attributes_frame |
# --------------------------------------------------------------
logs_frame = tk.Frame(bframe.base_frame,background="black",width=400,height=40)
bframe.set_logs_frame(logs_frame)
# Pack and Run
bframe.pack()
window.mainloop()
Page can be constructed by combobox style.
#This is a example 1 to build an Page.
#Using Combobox to flip.
import tkinter as tk
import tkinter_page as tkp
window = tk.Tk()
base_frame = tk.Frame(window)
# First we creat three child pages
# We can creat a pack way for a page

child1 = tkp.Page(base_frame,pack_way=pack_way1)
label1 = tk.Label(base_frame,text="child1",width=10,height=2)
child1.add_component(label1)

child2 = tkp.Page(base_frame,pack_way=pack_way2)
label2 = tk.Label(base_frame,text="child2",width=10,height=2)
child2.add_component(label2)
# We can also use auto pack way(do not need a pack way func)
child3 = tkp.Page(base_frame)
label3 = tk.Label(base_frame,text="child3",width=10,height=2)
child3.add_component(label3)
# make child page list

page1.add_component(label0)
# construct father page - add child page at certain place
page1.set_child_page(child2,name='page2',mode='ADD',place=1)
# Pack Father Page
# you can also use
# page1.pack(show_child=True)
# to auto show the current child page
base_frame.pack(fill='both',expand=1)
page1.pack()
window.mainloop()
This is another page example with tree style.
#This is a example to build an Page.
#Using Buttom (or other components) to flip.
import tkinter as tk
import tkinter_page as tkp
window = tk.Tk()
base_frame = tk.Frame(window)
# make pages like a tree and use components

father.add_component(label0)
# Method ONE
# make page 1 - STRONGLY NOT RECMMENDED
# Of course you can add page in this way, but this is
# STRONGLY NOT RECMMENDED! You can use page_connect
# function to connect father page and child page.
# step 1. Define page1 and its components
page1 = tkp.Page(base_frame,flip="Tree")
label1 = tk.Label(base_frame,text="page1",\

# step 1. Define page2 and its components

text='Page 2',master=base_frame)
# page_number is 1 beacuse in the list - 'father.child_page[]',

# Method THREE
# make page 2.1 - The custom generate Button
# step 1. Define page2_1 and its components
page2_1 = tkp.Page(base_frame,flip="Tree",back=father)

text='Page 2_1',widget=to_page2_1)
# Method FOUR
# make page 2.2 - The custom generate Button
# use "widget" with "flavour" and "command" to define the flip component.
# step 1. Define page2_2 and its components
page2_2 = tkp.Page(base_frame,flip="Tree",back=father)
