fill, expand from tkinter.pack() layout manager

[ast]

Hi

I dont really understood how fill and expand
works with  layout manager tkinter.pack()

Example:

from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
w = Label(root, text=Red, bg=red, fg=white)
w.pack(side=LEFT, fill = BOTH)

Here is the result:

Why is the label w only extended vertically and not horizontally too ?
I specified fill = BOTH so it should extend in both direction.

(I know that with expand = 1, it will expand in both direction) 


thx

with:
w.pack(side=TOP, fill = BOTH)

it expand horizontally but not vertically

with:
w.pack(side=LEFT, fill = BOTH, expand = 1) or
w.pack(side=TOP, fill = BOTH, expand = 1)

it expand both horizontally and vertically

Hi,

Packing widgets splits frame into equal areas with expand=1. if expand=false, 
widgets don't touch each other and widgets save their own dimension.
