I struggle to understand why anybody would want to write something like this, but it should be fairly straightforward. It's even possible to give each Frame a random color. Here's how I would imagine somebody doing it:
That first attempt was rather hastily thrown together, bad random color function included. This code actually works:
from tkinter import *
import random
def randomColor ():
randomRed = ("00" + random.randint(0, 255))[-2]
randomGreen = ("00" + random.randint(0, 255))[-2]
randomBlue = ("00" + random.randint(0, 255))[-2]
return "#{}{}{}".format(randomRed, randomGreen, randomBlue)
class RandomColorNestedFramesApp:
def __init__(self, master):
self.master = master
self.master.geometry("1024x1024+50+50")
self.bgFrame = Frame(self.master, bg = randomColor())
self.addFrameButton = Button(self.bgFrame, text = "add sub-frame", bg = "#FF00CC", fg = "black", font = "Times 11", command = self.addDaughterFrame)
self.addFrameButton.place(relx = 0, rely = 0, relwidth = 0.25, relheight = 0.07)
self.frameList = []
def addDaughterFrame (self):
if self.frameList == []:
self.frameList.append(Frame(self.bgFrame, bg = randomColor()))
else:
self.frameList.append(Frame(self.frameList[-2], bg = randomColor()))
self.frameList[-1].place(relx = 0.2, rely = 0.2, relwidth = 0.96, relheight = 0.96)
if __name__ == "__main__":
root = Tk()
theApp = RandomColorNestedFramesApp(root)
root.mainloop()Give it a try and let me know how it works. We definitely can't sell this to Microsoft for millions of dollars but I had fun writing it.That first attempt was rather hastily thrown together, bad random color function included. This code actually works:
from tkinter import *
import random
def randomColor ():
randomRed = ("00" + hex(random.randint(0, 255))[2:])[-2]
randomGreen = ("00" + hex(random.randint(0, 255))[2:])[-2]
randomBlue = ("00" + hex(random.randint(0, 255))[2:])[-2]
return "#{}{}{}".format(randomRed, randomGreen, randomBlue)
class RandomColorNestedFramesApp:
def __init__(self, master):
self.master = master
self.master.geometry("1024x1024+50+50")
self.bgFrame = Frame(self.master, bg = randomColor())
self.bgFrame.place(relx = 0, rely = 0, relwidth = 1, relheight = 1)
self.addFrameButton = Button(self.bgFrame, text = "add sub-frame", bg = "#FF00CC", fg = "black", font = "Times 11", command = self.addDaughterFrame)
self.addFrameButton.place(relx = 0, rely = 0, relwidth = 0.25, relheight = 0.07)
self.frameList = []
def addDaughterFrame (self):
if len(self.frameList) < 2:
self.frameList.append(Frame(self.bgFrame, bg = randomColor()))
else:
self.frameList.append(Frame(self.frameList[-2], bg = randomColor()))
self.frameList[-1].place(anchor = "center", relx = 0.5, rely = 0.5, relwidth = 0.96, relheight = 0.96)
if __name__ == "__main__":
root = Tk()
theApp = RandomColorNestedFramesApp(root)
root.mainloop()
