Hi, I'm trying to write a gui application using tkinter and matplotlib. I am having trouble with the layout. I'm leaving all the buttons in one frame and the plot in another frame (ie optionsframe = tk.Frame(self), plotsframe = tk.Frame(self)) in a attempt to divide the window into 2 (unequal) parts. However I cannot get the matplotlib figure to scale I tried adding "plotsframe.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1 )plotsframe.grid_rowconfigure(0, weight=1)" but it doesn't work. can someone tell me how to use the whitespace? I'm leaving the code for the page in question below
# Plot

popup.wm_title("!")
