How to center labels and Entry fields in Tkinter Python?-CodePudding

Im making a data base program where the user is prompted with a login screen, but i have an issue below.

#Importing module
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *

#Window
root = tk.Tk()  
root.geometry('400x120') 
root.title('DATABASE PROTOTYPE V.1')

#Fullscreen Toggle
root.attributes('-fullscreen', True)

#Title Displayed
Label(root, text="DATABASE PROTOTYPE V.1",
   font=('Helvetica 12 bold'),
background="yellow3").grid(row=250, column=250, pady=650, padx= 1005)

#Entry_Label 
tk.Label(root, text="username:",font=('Times New Roman',20)).grid(pady=1,padx =5,row=2)
tk.Label(root,text="password:",font=('Times New Roman',20)).grid(pady=1,padx =5,row=1)

#Entry
e = tk.Entry(root,font=('April 16'))
en = tk.Entry(root,show = '*', font=('April 16'))
e.grid(row=0, column=1) 
en.grid(row=1, column=1) 
e.place(x=125,y=10)
en.place(x=125,y=47)

#Buttons
ButtonOne = tk.Button(text ="EXIT",font=('April 8'), command = root.destroy, pady= 1, padx= 1)
ButtonOne.place (x=360, y=90)

ButtonTwo = tk.Button(text ="INFO", font=('April 8'), command = root.destroy, pady= 1, padx= 1)
ButtonTwo.place (x=325, y=90)

ButtonThree = tk.Button(text ="ABOUT", font=('April 8'), command = root.destroy, pady= 1, padx= 1)
ButtonThree.place (x=275, y=90)

ButtonFour = tk.Button(text ="FORGOT CREDENTIALS?", font=('April 8'), command = root.destroy, pady= 1, padx= 1)
ButtonFour.place (x=140, y=90)

#Database

#End
root.mainloop()

when this code specifically runs, the labels for the entry are all the way on the top left, how do I fix this?

CodePudding user response：

I would suggest you use the pack geometry manager instead of place and grid. Pack places your widgets at the center automatically. Since you have two widgets (label and entry) side by side, you could use the side option and specify side= either LEFT or RIGHT. Pack also gives you options to manipulate the widget depending on the space available. i.e. expand and fill.
