Python Tkinter GUI designer

It uses tkinter Grid geometry manager. (https://effbot.org/tkinterbook/grid.htm) You will get pure Python (v3.x) tkinter code.

1. Select the desired widgets*
2. If you use rowsapan/colspan press "Check" button
3. Press "Start" to generate codes
4. Set the opened options windows and Apply
5. Press "Finalize" and copy the generated code with Ctrl+C

Hint:

• rowspan must be placed under the expanded widget
• columnspan must be placed to right side of the widget
• maximum 4 column and 4 rowspan cells can be selected for one widget (rowspan/col.span=5)
• if you use col.span and/or rowspan press "Check" button to check your selection. (all missplaced span selection will be reseted and common merged cells disabled)
• Canvas, Menubar does not accept col./rowspan
• Open second session of Python IDLE and use it for checking the generated code without closing the running GUI generator
• widget name with (s) means simple. It uses default parameters and does not open option window.
• You can save and load widget selection with default widget parameters
• Generated code can be Function or Object type
