There are 3 layout managers in Tkinter – pack(), grid() and place().
Layout managers can’t be mixed inside a widget – 1 widget can only have 1 layout manager.
This code snippet uses all 3 layout managers. Main Frame includes 3 other frames.
Inside each of these 3 frames, one of the layout managers is presented.
