The LabelFrame widget

We have chosen the ttk.LabelFrame widget to group the fields in our application. As the name implies, it's Frame with Label (and a box around it, usually). The LabelFrame widget takes a text argument in the constructor that sets the label, positioned in the top-left of the frame.

Tkinter and ttk contain many more widgets, some of which we'll encounter later in this book. Python also ships with a widget library called tix, which contains several dozen widgets. However, tix is very outdated, and we won't be covering it in this book. You should know that it exists, though.
