Creating a widget does not display it.

Forgetting to call a geometry manager is a common early mistake: the widget is created, but nothing shows up.
Tk provides three geometry managers. Each is inherited by every widget, so any widget can be managed by any of them (but see the warning below about the incompatibility of grid and pack). The choice depends on the kind of layout you want.
grid Arranges widgets in a two-dimensional table of rows and columns. It is the most flexible manager and the one to reach for by default: layouts that would otherwise need several nested frames can often be expressed as a single gr
