Column

A container element that is used to create a layout within your window's layout

Column(
    layout,
    background_color = None,
    element_justification = "float",
    size = (None, None),
    pad = None,
    scrollable = False,
    key = None,
    k = None,
    visible = True,
    metadata = None
)

Parameter Descriptions

Name	Type	Default	Description
background_color	str	None	color of background of entire Column. Can be in #RRGGBB format or a color name "black"
element_justification	str	float	All elements inside the Column will have this justification 'left', 'right', 'center' are valid values
k	str or int or tuple or object	None	Same as the Key. You can use either k or key. Which ever is set will be used.
key	str or int or tuple or object	None	Value that uniquely identifies this element from all other elements. Used when Finding an element or in return values. Must be unique to the window
layout	List[List[Element]]		Layout that will be shown in the Column container
metadata	Any	None	User metadata that can be set to ANYTHING
pad	(int, int or (int, int),(int,int) or int,(int,int)) or ((int, int),int)	None	Amount of padding to put around element in pixels (left/right, top/bottom) or ((left, right), (top, bottom)) or an int. If an int, then it's converted into a tuple (int, int)
scrollable	bool	False	if True then scrollbars will be added to the column. If you update the contents of a scrollable column, be sure and call Column.contents_changed also
size	(int or None, int or None)	(None, None)	(width, height) size in pixels (doesn't work quite right, sometimes only 1 dimension is set by tkinter. Use a Sizer Element to help set sizes
