Description

I followed the tutorial and it uses classes however some widget's don't have class examples

so for example I got error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "E:\experience-impact\JMPModelGUI.py", line 124, in <module>
    app = App()
  File "E:\experience-impact\JMPModelGUI.py", line 120, in __init__
    self.my_frame = ModelFrame(master=self)
  File "E:\experience-impact\JMPModelGUI.py", line 106, in __init__
    self.label = ctk.CTkLabel(text="OpenVessel Models")
TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'master'

I didn't know that ctkCTkLabel needed master=self to pass it as a app object?

class ModelFrame(ctk.CTkFrame):
    def __init__(self, master, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(master, **kwargs)
        # self.CTkLabel( text="OpenVessel  JMP Models", font=('Helvetica', 18, 'bold')).grid(row=0, column=0, padx=20, pady=20, sticky="nsew"
        # add widgets onto the frame, for example:
        self.label = ctk.CTkLabel(master=self, text="OpenVessel JMP Models")
        self.label.grid(row=0, column=0, padx=20)

if there is update to the docs for class examples it could lessen confusion for users

Research direction

Update the documentation to show class examples where needed, including how the widget receives its master; done when users can follow the tutorial without encountering the reported missing-master error.
