Description

Hi everyone,

I need to change the placement of my map on the layout.

So far I tried to change it with .pack(anchor= NW) but it didn't work. There is no change at all when I tried this.

I also tried to use .place(x=20,y=20) But when I tried this, map disappeared from the app.

Am I doing something wrong? Can you help me out please?

from tkinter import *
import tkintermapview

def callGui():

    root = Tk()  # title
    root.title("My app")
    root.geometry('1000x600')  # width/length

    my_label = LabelFrame(root)
    my_label.pack(pady=20)


    map_widget = tkintermapview.TkinterMapView(my_label, width=300,height=200,corner_radius=0)

    #set coordinates
    map_widget.set_position(41.002697, 39.716763)
    #set a zoom level
    map_widget.set_zoom(12)

    map_widget.pack(anchor=NW) #no change
    #map_widget.place(x=20,y=20)  # map disappears



    root.mainloop()
