Tkinter LabelFrame
The LabelFrame widget is used to draw a border around its child widgets. We can also display the title for the LabelFrame widget. It acts like a container which can be used to group the number of interrelated widgets such as Radiobuttons.
This widget is a variant of the Frame widget which has all the features of a frame. It also can display a label.
