can not add buttons to 4 frams using tkinter

[jim newbe]

Can not add button, etc in form. Form has 4 frames and one canvas. Can generate form, but button is not on frame?
---------------------------------------

from tkinter import *
def Plot():
    root = Tk()
    root.geometry('1340x690+00+00') 
    root.title('Equity bSelection')
    # top border controls
    frame1 = Frame(width=1340, height=200, bg="light  green", colormap="new", borderwidth=0)
    #Button(frame1,text='Plot List', command=sys.exit).pack(side=LEFT)       #command=dispplotlist
    #but1=Button.config(height=3, font=('times',20,'bold')) 
    frame1.pack(side=TOP,padx=0,pady=0)   
 
    # bottom border time scale
    frame2 = Frame(width=1340, height=50, bg="light green", colormap="new", borderwidth=0)
    frame2.pack(side=BOTTOM,padx=0,pady=0)
 
    # left border controls
    frame3 = Frame(width=50, height=450, bg="orange", colormap="new", borderwidth=0)
    frame3.pack(side=LEFT,padx=0,pady=0)
 
    # right border scales for $, and non-$
    frame4 = Frame(width=100, height=450, bg="silver", colormap="new", borderwidth=0)
    frame4.pack(side=RIGHT,padx=0,pady=0)
 
    # charted lines
    canvis1 = Canvas(root, width=1240, height=450, bg='light gray', borderwidth=0)
    canvis1.pack(padx=0,pady=0)
Plot()
mainloop()

Why create separate frames? Shouldn't root be their parent?

from Tkinter import *
def Plot():
    root = Tk()
    root.geometry('1340x690+00+00') 
    root.title('Equity bSelection')
    # top border controls
    frame1 = Frame(root, width=1340, height=200, bg="light green", colormap="new", borderwidth=0)
    but1 = Button(frame1,text='Plot List', command=sys.exit)       #command=dispplotlist
    but1.config(height=3, font=('times',20,'bold'))
    but1.pack(side=LEFT)
    frame1.pack(side=TOP,padx=0,pady=0)   
 
    # bottom border time scale
    frame2 = Frame(root, width=1340, height=50, bg="light green", colormap="new", borderwidth=0)
    frame2.pack(side=BOTTOM,padx=0,pady=0)
 
    # left border controls
    frame3 = Frame(root, width=50, height=450, bg="orange", colormap="new", borderwidth=0)
    frame3.pack(side=LEFT,padx=0,pady=0)
 
    # right border scales for $, and non-$
    frame4 = Frame(root, width=100, height=450, bg="medium blue", colormap="new", borderwidth=0)
    frame4.pack(side=RIGHT,padx=0,pady=0)
 
    # charted lines
    canvis1 = Canvas(root, width=1240, height=450, bg='light gray', borderwidth=0)
    canvis1.pack(padx=0,pady=0)
Plot()
mainloop()

Your posted answer created button on form not on frame!

    from tkinter import *
    def Plot():
     root = Tk()
     root.geometry('1340x690+00+00')
     root.title('Equity bSelection')
     # top border controls
     frame1 = Frame(root, width=1340, height=50, bg="light green")
 
     but1 = Button(frame1,text='Plot List', command=sys.exit)       #command=dispplotlist
     but1.config(height=3, font=('times',20,'bold'))
     but1.pack(side=LEFT)
     frame1.pack(side=TOP)
 
     # bottom border time scale
     frame2 = Frame(root, width=1340, height=50, bg="light green", colormap="new", borderwidth=0)
     frame2.pack(side=BOTTOM,padx=0,pady=0)
 
     # left border controls
     frame3 = Frame(root, width=50, height=450, bg="orange", colormap="new", borderwidth=0)
     frame3.pack(side=LEFT,padx=0,pady=0)
 
     # right border scales for $, and non-$
     frame4 = Frame(root, width=100, height=450, bg="medium blue", colormap="new", borderwidth=0)
     frame4.pack(side=RIGHT,padx=0,pady=0)
 
     # charted lines
     canvis1 = Canvas(root, width=1240, height=450, bg='light gray', borderwidth=0)
     canvis1.pack(padx=0,pady=0)
Plot()
mainloop()

============================================
Your code work; created button on form and removed frame?

[bvdet]

I don't know what you are trying to do. Do you want a separate top level widget to contain the button?

[jim newbe]

There is 4 frames top, bottom, left, right, and canvas in center! Top and left frame will contain buttons, select lists etc. to control plot on canvas. Right frame will contain printed scales for $ amount and other units of measure.
Bottom frame will contain time scales, day, week etc.
Canvas well contain plot of equities and stock indicators.
The reason I want separate frames is to control vertical, and horizontal placement of controls with pack on each frame.
there well be no controls on canvas; only drawing of lines with colors and other attributes. I need 4 frames to control packing for each.

In my code the button seems to be on form and not on frame1; the green color is missing!

[bvdet]

You could arrange your frames and canvas on one top level window. I don't get it.
