 .. index:: single: packing (widgets)
 
 The packer is one of Tk's geometry-management mechanisms.    Geometry managers
-are used to specify the relative positioning of the positioning of widgets
-within their container - their mutual *master*.  In contrast to the more

 The size of any *master* widget is determined by the size of the "slave widgets"
 inside.  The packer is used to control where slave widgets appear inside the
