The first step is to create a root Menu. This is the single object that will contain all the menus (File
and Edit, in this case, along with all the menu options).

To create the File menu, with its single option, Quit, we first create another instance of Menu and

The Edit menu is created in just the same way. To make the menus appear on the window, we have
to use the following command:

In the next chapter, you’ll get a brief introduction to game programming using PyGame. This allows
all sorts of nice graphical effects to be achieved. However, if you just need to create simple graphics,
such as drawing shapes or plotting line graphs on the screen, you can use Tkinter’s Canvas interface
instead (see Figure 7-12).
