GOAL
Build a tkinter GUI application to encode text by
rotating each letter forward in the alphabet by a xed
number of places.

/
SUBCLASSING TK
A good way to make GUI applications is to subclass
tkinter.Tk and put GUI setup code in __init__.
Then, application data can be stored as class attributes.
Commands and other callbacks can be methods.

/
ROWSPAN AND COLUMNSPAN
These options for .grid of a widget make it span
multiple columns or rows in the layout.

/
TKINTER VARIABLES
tkinter offers mutable variable classes designed to
work with widgets:
tkinter.StringVar — mutable string
tkinter.DoubleVar — mutable oat
tkinter.IntVar — mutable integer
All use .set(val) to set, .get() to get. They
automatically notify widgets that use them of changes.

/
VARIABLE CHANGE CALLBACKS
tkinter variables let us register a function to be
called whenver the value changes:
tkvar.trace_add("write",callback)
The function callback is called with three arguments
(internal name, internal index, operation). Usually you
want to ignore all of these arguments.

/
WINDOW TITLE
Tk.title(s) sets the window title (in title bar).

/
