Muti-column menu

Hi All,

in my application I have a submenu (appearing both on the menu bar and with right-click) that contains many entries ~30. But it has to be in one submenu since they are various types of geometrical bodies to insert.
Is there a way to create a multi-column sub-menu in Tkinter?

Thanks in advance
Vasilis

Yes, all you need to do is

    menu.entryconfigure(i, columnbreak=1)

where i is the index number of the menu item that will appear at the top
of a new column.
