It's really boring but here you are: [ngeo@localhost src]$ python3 Python 3.4.2 (default, Dec 20 2014, 13:53:33) [GCC 4.8.2 20140120 (Red Hat 4.8.2-16)] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import tkinter >>> win=tkinter.Tk() >>> frame=tkinter.Frame(win, bg="blue", width=200, height=200) >>> butt1=tkinter.Button(fg="green", bg="black") >>> frame.grid() >>> butt1.grid() >>> butt1["width"] 0 >>> butt1["height"] 0 >>> win["width"] 0 >>> win["height"] 0 Needless to say the button has appeared and has non-zero size. > > What is the correct way to detect their current size? > > It is hard to fix code not posted. Just a question from first principles: Find a widget's current size. But the code example posted showed a working way to do the same thing. Unfortunately requiring a function call, and not in the doc online AFAICS but....doc is doc. > Terry Jan Reedy -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
