I'm trying to get my canvas to resize to fill its frame within a window,
but I can't figure out how to handle the callback data from the window's
<Configure> properly. It has very strange behavior - resizing randomly
or growing by itself, shrinking to 0. The following works passably but
jumps around at random if you move the window and goes nuts if you add
the button (watch any wrapping):
from Tkinter import *
class testApp2:
def __init__( self, master ):
self.ma = master
self.f = Frame( self.ma )
self.f.pack()
self.cv = Canvas(self.f, width=25, height=25, bg='red')
self.cv.pack()
#self.b1 = Button( self.f, text='hello', command=None )
#self.b1.pack(s ide='bottom')
self.ma.bind('< Configure>', self.resize )
def resize( self, event ):
#print '(%d, %d)' % (event.width, event.height)
self.cv.configu re( width = event.width-4, height = event.height-4 )
root = Tk()
app = testApp2(root)
root.mainloop() 2 29057
You should just use 'pack' properly. Namely, the fill= and expand=
parameters. In this case, you want to pack(fill=BOTH, expand=YES).
For the button, you may want to use pack(anchor=E) or anchor=W to make
it stick to one side of the window.
The additional parameters for the button (both creation and packing)
give a geometry that is closer to the standard buttons in Windows 95
/ Windows 2000. Use those or not, as you see fit.
Here's the new program:
from Tkinter import *
class testApp2:
def __init__( self, master ):
self.ma = master
self.f = Frame( self.ma )
self.f.pack(fil l=BOTH, expand=YES)
self.cv = Canvas(self.f, width=25, height=25, bg='red')
self.cv.pack(fi ll=BOTH, expand=YES)
self.b1 = Button( self.f, text='Hello', height=1, width=10,
padx=0, pady=1)
self.b1.pack(si de=BOTTOM, anchor=E, padx=4, pady=4)
root = Tk()
app = testApp2(root)
root.mainloop()

Thanks you very much. I found something interesting though, the canvas's
width and height properties are not updated when it is resized by its
packing. Looks like an oversight to me, but I've just demonstrated that
I don't have a complete grasp of Tk, so... I can use a Configure
callback to keep track of the values, however.

self.cv.pack(fi ll=BOTH, expand=YES)
self.b1 = Button( self.f, text='Hello', height=1, width=10,
padx=0, pady=1, \
command = self.howbig )
self.b1.pack(si de=BOTTOM, anchor=S, padx=4, pady=4)
self.cv.bind('< Configure>', self.resize )
def howbig( self ):
print self.cv['width'], self.cv['height']

Is there a way to tell Tkinter that I'd like to allow a window to be
resizable, but only down to the point where no widget clipping occurs?
I know that to get the effect I want, I can always (1) draw the window
without any geometry setting, (2) fetch the geometry of the drawn
window, (3) set the minimum window size to be this size, and then (4)
reset the geometry of the window to be the size that I'd really like
the window to start off...

I derived two Frame classes and created a Canvas in each. I was extremely
surprised when frame1.canvas.delete('all') erased the image in
frame2.canvas!
I resolved my trouble by assigning tags and doing the deletion by tag. No
big deal.
I deduce from this behavior that there is a single database behind the
scenes for the Canvas implementation.

Below is a simple code snippet showing a Tkinter Window bearing a

When you shrink/resize the window the scrollbars adjust accordingly.
However, what I really want to happen is that the area of the canvas
that the scrollbars show (the Scrollregion) should expand as the window
grows. It doesn't currently do this. although, if the window shrinks

Hello,
I find when resizing browser window my web page breaks down. When I view and resize other work the window appears to hide the page, not causing it to break apart. What settings would help to control this? I have added some of what I think would be important code.

margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;

Is there any way of determining the location of a gif grom an arrow event? For example I have a canvas that has a gif that moves and I want the arrow to move the gif. But how does the arrow know where the gif is? There is event.x that tells where the curser is, but how can one determine the location based on a keyboard arrow event?

Hi,
I have a Tk() window "base_win = Tk()" with multiple frames on it
having a combination of widgets. If I click on say a button widget
which launches a new top level window "new_win = TopLevel()", I was
looking for a way for this "new_win" to always stay on top of
"base_win" till I close "new_win", as a result also not allowing any
selections to be made in the "base_win" .
Thanks
Rahul

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
