Setting Window Size using Pack Under Tkinter

I'm having trouble implementing my GUI using Tkinter......
I've been working through the Tkinter tutorials from 'Programming
Python' and am generally happy enough with the functionality and feel
of the results *but* - I can't see how to set the size of the root
window (or any top level window) and to stop it being resized........

Thanks for any help.

Short of actually trying it...... (when I get home I *will* try it)

Would the following work :

from Tkinter import *
gui=Tk()
Button(gui, text='A button', command=a_funct ion).pack()

####code####
gui.geometry("+ %d+%d" %(300, 100))
gui.resizable(0 ,0)
gui.mainloop()

??

If I recall correctly it ought to.... (mixing the pack and geometry
methods in the same GUI)...

Anyway - thanks.

Yes it will. Note however that doing gui.geometry("+ 300+100") will actually move
the window, not resize it. To resize the window, use gui.geometry("3 00x100")

More generally, the syntax for the geometry is "WxH+X+Y" where W and H are the
window's width and height resp. and X & Y the coordinates of its top-left corner
from the top-left corner of the screen.
If I recall correctly it ought to.... (mixing the pack and geometry
methods in the same GUI)...

Anyway - thanks.

I've been experimenting with passing a window handle from a wxPython app to a Tkinter app. The Tkinter app should embed a Toplevel window containing a Canvas widget in the wxPython app's Frame (see example below). Both apps run, but the Tkinter app's output doesn't appear. Can anyone see why this isn't working? Using wxPython-2.5.1/Python 2.3.3/Win98 and Win2000.

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 *
