I am trying to change the width of a widget based on pixel size and not
on characters. I can't figure out how to do this.
Normally to change to the size of a widget it looks like:
widget.configur e(width = x)
However that is in characters, not in pixels. To retrieve the actual
size of a widget, I believe it is done with:
x = widget.winfo_wi dth()
Obviously that value can not be used in the configure statement. Is
there a way to dynamically change the width (and height) of a widget
using the winfo data?
Thanks,

look for "pack_propagate " on this page for one way to do it: http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/button.htm

Thanks!
I had actually seen this, but on the pythonware site where it looks
like this:
f = Frame(master, height=32, width=32)
f.pack_propagat e(0) # don't shrink
b = Button(f, text="Sure!")
b.pack(fill=BOT H, expand=1)
I guess somewhere along the way it became necessary to use the pack
function with propagate.As a result, I was having problems getting it
to work and thought I was doing something else wrong.
And I guess I also missed the fact that Tkinter doc updates are being
done on effbot. I just upgraded my python version after a long time,
and I'm finding out all kinds of interesting things. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

I'm trying to come up with a very simple Tkinter test application that
consists of a window with a drop-down menu bar at the top and a grid
of colored rectangles filling the remainder of the window. Mind you,
this is a contrived test application to help me understand Tkinter and
Python, not an actual application yet. I've trivially subclassed
Tkinter.Canvas into ColorCanvas, added a bunch of ColorCanvases...

As you add more items, say text lines, in Text widget, it gets too
slow and almost impractical to use on. Take idle for example. If the
text gets bigger(e.g. print
urllib.urlopen('http://www.amazon.com').read() ), it becomes too
sluggish to use as an "interactive" shell.
I have tried wxPython and it seems to have the same problem (from my
experience using PyCrust).
Is there any way to speed up Text widget, or should I look for another

Hi-
I've been goofing off with some basic recursive landscape generating
stuff, drawing the output to a tk window. You can run the program like
so:

Hello All,
I would like for a tkinter text widget to be aware of how big the frame that
contains it is, then I would like for it to reset its width to the
appropriate number of characters when this frame changes size.
I can get a cget("width") for the text, but this does not dynamically reflect
the visible width.
One way I can think of is getting the size of the font used in the widget then

I've got a tree control in Tkinter (using the ESRF Tree module) but I

Here's my code (its derived from one of the examples from the ESRF web

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
