Try using "winfo_reqheight(), winfo_reqwidth()" ... winfo_reqheight(), winfo_reqwidth(). Return the "natural" height (width) for self. The natural size is the minimal size needed to display the widget's contents, including padding, borders, etc. This size is calculated by the widget itself, based on the given options. The actual widget size is then determined by the widget's geometry manager, based on this value, the size of the widget's master, and the options given to the geometry manager.

Hi, i am trying to use winfo_width to determine widget's size and it always returns me 1 regardless of wheter widget is packed/gridded or not.

in native Tcl/Tk winfo width .widget works fine, i.e. returns actual width in pixels

direct tk call from python tk.call('winfo','width',widget._w) still returns 1

i guess it points to some bug in tkinter ...... what do you think?

Thanks. Evgeny.
