Tough Scrolling question with Tkinter

[Eugene Druker]

Hi Saqib,

AFAIU, you want to change the scrollregion, not the size. So try:

def _b1PressEvt(event):
    x0,y0,x1,y1 = canvas.config('scrollregion')[4]
    print x0,y0,x1,y1
    canvas.config(scrollregion=(int(x0),int(y0),int(x1)+100,int(y1)))

First click will show nothing, because first change keeps the scrollregion
entirely in the window.
