[Tkinter-discuss] winfo_width problem

[Gustavo Henrique Cervi]

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.
