How to find out the current widget size in tkinter?

Question

I\'m using Python and Tkinter, and I need to know the current dimensions (width, height) of a widget.

I\'ve tried somewidget[\"width\"]

Answer 1

somewidget.winfo_width() and somewidget.winfo_height() give 1. You need to update Tk (issue tk.update()) before getting these values.
