Setting Window Size using Pack Under Tkinter

[Fuzzyman]

I'm having trouble implementing my GUI using Tkinter......
I've been working through the Tkinter tutorials from 'Programming
Python' and am generally happy enough with the functionality and feel
of the results *but* - I can't see how to set the size of the root
window (or any top level window) and to stop it being resized........

Thanks for any help.

from Tkinter import *
gui=Tk()

####code####
gui.geometry("+%d+%d" %(300, 100))
gui.resizable(0,0)

if __name__=='__main__':
gui.mainloop()

Short of actually trying it...... (when I get home I *will* try it)

Would the following work :

from Tkinter import *
gui=Tk()
Button(gui, text='A button', command=a_function).pack()

####code####
gui.geometry("+%d+%d" %(300, 100))
gui.resizable(0,0)
gui.mainloop()

??

If I recall correctly it ought to.... (mixing the pack and geometry
methods in the same GUI)...

Anyway - thanks.

Yes it will. Note however that doing gui.geometry("+300+100") will actually move
the window, not resize it. To resize the window, use gui.geometry("300x100")

More generally, the syntax for the geometry is "WxH+X+Y" where W and H are the
window's width and height resp. and X & Y the coordinates of its top-left corner
from the top-left corner of the screen.
