Re: Stretchy grids in Tk

in reply to Stretchy grids in Tk

I don't have Tk on this machine to test this with, but you may want to try creating your widgets with -expand => 1 to expand the allocation rectangle to fill all the unfilled space, and -fill => 'both' to make the widget take up the full space of the allocation rectangle.

Let me know if there's any problems with this as I'll have my normal Tk-equipped machine again soon so could Play.

That's only for the `pack` manager, not for the `grid` manager. For the latter, you need to use the `-sticky` option, and set it to the value `nesw`. Abigail	[reply]
