Ascertaining attributes of a Tk object

[beretboy]

If I have a function that is being passed a Tk widget object, and only the object, how can I figure out various attributes (height, width, which position its in on the main window grid) about it?

This is suprisingly hard to find reading the Tk docs, but very clearly laid out in Chapter 13 of Mastering Perl/Tk:
$widget->cget(-option)
Will return the current setting of the option.
