How can I measure the width of a string rendering via tkFont without creating a window first?
You did mean to ask: “How can I measure the width of a string rendering via tkFont
without creating a window first?”
An the answer is: you can’t. Tk needs it’s root instance to do drawing and such.
you can however create it, measure your text, and immediately dispose it via .delete()
. This is so fast that the window doesn’t appear for me.
