I have been struggling for the last couple of hours to get the column width working.
I implemented a soft autosizing function that works sufficiently.
What does not work, however, is when I have finished all my grids and just want to adapt the main window to cover all the TableMatrices (I have several, but the problem goes already for a single one). My legacy solution to this is to call reqwidth and then update the main window's geometry accordingly, to a certain limit. Geometry handlers should handle the rest.
But it seems that the reqwidth reported is not the actual widths after calling ->colWidth. I guess it is some pixel/character issue.

Appended some not working code for autosizing at the end of the above example:
Strangely enough, the reqwidth is updated (637 without->827 with colWidth), but not to the value required to show the whole TableMatrix.
use strict; # https://perlmonks.org/?node_id=11140544 use warnings; use Tk; use Tk::TableMatrix; my ($nrows, $ncolumns) = (10, 10); my $mw = MainWindow->new(); $mw->configure(-title=> "TableMatrix Demo"); $mw->geometry("600x800+0+0"); my $buttonbar = $mw->Frame(-bg => 'blue', )->pack(-fill => 'x'); $buttonbar->Button(-text => 'Exit', -command => sub{$mw->destroy}, )->pack(-side => 'right', -fill => 'x', -expand => 1); $buttonbar->Button(-text => 'Set Size', -command => sub{}, )->pack(-side => 'right', -fill => 'x', -expand => 1); $buttonbar->Button(-text => 'Remove Column', -command => sub{}, )->pack(-side => 'right', -fill => 'x', -expand => 1); my %MainHash; my $tMain=\%MainHash; #main data structure for the TableMatrix my $table_frame = $mw->Frame(-height=>'10',-width=>'10', -relief=>'groove',-borderwidth=>'3' )->pack(-expand=>1, -fill=>'both',-pady=>'0'); my @col_heads = map{"Col Head $_"}0..$ncolumns; ### ### Main TableMatrix object ### my $table = $table_frame->Scrolled('TableMatrix', -cols => 10, -rows =>10, #fixed number of rows!!! need to grow this dynamically +! #I forget how I did this, but it is possible # -width => 5, #minimum width in columns to be shown # -height => 10, #minimum number of rows to be shown - seems to limit! +! not Min!?? -titlerows => 1, -variable => $tMain, -selectmode => 'single', # -state => 'disabled', # no direct editing of cells -resizeborders => 'col', -bg => 'white', -rowheight => 1, #make row display more compact.... -bd => [0,1,0,1], -justify => 'left', -drawmode => 'compatible', -wrap => 1, -relief => 'solid', -scrollbars=>'se', -exportselection =>1, )->pack(-expand =>1, -fill=>'both'); foreach my $row (0..$nrows-1) { foreach my $col (0..$ncolumns-1) { $tMain->{"$row,$col"} = "row $row col $col"; } } set_col_width($table,@col_heads); #THIS WILL CAUSE A SCREEN REFRESH! sub set_col_width{ (my $table, my @col_head) = @_; my $i=0; foreach my $col (@col_head){ $table->colWidth($i++, length($col)+4); } } $mw->update; $table->update; $table_frame->update; #Needed my $rw = $table_frame->reqwidth; print "RW:".$rw."\n"; $mw->geometry($rw."x800+0+0"); MainLoop;
