Dear Monks

I am trying to resize the columns of a Tablematrix according to the size of the main window and the (variable number of columns)

This is what I have so far:

First I create a simple Tablematrix table, then I set the width of my main Window (full screen)

    my $sw = $mw->screenwidth;
    my $sw_new=int($sw*.99);
    $mw->geometry("${sw_new}x400+0+0");

I do my Tablematrix rezising here. The rezising of the table's column should be proportionally to the width of the window. If window is x and I have 2 columns, each column shold be x/2, if I have 3 columns each column should be x/3, etc...

    if ($number_of_columns_in_GUI=~2){
    my $col_new=int($sw*.50);
    $t->colWidth( 0=> $col_new,  1=> $col_new, 2=> 0);
    }
    if ($number_of_columns_in_GUI=~3){
    my $col_new=int($sw*.33);
    $t->colWidth( 0=> $col_new,  1=> $col_new, 2=> $col_new, 3=> 80);
    }

Of course, this doesn't work. Window width is not appropriate to set the (I think) character number of a tablematrix column.

Any idea on how I could solve this? Thank you
