python : how to find out the size of a Tkinter window?

I have written a program and want to make it executable usingpyinstaller, but unfortunately, when starting the program, some window sizes are incorrect, because I set the window geometry like this:self.geometry('+{}+{}'.format(w, h))In this example, the main thing is that the dimensions of the window are set automatically.

When I run the program through IDEL, everything is displayed correctly, but when I run the .exe file, the dimensions move out. For everything to be fine, I need to know the automatic sizes given to the window. How can this be implemented?

    It's much simpler, use the wm_maxsize() method

    You can stretch an invisible widget to fill the screen and measure its dimensions using winfo_height and winfo_width. Here is an example for a button:

    import tkinter as tk
def func():
    x= button_place.winfo_width()
    y= button_place.winfo_height()
    print(x, y)
root= tk.Tk()
root.geometry('600x500')
button_place= tk.Button(root, text='', font='Times 15', command=func)
button_place.place(w=600, h=500)
root.mainloop()

    But it's usually used to size widgets. To determine the screen, you just needroot.geometry(). The first example was given just for additional information, you may need

    Use the methodgeometry()classtkinter.Tk(), example:

    import tkinter as tk
root= tk.Tk()
print(root.geometry())

    Everything works, just add brackets after geometry, otherwise it gives nonsense
