Tkinter- Get window width and height. Please help

Thread Solved |
Hi,
There is a lot of code - so I have attached the entire thing as a zip file.
This is for a function plotter.
Basically, I need to track the changes in the root window size so I can resize the canvas and redraw all the plots.
I'm very new to Tkinter (this is a 1st year uni course for software engineering) and I'm struggling on how to obtain a width/height of the main window. I've set master.geometry("800x600") so I know it starts off at 800 and 600 - but I cant follow these changes.
Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. I think that if I recoded PlotApp and put everything in a frame that fills and expands and then tracked that frame I could do it- but is there an easier way because I think if I had to do it that way there would be a lot of recoding.

I notice you have the binding to the configure event rem'd out. Why?
Wait are you talking about the desktop width and height?

I'm trying to determing the width and height of the window with the title "Function Plotter".
I want to expand the canvas and redraw the plots when the window is resized.
