Subject: Re: TK: Get the "usable" screensize"?

Hello Hidetoshi Nagai,

it works, thank you!

>  sh = root.winfo_screenheight
>  rx = root.winfo_rootx
>  ry = root.winfo_rooty  # maybe, taskbar height
>  usable_screenwidth  = w + rx * 2  # maybe, x_border * 2
>  usable_screenheight = h + ry
>  taskbar_height = sh - usable_screenheight


I didn't know that TkRoot#geometry exists and that it gives another
result than TkRoot.winfo_geometry.

At present, when I look for documentation of Ruby/Tk-methods, I look
into the TCL/TK documentation, e.g, for #winfo_geometry I look into:

http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TkCmd/winfo.htm#M15

Where must I look up methods of TkRoot, for example TkRoot.geometry?
In TCL-WM?
