Getting tkTable column width in pixels 1

[firelex]

Hello all!
Has anybody an idea how could I get tkTable to give as answer for such command :
set width [$table width 0]
the width of a column in pixels? The only thing I´ve managed to get is column width, but in characters.
Thanks

The only way I could get $tblname width $x to give me back pixels was to have first specified a width for that column in pixels. Bob Rashkin

Hello, Bong!
I´ve found a way for that without setting a width for the column in pixels first :
This command '$tblname bbox first ?last?' returns the bounding box for the specified cell (or range of cells) as a 4-tuple of x,y,width and height in pixels. So just the thing I´ve needed.
