Use

thecanvas.winfo_width()

This works for any widget, not just canvas.


Here's a list of all the winfo_... methods, taken from Tkinter.py:

def winfo_atom(self, name, displayof=0):
def winfo_atomname(self, id, displayof=0):
def winfo_cells(self):
def winfo_children(self):
def winfo_class(self):
def winfo_colormapfull(self):
def winfo_containing(self, rootX, rootY, displayof=0):
def winfo_depth(self):
def winfo_exists(self):
def winfo_fpixels(self, number):
def winfo_geometry(self):
def winfo_height(self):
def winfo_id(self):
def winfo_interps(self, displayof=0):
def winfo_ismapped(self):
def winfo_manager(self):
def winfo_name(self):
def winfo_parent(self):
def winfo_pathname(self, id, displayof=0):
def winfo_pixels(self, number):
def winfo_pointerx(self):
def winfo_pointerxy(self):
def winfo_pointery(self):
def winfo_reqheight(self):
def winfo_reqwidth(self):
def winfo_rgb(self, color):
def winfo_rootx(self):
def winfo_rooty(self):
def winfo_screen(self):
def winfo_screencells(self):

def winfo_screenmmwidth(self):
def winfo_screenvisual(self):
def winfo_screenwidth(self):
def winfo_server(self):
def winfo_toplevel(self):
def winfo_viewable(self):
def winfo_visual(self):
def winfo_visualid(self):
def winfo_visualsavailable(self, includeids=0):

w = int(thecanvas.winfo_width())
