How to enhance window size selection on a tkinter project including button-image as label? - python-3.x

Question

I'm currently working on a little project on python-3.x including some tkinter ressources. My program is made to display on a screen a list of pictures included in a directory, each picture is put on a button that is a sixth of the original image, and if we click on it, it display the image on his original size on a new window. The original window is set by the amount of pictures i put in the columns (i can choose in the code) and i ve made a scrollbar because i have to work with a lot of pictures.
But here is my problem, it's works fine except that if i change the window size, like reduce it for example, the buttons don't follow, they just vanish behind the window, and with the scrollbar.
I'm not particularly good in python so i was wondering that maybe by doing like a threading we could get the window size in live and then if the window size is inferior/superior of our columns of buttons, we could resize it and change the amount of columns then reload the page, but i will have to work with multiple image so it will take a lot of time.

for file in a:

photo = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)
w = photo.width()
L.append(int(w/6))
#print(L)
sumL = int(sum(L)/nbCol)
print(sumL)
p.append(SuperPhoto(photo, cv2.imread(file)))
for ligne in range(int(count/nbCol)):
for colonne in range(nbCol):
photo = p[ligne * nbCol + colonne]
button = Button(self.scrollable_canvas.interior, image=photo.miniature, command=photo.agrandir)
button.grid(row=ligne, column=colonne)
if __name__ == "__main__":
root = Tk()
root.title("VISU")
root.geometry("+0+0")
L= []
interface = Main_frame(fenetre_principale=root)
root.update_idletasks()
print(root.winfo_width())
print(root.geometry())
interface.mainloop()
So, I except this program to work like a classic directory display, with the columns that change automatically when we resize the window and with the scrollbar that follow it.
If you have any solutions it will really help me ..
You can try it, just put some jpeg pictures in a directory and change the folder variable with the link of your directory.
Thanks in advance for your help, if you have any questions to understand more clearly what i've said don't hesitate.

Answer 1

Each time the root window is resized, a <Configure> event is triggered. Catch it as follows:
def resize(event):
root.update_idletasks()
#update all image sizes here if needed
#all widgets can be 're-grided' here based on new width and height of root window
root.bind('<Configure>', resize)
If you want to ensure that your window cannot be resized, use the following:
root.resizable(False, False)
