How do I access the width and height information on a PhotoImage() class object? I tried PhotoImage(...).winfo_width() and PhotoImage(...)["Width"]. Both of them didn't work.

The PhotoImage objects have a width and height method:

import Tkinter as tk

image_data = '''
    R0lGODlhEAAQAMQZAMPDw+zs7L+/v8HBwcDAwLW1teLi4t7e3uDg4MLCwuHh4e7u7t/f38TExLa2

'''

root = tk.Tk()
image = tk.PhotoImage(data=image_data)
dimensions = "image size: %dx%d" % (image.width(), image.height())
label = tk.Label(root, compound="top", image=image, text=dimensions)
label.pack()
root.mainloop()
