Nat's answer is:

You need to bind a command to the Configure event, like this:

	proc config {w h} {
	   puts stdout ".canvas - width = $w, height = $h"
	}

	bind .canvas <Configure> "config %w %h"


.canvas - width = 224, height = 251
.canvas - width = 224, height = 151
.canvas - width = 224, height = 243
# and so forth
