Adjusting Table to Frame through Scripter API

I have created tables using Python Scripter API on Scribus1.6.2
Now i need help regarding adjusting table to frame. For my code:
      table = scribus.createTable(start_x, start_y, width, estimated_height, rows, cols, table_name)
with the script I also inserted content to cell, adjusted cellwidth/cellheight based on content and applied styles.
but found that manual adjustment of fitting table to frame and adjusting rowheight,column width is still needed.
Now i want this table to fit to frame using scripter api. Since i could not find the method in the web documentation. Also Scribus Desktop Help doesnt have tables documented.
How will i do it. When i did ripgrep, on the sourcecode i got:
  table->adjustTableToFrame();
How can i use this in the scribus script anyway.

I've created a table with the UI.

I've found the commands "adjust table to frame" and "adjust frame to table" but I could not see any changes and I'm still wondering what they do.

In the scripter both commands are called when creating a table but there is no way to trigger them.
This having been said, it should be pretty easy to expose them.

But what are they doing?

when creating table the table frame could be larger than the table. In this case when i do "Adjust Table to Frame", the table resizes itself and fits it to the frame-size. In my case the table was small and had many crossed boxes indicating cell content overflows when i had actually tried to calculate the column widths based on the content, and applied the col widths to the table using
scribus.resizeTableColumn(col_idx, width, table)And I have to do "Adjust Table to Frame" to finally fit the table to frame, whose width/height were calculated correctly by me.
