API to programmatically read columns widths

Novidis

Are there any API to get colums widths afetr the datable has been rendered?

Not via DataTables. You could use jQuery's $().width() method though.

In our application we need to know the witdh of each column or to define it programmatically
You can refer to this example: agrisophia.nubilo.it:52531/test_plugin
No widths are returned by jQuery (please refer to the log in the console)
at the same time the configuration
"columnDefs": [{ "width": 100, "targets": "_all" }]
seems not to be take in account

This is your code to display the columns width:

                var datatablecolumns = $('#View_Summary_Group_Info_Table_' + subcenter_index + ' tbody tr td');
                $.each(datatablecolumns, function( index, datatablecolumn ) {
                  //datatablecolumn.width = 50;
                  console.log('column:'+index+' width:'+datatablecolumn.width);
                });

You aren't using jQuery to get the column widths. Try this:

console.log('column:'+index+' width:'+ $(datatablecolumn).width());
