_________________________________________________________________
The scrolledframe combines the functionallity of scrolling
with that of a typical frame widget to implement a clipable
viewing area whose visible region may be modified with the
scroll bars. This enables the contruction of visually larger
areas than which could normally be displayed, containing a
heterogenous mix of other widgets. Options exist which allow
full control over which scrollbars are displayed and the
method, i.e. statically or dynamically. The frame itself may
be accessed by the childsite method and then filled with
other widget combinations.
The scrolledframe command creates a new Tcl command whose
name is pathName. This command may be used to invoke various
operations on the widget. It has the following general
form:
pathName option ?arg arg ...?
Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command.
The following commands are possible for scrolledframe
widgets:
- xview
- yview
See the "canvas" manual entry for details on the associated
methods.
pathName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration option
given by option. Option may have any of the values
accepted by the scrolledframe command.
pathName childsite
Return the path name of the child site.
pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
Query or modify the configuration options of the
widget. If no option is specified, returns a list
describing all of the available options for pathName
(see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the format of
this list). If option is specified with no value, then
the command returns a list describing the one named
option (this list will be identical to the corresponding
sublist of the value returned if no option is
specified). If one or more option - value pairs are
specified, then the command modifies the given widget
option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the
command returns an empty string. Option may have any
of the values accepted by the scrolledframe command.
pathName justify direction
Justifies the frame contents via the scroll bars in one
of four directions: left, right, top, or bottom.
