| </pre><H2>DESCRIPTION</H2> |
| <P> |
| The <B>scrolledframe</B> 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 <B>childsite</B> |
| method and then filled with other widget combinations. |
| |
| </pre><H2>METHODS</H2> |
| <P> |
| The <B>scrolledframe</B> command creates a new Tcl command whose |
| name is <I>pathName</I>. This |
| command may be used to invoke various |
| operations on the widget. It has the following general form: |
| <pre> |
| <I>pathName option </I>?<I>arg arg ...</I>? |
| </pre> |
| <I>Option</I> and the <I>arg</I>s |
| determine the exact behavior of the command. The following |
| commands are possible for scrolledframe widgets: |

| <DL> |
| <DT> <I>pathName <B>cget</B> <I>option</I> |
| </I></B> |
| <DD> Returns the current value of the configuration option given |
| by <I>option</I>. |
| <I>Option</I> may have any of the values accepted by the <B>scrolledframe</B> |
| command. |
| </DL> |
| <DL> |
| <DT> <I>pathName <B>childsite</B> |
| </I></B> |
| <DD> Return the path name of the child site. |
| </DL> |
| <DL> |
| <DT> <I>pathName</I> <B>configure</B> ?<I>option</I>? ?<I>value option value ...</I>? |
| </I></B> |
| <DD> Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. |
| If no <I>option</I> is specified, returns a list describing all of |
| the available options for <I>pathName</I> (see <B>Tk_ConfigureInfo</B> for |
| information on the format of this list). If <I>option</I> is specified |
| with no <I>value</I>, 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 <I>option</I> is specified). If |
| one or more <I>option-value</I> 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. |
| <I>Option</I> may have any of the values accepted by the <B>scrolledframe</B> |
| command. |
| </DL> |
| <DL> |
| <DT> <I>pathName <B>justify <I>direction</I> |
| </I></B> |
| <DD> Justifies the frame contents via the scroll bars in one of four directions: |
| <B>left</B>, <B>right</B>, <B>top</B>, or <B>bottom</B>. |
