| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .PP |
| The \fBiwidgets::panedwindow\fR command creates a multiple paned window widget |
| capable of orienting the panes |
| either vertically or horizontally. Each pane is itself a frame acting |
| as a child site for other widgets. The border separating each pane |
| contains a sash which allows user positioning of the panes relative to |
| one another. |
| |
| .SH "METHODS" |
| .PP |
| The \fBiwidgets::panedwindow\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose |
| name is \fIpathName\fR. This |
| command may be used to invoke various |
| operations on the widget. It has the following general form: |
| .DS C |
| \fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR? |
| .DE |
| \fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs |
| determine the exact behavior of the command. |
| .PP |
| Many of the widget commands for the \fBpanedwindow\fR take as one argument an |
| indicator of which pane of the paned window to operate on. These indicators |
| are called \fIindexes\fR and allow reference and manipulation of panes |
| regardless of their current map state. Paned window indexes may be |
| specified in any of the following forms: |
| .TP 12 |
| \fInumber\fR |
| Specifies the pane numerically, where 0 corresponds to the nearest |
| (top/left-most) pane of the paned window. |
| .TP 12 |
| \fBend\fR |
| Indicates the farthest (bottom/right-most) pane of the paned window. |
| .TP 12 |
| \fIpattern\fR |
| If the index doesn't satisfy one of the above forms then this |
| form is used. \fIPattern\fR is pattern-matched against the tag of |
| each pane in the panedwindow, in order from left/top to right/left, |
| until a matching entry is found. The rules of \fBTcl_StringMatch\fR |
| are used. |
| |
| .SH "WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS" |
| .TP |
| \fIpathName \fBadd\fR \fItag\fR ?\fIoption value option value\fR? |
| Adds a new pane to the paned window on the far side (right/bottom). The |
| following options may be specified: |
| .RS |
| .TP |
| \fB-margin\fR \fIvalue\fR |
| Specifies the border distance between the pane and pane contents is any of |
| the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR. The default is 8 pixels. |
| .TP |
| \fB-minimum\fR \fIvalue\fR |
| Specifies the minimum size that a pane's contents may reach not |
| inclusive of twice the margin in any of the forms acceptable to |
| \fBTk_GetPixels\fR. The default is 10 pixels. |
| |
| The \fBadd\fR method returns the path name of the pane. |
| .RE |
| .TP |
| \fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR |
| Returns the current value of the configuration option given |
| by \fIoption\fR. |
| \fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBiwidgets::panedwindow\fR |
| command. |
| .TP |
| \fIpathName \fBchildsite\fR ?\fIindex\fR? |
| Returns a list of the child site path names or a specific child site given |
| an index. The list is constructed from the near side (left/top) to the far |
| side (right/bottom). |
| .TP |
| \fIpathName\fR \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR? |
| Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. |
| If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of |
| the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for |
| information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified |
| with no \fIvalue\fR, 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 \fIoption\fR is specified). If |
| one or more \fIoption\-value\fR 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. |
| \fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBiwidgets::panedwindow\fR |
| command. |
| .TP |
| \fIpathName \fBdelete\fR \fIindex\fR |
| Deletes a specified pane given an \fIindex\fR. |
| .TP |
| \fIpathName \fBfraction\fR \fIpercentage\fR \fIpercentage\fR ?\fIpercentage percentage ...\fR? |
| Sets the visible percentage of the panes. Specifies a set of |
| percentages which are applied to the visible panes from the near side |
| (left/top). The number of percentages must be equal to the current number |
| of visible (mapped) panes and add up to 100. |
| .TP |
| \fIpathName \fBhide\fR \fIindex\fR |
| Changes the visiblity of the specified pane, allowing a previously displayed |
| pane to be visually removed rather than deleted. |
| .TP |
| \fIpathName \fBindex\fR \fIindex\fR |
| Returns the numerical index corresponding to index. |
| .TP |
| \fIpathName \fBinsert \fIindex\fR \fItag\fR ?\fIoption value option value ...\fR? |
| Same as the \fBadd\fR command except that it inserts the new |
| pane just before the one given by \fIindex\fR, instead of appending |
| to the end of the panedwindow. The \fIoption\fR, and \fIvalue\fR |
| arguments have the same interpretation as for the \fBadd\fR widget |
| command. |
| .TP |
| \fIpathName \fBpaneconfigure\fR \fIindex\fR ?\fIoptions\fR? |
| This command is similar to the \fBconfigure\fR command, except that |
| it applies to the options for an individual pane, whereas \fBconfigure\fR |
| applies to the options for the paned window as a whole. |
| \fIOptions\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBadd\fR |
| widget command. If \fIoptions\fR are specified, options are modified |
| as indicated in the command and the command returns an empty string. |
| If no \fIoptions\fR are specified, returns a list describing |
| the current options for entry \fIindex\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for |
| information on the format of this list). |
| .TP |
| \fIpathName \fBreset\fR |
| Redisplays the pane window using default percentages. |
| .TP |
| \fIpathName \fBshow\fR \fIindex\fR |
| Changes the visiblity of the specified pane, allowing a previously hidden |
| pane to be displayed. |
| |
| .SH "NOTES" |
| .IP |
| Dynamic changing of the margin and or minimum options to values which |
| make the current configuration invalid will block subsequent sash |
| movement until the fractions are modified via the fraction method. |
| For example a panedwindow is created with three panes and the minimum |
| and margin options are at their default settings. Next the user moves |
| the sashes to compact the panes to one side. Now, if the minimum is |
| increased on the most compressed pane via the paneconfigure method to |
| a large enough value, then sash movement is blocked |
| until the fractions are adjusted. This situation is unusual and under |
| normal operation of the panedwindow, this problem will never occur. |
