_________________________________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       A  ttk::notebook  widget  manages  a  collection of windows and displays a single one at a
       time.  Each content window is associated with a tab, which the user may select  to  change
       the currently-displayed window.

STANDARD OPTIONS

       -class                -cursor              -takefocus
       -style

       See the ttk_widget manual entry for details on the standard options.

WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

       Command-Line Name:-height
       Database Name:  height
       Database Class: Height

              If  present  and  greater  than zero, specifies the desired height of the pane area
              (not including internal padding or tabs).  Otherwise, the  maximum  height  of  all
              panes is used.

       Command-Line Name:-padding
       Database Name:  padding
       Database Class: Padding

              Specifies the amount of extra space to add around the outside of the notebook.  The
              padding is a list of up to four length specifications left top  right  bottom.   If
              fewer  than  four elements are specified, bottom defaults to top, right defaults to
              left, and top defaults to left.  In other words, a list of  three  numbers  specify
              the left, vertical, and right padding; a list of two numbers specify the horizontal
              and the vertical padding; a single number specifies the same padding  all  the  way
              around the widget.

       Command-Line Name:-width
       Database Name:  width
       Database Class: Width

              If present and greater than zero, specifies the desired width of the pane area (not
              including internal padding).  Otherwise, the maximum width of all panes is used.

TAB OPTIONS

       The following options may be specified for individual notebook panes:

       Command-Line Name:-state
       Database Name:  state
       Database Class: State

              Either normal, disabled or hidden.  If disabled, then the tab  is  not  selectable.
              If hidden, then the tab is not shown.

       Command-Line Name:-sticky
       Database Name:  sticky
       Database Class: Sticky

              Specifies  how  the  content window is positioned within the pane area.  Value is a
              string containing zero or more of the characters n, s, e, or w.  Each letter refers
              to a side (north, south, east, or west) that the content window will “stick” to, as
              per the grid geometry manager.

       Command-Line Name:-padding
       Database Name:  padding
       Database Class: Padding

              Specifies the amount of extra space to add between  the  notebook  and  this  pane.
              Syntax is the same as for the widget -padding option.

       Command-Line Name:-text
       Database Name:  text
       Database Class: Text

              Specifies a string to be displayed in the tab.

       Command-Line Name:-image
       Database Name:  image
       Database Class: Image

              Specifies an image to display in the tab.  See ttk_widget(3tk) for details.

       Command-Line Name:-compound
       Database Name:  compound
       Database Class: Compound

              Specifies how to display the image relative to the text, in the case both -text and
              -image are present.  See label(3tk) for legal values.

       Command-Line Name:-underline
       Database Name:  underline
       Database Class: Underline

              Specifies the integer index (0-based) of a  character  to  underline  in  the  text
              string.    The   underlined   character   is   used   for  mnemonic  activation  if
              ttk::notebook::enableTraversal is called.

TAB IDENTIFIERS

       The tabid argument to the following commands may take any of the following forms:

       •      An integer between zero and the number of tabs;

       •      The name of a content window;

       •      A positional specification of the form “@x,y”, which identifies the tab

       •      The literal string “current”, which identifies the currently-selected tab; or:

       •      The literal string “end”,  which  returns  the  number  of  tabs  (only  valid  for
              “pathname index”).

WIDGET COMMAND

       pathname add window ?options...?
              Adds a new tab to the notebook.  See TAB OPTIONS for the list of available options.
              If window is currently managed by the notebook but hidden, it is  restored  to  its
              previous position.

       pathname configure ?options?
              See ttk::widget(3tk).

       pathname cget option
              See ttk::widget(3tk).

       pathname forget tabid
              Removes the tab specified by tabid, unmaps and unmanages the associated window.

       pathname hide tabid
              Hides  the  tab  specified  by  tabid.   The  tab  will  not  be displayed, but the
              associated window remains managed by the notebook and its configuration remembered.
              Hidden tabs may be restored with the add command.

       pathname identify component x y
              Returns  the  name  of  the  element under the point given by x and y, or the empty
              string if no component is present at that location.  The following subcommands  are
              supported:

              pathname identify element x y
                     Returns the name of the element at the specified location.

              pathname identify tab x y
                     Returns the index of the tab at the specified location.

       pathname index tabid
              Returns  the  numeric  index  of the tab specified by tabid, or the total number of
              tabs if tabid is the string “end”.

       pathname insert pos subwindow options...
              Inserts a pane at the specified position.  pos is either the string end, an integer
              index,  or the name of a managed subwindow.  If subwindow is already managed by the
              notebook, moves it to the specified position.  See TAB  OPTIONS  for  the  list  of
              available options.

       pathname instate statespec ?script...?
              See ttk::widget(3tk).

       pathname select ?tabid?
              Selects  the  specified  tab.  The associated content window will be displayed, and
              the previously-selected window (if different) is unmapped.  If  tabid  is  omitted,
              returns the widget name of the currently selected pane.

       pathname state ?statespec?
              See ttk::widget(3tk).

       pathname tab tabid ?-option ?value ...
              Query  or  modify  the  options  of  the specific tab.  If no -option is specified,
              returns a dictionary of the tab  option  values.   If  one  -option  is  specified,
              returns   the   value  of  that  option.   Otherwise,  sets  the  -options  to  the
              corresponding values.  See TAB OPTIONS for the available options.

       pathname tabs
              Returns the list of windows managed by the notebook, in the index  order  of  their
              associated tabs.

KEYBOARD TRAVERSAL

       To enable keyboard traversal for a toplevel window containing a notebook widget $nb, call:
              ttk::notebook::enableTraversal $nb

       This will extend the bindings for the toplevel window containing the notebook as follows:

       •      Control-Tab selects the tab following the currently selected one.

       •      Control-Shift-Tab selects the tab preceding the currently selected one.

       •      Alt-K,  where K is the mnemonic (underlined) character of any tab, will select that
              tab.

       Multiple notebooks in a single toplevel may be enabled  for  traversal,  including  nested
       notebooks.   However,  notebook  traversal  only  works  properly  if all panes are direct
       children of the notebook.

VIRTUAL EVENTS

       The notebook widget generates a <<NotebookTabChanged>> virtual event after a  new  tab  is
       selected.

EXAMPLE

              pack [ttk::notebook .nb]
              .nb add [frame .nb.f1] -text "First tab"
              .nb add [frame .nb.f2] -text "Second tab"
              .nb select .nb.f2
              ttk::notebook::enableTraversal .nb

STYLING OPTIONS

       The  class  name  for  a  ttk::notebook  is  TNotebook.   The  tab  has  a  class  name of
       TNotebook.Tab

       Dynamic states: active, disabled, selected.

       TNotebook styling options configurable with ttk::style are:

       -background color
       -bordercolor color
       -darkcolor color
       -foreground color
       -lightcolor color
       -padding padding
       -tabmargins padding

       TNotebook.Tab styling options configurable with ttk::style are:

       -background color
       -bordercolor color
       -compound compound
       -expand padding
              Defines how much the tab grows in size.  Usually used  with  the  selected  dynamic
              state.   -tabmargins  should be set appropriately so that there is room for the tab
              growth.
       -font font
       -foreground color
       -padding padding

       Some options are only available for specific themes.
