DESCRIPTION

       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.

METHODS

       The iwidgets::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:

       See the "canvas" manual entry for details on the associated methods.

WIDGET-SPECIFIC 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 iwidgets::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 iwidgets::scrolledframe command.

       pathName justify direction
              Justifies the frame contents via the scroll bars in one of four  directions:  left,
              right, top, or bottom.
