NAME
tixPanedWindow - Create and manipulate tixPanedWindow widgets
SYNOPSIS
tixPanedWindow pathName ?options?
STANDARD OPTIONS
The PanedWindow widget supports all the standard options of a frame widget. See the
options(n) manual entry for details on the standard options.
WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS
Name: command
Class: Command
Switch: -command
Specifies the command to invoke when the panes change their sizes. This command is
called with a list of integers that record the new sizes of the panes. The sizes of
the panes are listed in the order of the panes' creation.
[-dynamicgeometry dynamicGeometry] If set to true, the size of the PanedWindow will
dynamically change if the size of any of its panes changes. Otherwise, the size of
the PanedWindow will only increase when size of any of its panes changes and will
not decrease. The default value is true. [-handleactivebg handleActiveBg]
Specifies the active background color of the resize handles. When the mouse cursor
enters a resize handle, the resize handle will adopt the active background color.
[-handlebg handleBg] Specifies the normal background color of the resize handles.
[-height height] Specifies the desired height for the window.
[-orientation orientation] Specifies the orientation of the panes. Must be either
vertical or horizontal. [-paneborderwidth or -panebd paneBorderWidth] Specifies
the border width of the panes. [-panerelief paneRelief] Specifies the border
relief of the panes. [-separatoractivebg separatorActiveBg] Specifies the active
background color of the separators. When the user grabs a resize handle, the
separators will adopt the active background color. [-separatorbg separatorBg]
Specifies the normal background color of the separators. [-width width] Specifies
the desired width for the window.
SUBWIDGETS
All the pane subwidgets created as a result of the add command can be accessed by the
subwidget command. They are identified by the paneName parameter to the add command.
DESCRIPTION
The tixPanedWindow command creates a new window (given by the pathName argument) and makes
it into a PanedWindow widget. Additional options, described above, may be specified on
the command line or in the option database to configure aspects of the PanedWindow widget
such as its cursor and relief.
The PanedWindow widget allows the user to interactively manipulate the sizes of several
panes. The panes can be arranged either vertically or horizontally. Each individual pane
may have upper and lower limits of its size. The user changes the sizes of the panes by
dragging the resize handle between two panes.
WIDGET COMMAND
The tixPanedWindow command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the same as the path
name of the PanedWindow widget's window. This command may be used to invoke various
operations on the widget. It has the following general form:
pathName option ?arg arg ...?
PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as the frame widget's path name.
Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands
are possible for PanedWindow widgets:
pathName add paneName ?option value ...?
Adds a new pane subwidget with the name paneName into the PanedWindow widget.
Additional configuration options can be given to configure the new button
subwidget. Three configuration options are supported:
-after pane
Specifies that the new pane should be placed after pane in the list of panes
in this PanedWindow widget.
-at integer
Specifies the position of the new pane in the list of panes in this
PanedWindow widget. 0 means the first position, 1 means the second, and so
on. In addition, end means the end of the list.
-before pane
Specifies that the new pane should be placed before pane in the list of
panes in this PanedWindow widget.
-expand factor
Specifies the expand/shrink factor of this pane. Factor must be a non-
negative floating point number. The default value is 0.0. The expand/shrink
factor is used to calculate how much each pane should grow or shrink when
the size of the PanedWindow main window is changed. When the main window
expands/shrinks by n pixels, then pane i will grow/shrink by about n *
factor(i) / summation(factors), where factor(i) is the expand/shrink factor
of pane i and summation(factors) is the summation of the expand/shrink
factors of all the panes. If summation(factors) is 0.0, however, only the
last visible pane will be grown or shrunk.
-min integer
Specifies the minimum size, in pixels, of the new pane; the default is 0.
-max integer
Specifies the maximum size, in pixels, of the new pane; the default is
10000.
-size integer
Specifies the size, in pixels, of the new pane; if the -size option is not
given, or set to the empty string, the PanedWindow widget will use the
natural size of the pane subwidget.
pathName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may
be -min, -max and/or -size, or any option accepted by the Tk frame widget.
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 be any of
the non-static options of the PanedWindow widget.
pathName delete paneName
Removes the pane given by paneName and deletes its contents.
pathName forget paneName
Removes the pane given by paneName but does not delete its contents. This pane can
be later added back to the PanedWindow widget by the manage method.
pathName manage paneName ?option value ...?
Adds the pane given by paneName back to the PanedWindow widget. PaneName must be
already forgotten by the forget method. Additional option-value pairs, same as
those accepted by the add method, can be given to control the appearance and
position of the pane.
pathName panecget paneName option
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option in the pane
given by paneName. Option may have any of the values accepted by the add widget
command.
pathName paneconfigure paneName ?option? ?value ...?
When no option is given, prints out the values of all options of this pane. If
option is specified with no value, then the command returns the current value of
that option. If one or more option-value pairs are specified, then the command
modifies the given pane's option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the
command returns an empty string. Option may be -min, -max and/or -size, or any
option accepted by the Tk frame widget. The sizes of the panes may be changed as a
result of calling the paneconfigure command.
pathName panes
Returns a list of the names of all panes.
pathName setsize paneName newSize ?direction?
Sets the size of the pane specified by paneName to newSize. The direction parameter
specifies in which direction the pane should grow/shrink. Possible values are next:
the pane will grow or shrink by moving the boundary between itself and the pane to
its right or bottom; prev: the pane will grow or shrink by moving the boundary
between itself and the pane to its left or top.
pathName subwidget name ?args?
When no options are given, returns the pathname of the subwidget of the specified
name.
When options are given, the widget command of the specified subwidget will be called with
these options.
BINDINGS
The panes' sizes will be changed when the user drags the handles. The change in the panes'
sizes may be subjected to the -min, -max and -size options of the panes.
