NAME

       tixScrolledText - Create and manipulate Tix ScrolledText widgets

SYNOPSIS

       tixScrolledText  pathName  ?options?   -anchor   -background    -cursor
       -relief   -borderWidth

WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

       Specifies the desired height for the window, in pixels.  Specifies  the
       display policy of the scrollbars. The following values are recognized:

              auto ?+x? ?-x? ?+y? ?-y?
                     When  -scrollbar  is  set  to  "auto", the scrollbars are
                     shown only when needed. Additional modifiers can be  used
                     to  force a scrollbar to be shown or hidden. For example,
                     "auto -y" means the horizontal scrollbar should be  shown
                     when  needed  but the vertical scrollbar should always be
                     hidden; "auto +x" means the vertical scrollbar should  be
                     shown  when  needed  but  the horizontal scrollbar should
                     always be shown, and so on.

              both   Both scrollbars are shown

              none   The scrollbars are never shown.

DESCRIPTION

       The tixScrolledText command creates a new window (given by the pathName
       argument) and makes it into a ScrolledText widget.  Additional options,
       described above, may be specified on the command line or in the  option
       database  to  configure  aspects of the ScrolledText widget such as its
       cursor and relief.

WIDGET COMMANDS

       The tixScrolledText command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the
       same  as  the  path  name  of  the  ScrolledText 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
       ScrolledText widget’s path name.  Option and  the  args  determine  the
       exact behavior of the command.  The following commands are possible for
       ScrolledText widgets:

       pathName cget option
              Returns the current value of the configuration option  given  by
              option.  Option  may  have  any  of  the  values accepted by the
              tixScrolledText command.

       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
              tixScrolledText command.

       pathName subwidget  name ?args?
              When  no additional arguments are given, returns the pathname of
              the subwidget of the specified name.

              When no additional arguments are given, the  widget  command  of
              the specified subwidget will be called with these parameters.
