Description

Options

Options for this megawidget and its base classes are described below.

labelmargin

Initialisation option. If the labelpos option is not None, this specifies the distance between the label component and the rest of the megawidget. The default is 0.

labelpos

Initialisation option. Specifies where to place the label component. If not None, it should be a concatenation of one or two of the letters 'n', 's', 'e' and 'w'. The first letter specifies on which side of the megawidget to place the label. If a second letter is specified, it indicates where on that side to place the label. For example, if labelpos is 'w', the label is placed in the centre of the left hand side; if it is 'wn', the label is placed at the top of the left hand side; if it is 'ws', the label is placed at the bottom of the left hand side.

If None, a label component is not created. The default is None.

Components

Components created by this megawidget and its base classes are described below.

hull

This acts as the body for the entire megawidget. Other components are created as children of the hull to further specialise the widget. By default, this component is a Tkinter.Frame.

label

If the labelpos option is not None, this component is created as a text label for the megawidget. See the labelpos option for details. Note that to set, for example, the text option of the label, you need use the label_text component option. By default, this component is a Tkinter.Label.

labelchildsite

By default, this component is a Tkinter.Frame.

Methods

Only methods specific to this megawidget are described below. For a description of its inherited methods, see the manuals for its base classes.

interior()

Return the widget framing the interior space in which any children of this megawidget should be created. By default, this returns the hull component widget, if one was created, or None otherwise. A subclass should use the widget returned by interior() as the parent of any components or sub-widgets it creates. Megawidgets which can be further subclassed, such as Pmw.Dialog, should redefine this method to return the widget in which subclasses should create children. The overall containing widget is always available as hull.
