Specifies the height of the scrolled text as an entire
unit. The value may be specified in any of the forms
acceptable to <B>Tk_GetPixels</B>. Any additional space
needed to display the other components such as labels,
margins, and scrollbars force the text to be
compressed. A value of zero along with the same value
for the width causes the value given for the visibleitems
option to be applied which administers
geometry constraints in a different manner.    The
default height is zero.

Specifies the the display mode to be used for the horizontal
scrollbar: <B>static,</B> <B>dynamic,</B> or <B>none</B>. In static
mode, the scroll bar is displayed at all times.

Specifies the widthxheight in characters and lines for
the text. This option is only administered if the
width and height options are both set to zero, otherwise
they take precedence. The default value is 80x24.
With the visibleitems option engaged, geometry constraints
are maintained only on the text. The size of
the other components such as labels, margins, and
scroll bars, are additive and independent, effecting
the overall size of the scrolled text. In contrast,
should the width and height options have non zero
values, they are applied to the scrolled text as a
whole. The text is compressed or expanded to maintain
the geometry constraints.

<H2><A NAME="sect8" HREF="#toc8"><B>DESCRIPTION</B></A></H2>

The <B>scrolledtext</B> command creates a scrolled text widget with
additional options to manage the scrollbars. This includes
options to control the method in which the scrollbars are
displayed, i.e. statically or dynamically. Options also
exist for adding a label to the scrolled text area and controlling
its position. Import/export of methods are provided
for file I/O.
<P>

<H2><A NAME="sect9" HREF="#toc9"><B>METHODS</B></A></H2>

The <B>scrolledtext</B> command creates a new Tcl command whose
name is <I>pathName</I>. This command may be used to invoke various
operations on the widget. It has the following general
form:
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <I>option</I> ?<I>arg</I> <I>arg</I> ...?
<P>
<I>Option</I> and the <I>arg</I>s determine the exact behavior of the command.
The following commands are possible for scrolledtext
widgets:

<I>pathName</I> <B>cget</B> <I>option</I><BR>

Returns the current value of the configuration option
given by <I>option</I>. <I>Option</I> may have any of the values
accepted by the <B>scrolledtext</B> command.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>childsite</B><BR>

Returns the child site widget path name.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>clear</B><BR>

Clear the text area of all characters.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>configure</B> ?<I>option</I>? ?<I>value</I> <I>option</I> <I>value</I> ...?
Query or modify the configuration options of the
widget. If no <I>option</I> is specified, returns a list
describing all of the available options for <I>pathName</I>
(see <B>Tk_ConfigureInfo</B> for information on the format of
this list). If <I>option</I> is specified with no <I>value</I>, 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 <I>option</I> is
specified). If one or more <I>option</I> - <I>value</I> 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. <I>Option</I> may have any
of the values accepted by the <B>scrolledtext</B> command.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>import</B> <I>filename</I> ?<I>index</I>?<BR>

Load the text from a file into the text area at the
<I>index</I>. The <I>filename</I> must exist.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>export</B> <I>filename</I><BR>

Write text to a file. If <I>filename</I> exists then contents
are replaced with text widget contents.
