<H2><A NAME="sect6" HREF="#toc6"><B>DESCRIPTION</B></A></H2>
The <B>panedwindow</B> command creates a multiple paned window
widget capable of orienting the panes either vertically or
horizontally. Each pane is itself a frame acting as a child
site for other widgets. The border separating each pane
contains a sash which allows user positioning of the panes
relative to one another.
<P>
<H2><A NAME="sect7" HREF="#toc7"><B>METHODS</B></A></H2>
The <B>panedwindow</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.
<P>
Many of the widget commands for the <B>panedwindow</B> take as one
argument an indicator of which pane of the paned window to
operate on. These indicators are called <I>indexes</I> and allow
reference and manipulation of panes regardless of their
current map state. Paned window indexes may be specified in
any of the following forms:
<P>
<DL>
<DT><I>number</I> <DD> Specifies the pane numerically, where 0
corresponds to the nearest (top/left-most) pane
of the paned window.
<P>
</DD>
</DL>
<DL>
<DT><B>end</B> <DD> Indicates the farthest (bottom/right-most) pane
of the paned window.
<P>
</DD>
</DL>
<DL>
<DT><I>pattern</I> <DD> If the index doesn't satisfy one of the above
forms then this form is used. <I>Pattern</I> is
pattern-matched against the tag of each pane in
the panedwindow, in order from left/top to
right/left, until a matching entry is found.
The rules of <B>Tcl_StringMatch</B> are used.
<P>
</DD>
</DL>
<H2><A NAME="sect8" HREF="#toc8"><B>WIDGET-SPECIFIC</B> <B>METHODS</B></A></H2>
<I>pathName</I> <B>add</B> <I>tag</I> ?<I>option</I> <I>value</I> <I>option</I> <I>value</I>?
Adds a new pane to the paned window on the far side
(right/bottom). The following options may be specified:
<P>
<DL>
<DT><B>-margin</B> <I>value</I><DD>
Specifies the border distance between the pane and
pane contents is any of the forms acceptable to
<B>Tk_GetPixels</B>. The default is 8 pixels.
<P>
</DD>
</DL>
<DL>
<DT><B>-minimum</B> <I>value</I><DD>
Specifies the minimum size that a pane's contents
may reach not inclusive of twice the margin in any
of the forms acceptable to <B>Tk_GetPixels</B>. The
default is 10 pixels.
<P>
</DD>
</DL>
The <B>add</B> method returns the path name of the pane.
<P>
<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>panedwindow</B> command.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>childsite</B> ?<I>index</I>?<BR>
Returns a list of the child site path names or a
specific child site given an index. The list is constructed
from the near side (left/top) to the far side
(right/bottom).
<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>panedwindow</B> command.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>delete</B> <I>index</I><BR>
Deletes a specified pane given an <I>index</I>.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>fraction</B> <I>percentage</I> <I>percentage</I> ?<I>percentage</I> <I>percentage</I>
Sets the visible percentage of the panes. Specifies a
set of percentages which are applied to the visible
panes from the near side (left/top). The number of
percentages must be equal to the current number of
visible (mapped) panes and add up to 100.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>hide</B> <I>index</I><BR>
Changes the visiblity of the specified pane, allowing a
previously displayed pane to be visually removed rather
than deleted.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>index</B> <I>index</I><BR>
Returns the numerical index corresponding to index.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>insert</B> <I>index</I> <I>tag</I> ?<I>option</I> <I>value</I> <I>option</I> <I>value</I> ...?
Same as the <B>add</B> command except that it inserts the new
pane just before the one given by <I>index</I>, instead of
appending to the end of the panedwindow. The <I>option</I>,
and <I>value</I> arguments have the same interpretation as for
the <B>add</B> widget command.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>paneconfigure</B> <I>index</I> ?<I>options</I>?
<P>
This command is similar to the <B>configure</B> command,
except that it applies to the options for an individual
pane, whereas <B>configure</B> applies to the options for the
paned window as a whole. <I>Options</I> may have any of the
values accepted by the <B>add</B> widget command. If <I>options</I>
are specified, options are modified as indicated in the
command and the command returns an empty string. If no
<I>options</I> are specified, returns a list describing the
current options for entry <I>index</I> (see <B>Tk_ConfigureInfo</B>
for information on the format of this list).
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>reset</B><BR>
Redisplays the pane window using default percentages.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>show</B> <I>index</I><BR>
Changes the visiblity of the specified pane, allowing a
previously hidden pane to be displayed.
<P>
<H2><A NAME="sect9" HREF="#toc9"><B>NOTES</B></A></H2>
Dynamic changing of the margin and or minimum options
to values which make the current configuration invalid
will block subsequent sash movement until the fractions
are modified via the fraction method. For example a
panedwindow is created with three panes and the minimum
and margin options are at their default settings. Next
the user moves the sashes to compact the panes to one
side. Now, if the minimum is increased on the most
compressed pane via the paneconfigure method to a large
enough value, then sash movement is blocked until the
fractions are adjusted. This situation is unusual and
under normal operation of the panedwindow, this problem
will never occur.
