</pre>
    </dd>

    <dt id="description"><b>DESCRIPTION</b></dt>

    <dd>The <code><b>scrollutil::scrollsync</b></code> command creates a new
    window named <code><i>pathName</i></code> and of the class
    <code><b>Scrollsync</b></code>, and makes it into a <b>scrollsync</b>
    widget.&nbsp; Additional options, described below, may be specified on the
    command line or in the option database to configure aspects of the
    scrollsync widget such as its borderwidth and relief.&nbsp; The
    <code><b>scrollutil::scrollsync</b></code> command returns its
    <code><i>pathName</i></code> argument.&nbsp; At the time this command is
    invoked, there must not exist a window named <code><i>pathName</i></code>,
    but <code><i>pathName</i></code>'s parent must exist.</dd>

    <dd class="tm">A scrollsync is a mega-widget, designed for scrolling
    several widgets simultaneously.&nbsp; It is both horizontally and
    vertically scrollable, meaning that it supports the
    <code><b>-xscrollcommand</b></code> and <code><b>-yscrollcommand</b></code>
    configuration options and the associated Tcl command has the
    <code><b><a href="#xview">xview</a></b></code> and <code><b><a href=
    "#yview">yview</a></b></code> subcommands.&nbsp; Whenever the
    horizontal/vertical position of the view in the window of one of the
    horizontally/vertically scrollable widgets contained in the list passed to
    the <code><b><a href="#setwidgets">setwidgets</a></b></code> subcommand of
    the associated Tcl command changes, the view in the windows of all the
    other horizontally/vertically scrollable elements of that list is
    automatically adjusted accordingly, thus making sure that the view's
    position in these windows is kept in sync.</dd>

    <dd class="tm">
      A scrollsync widget is typically created within a <a href=
      "scrollarea.html">scrollarea</a>, like in the following example:

      <blockquote>
        <pre>
set sa [<a href="scrollarea.html#synopsis">scrollutil::scrollarea</a> ...]
set ss [<a href="#synopsis">scrollutil::scrollsync</a> $sa.ss ...]
$sa <a href="scrollarea.html#setwidget">setwidget</a> $ss

set lb1 [listbox $ss.lb1 ...]
set lb2 [listbox $ss.lb2 ...]
$ss <a href="#setwidgets">setwidgets</a> [list $lb1 $lb2]

grid $lb1 $lb2 -sticky news -padx {0 2}
grid rowconfigure    $ss 0   -weight 1
grid columnconfigure $ss all -weight 1

pack $sa -expand yes -fill both

    <dd>See the <b>options</b> manual entry for details on the standard Tk
    widget options.&nbsp; The <code><b>-background</b></code>,
    <code><b>-highlightbackground</b></code>,
    <code><b>-highlightcolor</b></code>, and
    <code><b>-highlightthickness</b></code> options are only supported by the
    Scrollutil package, but not by Scrollutil_tile.&nbsp; They have the same
    default values as the options of the same names for Tk frame widgets.&nbsp;
    The default values of the remaining standard options are:</dd>

<b>-borderwidth</b> 0 <b>-cursor</b> "" <b>-relief flat</b> <b>-xscrollcommand</b> "" <b>-yscrollcommand</b> ""

        <p>This option determines whether the scrollsync widget accepts the
        focus during keyboard traversal.&nbsp; It is almost identical to the
        standard option of the same name (see the <b>options</b> manual entry
        for details).&nbsp; The only difference is that not the scrollsync
        widget itself but the first element of the widget list passed to the
        <code><b><a href="#setwidgets">setwidgets</a></b></code> subcommand of
        the associated Tcl command will receive the focus during keyboard
        traversal with the standard keys (<code>Tab</code> and
        <code>Shift-Tab</code>).&nbsp; The default is <code>0</code>, being
        that a scrollsync widget is esentially a frame containing the
        above-mentioned widgets.</p>
      </blockquote>
    </dd>

    <dt id="widget_command"><b>WIDGET COMMAND</b></dt>

    <dd>
      The <code><b>scrollutil::scrollsync</b></code> command creates a new Tcl
      command whose name is <code><i>pathName</i></code>.&nbsp; This command
      may be used to invoke various operations on the widget.&nbsp; It has the
      following general form:

      <blockquote>
        <pre>
<i>pathName</i> <i>option</i> ?<i>arg</i> <i>arg</i> ...?
</pre>
      </blockquote>
    </dd>

    <dd><code><i>option</i></code> and the <code><i>arg</i></code>s determine
    the exact behavior of the command.&nbsp; The following commands are
    possible for scrollsync widgets:</dd>

    <dd>
      <dl>
        <dt class="tm" id="attrib"><code><i>pathName</i> <b>attrib</b>
        ?<i>name</i> ?<i>value</i> <i>name</i> <i>value</i> ...??</code></dt>

        <dd>Queries or modifies the attributes of the widget.&nbsp; If no
        <code><i>name</i></code> is specified, the command returns a list of
        pairs, each of which contains the name and the value of an attribute
        for <code><i>pathName</i></code>.&nbsp; If <code><i>name</i></code> is
        specified with no <code><i>value</i></code>, then the command returns
        the value of the one named attribute, or an empty string if no
        corresponding value exists (you can use the <code><b><a href=
        "#hasattrib">hasattrib</a></b></code> subcommand to distinguish this
        case from the one that the value of an <i>existing</i> attribute is an
        empty string).&nbsp; If one or more
        <code><i>name</i></code>-<code><i>value</i></code> pairs are specified,
        then the command sets the given widget attribute(s) to the given
        value(s); in this case the return value is an empty string.&nbsp; Each
        <code><i>name</i></code> may be an arbitrary string.</dd>

        <dt class="tm" id="cget"><code><i>pathName</i> <b>cget</b>
        <i>option</i></code></dt>

        <dd>Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
        <code><i>option</i></code>, which may have any of the values accepted
        by the <code><b>scrollutil::scrollsync</b></code> command.</dd>

        <dt class="tm" id="configure"><code><i>pathName</i> <b>configure</b>
        ?<i>option</i> ?<i>value</i> <i>option</i> <i>value</i>
        ...??</code></dt>

        <dd>Queries or modifies the configuration options of the widget.&nbsp;
        If no <code><i>option</i></code> is specified, the command returns a
        list describing all of the available options for
        <code><i>pathName</i></code> (see <code><b>Tk_ConfigureInfo</b></code>
        for information on the format of this list).&nbsp; If
        <code><i>option</i></code> is specified with no
        <code><i>value</i></code>, 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 <code><i>option</i></code> is
        specified).&nbsp; If one or more
        <code><i>option</i></code>-<code><i>value</i></code> pairs are
        specified, then the command modifies the given widget option(s) to have
        the given value(s); in this case the return value is an empty
        string.&nbsp; <code><i>option</i></code> may have any of the values
        accepted by the <code><b>scrollutil::scrollsync</b></code>
        command.</dd>

        <dt class="tm" id="hasattrib"><code><i>pathName</i> <b>hasattrib</b>
        <i>name</i></code></dt>

        <dd>Returns <code>1</code> if the attribute <code><i>name</i></code>
        exists and <code>0</code> otherwise.</dd>

        <dt class="tm" id="setwidgets"><code><i>pathName</i> <b>setwidgets</b>
        <i>widgetList</i></code></dt>

        <dd>Sets the widgets in whose windows the view's position is to be kept
        in sync.&nbsp; The <code><i>widgetList</i></code> argument must be a
        valid list consisting of path names of existing widgets.&nbsp; Whenever
        the horizontal/vertical position of the view in the window of one of
        the horizontally/vertically scrollable widgets contained in this list
        changes, the view in the windows of all the other
        horizontally/vertically scrollable elements of the list will be
        automatically adjusted accordingly, thus making sure that the view's
        position in these windows is kept in sync.&nbsp; The return value is
        the argument passed to the previous successful invocation of this
        subcommand, or an empty list if there was no successful
        <code><b>setwidgets</b></code> invocation before.</dd>

        <dd class="tm"><b>REMARK:</b>&nbsp; When one of the widgets whose path
        name is contained in <code><i>widgetList</i></code> gets destroyed,
        that widget is automatically removed from the internal list of widgets
        in whose windows the view's position is kept in sync.</dd>

        <dt class="tm" id="unsetattrib"><code><i>pathName</i>
        <b>unsetattrib</b> <i>name</i></code></dt>
