The ppaanneeddwwiinnddooww command creates a new window (given by the pathNameargument) and makes it into a panedwindow widget. Additional options,
described above, may be specified on the command line or in the optiondatabase to configure aspects of the panedwindow such as its default
background color and relief. The ppaanneeddwwiinnddooww command returns the path name of the new window.A panedwindow widget contains any number of panes, arranged horizon-
tally or vertically, according to the value of the -oorriieenntt option.
Each pane contains one widget, and each pair of panes is separated by a moveable (via mouse movements) sash. Moving a sash causes the widgets on either side of the sash to be resized. WWIIDDGGEETT CCOOMMMMAANNDD The ppaanneeddwwiinnddooww command creates a new Tcl command whose name is thesame as the path name of the panedwindow'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 panedwin-
dow widget's path name. Option and the args determine the exact behav-
ior of the command. The following commands are possible for panedwin-
dow widgets: pathName aadddd window ?window ...? ?option value ...?Add one or more windows to the panedwindow, each in a separate
pane. The arguments consist of the names of one or more windows followed by pairs of arguments that specify how to manage thewindows. Option may have any of the values accepted by the ccoonn-
ffiigguurree subcommand. pathName ccggeett option Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the ppaanneeddwwiinnddooww command. pathName ccoonnffiigguurree ?option? ?value option value ...? Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If nooption is specified, returns a list describing all of the avail-
able options for pathName (see TTkkCCoonnffiigguurreeIInnffoo 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 ormore 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 ppaanneeddwwiinnddooww command. pathName ffoorrggeett window ?window ...?Remove the pane containing window from the panedwindow. All
geometry management options for window will be forgotten. pathName iiddeennttiiffyy x yIdentify the panedwindow component underneath the point given by
x and y, in window coordinates. If the point is over a sash or a sash handle, the result is a two element list containing the index of the sash or handle, and a word indicating whether it is over a sash or a handle, such as {0 sash} or {2 handle}. If thepoint is over any other part of the panedwindow, the result is
an empty list. pathName pprrooxxyy ?args? This command is used to query and change the position of thesash proxy, used for rubberband-style pane resizing. It can take
any of the following forms: pathName pprrooxxyy ccoooorrdd Return a list containing the x and y coordinates of the most recent proxy location. pathname pprrooxxyy ffoorrggeett Remove the proxy from the display. pathName pprrooxxyy ppllaaccee x y Place the proxy at the given x and y coordinates. pathName ssaasshh ?args? This command is used to query and change the position of sashesin the panedwindow. It can take any of the following forms:
pathName ssaasshh ccoooorrdd index Return the current x and y coordinate pair for the sash given by index. Index must be an integer between 0 and 1less than the number of panes in the panedwindow. The
coordinates given are those of the top left corner of the region containing the sash. pathName ssaasshh ddrraaggttoo index x y This command computes the difference between the given coordinates and the coordinates given to the last ssaasshh ccoooorrdd command for the given sash. It then moves that sash the computed difference. The return value is the empty string. pathName ssaasshh mmaarrkk index x yRecords x and y for the sash given by index; used in con-
junction with later dragto commands to move the sash. pathName ssaasshh ppllaaccee index x y Place the sash given by index at the given coordinates. pathName ppaanneeccggeett window option Query a management option for window. Option may be any value allowed by the ppaanneeccoonnffiigguurree subcommand. pathName ppaanneeccoonnffiigguurree window ?option? ?value option value ...? Query or modify the management options for window. If no option is specified, returns a list describing all of the available options for pathName (see TTkkCCoonnffiigguurreeIInnffoo 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 moreoption-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. The following options are supported:-aafftteerr window
Insert the window after the window specified. windowshould be the name of a window already managed by path-
Name.-bbeeffoorree window
Insert the window before the window specified. windowshould be the name of a window already managed by path-
Name.-hheeiigghhtt size
Specify a height for the window. The height will be the outer dimension of the window including its border, ifany. If size is an empty string, or if -hheeiigghhtt is not
specified, then the height requested internally by the window will be used initially; the height may later beadjusted by the movement of sashes in the panedwindow.
Size may be any value accepted by TTkkGGeettPPiixxeellss.-mmiinnssiizzee n
Specifies that the size of the window cannot be made less than n. This constraint only affects the size of thewidget in the paned dimension - the x dimension for hor-
izontal panedwindows, the y dimension for vertical paned-
windows. May be any value accepted by TTkkGGeettPPiixxeellss.-ppaaddxx n
Specifies a non-negative value indicating how much extra
space to leave on each side of the window in the X-direc-
tion. The value may have any of the forms accepted by TTkkGGeettPPiixxeellss.-ppaaddyy n
Specifies a non-negative value indicating how much extra
space to leave on each side of the window in the Y-direc-
tion. The value may have any of the forms accepted by TTkkGGeettPPiixxeellss.-ssttiicckkyy style
If a window's pane is larger than the requested dimen-
sions of the window, this option may be used to position (or stretch) the window within its pane. Style is a string that contains zero or more of the characters nn, ss, ee or ww. The string can optionally contains spaces or commas, but they are ignored. Each letter refers to a side (north, south, east, or west) that the window will "stick" to. If both nn and ss (or ee and ww) are specified, the window will be stretched to fill the entire height (or width) of its cavity.-wwiiddtthh size
Specify a width for the window. The width will be the outer dimension of the window including its border, ifany. If size is an empty string, or if -wwiiddtthh is not
specified, then the width requested internally by the window will be used initially; the width may later beadjusted by the movement of sashes in the panedwindow.
Size may be any value accepted by TTkkGGeettPPiixxeellss. pathName ppaanneess Returns an ordered list of the widgets managed by pathName. RREESSIIZZIINNGG PPAANNEESS A pane is resized by grabbing the sash (or sash handle if present) anddragging with the mouse. This is accomplished via mouse motion bind-
ings on the widget. When a sash is moved, the sizes of the panes on each side of the sash, and thus the widgets in those panes, are adjusted. When a pane is resized from outside (eg, it is packed to expand and fill, and the containing toplevel is resized), space is added to the final (rightmost or bottommost) pane in the window.
