NAME

place - Geometry manager for fixed or rubber-sheet placement

SYNOPSIS

place option arg ?arg ...?

_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

The placer is a geometry manager for Tk. It provides simple

fixed placement of windows, where you specify the exact size

and location of one window, called the slave, within another

window, called the master. The placer also provides

rubber-sheet placement, where you specify the size and loca-

tion of the slave in terms of the dimensions of the master, so that the slave changes size and location in response to

changes in the size of the master. Lastly, the placer

allows you to mix these styles of placement so that, for

example, the slave has a fixed width and height but is cen-

tered inside the master.

place window option value ?option value ...?

Arrange for the placer to manage the geometry of a

slave whose pathName is window. The remaining argu-

ments consist of one or more option-value pairs that

specify the way in which window's geometry is managed.

Option may have any of the values accepted by the place

configure command.

place configure window ?option? ?value option value ...?

Query or modify the geometry options of the slave given by window. If no option is specified, this command returns a list describing the available options (see

Tk_ConfigureInfo 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 sub-

list of the value returned if no option is specified).

If one or more option-value pairs are specified, then

the command modifies the given option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string.

The following option-value pairs are supported:

-anchor where

Where specifies which point of window is to be positioned at the (x,y) location selected by the

-x, -y, -relx, and -rely options. The anchor

point is in terms of the outer area of window Tk Last change: 1

Tk Built-In Commands place(1T)

including its border, if any. Thus if where is se

then the lower-right corner of window's border

will appear at the given (x,y) location in the master. The anchor position defaults to nw.

-bordermode mode

Mode determines the degree to which borders within

the master are used in determining the placement

of the slave. The default and most common value

is inside. In this case the placer considers the

area of the master to be the innermost area of the

master, inside any border: an option of -x 0

corresponds to an x-coordinate just inside the

border and an option of -relwidth 1.0 means window

will fill the area inside the master's border.

If mode is outside then the placer considers the

area of the master to include its border; this mode is typically used when placing window outside

its master, as with the options -x 0 -y 0 -anchor

ne. Lastly, mode may be specified as ignore, in which case borders are ignored: the area of the master is considered to be its official X area, which includes any internal border but no external border. A bordermode of ignore is probably not very useful.

-height size

Size specifies the height for window in screen units (i.e. any of the forms accepted by

Tk_GetPixels). The height will be the outer

dimension of window including its border, if any.

If size is an empty string, or if no -height or

-relheight option is specified, then the height

requested internally by the window will be used.

-in master

Master specifies the path name of the window rela-

tive to which window is to be placed. Master must

either be window's parent or a descendant of window's parent. In addition, master and window

must both be descendants of the same top-level

window. These restrictions are necessary to guarantee that window is visible whenever master is visible. If this option isn't specified then the master defaults to window's parent.

-relheight size

Size specifies the height for window. In this

case the height is specified as a floating-point

number relative to the height of the master: 0.5 means window will be half as high as the master, Tk Last change: 2

Tk Built-In Commands place(1T)

1.0 means window will have the same height as the

master, and so on. If both -height and -relheight

are specified for a slave, their values are

summed. For example, -relheight 1.0 -height -2

makes the slave 2 pixels shorter than the master.

-relwidth size

Size specifies the width for window. In this case

the width is specified as a floating-point number

relative to the width of the master: 0.5 means window will be half as wide as the master, 1.0

means window will have the same width as the mas-

ter, and so on. If both -width and -relwidth are

specified for a slave, their values are summed.

For example, -relwidth 1.0 -width 5 makes the

slave 5 pixels wider than the master.

-relx location

Location specifies the x-coordinate within the

master window of the anchor point for window. In this case the location is specified in a relative

fashion as a floating-point number: 0.0

corresponds to the left edge of the master and 1.0 corresponds to the right edge of the master.

Location need not be in the range 0.0-1.0. If

both -x and -relx are specified for a slave then

their values are summed. For example, -relx 0.5

-x -2 positions the left edge of the slave 2 pix-

els to the left of the center of its master.

-rely location

Location specifies the y-coordinate within the

master window of the anchor point for window. In this case the value is specified in a relative

fashion as a floating-point number: 0.0

corresponds to the top edge of the master and 1.0 corresponds to the bottom edge of the master.

Location need not be in the range 0.0-1.0. If

both -y and -rely are specified for a slave then

their values are summed. For example, -rely 0.5

-x 3 positions the top edge of the slave 3 pixels

below the center of its master.

-width size

Size specifies the width for window in screen units (i.e. any of the forms accepted by

Tk_GetPixels). The width will be the outer width

of window including its border, if any. If size

is an empty string, or if no -width or -relwidth

option is specified, then the width requested internally by the window will be used. Tk Last change: 3

Tk Built-In Commands place(1T)

-x location

Location specifies the x-coordinate within the

master window of the anchor point for window. The location is specified in screen units (i.e. any of

the forms accepted by Tk_GetPixels) and need not

lie within the bounds of the master window.

-y location

Location specifies the y-coordinate within the

master window of the anchor point for window. The location is specified in screen units (i.e. any of

the forms accepted by Tk_GetPixels) and need not

lie within the bounds of the master window.

If the same value is specified separately with two dif-

ferent options, such as -x and -relx, then the most

recent option is used and the older one is ignored.

place forget window

Causes the placer to stop managing the geometry of win-

dow. As a side effect of this command window will be unmapped so that it doesn't appear on the screen. If

window isn't currently managed by the placer then the

command has no effect. This command returns an empty string.

place info window

Returns a list giving the current configuration of win-

dow. The list consists of option-value pairs in

exactly the same form as might be specified to the

place configure command.

place slaves window

Returns a list of all the slave windows for which win-

dow is the master. If there are no slaves for window then an empty string is returned. If the configuration of a window has been retrieved with

place info, that configuration can be restored later by

first using place forget to erase any existing information

for the window and then invoking place configure with the

saved information. FINE POINTS It is not necessary for the master window to be the parent of the slave window. This feature is useful in at least two situations. First, for complex window layouts it means you can create a hierarchy of subwindows whose only purpose is

to assist in the layout of the parent. The ``real chil-

dren'' of the parent (i.e. the windows that are significant for the application's user interface) can be children of the

parent yet be placed inside the windows of the geometry-

Tk Last change: 4

Tk Built-In Commands place(1T)

management hierarchy. This means that the path names of the

``real children'' don't reflect the geometry-management

hierarchy and users can specify options for the real chil-

dren without being aware of the structure of the geometry-

management hierarchy. A second reason for having a master different than the

slave's parent is to tie two siblings together. For exam-

ple, the placer can be used to force a window always to be

positioned centered just below one of its siblings by speci-

fying the configuration

-in sibling -relx 0.5 -rely 1.0 -anchor n -bordermode outside

Whenever the sibling is repositioned in the future, the slave will be repositioned as well. Unlike many other geometry managers (such as the packer) the

placer does not make any attempt to manipulate the geometry

of the master windows or the parents of slave windows (i.e. it doesn't set their requested sizes). To control the sizes of these windows, make them windows like frames and canvases that provide configuration options for this purpose.

EXAMPLE

Make the label occupy the middle bit of the toplevel, no matter how it is resized:

label .l -text "In the\nMiddle!" -bg black -fg white

place .l -relwidth .3 -relx .35 -relheight .3 -rely .35
