DESCRIPTION

The scrolledcanvas command creates a scrolled canvas with additional options to manage horizontal and vertical scrollbars. This includes options to control which scrollbars are displayed and the method, i.e. statically or dynamically.

METHODS

The scrolledcanvas command creates a new Tcl command whose name is pathName. This command may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following general form:

pathName option ?arg arg ...?

Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands are possible for scrolledcanvas widgets:

WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS

pathName cget option

Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the scrolledcanvas command.

pathName childsite

Returns the child site widget path name.

pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?

Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no option is specified, returns a list describing all of the available options for pathName (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 sublist of the value returned if no option is specified). If one or more 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 scrolledcanvas command.

pathName justify direction

Justifies the canvas contents via the scroll bars in one of four directions: left, right, top, or bottom.
