DESCRIPTION
The extbutton extends the behavior of the atomic Tk button by allowing text and an image or bitmap to coexist. The user may use the -image or -bitmap options to specify an image as well as the -imagepos option to specify image position relative to the text. Note that the extbutton is not intended to be used without an image/bitmap. There will be an emtpy space next to the text if no image/bitmap is specified.
METHODS
The extbutton 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 ...?
INHERITED METHODS
Each of the following methods are inherited from itk::Archetype. See that man page for details.pathName cget pathName component pathName config pathName configure
WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS
- pathName invoke
