DESCRIPTION
PanedWindow is a widget that lays out children in a vertically or horizontally tiled format. The user can adjust the size of the panes, with a pane control sash created between children.
WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS
- -activator (read-only)
- By default, the control sash is either a button or a line depending upon the underlying operating system. This sash may be explicitly set using this option. If set to line then the sash consists of just a dividing line. Otherwise if set to button then it constists of a knob that can be dragged.
- -pad (read-only)
- Specifies additional space between the button of the sash and children.

- Specifies the side of the sash, which implies the layout: top or bottom (horizontal layout), left or right (vertical layout).
- -weights (read-only)
- Specifies how the weights specified when adding panes should be used. Must be extra or available. When using extra, only extra space is devided among the diffferent panes relative to their weight. When using available, all space is devided among the diffferent panes relative to their weight. Default value for weights is extra.
- -width (read-only)
- Specifies the width of the button of the sash. This option is ignored if the activator is set to line.
