'\" The definitions below are for supplemental macros used in Tcl/Tk
'\" manual entries.
'\"
'\" .HS name section [date [version]]
'\"	Replacement for .TH in other man pages.  See below for valid
'\"	section names.
'\"
'\" .AP type name in/out [indent]
'\"	Start paragraph describing an argument to a library procedure.
'\"	type is type of argument (int, etc.), in/out is either "in", "out",
'\"	or "in/out" to describe whether procedure reads or modifies arg,
'\"	and indent is equivalent to second arg of .IP (shouldn't ever be
'\"	needed;  use .AS below instead)
'\"
'\" .AS [type [name]]
'\"	Give maximum sizes of arguments for setting tab stops.  Type and
'\"	name are examples of largest possible arguments that will be passed
'\"	to .AP later.  If args are omitted, default tab stops are used.
'\"
'\" .BS
'\"	Start box enclosure.  From here until next .BE, everything will be
'\"	enclosed in one large box.
'\"
'\" .BE
'\"	End of box enclosure.
'\"
'\" .VS
'\"	Begin vertical sidebar, for use in marking newly-changed parts
'\"	of man pages.
'\"
'\" .VE
'\"	End of vertical sidebar.
'\"
'\" .DS
'\"	Begin an indented unfilled display.
'\"
'\" .DE
'\"	End of indented unfilled display.

Name:	\fBheight\fR

.IP
Specifies the height of the scrolled text as an entire unit.
The value may be specified in any of the forms acceptable to 
\fBTk_GetPixels\fR.  Any additional space needed to display the other
components such as labels, margins, and scrollbars force the text
to be compressed.  A value of zero along with the same value for 
the width causes the value given for the visibleitems option 
to be applied which administers geometry constraints in a different
manner.  The default height is zero.

Specifies the the display mode to be used for the horizontal
scrollbar: \fBstatic, dynamic,\fR or \fBnone\fR.  In static mode, the 
scroll bar is displayed at all times.  Dynamic mode displays the
scroll bar as required, and none disables the scroll bar display.  The 
default is static.

Name:	\fBvisibleitems\fR
Class:	\fBVisibleItems\fR
Command-Line Switch:	\fB-visibleitems\fR
.fi
.IP
Specifies the widthxheight in characters and lines for the text.
This option is only administered if the width and height options
are both set to zero, otherwise they take precedence.  The default value
is 80x24.  With the visibleitems option engaged, geometry constraints 
are maintained only on the text.  The size of the other components such as 
labels, margins, and scroll bars, are additive and independent, 
effecting the overall size of the scrolled text.  In contrast,
should the width and height options have non zero values, they
are applied to the scrolled text as a whole.  The text 
is compressed or expanded to maintain the geometry constraints.

scroll bar is displayed at all times.  Dynamic mode displays the 
scroll bar as required, and none disables the scroll bar display.  The

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \fBiwidgets::scrolledtext\fR command creates 
a scrolled text widget with additional options to manage
the scrollbars.  This includes options to control the method
in which the scrollbars are displayed, i.e. statically or  dynamically.
Options also exist for adding a label to the scrolled text area and
controlling its position.  Import/export of methods are provided for 
file I/O.

.SH "METHODS"
.PP
The \fBiwidgets::scrolledtext\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose
name is \fIpathName\fR.  This
command may be used to invoke various
operations on the widget.  It has the following general form:
.DS C
\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
.DE
\fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs
determine the exact behavior of the command.  The following
commands are possible for scrolledtext widgets:

.SH "WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS"
.TP
\fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR
Returns the current value of the configuration option given
by \fIoption\fR.
\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBiwidgets::scrolledtext\fR
command.
.TP
\fIpathName \fBchildsite\fR
Returns the child site widget path name.
.TP
\fIpathName \fBclear\fR
Clear the text area of all characters.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR?
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.
If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of
the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for
information on the format of this list).  If \fIoption\fR is specified
with no \fIvalue\fR, 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 \fIoption\fR is specified).  If
one or more \fIoption\-value\fR 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.
\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBiwidgets::scrolledtext\fR
command.
.TP
\fIpathName \fBimport\fR \fIfilename\fR ?\fIindex\fR?
Load the text from a file into the text area at the \fIindex\fR.  The 
\fIfilename\fR must exist.  
.TP
\fIpathName \fBexport\fR \fIfilename\fR
Write text to a file.  If \fIfilename\fR exists then contents are 
replaced with text widget contents.
