Database Name: sashWidth
Database Class: SashWidth

The panedwindow command creates a new window (given by the pathName argument) and makes it into a panedwindow widget. Additional options, described above, may be specified on the command line or in the option database to configure aspects of the panedwindow such as its default background color and relief. The panedwindow command returns the path name of the new window.
A panedwindow widget contains any number of panes, arranged horizontally or vertically, according to the value of the -orient option. Each pane contains one widget, and each pair of panes is separated by a moveable (via mouse movements) sash. Moving a sash causes the widgets on either side of the sash to be resized.
The panedwindow command creates a new Tcl command whose
name is the same as the path name of the panedwindow's
window. This command may be used to invoke various operations
on the widget. It has the following general form:
pathName option ?arg arg ...?
PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as
the panedwindow widget's path name. Option and the args
determine the exact behavior of the command. The following
commands are possible for panedwindow widgets:
pathName add window ?window ...? ?option value ...?
Add one or more windows to the panedwindow, each in
a separate pane. The arguments consist of the
names of one or more windows followed by pairs of
arguments that specify how to manage the windows.
Option may have any of the values accepted by the
configure subcommand.
pathName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration
option given by option. Option may have any of the
values accepted by the panedwindow command.
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 path_Name (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 panedwindow command.
pathName forget window ?window ...?
Remove the pane containing window from the panedwindow.
All geometry management options for window
will be forgotten.
pathName identify x y
Identify the panedwindow component underneath the
point given by x and y, in window coordinates. If
the point is over a sash or a sash handle, the
result is a two element list containing the index
of the sash or handle, and a word indicating
whether it is over a sash or a handle, such as {0
sash} or {2 handle}. If the point is over any
other part of the panedwindow, the result is an
empty list.
pathName proxy ?args?
This command is used to query and change the position
of the sash proxy, used for rubberband-style
pane resizing. It can take any of the following
forms:
pathName proxy coord
Return a list containing the x and y coordinates
of the most recent proxy location.
pathname proxy forget
Remove the proxy from the display.
pathName proxy place x y
Place the proxy at the given x and y coordinates.
pathName sash ?args?
This command is used to query and change the position
of sashes in the panedwindow. It can take any
of the following forms:
pathName sash coord index
Return the current x and y coordinate pair
for the sash given by index. Index must be
an integer between 0 and 1 less than the
number of panes in the panedwindow. The
coordinates given are those of the top left
corner of the region containing the sash.
pathName sash dragto index x y This command
computes the difference between the given
coordinates and the coordinates given to the
last sash coord command for the given sash.
It then moves that sash the computed difference.
The return value is the empty string.
pathName sash mark index x y
Records x and y for the sash given by index;
used in conjunction with later dragto commands
to move the sash.
pathName sash place index x y
Place the sash given by index at the given
coordinates.
pathName panecget window option
Query a management option for window. Option may
be any value allowed by the paneconfigure subcommand.
pathName paneconfigure window ?option? ?value option value
...?
Query or modify the management options for window.
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.
The following options are supported:
pathName panes
Returns an ordered list of the widgets managed by
pathName.
A pane is resized by grabbing the sash (or sash handle if present) and dragging with the mouse. This is accomplished via mouse motion bindings on the widget. When a sash is moved, the sizes of the panes on each side of the sash, and thus the widgets in those panes, are adjusted.
When a pane is resized from outside (eg, it is packed to expand and fill, and the containing toplevel is resized), space is added to the final (rightmost or bottommost) pane in the window.
