.SH NAME

Wm - Tix's addition to the standard TK \fBwm\fR command.

'

'

'

.SH SYNOPSIS

.PP

\fBwm\fI capture \fIpathName \fR

.PP

\fBwm\fI release \fIpathName \fR

.PP

.SH DESCRIPTION

.PP

The \fBwm capture\fR and the \fBwm release\fR commands change the

toplevel attribute of Tk widgets.

.SH COMMAND OPTIONS

.PP

.TP

\fBwm capture \fIpathName\fR

'

Converts the toplevel window specified by \fIpathName\fR into a non-toplevel

widget. Normally this command is called to convert a \fBtoplevel\fR widget

into a \fBframe\fR widget. The newly-converted frame widget is

un-mapped from the screen. To make it appear inside its parent, you

must call a geometry manager (e.g. pack) explictly.

'

.TP

\fBwm release \fIpathName\fR

'

Makes the non-toplevel window specified by \fIpathName\fR into a toplevel

widget. Normally this command is called to convert a \fBframe\fR widget

into a \fBtoplevel\fR widget, but it can also be used on any

non-toplevel widget (e.g, button). The newly-converted toplevel window

is automatically mapped to the screen. To prevent it from appearing in

the screen, you must call \fBwm withdraw\fR immediately after calling

\fBwm release\fR.
