Name:		<B>nbframe</B></I>
Class:		<B>tixNoteBookFrame</B></I>
</code></code></code></pre>
<UL>
The "note book frame" widget that displays ths tabs of the notebook.
Most of the display options of the page tabs are controlled by this
subwidget. For example, if you need to choose a different font to
display the tab names of the pages, the color of the inactive tabs or
the color behind the tabs, you can configure the options of the
<B>nbframe</B></I> subwidget.  See the manual page of
<B>tixNoteBookFrame(n)</B></I> for more details.
</UL>
<P>
In addition, all the page subwidgets created as a result of the
<B>add</B></I> command can be accessed by the <B>subwidget</B></I> command. They
are identified by the <B>pageName</B></I> parameter to the <B>add</B></I>
command.
</pre><HR>
</pre><H3>DESCRIPTION</H3>
<P>
The <B>tixNoteBook</B></I> command creates a new window (given by the
<I>pathName</I></B> argument) and makes it into a NoteBook widget.
Additional options, described above, may be specified on the command
line or in the option database to configure aspects of the
NoteBook widget such as its cursor and relief.
 
The NoteBook widget can be used to display many windows in a
limited space using a "notebook" metaphore. The notebook is divided
into a stack of pages (windows). At one time only one of these pages
can be shown. The user can navigate through these pages by choosing
the visual "tabs" at the top of the NoteBook widget.
</pre><H3>WIDGET COMMANDS</H3>
<P>
The <B>tixNoteBook</B></I> command creates a new Tcl command whose name is
command may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has
the following general form:
<pre>
<I>pathName option </I></B>?<I>arg arg ...</I></B>?
<P>
</pre>
<I>PathName</I></B> is the name of the command, which is the same as the
determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands
are possible for NoteBook widgets:
<DL>
<DT> <I>pathName <B>add<I> pageName </I></B>?<I>option value ...</I></B>?
</I></B>
<DD> Adds a new notebook page subwidget into the NoteBook widget.
Additional parameters may be supplied to configure this page
subwidget. Possible options are:
</DL>
<UL>
<DL>
<DT> <B>-anchor</B></I>
</I></B>
<DD> Specifies how the information in a tab (e.g. text or a bitmap) is to
be displayed in the widget. Must be one of the values <B>n</B></I>,
<B>ne</B></I>, <B>e</B></I>, <B>se</B></I>, <B>s</B></I>, <B>sw</B></I>, <B>w</B></I>, <B>nw</B></I>, or
<B>center</B></I>. For example, nw means display the information such that
its top-left corner is at the top-left corner of the widget.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <B>-bitmap</B></I>
</I></B>
<DD> Specifies a bitmap to display on the tab of this page. The bitmap is
displayed only if none of the <B>-label</B></I> or <B>-image</B></I> options are
specified.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <B>-createcmd</B></I>
</I></B>
<DD> Specifies a TCL command to be called the first time a page is shown on
the screen. This option can be used to delay the creation of the
contents of a page until necessary. Therefore, it can be used to speed
up interface creation process especially when there are a large number
of pages in a NoteBook widget.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <B>-image</B></I>
</I></B>
<DD> Specifies an image to display on the tab of this page. The image is
displayed only if the <B>-label</B></I> options is not specified.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <B>-justify</B></I>
</I></B>
<DD> When there are multiple lines of text displayed in a tab, this option
determines how the lines line up with each other. Must be one of left,
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <B>-label</B></I>
</I></B>
<DD> Specifies a text label string to display on the tab of this page subwidget.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <B>-raisecmd</B></I>
</I></B>
<DD> Specifies a TCL command to be called whenever this page is raised by
the user.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <B>-state</B></I>
</I></B>
<DD> Specifies whether this page can be raised by the user. Must be either
<B>normal</B></I> or <B>disabled</B></I>.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <B>-underline</B></I>
</I></B>
<DD> Specifies the integer index of a character to underline in the tab.

traversal for menu buttons and menu entries.  0 corresponds to the
first character of the text displayed in the widget, 1 to the next
character, and so on.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <B>-wraplength</B></I>
</I></B>
<DD> This option specifies the maximum line length of the label string on
this tab. If the line length of the label string exceeds this length,
it is wrapped onto the next line, so that no line is longer than the
specified length. The value may be specified in any of the standard
forms for screen distances. If this value is less than or equal to 0
then no wrapping is done: lines will break only at newline characters
in the text.
</DL>
</UL>
<DL>
<DT> <I>pathName <B>cget</B></I> <I>option</I></B>
</I></B>
<DD> Returns the current value of the configuration option given by

<I>option</I></B> is specified, returns a list describing all of the
available options for <I>pathName</I></B> (see <B>Tk_ConfigureInfo</B></I> for
information on the format of this list). If <I>option</I></B> is specified
with no <I>value</I></B>, 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 <I>option</I></B> is specified).  If
one or more <I>option-value</I></B> 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.  <I>Option</I></B> may have
any of the values accepted by the <B>tixNoteBook</B></I> command.
