</pre><H3>SUBWIDGETS</H3>
<P>
All the pane 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>paneName</B></I> parameter to the <B>add</B></I> command.
</pre><HR>
</pre><H3>DESCRIPTION</H3>
 
<P>
The <B>tixPanedWindow</B></I> command creates a new window (given by the
<I>pathName</I></B> 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 widget such as its cursor and relief.
<P>
The PanedWindow widget allows the user to interactively manipulate the
sizes of several panes. The panes can be arranged either vertically or
horizontally. Each individual pane may have upper and lower limits of
its size. The user changes the sizes of the panes by dragging the
resize handle between two panes.
</pre><H3>WIDGET COMMAND</H3>
<P>
The <B>tixPanedWindow</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
the exact behavior of the command.  The following commands are
possible for PanedWindow widgets:
<DL>
<DT> <I>pathName <B>add<I> paneName </I></B>?<I>option value ...</I></B>?
</I></B>
<DD> Adds a new pane subwidget with the name <I>paneName</I></B> into the
PanedWindow widget. Additional configuration options can be
given to configure the new button subwidget. Three configuration
options are supported:
</DL>
<UL>
<DL>
<DT> <B>-after</B></I> <I>pane</I></B>
</I></B>
<DD> Specifies that the new pane should be placed after <I>pane</I></B> in the
list of panes in this PanedWindow widget.
<B>-at</B></I> <I>integer</I></B>
Specifies the position of the new pane in the list of panes in this
PanedWindow widget. <B>0</B></I> means the first position, <B>1</B></I> means
the second, and so on. In addition, <B>end</B></I> means the end of the
list.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <B>-before</B></I> <I>pane</I></B>
</I></B>
<DD> Specifies that the new pane should be placed before <I>pane</I></B> in the
list of panes in this PanedWindow widget.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <B>-expand</B></I> <I>factor</I></B>
</I></B>
<DD> Specifies the <B>expand/shrink factor</B></I> of this pane. <I>Factor</I></B>
must be a non-negative floating point number. The default value is
0.0. The expand/shrink factor is used to calculate how much each pane
should grow or shrink when the size of the PanedWindow main window is
changed. When the main window expands/shrinks by <I>n</I></B> pixels, then
pane <I>i</I></B> will grow/shrink by about <I>n * factor(i) /
summation(factors)</B></I>, where <I>factor(i)</I></B> is the expand/shrink
factor of pane i and <I>summation(factors)</I></B> is the summation of the
expand/shrink factors of all the panes. If <I>summation(factors)</I></B> is
0.0, however, only the last visible pane will be grown or shrunk.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <B>-min</B></I> <I>integer</I></B>
</I></B>
<DD> Specifies the minimum size, in pixels, of the new pane; the default is 0.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <B>-max</B></I> <I>integer</I></B>
</I></B>
<DD> Specifies the maximum size, in pixels, of the new pane; the default is 10000.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <B>-size</B></I> <I>integer</I></B>
</I></B>
<DD> Specifies the size, in pixels, of the new pane; if the <B>-size</B></I>
option is not given, or set to the empty string, the PanedWindow
widget will use the natural size of the pane subwidget.
</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>. <I>Option</I></B> may be <B>-min</B></I>, <B>-max</B></I> and/or
<B>-size</B></I>, or any option accepted by the Tk frame widget.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <I>pathName <B>configure</B></I> ?<I>option</I></B>? <I>?value option value ...</I></B>?
</I></B>
<DD> Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.  If no
<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 be any
of the non-static options of the PanedWindow widget.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <I>pathName <B>delete</B></I> <I>paneName</I></B>
</I></B>
<DD> Removes the pane given by <I>paneName</I></B> and deletes its contents.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <I>pathName <B>forget</B></I> <I>paneName</I></B>
</I></B>
<DD> Removes the pane given by <I>paneName</I></B> but does not delete its
contents. This pane can be later added back to the PanedWindow widget
by the <B>manage</B></I> method.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <I>pathName <B>manage</B></I> <I>paneName </I></B>?<I>option value ...</I></B>?
</I></B>
<DD> Adds the pane given by <I>paneName</I></B> back to the PanedWindow widget.
<I>PaneName</I></B> must be already forgotten by the <B>forget</B></I>
method. Additional <I>option-value</I></B> pairs, same as those accepted by
the <B>add</B></I> method, can be given to control the appearance and
position of the pane.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <I>pathName <B>panecget</B></I> <I>paneName option</I></B>
</I></B>
<DD> Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
<I>option</I></B> in the pane given by <I>paneName</I></B>. <I>Option</I></B> may
have any of the values accepted by the <B>add</B></I> widget command.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <I>pathName <B>paneconfigure<I> paneName ?<I>option</I></B>? <I>?value ...</I></B>?
</I></B>
<DD> When no option is given, prints out the values of all options of this
pane. If <I>option</I></B> is specified with no <I>value</I></B>, then the
command returns the current value of that option. If one or more
<I>option-value</I></B> pairs are specified, then the command modifies the
command returns an empty string. <I>Option</I></B> may be <B>-min</B></I>,
<B>-max</B></I> and/or <B>-size</B></I>, or any option accepted by the Tk
frame widget. The sizes of the panes may be changed as a result of
calling the <B>paneconfigure</B></I> command.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <I>pathName <B>panes</B></I>
</I></B>
<DD> Returns a list of the names of all panes.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <I>pathName <B>setsize</B></I> <I>paneName newSize</I></B> ?<I>direction</I></B>?
</I></B>
<DD> Sets the size of the pane specified by <I>paneName</I></B> to
<I>newSize</I></B>. The <I>direction</I></B> parameter specifies in which
direction the pane should grow/shrink. Possible values are <B>next</B></I>:
the pane will grow or shrink by moving the boundary between itself and
the pane to its right or bottom; <B>prev</B></I>: the pane will grow or
shrink by moving the boundary between itself and the pane to its left
or top.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <I>pathName <B>subwidget <I> name ?args?</I></B>
