.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The \fBscrollbar\fR command creates a new window (given by the
|
||
|
\fIpathName\fR argument) and makes it into a scrollbar widget.
|
||
|
Additional
|
||
|
options, described above, may be specified on the command line
|
||
|
or in the option database
|
||
|
to configure aspects of the scrollbar such as its colors, orientation,
|
||
|
and relief. The \fBscrollbar\fR command returns its
|
||
|
\fIpathName\fR argument. At the time this command is invoked,
|
||
|
there must not exist a window named \fIpathName\fR, but
|
||
|
\fIpathName\fR's parent must exist.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
A scrollbar is a widget that displays two arrows, one at each end of
|
||
|
the scrollbar, and a \fIslider\fR in the middle portion of the
|
||
|
scrollbar. A scrollbar is used to provide information about what
|
||
|
is visible in an \fIassociated window\fR that displays an object
|
||
|
of some sort (such as a file being edited or a drawing).
|
||
|
The position and size of the slider indicate which portion of the
|
||
|
object is visible in the associated window. For example, if the
|
||
|
slider in a vertical scrollbar covers the top third of the area
|
||
|
between the two arrows, it means that the associated window displays
|
||
|
the top third of its object.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
Scrollbars can be used to adjust the view in the associated window
|
||
|
by clicking or dragging with the mouse. See the BINDINGS section
|
||
|
below for details.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.SH "WIDGET COMMAND"
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The \fBscrollbar\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 scrollbar widgets:
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
\fIpathName \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 \fBscrollbar\fR
|
||
|
command.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
\fIpathName \fBget\fR
|
||
|
Returns a Tcl list containing four decimal values, which are
|
||
|
the current \fItotalUnits\fR, \fIwidnowUnits\fR, \fIfirstUnit\fR,
|
||
|
and \fIlastUnit\fR values for the scrollbar. These are the values
|
||
|
from the most recent \fBset\fR widget command on the scrollbar.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
\fIpathName \fBset\fR \fItotalUnits windowUnits firstUnit lastUnit\fR
|
||
|
This command is invoked to give the scrollbar information about the
|
||
|
widget associated with the scrollbar. \fITotalUnits\fR is an integer
|
||
|
value giving the total size of the object being displayed in the
|
||
|
associated widget. The meaning of one unit depends on the associated
|
||
|
widget; for example, in a text editor widget units might
|
||
|
correspond to lines of
|
||
|
text. \fIWindowUnits\fR indicates the total number of units that
|
||
|
can fit in the associated window at one time. \fIFirstUnit\fR
|
||
|
and \fIlastUnit\fR give the indices of the first and last units
|
||
|
currently visible in the associated window (zero corresponds to the
|
||
|
first unit of the object). This command should
|
||
|
be invoked by the associated widget whenever its object or window
|
||
|
changes size and whenever it changes the view in its window.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.SH BINDINGS
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The description below assumes a vertically-oriented scrollbar.
|
||
|
For a horizontally-oriented scrollbar replace the words ``up'', ``down'',
|
||
|
``top'', and ``bottom'' with ``left'', ``right'', ``left'',
|
||
|
and ``right'', respectively
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
A scrollbar widget is divided into five distinct areas. From top
|
||
|
to bottom, they are: the top arrow, the top gap (the empty space
|
||
|
between the arrow and the slider), the slider, the bottom gap,
|
||
|
and the bottom arrow. Pressing mouse button 1 in each area has
|
||
|
a different effect:
|
||
|
.TP 20
|
||
|
\fBtop arrow\fR
|
||
|
Causes the view in the associated window to shift up by one unit
|
||
|
(i.e. the object appears to move down one unit in its window).
|
||
|
If the button is held down the action will auto-repeat.
|
||
|
.TP 20
|
||
|
\fBtop gap\fR
|
||
|
Causes the view in the associated window to shift up by one
|
||
|
less than the number of units in the window
|
||
|
(i.e. the portion of the object that used to appear at the very
|
||
|
top of the window will now appear at the very bottom).
|
||
|
If the button is held down the action will auto-repeat.
|
||
|
.TP 20
|
||
|
\fBslider\fR
|
||
|
Pressing button 1 in this area has no immediate effect except to
|
||
|
cause the slider to appear sunken rather than raised. However,
|
||
|
if the mouse is moved with the button down then the slider will
|
||
|
be dragged, adjusting the view as the mouse is moved.
|
||
|
.TP 20
|
||
|
\fBbottom gap\fR
|
||
|
Causes the view in the associated window to shift down by one
|
||
|
less than the number of units in the window
|
||
|
(i.e. the portion of the object that used to appear at the very
|
||
|
bottom of the window will now appear at the very top).
|
||
|
If the button is held down the action will auto-repeat.
|
||
|
.TP 20
|
||
|
\fBbottom arrow\fR
|
||
|
Causes the view in the associated window to shift down by one unit
|
||
|
(i.e. the object appears to move up one unit in its window).
|
||
|
If the button is held down the action will auto-repeat.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
Note: none of the actions described above has an immediate impact
|
||
|
on the position of the slider in the scrollbar. It simply invokes
|
||
|
the command specified in the \fBcommand\fR option to notify the
|
||
|
associated widget that a change in view is desired. If the view is
|
||
|
actually changed then the associated widget must invoke the
|
||
|
scrollbar's \fBset\fR widget command to change what is displayed in
|
||
|
the scrollbar.
