Drake, Jr.}{fdrake@acm.org} + +The \module{ScrolledText} module provides a class of the same name +which implements a basic text widget which has a vertical scroll bar +configured to do the ``right thing.'' Using the \class{ScrolledText} +class is a lot easier than setting up a text widget and scroll bar +directly. The constructor is the same as that of the +\class{Tkinter.Text} class. + +The text widget and scrollbar are packed together in a \class{Frame}, +and the methods of the \class{Pack} geometry manager are acquired from +the \class{Frame} object. This allows the \class{ScrolledText} widget +to be used directly to achieve most normal geometry management +behavior. + +Should more specific control be necessary, the following attributes +are available: + +\begin{memberdesc}[ScrolledText]{frame} + The frame which surrounds the text and scroll bar widgets. +\end{memberdesc} + +\begin{memberdesc}[ScrolledText]{vbar} + The scroll bar widget. +\end{memberdesc} + + \input{libturtle} |
