+.SH NAME
+ttk::treeview \- hierarchical multicolumn data display widget
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBttk::treeview\fR \fIpathname \fR?\fIoptions\fR?
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+The treeview widget displays a hierarchical collection of items.
+Each item has a textual label, an optional image,
+and an optional list of data values.
+The data values are displayed in successive columns after
+the tree label.
+.PP
+The order in which data values are displayed may be controlled
+by setting the \fB-displaycolumns\fR widget option.
+The tree widget can also display column headings.
+Columns may be accessed by number or by symbolic names
+listed in the \fB-columns\fR widget option;
+see \fBCOLUMN IDENTIFIERS\fR.
+.PP
+Each item is identified by a unique name.
+The widget will generate item IDs if they are not supplied by the caller.
+There is a distinguished root item, named \fB{}\fR.
+The root item itself is not displayed;
+its children appear at the top level of the hierarchy.
+.PP
+Each item also has a list of \fItags\fR,
+which can be used to associate event bindings with individual items
+and control the appearance of the item.
+.\" .PP
+.\" @@@HERE: describe selection, focus item
+.PP
+Treeview widgets support vertical scrolling with the
+standard \fB-yscrollcommand\fR option and \fByview\fR widget command.
+They probably ought to support horizontal scrolling as well.

+.OP \-displaycolumns displayColumns DisplayColumns
+A list of column identifiers
+(either symbolic names or integer indices)
+specifying which data columns are displayed
+and the order in which they appear.
+.br
+If empty (the default), all columns are shown in the order given.

+One of \fBextended\fR, \fBbrowse\fR, or \fBnone\fR.
+.br
+If set to \fBextended\fR (the default), multiple items may be selected.
+If \fBbrowse\fR, only a single item will be selected at a time.
+If \fBnone\fR, the selection will not be changed.
+.br
+Note that application code and tag bindings can set the selection
+however they wish, regardless of the value of \fB-selectmode\fR.
+.OP \-show show Show

+which elements of the tree to display.
+.RS
