+\fBplace configure \fIwindow \fR?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR?
+Query or modify the geometry options of the slave given by
+\fIwindow\fR.  If no \fIoption\fR is specified, this command returns a
+list describing the available options (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 option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case

+\fB\-anchor \fIwhere\fR
+\fIWhere\fR specifies which point of \fIwindow\fR is to be positioned
+at the (x,y) location selected by the \fB\-x\fR, \fB\-y\fR,
+\fB\-relx\fR, and \fB\-rely\fR options.
+The anchor point is in terms of the outer area of \fIwindow\fR
+including its border, if any.
+Thus if \fIwhere\fR is \fBse\fR then the lower-right corner of
+\fIwindow\fR's border will appear at the given (x,y) location
+in the master.
+The anchor position defaults to \fBnw\fR.
+.TP
+\fB\-bordermode \fImode\fR
+\fIMode\fR determines the degree to which borders within the
+master are used in determining the placement of the slave.
+The default and most common value is \fBinside\fR.
+In this case the placer considers the area of the master to
+be the innermost area of the master, inside any border:
+an option of \fB\-x 0\fR corresponds to an x-coordinate just
+inside the border and an option of \fB\-relwidth 1.0\fR
+means \fIwindow\fR will fill the area inside the master's
+border.
+
+If \fImode\fR is \fBoutside\fR then the placer considers
+the area of the master to include its border;
+this mode is typically used when placing \fIwindow\fR
+outside its master, as with the options \fB\-x 0 \-y 0 \-anchor ne\fR.
+Lastly, \fImode\fR may be specified as \fBignore\fR, in which
+case borders are ignored:  the area of the master is considered
+to be its official X area, which includes any internal border but
+no external border.  A bordermode of \fBignore\fR is probably
+not very useful.
