+.SH DESCRIPTION
+A \fBttk::notebook\fR widget manages a collection of windows
+and displays a single one at a time.
+Each slave window is associated with a \fItab\fR,
+which the user may select to change the currently-displayed window.

+.SH "WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS"
+.OP \-height height Height
+If present and greater than zero,
+specifies the desired height of the pane area
+(not including internal padding or tabs).
+Otherwise, the maximum height of all panes is used.
+.OP \-padding padding Padding
+Specifies the amount of extra space to add around the outside
+of the notebook.
+The padding is a list of up to four length specifications
+\fIleft top right bottom\fR.
+If fewer than four elements are specified,
+\fIbottom\fR defaults to \fItop\fR,
+\fIright\fR defaults to \fIleft\fR, and
+\fItop\fR defaults to \fIleft\fR.
+.OP \-width width Width
+If present and greater than zero,
+specifies the desired width of the pane area
+(not including internal padding).
+Otherwise, the maximum width of all panes is used.
+.SH "TAB OPTIONS"
+The following options may be specified for individual notebook panes:
+.OP \-state state State
+Either \fBnormal\fR, \fBdisabled\fR or \fBhidden\fR.
+If \fBdisabled\fR, then the tab is not selectable.
+If \fBhidden\fR, then the tab is not shown.
+.OP \-sticky sticky Sticky
+Specifies how the slave window is positioned within the pane area.
+Value is a string containing zero or more of the characters
+\fBn, s, e,\fR or \fBw\fR.
+Each letter refers to a side (north, south, east, or west)
+that the slave window will
+.QW stick
+to, as per the \fBgrid\fR geometry manager.
+.OP \-padding padding Padding
+Specifies the amount of extra space to add between the notebook and this pane.
+Syntax is the same as for the widget \fB\-padding\fR option.
+.OP \-text text Text
+Specifies a string to be displayed in the tab.
+.OP \-image image Image
+Specifies an image to display in the tab.
+See \fIttk_widget(n)\fR for details.
+.OP \-compound compound Compound
+Specifies how to display the image relative to the text,
+in the case both \fB\-text\fR and \fB\-image\fR are present.
+See \fIlabel(n)\fR for legal values.
+.OP \-underline underline Underline
+Specifies the integer index (0-based) of a character to underline
+in the text string.
+The underlined character is used for mnemonic activation
+if \fBttk::notebook::enableTraversal\fR is called.
+.SH "TAB IDENTIFIERS"
+The \fItabid\fR argument to the following commands may take
+any of the following forms:
+.IP \(bu
+An integer between zero and the number of tabs;
+.IP \(bu
+The name of a slave window;
+.IP \(bu
+A positional specification of the form
+.QW @\fIx\fR,\fIy\fR ,
+which identifies the tab
+.IP \(bu
+The literal string
+.QW \fBcurrent\fR ,
+which identifies the currently-selected tab; or:
+.IP \(bu
+The literal string
+.QW \fBend\fR ,
+which returns the number of tabs
+(only valid for
+.QW "\fIpathname \fBindex\fR" ).
+.SH "WIDGET COMMAND"
+.TP
+\fIpathname \fBadd\fR \fIwindow\fR ?\fIoptions...\fR?
+Adds a new tab to the notebook.
+See \fBTAB OPTIONS\fR for the list of available \fIoptions\fR.
+If \fIwindow\fR is currently managed by the notebook but hidden,
+it is restored to its previous position.
+.TP
+\fIpathname \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoptions\fR?
+See \fIttk::widget(n)\fR.
+.TP
+\fIpathname \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR
+See \fIttk::widget(n)\fR.
+.TP
+\fIpathname \fBforget\fR \fItabid\fR
+Removes the tab specified by \fItabid\fR,
+unmaps and unmanages the associated window.
+.TP
+\fIpathname \fBhide\fR \fItabid\fR
+Hides the tab specified by \fItabid\fR.
+The tab will not be displayed, but the associated window
+remains managed by the notebook and its configuration remembered.
+Hidden tabs may be restored with the \fBadd\fR command.
+.TP
+\fIpathname \fBidentify\fR \fIcomponent\fR \fIx\fR \fIy\fR
+Returns the name of the element under the point given by \fIx\fR and \fIy\fR,
+or the empty string if no component is present at that location.
+The following subcommands are supported:
+.RS
+.TP
+\fIpathname \fBidentify\fR \fBelement\fR \fIx\fR \fIy\fR
+Returns the name of the element at the specified location.
+.TP
+\fIpathname \fBidentify\fR \fBtab\fR \fIx\fR \fIy\fR
+Returns the index of the tab at the specified location.
+.RE
+.TP
+\fIpathname \fBindex\fR \fItabid\fR
+Returns the numeric index of the tab specified by \fItabid\fR,
+or the total number of tabs if \fItabid\fR is the string
+.QW \fBend\fR .
+.TP
+\fIpathname \fBinsert\fR \fIpos\fR \fIsubwindow\fR \fIoptions...\fR
+Inserts a pane at the specified position.
+\fIpos\fR is either the string \fBend\fR, an integer index,
+or the name of a managed subwindow.
+If \fIsubwindow\fR is already managed by the notebook,
+moves it to the specified position.
+See \fBTAB OPTIONS\fR for the list of available options.
+.TP
+\fIpathname \fBinstate\fR \fIstatespec \fR?\fIscript...\fR?
+See \fIttk::widget(n)\fR.
+.TP
+\fIpathname \fBselect\fR ?\fItabid\fR?
+Selects the specified tab.
+The associated slave window will be displayed,
+and the previously-selected window (if different) is unmapped.
+If \fItabid\fR is omitted, returns the widget name of the
+currently selected pane.
+.TP
+\fIpathname \fBstate\fR ?\fIstatespec\fR?
+See \fIttk::widget(n)\fR.
+.TP
+\fIpathname \fBtab\fR \fItabid\fR ?\fI\-option \fR?\fIvalue ...\fR
+Query or modify the options of the specific tab.
+If no \fI\-option\fR is specified,
+returns a dictionary of the tab option values.
+If one \fI\-option\fR is specified,
+returns the value of that \fIoption\fR.
+Otherwise, sets the \fI\-option\fRs to the corresponding \fIvalue\fRs.
+See \fBTAB OPTIONS\fR for the available options.
+.TP
+\fIpathname \fBtabs\fR
+Returns the list of windows managed by the notebook.
+.SH "KEYBOARD TRAVERSAL"
+To enable keyboard traversal for a toplevel window
+containing a notebook widget \fI$nb\fR, call:
+.CS
+ttk::notebook::enableTraversal $nb
+.CE
+.PP
+This will extend the bindings for the toplevel window
+containing the notebook as follows:
+.IP \(bu
+\fBControl-Tab\fR selects the tab following the currently selected one.
+.IP \(bu
+\fBShift-Control-Tab\fR selects the tab preceding the currently selected one.
+.IP \(bu
+\fBAlt-K\fR, where \fBK\fR is the mnemonic (underlined) character
+of any tab, will select that tab.
+.PP
+Multiple notebooks in a single toplevel may be enabled for traversal,
+including nested notebooks.
+However, notebook traversal only works properly if all panes
+are direct children of the notebook.
+.SH "VIRTUAL EVENTS"
+The notebook widget generates a \fB<<NotebookTabChanged>>\fR
+virtual event after a new tab is selected.
+.SH "EXAMPLE"
+.CS
+pack [\fBttk::notebook\fR .nb]
+\.nb add [frame .nb.f1] \-text "First tab"
+\.nb add [frame .nb.f2] \-text "Second tab"
+\.nb select .nb.f2
