NAME
       options - Standard options supported by widgets


DESCRIPTION
       This  manual entry describes the common configuration options supported
       by widgets in the Tk toolkit.  Every widget does not  necessarily  sup-
       port  every option (see the manual entries for individual widgets for a
       list of the standard options supported by that widget), but if a widget
       does  support  an  option  with one of the names listed below, then the
       option has exactly the effect described below.

       In the descriptions below, ``Command-Line Name'' refers to  the	switch
       used in class commands and configure widget commands to set this value.
       For example, if an option's  command-line  switch  is  -foreground  and
       there   exists  a  widget  .a.b.c,  then  the  command  .a.b.c  config-
       ure  -foreground black may be used to specify the value black  for  the
       option in the widget .a.b.c.  Command-line switches may be abbreviated,
       as long as the abbreviation is unambiguous.  ``Database	Name''	refers
       to  the	option's  name	in  the  option  database (e.g.  in .Xdefaults
       files).	``Database Class'' refers to the option's class value  in  the
       option database.  Specifies background color to use when drawing active
       elements.  An element (a widget or portion of a widget)	is  active  if
       the  mouse  cursor  is positioned over the element and pressing a mouse
       button will cause some action to occur.	If strict Motif compliance has
       been requested by setting the tk_strictMotif variable, this option will
       normally be ignored;  the normal background color will be used instead.
       For  some  elements  on Windows and Macintosh systems, the active color
       will only be used while mouse button 1 is  pressed  over  the  element.
       Specifies  a  non-negative value indicating the width of the 3-D border
       drawn around active elements.  See above for definition of active  ele-
       ments.  The value may have any of the forms acceptable to Tk_GetPixels.
       This option is typically only available in widgets displaying more than
       one  element  at  a time (e.g. menus but not buttons).  Specifies fore-
       ground color to use when drawing active elements.  See above for  defi-
       nition  of  active elements.  Specifies how the information in a widget
       (e.g. text or a bitmap) is to be displayed in the widget.  Must be  one
       of  the	values n, ne, e, se, s, sw, w, nw, or center.  For example, nw
       means display the information such that its top-left corner is  at  the
       top-left  corner  of the widget.  Specifies the normal background color
       to use when displaying the widget.  Specifies a bitmap  to  display  in
       the  widget, in any of the forms acceptable to Tk_GetBitmap.  The exact
       way in which the bitmap is displayed may be affected by	other  options
       such as anchor or justify.  Typically, if this option is specified then
       it overrides other options that specify a textual value to  display  in
       the  widget  but  this is controlled by the compound option; the bitmap
       option may be reset to an empty string to re-enable a text display.  In
       widgets	that support both bitmap and image options, image will usually
       override bitmap.  Specifies a non-negative value indicating  the  width
       of  the	3-D border to draw around the outside of the widget (if such a
       border is being drawn;  the relief option typically  determines	this).
       The  value may also be used when drawing 3-D effects in the interior of
       the widget.  The value may have any of the forms acceptable to  Tk_Get-
       Pixels.	 Specifies  the  mouse	cursor to be used for the widget.  The
       value may have any of the forms acceptable to Tk_GetCursor.   Specifies
       if  the widget should display text and bitmaps/images at the same time,
       and if so, where the bitmap/image should  be  placed  relative  to  the
       text.   Must  be  one  of the values none, bottom, top, left, right, or
       center.	For example, the (default) value none specifies that the  bit-
       map  or image should (if defined) be displayed instead of the text, the
       value left specifies that the bitmap or image should  be  displayed  to
       the left of the text, and the value center specifies that the bitmap or
       image should be displayed on top of  the  text.	 Specifies  foreground
       color  to use when drawing a disabled element.  If the option is speci-
       fied as an empty string (which is typically the case on monochrome dis-
       plays),	disabled  elements  are drawn with the normal foreground color
       but they are dimmed by drawing  them  with  a  stippled	fill  pattern.
       Specifies whether or not a selection in the widget should also be the X
       selection.  The value may have any of the forms	accepted  by  Tcl_Get-
       Boolean,  such  as  true, false, 0, 1, yes, or no.  If the selection is
       exported, then selecting in the widget deselects the current  X	selec-
       tion,  selecting outside the widget deselects any widget selection, and
       the widget will respond to selection retrieval requests when it	has  a
       selection.   The  default  is usually for widgets to export selections.
       Specifies the font to use when drawing text  inside  the  widget.   The
       value  may have any of the forms accepted by Tk_GetFont.  Specifies the
       normal foreground color to use when displaying the  widget.   Specifies
       the  color to display in the traversal highlight region when the widget
       does not have the input focus.  Specifies the color to use for the tra-
       versal  highlight rectangle that is drawn around the widget when it has
       the input focus.  Specifies a non-negative value indicating  the  width
       of  the	highlight  rectangle  to draw around the outside of the widget
       when it has the input focus.  The value	may  have  any	of  the  forms
       acceptable  to  Tk_GetPixels.  If the value is zero, no focus highlight
       is drawn around the widget.  Specifies an image to display in the  wid-
       get, which must have been created with the image create command.  Typi-
       cally, if the image option is specified then it overrides other options
       that specify a bitmap or textual value to display in the widget, though
       this is controlled by the compound option;  the	image  option  may  be
       reset to an empty string to re-enable a bitmap or text display.	Speci-
       fies the color to use as background in the area covered by  the	inser-
       tion cursor.  This color will normally override either the normal back-
       ground for the widget (or the selection	background  if	the  insertion
       cursor  happens	to  fall  in the selection).  Specifies a non-negative
       value indicating the width of the 3-D border to draw around the	inser-
       tion cursor.  The value may have any of the forms acceptable to Tk_Get-
       Pixels.	Specifies a non-negative integer value indicating  the	number
       of  milliseconds  the  insertion  cursor  should remain ``off'' in each
       blink cycle.  If this option is zero then the cursor doesn't blink:  it
       is  on all the time.  Specifies a non-negative integer value indicating
       the number of milliseconds the insertion cursor should remain ``on'' in
       each blink cycle.  Specifies a  value indicating the total width of the
       insertion cursor.  The value may have any of the  forms	acceptable  to
       Tk_GetPixels.   If a border has been specified for the insertion cursor
       (using the insertBorderWidth option), the border will be  drawn	inside
       the  width  specified  by  the  insertWidth option.  For widgets with a
       slider that can be dragged to adjust a value, such as scrollbars,  this
       option  determines  when  notifications	are  made about changes in the
       value.  The option's value must be a boolean of the  form  accepted  by
       Tcl_GetBoolean.	 If  the value is false, updates are made continuously
       as the slider is dragged.  If the value is true,  updates  are  delayed
       until  the  mouse  button is released to end the drag;  at that point a
       single notification is made (the value ``jumps'' rather	than  changing
       smoothly).   When  there are multiple lines of text displayed in a wid-
       get, this option determines how the lines  line	up  with  each	other.
       Must be one of left, center, or right.  Left means that the lines' left
       edges all line up, center means that the lines'	centers  are  aligned,
       and  right means that the lines' right edges line up.  For widgets that
       can lay themselves out with either a horizontal	or  vertical  orienta-
       tion,  such  as	scrollbars,  this  option  specifies which orientation
       should be used.	Must be either horizontal or vertical or an  abbrevia-
       tion  of  one  of these.  Specifies a non-negative value indicating how
       much extra space to request for the widget  in  the  X-direction.   The
       value  may have any of the forms acceptable to Tk_GetPixels.  When com-
       puting how large a window it needs, the widget will add this amount  to
       the  width  it  would  normally need (as determined by the width of the
       things displayed in the widget);  if the geometry manager  can  satisfy
       this  request,  the widget will end up with extra internal space to the
       left and/or right of what it displays inside.  Most  widgets  only  use
       this  option  for  padding  text:   if  they are displaying a bitmap or
       image, then they usually ignore padding options.  Specifies a non-nega-
       tive value indicating how much extra space to request for the widget in
       the Y-direction.  The value may have any of  the  forms	acceptable  to
       Tk_GetPixels.   When  computing how large a window it needs, the widget
       will add this amount to the height it would normally  need  (as	deter-
       mined  by  the  height  of the things displayed in the widget);	if the
       geometry manager can satisfy this request, the widget will end up  with
       extra  internal space above and/or below what it displays inside.  Most
       widgets only use this option for padding text:  if they are  displaying
       a bitmap or image, then they usually ignore padding options.  Specifies
       the 3-D effect desired for the widget.  Acceptable values  are  raised,
       sunken,	flat,  ridge,  solid, and groove.  The value indicates how the
       interior of the widget should appear relative  to  its  exterior;   for
       example,  raised means the interior of the widget should appear to pro-
       trude from the screen, relative to the exterior of the widget.	Speci-
       fies  the  number  of  milliseconds  a  button or key must be held down
       before it begins to auto-repeat.  Used, for example,  on  the  up-  and
       down-arrows in scrollbars.  Used in conjunction with repeatDelay:  once
       auto-repeat begins, this option determines the number  of  milliseconds
       between	auto-repeats.  Specifies the background color to use when dis-
       playing selected items.	Specifies a non-negative value indicating  the
       width  of  the 3-D border to draw around selected items.  The value may
       have any of the forms acceptable to Tk_GetPixels.  Specifies the  fore-
       ground  color  to  use  when  displaying  selected  items.  Specifies a
       boolean value that determines whether this widget controls the resizing
       grid  for  its top-level window.  This option is typically used in text
       widgets, where the information in the widget has a  natural  size  (the
       size  of a character) and it makes sense for the window's dimensions to
       be integral numbers of these units.  These natural window sizes form  a
       grid.  If the setGrid option is set to true then the widget will commu-
       nicate with the window manager so  that	when  the  user  interactively
       resizes	the  top-level window that contains the widget, the dimensions
       of the window will be displayed to the user in grid units and the  win-
       dow  size  will	be constrained to integral numbers of grid units.  See
       the section GRIDDED GEOMETRY MANAGEMENT in the wm manual entry for more
       details.   Determines  whether the window accepts the focus during key-
       board traversal (e.g., Tab and Shift-Tab).  Before setting the focus to
       a  window,  the	traversal  scripts  consult the value of the takeFocus
       option.	A value of 0 means that the window should be skipped  entirely
       during  keyboard traversal.  1 means that the window should receive the
       input focus as long as it is viewable (it and all of its ancestors  are
       mapped).   An  empty  value  for  the  option  means that the traversal
       scripts make the decision about whether or not to focus on the  window:
       the  current  algorithm	is to skip the window if it is disabled, if it
       has no key bindings, or if it is not viewable.  If the  value  has  any
       other  form, then the traversal scripts take the value, append the name
       of the window to it (with a separator space), and evaluate the  result-
       ing  string  as a Tcl script.  The script must return 0, 1, or an empty
       string:	a 0 or 1 value specifies whether the window will  receive  the
       input  focus,  and  an  empty  string  results  in the default decision
       described above.  Note: this interpretation of the  option  is  defined
       entirely  by  the  Tcl  scripts	that  implement traversal:  the widget
       implementations ignore the option entirely, so you can change its mean-
       ing if you redefine the keyboard traversal scripts.  Specifies a string
       to be displayed inside the widget.  The way in which the string is dis-
       played  depends on the particular widget and may be determined by other
       options, such as anchor or justify.  Specifies the name of a  variable.
       The  value  of the variable is a text string to be displayed inside the
       widget;	if the variable value changes then the widget  will  automati-
       cally  update  itself  to  reflect the new value.  The way in which the
       string is displayed in the widget depends on the particular widget  and
       may  be determined by other options, such as anchor or justify.	Speci-
       fies the color to use for the rectangular trough areas in widgets  such
       as  scrollbars  and  scales.   This option is ignored for scrollbars on
       Windows (native widget doesn't recognize this option).	Specifies  the
       integer	index  of a character to underline in the widget.  This option
       is used by the default bindings to  implement  keyboard	traversal  for
       menu buttons and menu entries.  0 corresponds to the first character of
       the text displayed in the widget, 1 to the next character, and  so  on.
       For  widgets  that can perform word-wrapping, this option specifies the
       maximum line length.  Lines that would exceed this length  are  wrapped
       onto  the  next	line,  so  that  no  line is longer than the specified
       length.	The value may be specified in any of the  standard  forms  for
       screen  distances.   If	this  value is less than or equal to 0 then no
       wrapping is done:  lines will break only at newline characters  in  the
       text.  Specifies the prefix for a command used to communicate with hor-
       izontal scrollbars.  When the view in the widget's window  changes  (or
       whenever  anything  else  occurs  that  could  change  the display in a
       scrollbar, such as a change in the total  size  of  the	widget's  con-
       tents),	the  widget  will  generate a Tcl command by concatenating the
       scroll command and two numbers.	Each of  the  numbers  is  a  fraction
       between	0  and 1, which indicates a position in the document.  0 indi-
       cates the beginning of the document, 1 indicates the  end,  .333  indi-
       cates  a  position  one	third the way through the document, and so on.
       The first fraction indicates the first information in the document that
       is  visible in the window, and the second fraction indicates the infor-
       mation just after the last portion that is  visible.   The  command  is
       then  passed  to  the  Tcl  interpreter	for  execution.  Typically the
       xScrollCommand option consists of the path name of a  scrollbar	widget
       followed  by  ``set'',  e.g. ``.x.scrollbar set'':  this will cause the
       scrollbar to be updated whenever the view in the  window  changes.   If
       this option is not specified, then no command will be executed.	Speci-
       fies the prefix for a command used to communicate with vertical scroll-
       bars.   This  option  is  treated in the same way as the xScrollCommand
       option, except that it is used for vertical scrollbars and is  provided
       by  widgets  that  support  vertical scrolling.	See the description of
       xScrollCommand for details on how this option is used.
