DESCRIPTION
The scrolledframe combines the functionallity of scrolling with that of
a typical frame widget to implement a clipable viewing area whose visi-
ble region may be modified with the scroll bars. This enables the con-
truction of visually larger areas than which could normally be dis-
played, containing a heterogenous mix of other widgets. Options exist
which allow full control over which scrollbars are displayed and the
method, i.e. statically or dynamically. The frame itself may be
accessed by the childsite method and then filled with other widget com-
binations.
METHODS
The iwidgets::scrolledframe command creates a new Tcl command whose
name is pathName. This command may be used to invoke various opera-
tions on the widget. It has the following general form:
pathName option ?arg arg ...?
Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command. The
following commands are possible for scrolledframe widgets:
ASSOCIATED METHODS

See the "canvas" manual entry for details on the associated methods.
WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS
pathName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the iwid-
gets::scrolledframe command.
pathName childsite
Return the path name of the child site.
pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no
option is specified, returns a list describing all of the avail-
able options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information
on the format of this list). If option is specified with no
value, 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 option is specified). If one or
more option-value pairs are specified, then the command modifies
the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in this
case the command returns an empty string. Option may have any
of the values accepted by the iwidgets::scrolledframe command.
pathName justify direction
Justifies the frame contents via the scroll bars in one of four
directions: left, right, top, or bottom.
