<dt> <h3>Description</h3></dt><dd>
<p>
    A scrolled text consists of a standard text widget with optional
    scrollbars which can be used to scroll the text.  The
    scrollbars can be <em>dynamic</em>, which means that a scrollbar will
    only be displayed if it is necessary.  That is, if the text widget
    does not contain enough text (either horizontally or vertically),
    the scrollbar will be automatically hidden.  If it is displayed,
    the horizontal scrollbar is under the text widget.  Similarly, if
    it is displayed, the vertical scrollbar is to the right of the
    text widget.</p>

<p>    Row and column headers may also be displayed, which scroll in sync
    with the text widget and may be useful when displaying tabular
    data.  To assist in ensuring that columns line up when using a
    column header, a fixed width font should be used.</p>

<dt> <h3>Options</h3></dt><dd>
Options for this megawidget and its base
classes are described below.<p></p>
<a name=option.borderframe></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>borderframe
</strong></dt><dd>
Initialisation option. If true, the <strong>borderframe</strong> component will be created. The default is <strong>0</strong>.</p>


</dd></dl>
<a name=option.columnheader></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>columnheader
</strong></dt><dd>
Initialisation option. If true, the <strong>columnheader</strong> component will be created. The default is <strong>0</strong>.</p>


</dd></dl>
<a name=option.hscrollmode></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>hscrollmode
</strong></dt><dd>
The horizontal scroll mode.  If <strong>'none'</strong>, the horizontal scrollbar
    will never be displayed.  If <strong>'static'</strong>, the scrollbar will always
    be displayed.  If <strong>'dynamic'</strong>, the scrollbar will be displayed
    only if necessary. The default is <strong>'dynamic'</strong>.</p>


</dd></dl>
<a name=option.labelmargin></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>labelmargin
</strong></dt><dd>
Initialisation option. If the <strong>labelpos</strong> option is not <strong>None</strong>, this specifies the
        distance between the <strong>label</strong> component and the rest of the
        megawidget. The default is <strong>0</strong>.</p>


</dd></dl>
<a name=option.labelpos></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>labelpos
</strong></dt><dd>
Initialisation option. Specifies where to place the <strong>label</strong> component.  If not
        <strong>None</strong>, it should be a concatenation of one or two of the
        letters <strong>'n'</strong>, <strong>'s'</strong>, <strong>'e'</strong> and <strong>'w'</strong>.  The first letter
        specifies on which side of the megawidget to place the label. 
        If a second letter is specified, it indicates where on that
        side to place the label.  For example, if <strong>labelpos</strong> is <strong>'w'</strong>,
        the label is placed in the center of the left hand side; if
        it is <strong>'wn'</strong>, the label is placed at the top of the left
        hand side; if it is <strong>'ws'</strong>, the label is placed at the
        bottom of the left hand side.</p>
<p>        If <strong>None</strong>, a label component is not created. The default is <strong>None</strong>.</p>



</dd></dl>
<a name=option.rowcolumnheader></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>rowcolumnheader
</strong></dt><dd>
Initialisation option. If true, the <strong>rowcolumnheader</strong> component will be created. The default is <strong>0</strong>.</p>


</dd></dl>
<a name=option.rowheader></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>rowheader
</strong></dt><dd>
Initialisation option. If true, the <strong>rowheader</strong> component will be created. The default is <strong>0</strong>.</p>


</dd></dl>
<a name=option.scrollmargin></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>scrollmargin
</strong></dt><dd>
Initialisation option. The distance between the scrollbars and the text widget. The default is <strong>2</strong>.</p>


</dd></dl>
<a name=option.usehullsize></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>usehullsize
</strong></dt><dd>
Initialisation option. If true, the size of the megawidget is determined solely by the
    width and height options of the <strong>hull</strong> component.</p>
<p>    Otherwise, the size of the megawidget is determined by the width
    and height of the <strong>text</strong> component, along with the size and/or
    existence of the other components, such as the label, the
    scrollbars and the scrollmargin option.  All these affect the
    overall size of the megawidget. The default is <strong>0</strong>.</p>



</dd></dl>
<a name=option.vscrollmode></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>vscrollmode
</strong></dt><dd>
The vertical scroll mode.  If <strong>'none'</strong>, the vertical scrollbar
    will never be displayed.  If <strong>'static'</strong>, the scrollbar will always
    be displayed.  If <strong>'dynamic'</strong>, the scrollbar will be displayed
    only if necessary. The default is <strong>'dynamic'</strong>.</p>


</dd></dl>
</dd>
<dt> <h3>Components</h3></dt><dd>
Components created by this megawidget and its base
classes are described below.<p></p>
<a name=component.borderframe></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>borderframe
</strong></dt><dd>
A frame widget which snuggly fits around the text widget, to give
    the appearance of a text border.  It is created with a border so
    that the text widget, which is created without a border, looks
    like it has a border. By default, this component is a Tkinter.Frame.</p>


</dd></dl>
<a name=component.columnheader></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>columnheader
</strong></dt><dd>
A text widget with a default height of 1 displayed above the main
    text widget and which scrolls horizontally in sync with the
    horizontal scrolling of the main text widget. By default, this component is a Tkinter.Text. Its component group is <strong>Header</strong>.</p>


</dd></dl>
<a name=component.horizscrollbar></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>horizscrollbar
</strong></dt><dd>
The horizontal scrollbar. By default, this component is a Tkinter.Scrollbar. Its component group is <strong>Scrollbar</strong>.</p>


</dd></dl>
<a name=component.hull></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>hull
</strong></dt><dd>
This acts as the body for the entire megawidget.  Other components
    are created as children of the hull to further specialise this
    class. By default, this component is a Tkinter.Frame.</p>


</dd></dl>
<a name=component.label></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>label
</strong></dt><dd>
If the <strong>labelpos</strong> option is not <strong>None</strong>, this component is
        created as a text label for the megawidget.  See the
        <strong>labelpos</strong> option for details.  Note that to set, for example,
        the <strong>text</strong> option of the label, you need to use the <strong>label_text</strong>
        component option. By default, this component is a Tkinter.Label.</p>


</dd></dl>
<a name=component.rowcolumnheader></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>rowcolumnheader
</strong></dt><dd>
A text widget displayed to the top left of the main text widget,
    above the row header and to the left of the column header if they
    exist.  The widget is not scrolled  automatically. By default, this component is a Tkinter.Text. Its component group is <strong>Header</strong>.</p>


</dd></dl>
<a name=component.rowheader></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>rowheader
</strong></dt><dd>
A text widget displayed to the left of the main text widget and
    which scrolls vertically in sync with the vertical scrolling of
    the main text widget. By default, this component is a Tkinter.Text. Its component group is <strong>Header</strong>.</p>


</dd></dl>
<a name=component.text></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>text
</strong></dt><dd>
The text widget which is scrolled by the scrollbars.  If the
    <strong>borderframe</strong> option is true, this is created with a borderwidth
    of <strong>0</strong> to overcome a known problem with text widgets:  if a widget
    inside a text widget extends across one of the edges of the text
    widget, then the widget obscures the border of the text widget. 
    Therefore, if the text widget has no border, then this overlapping
    does not occur. By default, this component is a Tkinter.Text.</p>


</dd></dl>
<a name=component.vertscrollbar></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>vertscrollbar
</strong></dt><dd>
The vertical scrollbar. By default, this component is a Tkinter.Scrollbar. Its component group is <strong>Scrollbar</strong>.</p>


</dd></dl>
</dd>
<a name=methods></a>
<dt> <h3>Methods</h3></dt><dd>
Only methods specific to this megawidget are described below.
For a description of its inherited methods, see the
manual for its base class
<strong><a href="MegaWidget.html#methods">Pmw.MegaWidget</a></strong>.
In addition, methods from the
<strong>Tkinter.Text</strong> class
are forwarded by this megawidget to the
<strong>text</strong> component.
<p></p>
<a name=method.appendtext></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>appendtext</strong>(<em>text</em>)</dt><dd>
Add <em>text</em> to the end of the <strong>text</strong> component.  Scroll to the
    bottom of the text, but only if it was already visible before the
    new text was added.</p>


</dd></dl>
<a name=method.bbox></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>bbox</strong>(<em>index</em>)</dt><dd>
This method is explicitly forwarded to the <strong>text</strong> component's
    <code>bbox()</code> method.  Without this explicit forwarding, the <code>bbox()</code>
    method (aliased to <code>grid_bbox()</code>) of the <strong>hull</strong> would be invoked,
    which is probably not what the programmer intended.</p>


</dd></dl>
<a name=method.clear></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>clear</strong>()</dt><dd>
Delete all text from the <strong>text</strong> component.</p>


</dd></dl>
<a name=method.exportfile></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>exportfile</strong>(<em>fileName</em>)</dt><dd>
Write the contents of the <strong>text</strong> component to the file <em>fileName</em>.</p>


</dd></dl>
<a name=method.get></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>get</strong>(<em>first</em> = <strong>None</strong>, <em>last</em> = <strong>None</strong>)</dt><dd>
This is the same as the <code>get()</code> method of the <strong>text</strong> component,
    except that if <em>first</em> is <strong>None</strong> the entire
    contents of the text widget are returned.</p>


</dd></dl>
<a name=method.getvalue></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>getvalue</strong>()</dt><dd>
Return the entire contents of the text widget.</p>


</dd></dl>
<a name=method.importfile></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>importfile</strong>(<em>fileName</em>, <em>where</em> = <strong>'end'</strong>)</dt><dd>
Read the contents of the file <em>fileName</em> and insert into the
    <strong>text</strong> component at the position given by <em>where</em>.</p>


</dd></dl>
<a name=method.settext></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>settext</strong>(<em>text</em>)</dt><dd>
Same as <code>setvalue()</code> method.</p>


</dd></dl>
<a name=method.setvalue></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>setvalue</strong>(<em>text</em>)</dt><dd>
Replace the entire contents of the <strong>text</strong> component with <em>text</em>.</p>
