DESCRIPTION

PagesManager widget manages a set of pages and displays one of them. PagesManager does not provide any user access method, as NoteBook does, so it can be done through a listbox, a menu, radiobutton, or whatever. The widget shows no pages during creation; there must be an explicit call to raise to display one.

WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

-height
  Specifies the desired height for the pages. If this option is equal to zero (the default) then the window will not request any size at all. In this case, user may want to call PagesManager::compute_size to make PagesManager larger enough to contains the largest page.

-width
  Specifies the desired width for the pages. If this option is equal to zero (the default) then the window will not request any size at all. In this case, user may want to call PagesManager::compute_size to make PagesManager larger enough to contains the largest page.

WIDGET COMMAND

pathName add page
  Add a new page identified by page, which is an arbitrary identifier. The pathname of the new page is returned and widgets for the page should be created with this as the parent or ancestor. However, PagesManager manages its own geometry. pack, grid or an equivalent should not be used with the pathname returned by add.

pathName cget option
  Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the creation command.

pathName compute_size
  This command can be called to make the PagesManager large enough to contain the largest page.

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 available options for pathName. 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 creation command. Read-only options are not be modified.

pathName delete page
  Deletes the page page.

pathName getframe page
  Returns the pathname of the page page.

pathName page first ?last?
  Its use is deprecated. Use pages instead.
  If last is omitted, returns the page at index first, or an empty string if first refers to a non-existent element. If last is specified, the command returns a list whose elements are all of the pages between first and last, inclusive. Both first and last may have any of the standard forms for indices.

pathName pages ?first? ?last?
  If first and last are omitted, returns the list of all pages. If first is specified and last omitted, returns the page at index first, or an empty string if first refers to a non-existent element. If first and last are specified, the command returns a list whose elements are all of the pages between first and last, inclusive. Both first and last may have any of the standard forms for indices.

pathName raise ?page?
  Raise the page page, or return the raised page if page is omitted.
