'\" Generated from file 'doc/treectrl.man' by tcllib/doctools with format 'nroff'
'\"
'\" The definitions below are for supplemental macros used in Tcl/Tk
'\" manual entries.
'\"
'\" .AP type name in/out ?indent?
'\"	Start paragraph describing an argument to a library procedure.
'\"	type is type of argument (int, etc.), in/out is either "in", "out",
'\"	or "in/out" to describe whether procedure reads or modifies arg,
'\"	and indent is equivalent to second arg of .IP (shouldn't ever be
'\"	needed;  use .AS below instead)
'\"
'\" .AS ?type? ?name?
'\"	Give maximum sizes of arguments for setting tab stops.  Type and
'\"	name are examples of largest possible arguments that will be passed
'\"	to .AP later.  If args are omitted, default tab stops are used.
'\"
'\" .BS
'\"	Start box enclosure.  From here until next .BE, everything will be
'\"	enclosed in one large box.
'\"
'\" .BE
'\"	End of box enclosure.
'\"
'\" .CS
'\"	Begin code excerpt.
'\"
'\" .CE
'\"	End code excerpt.
'\"
'\" .VS ?version? ?br?
'\"	Begin vertical sidebar, for use in marking newly-changed parts
'\"	of man pages.  The first argument is ignored and used for recording
'\"	the version when the .VS was added, so that the sidebars can be
'\"	found and removed when they reach a certain age.  If another argument
'\"	is present, then a line break is forced before starting the sidebar.
'\"
'\" .VE
'\"	End of vertical sidebar.
'\"
'\" .DS
'\"	Begin an indented unfilled display.
'\"
'\" .DE
'\"	End of indented unfilled display.
'\"
'\" .SO
'\"	Start of list of standard options for a Tk widget.  The
'\"	options follow on successive lines, in four columns separated
'\"	by tabs.
'\"
'\" .SE
'\"	End of list of standard options for a Tk widget.
'\"
'\" .OP cmdName dbName dbClass
'\"	Start of description of a specific option.  cmdName gives the
'\"	option's name as specified in the class command, dbName gives
'\"	the option's name in the option database, and dbClass gives
'\"	the option's class in the option database.
'\"
'\" .UL arg1 arg2
'\"	Print arg1 underlined, then print arg2 normally.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.TP
\fBtreectrl\fR \fIpathName\fR ?\fIoptions\fR?
.PP
.PP
The \fBtreectrl\fR command creates a new window (given by the
\fIpathName\fR argument) and makes it into a treectrl widget.
Additional options, described above, may be specified on the
command line or in the option database
to configure aspects of the treectrl such as its background color
and relief.  The \fBtreectrl\fR command returns the
path name of the new window.
At the time this command is invoked, there must not
exist a window named \fIpathName\fR, but \fIpathName\fR's parent must exist.
.PP
A treectrl is a listbox widget which displays items in a one- or
two-dimensional arrangement.
Items have a parent-child relationship with other items.
Items may be arranged from top-to-bottom or from left-to-right.
Items may be spread about one or more columns.
Each item-column may be configured to span one or more adjacent item-columns.
The visibility of items can be set individually.
.PP
Items have a set of states, which are boolean properties.
For each column of an item there is a style associated,
which determines how to display the item's column
taking into account the item's current state set.
New states may be defined to further control the appearance of items;
these custom states may be turned on or off in individual columns of items.
.PP
Multiple rows of column headers are supported.
Column headers have platform-native appearance on Windows, Mac OS X, and Gtk+.
The appearance of column headers may be customized using styles.
.PP
Columns may be rearranged by the user using drag-and-drop.
One column can be specified to display the data in a hierarchical structure.
The visibility of columns can be set individually.
.PP
A treectrl can display a user-resizable selection rectangle called the
marquee. Another feature, the drag image, may be used to provide feedback
during drag-and-drop operations. Both of these are features commonly found in
file browsers.
.PP
A treectrl can generate events when various things happen, such as changes to
the selection, or a parent item being toggled open or closed.  Scripts may be
bound to these events.  New events can be defined.
.PP
A treectrl can display a background image.  The background image can be
configured to be scrolled and tiled on each axis individually.

Command-Line Switch:	\fB-backgroundimage\fR
Database Name:	\fBbackgroundImage\fR
Database Class:	\fBBackgroundImage\fR

.fi
.IP
Specifies the name of an image to draw as the list background.   Other options
control whether the image is tiled and whether the image scrolls. If the image is
transparent it is drawn on top of any column \fB-itembackground\fR colors.
.LP
.nf
.ta 6c
Command-Line Switch:	\fB-backgroundmode\fR
Database Name:	\fBbackgroundMode\fR
Database Class:	\fBBackgroundMode\fR

.fi
.IP
Specifies how the background color of items is chosen in each column.
The value should be one of \fBrow\fR, \fBcolumn\fR, \fBorder\fR,
or \fBordervisible\fR. The default is \fBrow\fR.
This option has only an effect
for columns which have \fB-itembackground\fR defined as list of two or more
colors (see section \fBCOLUMNS\fR below for more on this). If \fBrow\fR or
\fBcolumn\fR is specified, the background color is chosen based on the location
of the item in the 1- or 2-dimensional grid of items as layed out on the screen;
this layout of items is affected by the \fB-orient\fR and \fB-wrap\fR options as
well as item visibility.
When \fBorder\fR or \fBordervisible\fR is specified,
the background color is chosen based on the result of the \fBitem order\fR
command, regardless of the layout of items.

.PP
.SH "THE CANVAS"
Throughout this manual page the term \fIcanvas\fR is sometimes used.  The canvas
can be thought of as the virtual sheet of paper upon which all visible items are
drawn.  The treectrl window displays different areas of the canvas within its
borders as the list is scrolled.
.SH "ITEM AND COLUMN TAGS"
Columns and items may have any number of tags associated with them.
A tag is just a string of characters, and it may take any form,
including that of an integer, although the characters '(', ')', '&', '|', '^'
and '!' should be avoided.
.PP
The same tag may be associated with many columns or items. This is commonly done to group
items in various interesting ways; for example, in a file browser all directories
might be given the tag "directory".
.PP
Tag expressions are used in \fBcolumn descriptions\fR
and \fBitem descriptions\fR to specify which columns
and items to operate on.
A tag expression can be a single tag name or a logical expression of tags
using operators '&&', '||', '^' and '!', and parenthesized subexpressions.
For example:
.nf

.t item id "tag {(a && !b) || (!a && b)}"

.fi
or equivalently:
.nf

.t item id "tag {a ^ b}"

.fi
will return the unique ids of any items with either "a" or "b" tags, but not both.
.PP
Within a tag expression a tag name may be enclosed in double quotes to avoid special
processing of the operator characters. For example:
.nf

.t item id {tag {"a&&b"||c}}

.fi
will return the unique ids of any items with either "a&&b" or "c" tags; in this
example the && is not treated as an operator. A double-quote may be escaped within
a quoted tag name using a backslash '\\'.
.PP
Tag operators may be bypassed completely by setting the \fB-columntagexpr\fR and
\fB-itemtagexpr\fR options. This can be useful if your application has column
or item tags containing arbitrary text.
.nf

.t configure -itemtagexpr false
.t item delete "tag a&&b"

.fi
.SH "WIDGET COMMAND"
The \fBtreectrl\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose
name is the same as the path name of the treectrl's window.
This command may be used to invoke various
operations on the widget.  It has the following general form:
.PP
\fIpathName\fR \fIoption\fR ?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
.PP
\fIPathName\fR is the name of the command, which is the same as
the treectrl widget's path name.  \fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs
determine the exact behavior of the command.  The following
commands are possible for treectrl widgets:
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBactivate\fR \fIitemDesc\fR
Sets the active item to the one described by \fIitemDesc\fR,
and switches on the state \fBactive\fR for that item.
The active item can be referred to by the item description \fBactive\fR.
If this command changes which item is active an \fB<ActiveItem>\fR event is generated.
If the active item is deleted the root item becomes the new active item.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBbbox\fR ?\fIarea\fR?
Returns a list with four elements giving the bounding box (left, top, right
and bottom) of an area of the window. If \fIarea\fR is not specified, then
the result is the bounding box of the entire window.
If \fIarea\fR is \fBcontent\fR, then the result is the part of the window
not including borders, headers, or locked columns.
If \fIarea\fR is \fBheader\fR, then the result is the part of the window
not including borders where column titles are displayed.
If \fIarea\fR is \fBleft\fR, then the result is the part of the window
not including borders or headers where left-locked columns are displayed.
If \fIarea\fR is \fBright\fR, then the result is the part of the window
not including borders or headers where right-locked columns are displayed.
.sp
If \fIarea\fR is one of \fBheader.left\fR, \fBheader.none\fR or
\fBheader.right\fR then the area of the column headers occupied by columns
with -lock=left, -lock=none or -lock=right is returned.
.sp
An empty string is returned if the display area has
no height or width, which can be true for various reasons such as the window
is too small, or the header is not displayed, or there aren't any locked
columns.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcanvasx\fR \fIwindowx\fR
Translates the given window x-coordinate \fIwindowx\fR in the treectrl
to \fBcanvas\fR coordinate space.  The \fBmarquee\fR command
expects canvas coordinates.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcanvasy\fR \fIwindowy\fR
Translates the given window y-coordinate \fIwindowy\fR in the treectrl
to \fBcanvas\fR coordinate space.  The \fBmarquee\fR command
expects canvas coordinates.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR
Returns the current value of the configuration option given
by \fIoption\fR.
\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBtree\fR
command.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcollapse\fR ?\fB-recurse\fR? ?\fIitemDesc ...\fR?
Deprecated. Use \fBitem collapse\fR instead.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn\fR \fIoption\fR \fIcolumn\fR ?\fIarg ...\fR?
This command is used to manipulate the columns of the treectrl widget
(see section \fBCOLUMNS\fR below).
The exact behavior of the command depends on the \fIoption\fR argument
that follows the \fBcolumn\fR argument.
The following forms of the command are supported:
.RS
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn bbox\fR \fIcolumnDesc\fR
Returns a list with four elements giving the bounding box
of the header of the column specified by the
\fBcolumn description\fR \fIcolumnDesc\fR.
The returned coordinates are relative to the top-left corner of the widget.
If the column option \fB-visible\fR=false or if the widget option
\fB-showheader\fR=false, then an empty list is returned.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn cget\fR \fIcolumnDesc\fR \fIoption\fR
This command returns the current value of the option named \fIoption\fR
for the column specified by the
\fBcolumn description\fR \fIcolumnDesc\fR,
\fIColumnDesc\fR may also be the string \fBtail\fR to specify the tail column.
\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the
\fBcolumn configure\fR widget command.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn configure\fR \fIcolumnDesc\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue\fR? ?\fIoption value ...\fR?
This command is similar to the \fBconfigure\fR widget command except
that it modifies options associated with the columns specified by the
\fBcolumn description\fR \fIcolumnDesc\fR
instead of modifying options for the overall treectrl widget.
\fIColumnDesc\fR may be the string \fBtail\fR to specify the tail column.
If \fIcolumnDesc\fR refers to more than one column, then at least one option-value pair
must be given.
If no \fIoption\fR is specified, the command returns a list describing
all of the available options for \fIcolumnDesc\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR
for information on the format of this list).
If \fIoption\fR is specified with no \fIvalue\fR, 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 \fIoption\fR
is specified).
If one or more \fIoption\fR-\fIvalue\fR pairs are specified, then the command
modifies the given option(s) to have the given value(s) for \fIcolumnDesc\fR;
in this case the command returns an empty string.
.sp
See \fBCOLUMNS\fR below for details on the options available for columns.
.sp
For compatibility with older versions of treectrl (which did not support more
than one row of column headers) any of the configuration options mentioned in
the \fBHEADERS\fR section, such as \fB-arrow\fR, \fB-text\fR, etc,
may be passed to the top header-row through this command.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn compare\fR \fIcolumn1\fR \fIop\fR \fIcolumn2\fR
For both \fBcolumn descriptions\fR \fIcolumn1\fR
and \fIcolumn2\fR the index is retrieved
(as returned from the \fBcolumn order\fR widget command).
Then these indexes are compared using the operator \fIop\fR, which must
be either \fB<\fR,  \fB<=\fR,  \fB==\fR, \fB>=\fR, \fB>\fR,
or \fB!=\fR.
The return value of this command is 1 if the comparison evaluated to true,
0 otherwise.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn count\fR ?\fIcolumnDesc\fR?
If no additional arguments are given, the result is a decimal string giving the number of
columns created by the \fBcolumn create\fR widget command which haven't been
deleted by the \fBcolumn delete\fR widget command; in this case the \fBtail\fR column
is not counted.
If \fIcolumnDesc\fR is given, then the result is the number of columns that
match that \fBcolumn description\fR.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn create\fR ?\fIoption value ...\fR?
This command creates a new column in the treectrl widget. The new column is
placed to the right of all other columns (except the \fBtail\fR column). Any
\fIoption\fR-\fIvalue\fR arguments configure the new column according to the
\fBcolumn configure\fR command. The return value is the unique identifier
of the new column.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn delete\fR \fIfirst\fR ?\fIlast\fR?
Deletes the specified column(s). \fIFirst\fR and \fIlast\fR must be valid
\fBcolumn descriptions\fR. If both \fIfirst\fR
and \fIlast\fR are specified, then they may refer to a single column only.
The \fBtail\fR column cannot be deleted and it is an error to specify it.
The order of \fIfirst\fR and \fIlast\fR doesn't matter, and \fIfirst\fR may
be equal to \fIlast\fR.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn dragcget\fR \fIoption\fR
Deprecated. Use \fBheader dragcget\fR instead.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn dragconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue\fR? ?\fIoption value ...\fR?
Deprecated. Use \fBheader dragconfigure\fR instead.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn index\fR \fIcolumnDesc\fR
Deprecated. Use \fBcolumn id\fR instead.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn id\fR \fIcolumnDesc\fR
This command resolves the \fBcolumn description\fR
\fIcolumnDesc\fR into a list of unique column identifiers. If the column(s) described by
\fIcolumnDesc\fR don't exist, this command returns an empty list.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn list\fR ?\fI-visible\fR?
This command returns a list of identifiers for every column (except the tail)
from left to right. If \fI-visible\fR is given, only columns whose -visible
option is true are returned.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn move\fR \fIcolumnDesc\fR \fIbeforeDesc\fR
Moves the column specified by \fIcolumnDesc\fR to the left of the column
specified by \fIbeforeDesc\fR. Both \fIcolumnDesc\fR and \fIbeforeDesc\fR
must be valid \fBcolumn descriptions\fR.
If \fIbeforeDesc\fR is the string \fBtail\fR,
the column \fIcolumnDesc\fR will become the last column.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn neededwidth\fR \fIcolumnDesc\fR
This command returns a decimal string giving the needed width
of the column specified by the \fBcolumn description\fR
\fIcolumnDesc\fR.
The needed width is the maximum of the width of the column header
and the width of the widest style in any visible item.
.sp
When an item style or column header spans multiple columns, the needed width
of a column is affected by the widths of other columns in the span, in which
case the result of this command isn't particularly useful.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn order\fR \fIcolumnDesc\fR ?\fI-visible\fR?
This command returns a decimal string giving the position of the column
specified by the \fBcolumn description\fR
\fIcolumnDesc\fR
in the list of columns starting from zero for the leftmost column.
If \fI-visible\fR is given, only columns whose -visible
option is true are considered, and -1 is returned if \fIcolumnDesc\fR's -visible
option is false.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn tag\fR \fIoption\fR ?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
This command is used to manipulate tags on columns.
The exact behavior of the command depends on the \fIoption\fR argument
that follows the \fBcolumn tag\fR argument.
The following forms of the command are supported:
.RS
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn tag add\fR \fIcolumnDesc\fR \fItagList\fR
Adds each tag in \fItagList\fR to the columns specified by the
\fBcolumn description\fR \fIcolumnDesc\fR.
Duplicate tags are ignored. The list of tags for a column can also be
changed via a column's \fB-tags\fR option.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn tag expr\fR \fIcolumnDesc\fR \fItagExpr\fR
Evaluates the tag expression \fItagExpr\fR against every column
specified by the \fBcolumn description\fR
\fIcolumnDesc\fR. The result is 1 if the tag expression evaluates to true
for every column, 0 otherwise.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn tag names\fR \fIcolumnDesc\fR
Returns a list of tag names assigned to the columns
specified by the \fBcolumn description\fR
\fIcolumnDesc\fR. The result is the union of any tags assigned to the
columns.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcolumn tag remove\fR \fIcolumnDesc\fR \fItagList\fR
Removes each tag in \fItagList\fR from the columns specified by the

It is not an error if any of the columns do not use any of the tags.
The list of tags for a column can also be changed via a column's
\fB-tags\fR option.

Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.
If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of
the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for
information on the format of this list).  If \fIoption\fR is specified
with no \fIvalue\fR, 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 \fIoption\fR is specified).  If
one or more \fIoption\fR-\fIvalue\fR 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.
\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBtreectrl\fR
command.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBcontentbox\fR
Returns a list with four elements giving the bounding box
of the screen area used to display items.
This is the area of the window not including borders, column headers, or
locked columns. An empty string is returned if the display area has
no height or width, which can happen if the window is too small.
The result of this command is the same as that of \fBbbox content\fR.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBdebug\fR \fIoption\fR ?\fIarg arg ...\fR?

The exact behavior of the command depends on the \fIoption\fR argument
that follows the \fBdebug\fR argument.
The following forms of the command are supported:
.RS
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBdebug alloc\fR

\fBdebug configure\fR widget command.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBdebug configure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue\fR? ?\fIoption value ...\fR?

.TP
\fB\fB-data\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR
If this option is switched on
(together with the debugging option \fB-enable\fR),
at various places a consistence check

\fB\fB-erasecolor\fR\fR \fIcolor\fR
When specified, areas of the window which have been marked as "invalid"
(for example, when part of the window is exposed) are
painted with this color.
If you use an unusual color for this option (like \fBpink\fR),
superflous screen redraws can be spotted more easily.
Setting this option has only an effect if the

Specifies the color stops along this gradient. The argument \fIstopsList\fR
has the following form:
.nf

{{offset color ?opacity?} {offset color ?opacity?} ...}

.fi
Each \fIoffset\fR is a floating point number from 0.0 to 1.0 specifying the
distance from the start of the gradient where the \fIcolor\fR begins.
Each \fIcolor\fR is a Tk color name or description.
Each optional \fIopacity\fR is a floating point number from 0.0 to 1.0
specifying how transparent the gradient is.
.sp
If \fIstopsList\fR is non-empty there must be at least two stops specified, and
the first offset must be 0.0 and the last offset must be 1.0.  Any other

\fIpathName\fR \fBitem\fR \fIoption\fR ?\fIarg ...\fR?
This command is used to manipulate items.
The exact behavior of the command depends on the \fIoption\fR argument
that follows the \fBitem\fR argument.
The following forms of the command are supported:
.RS
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBitem ancestors\fR \fIitemDesc\fR
Returns a list containing the item ids of the ancestors
of the item specified by \fIitemDesc\fR. The first list value is the parent,
the second is the parent's parent, an so on. The last list value will be the
root item if \fIitemDesc\fR is a descendant of the root item.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBitem bbox\fR \fIitemDesc\fR ?\fIcolumn\fR? ?\fIelement\fR?
Returns a list with four elements giving the bounding box of the item described
by \fIitemDesc\fR. If no further argument is specified, the bbox spans the area
of the item over all non-locked columns. If a \fIcolumn\fR is specified, only the
area of the item in this column is considered. If an additional \fIelement\fR is
specified, the area of this \fIelement\fR in \fIcolumn\fR of the specified item
is returned.  The returned coordinates are relative to the top-left corner of the
widget.  If the item is not visible for any reason, the result in an empty string.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBitem buttonstate\fR \fIitemDesc\fR ?\fIstate\fR?
If \fIstate\fR is specified, this command sets the state of the expand/collapse
button for the single item specified by \fIitemDesc\fR.  The \fIstate\fR
argument may be one of \fBactive\fR, \fBnormal\fR or \fBpressed\fR.
The current (or newly-set) state of the button is returned.  The button state
is used by the system theme, if any, to change the appearance of the button.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBitem cget\fR \fIitemDesc\fR \fIoption\fR
Returns the current value of the configuration option for the item specified by
\fIitemDesc\fR whose name is \fIoption\fR. \fIOption\fR may have any of the
values accepted by the \fBitem configure\fR command.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBitem children\fR \fIitemDesc\fR
Returns a list containing the item ids of all children
of the item specified by \fIitemDesc\fR in the correct order from
the first child to the last child.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBitem collapse\fR \fIitemDesc\fR ?\fB-animate\fR? ?\fB-recurse\fR?
Switches off the \fBopen\fR state of the item(s) described by \fIitemDesc\fR.
If an item has descendants, then they are no longer displayed.
If an item is already closed, then this command has no effect on that item.
If \fB-animate\fR is specified, then the item's button will animate as it
transitions between states if the theme supports it; in this case only one item
may be specified.
If \fB-recurse\fR is specified, then all descendants of the items described
by \fIitemDesc\fR will also be collapsed.
For every item that actually will be collapsed, two events are generated:
a \fB<Collapse-before>\fR event before the item state is changed,
and a \fB<Collapse-after>\fR event after the item state was changed.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBitem compare\fR \fIitemDesc1\fR \fIop\fR \fIitemDesc2\fR
From both items described by the \fIitemDesc\fRs the index is retrieved
(as returned from the \fBitem order\fR widget command).
Then these indexes are compared using the operator \fIop\fR, which must
be either \fB<\fR,  \fB<=\fR,  \fB==\fR, \fB>=\fR, \fB>\fR,
or \fB!=\fR.
The return value of this command is 1 if the comparison evaluated to true,
0 otherwise.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBitem complex\fR \fIitemDesc\fR ?\fIlist...\fR?
This horrible command is now deprecated. Use \fBitem element configure\fR
instead. For every column of the treectrl there may be specified one \fIlist\fR.
Each \fIlist\fR should look like this:
.nf

{ {element option value ...} {element option value ...} ...}

.fi
Every \fIoption\fR must be known by the element's type
(see \fBELEMENTS AND STYLES\fR below).
Each \fIoption\fR will be set to \fIvalue\fR for the element in this
one column in this item.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBitem configure\fR \fIitemDesc\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue\fR? ?\fIoption value ...\fR?
If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of the available
options for the item given by \fIitemDesc\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for
information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR 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 \fIoption\fR is specified).
.sp
If one or more \fIoption\fR-\fIvalue\fR pairs
are specified, then the command modifies the given item option(s) to have the
given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string. This is the

If \fIlast\fR isn't specified, then \fIfirst\fR may specify multiple items.
If both \fIfirst\fR and \fIlast\fR are specified,
they must each decribe a single item with a common ancestor;
then the range of items between \fIfirst\fR and \fIlast\fR is deleted.
The order of \fIfirst\fR and \fIlast\fR doesn't matter.

Deleting an item deletes any child items of the deleted item recursively.
If the current \fBactive\fR item is deleted, the root item becomes the new active item.
If the current selection \fBanchor\fR item is deleted, the root item becomes the new anchor item.
There is no way to delete the root item of the treectrl widget;
in all cases the specification of the root item is ignored.
.sp
For each call to this command, two events may be generated.
If any of the deleted items are selected, then they are removed from the selection

If an item has descendants, then they are now displayed.
If an item is already open, then this command has no effect on that item.
If \fB-animate\fR is specified, then the item's button will animate as it
transitions between states if the theme supports it; in this case only one item

This command returns the position of the item \fIitemDesc\fR relative to
its toplevel ancestor (usually the root item, unless the ancestor is an
orphan). If you imagine all the items flattened into a vertical list, the
result of this command is the row the item falls in. If the optional argument

The order between \fIfirst\fR and \fIlast\fR doesn't matter,
and the result is always sorted by the increasing order of the items (as
returned by the \fBitem order\fR command).
The items specified by \fIfirst\fR and \fIlast\fR must share a common
ancestor.

The range of items which should be sorted can be restricted
by means of the \fB-first\fR and/or \fB-last\fR options,
which should be children of the item described by \fIitemDesc\fR;
the order between these two limiting items doesn't matter.
.sp
The sort column can be specified by means of the \fB-column\fR option;
this option can be used repeatedly to define a multicolumn sort.
The sorting is done by looking at the \fItext\fR
of the element specified by the \fB-element\fR option,
which must be a text element defined in the style of the sorting column,
by default the first text element is used.
.sp
If the \fB-notreally\fR option is specified,
no rearranging of the items is done;
instead the sorted items are returned as result of the command.

By default ASCII sorting is used with the result returned in increasing order.
Any of the following options may be specified to control
the sorting process of the previously specified column

\fIpathName\fR \fBmarquee\fR \fIoption\fR ?\fIarg ...\fR?
This command is used to manipulate the marquee,
which can be used to implement a resizable selection rectangle, in a
file browser for example.
One corner point of the marquee is fixed as long as the marquee is visible
and called the anchor; the diagonally opposite corner is dragged with the
mouse while resizing the marquee and simply called the corner.
.sp
All coordinates handled by this widget command are \fBcanvas\fR
coordinates, i.e. the \fBcanvasx\fR or \fBcanvasy\fR widget command should be
used to translate window coordinates to canvas coordinates.
.sp
By default, the marquee is displayed as a 1-pixel thick dotted rectangle.
If either of the \fB-fill\fR or \fB-outline\fR options is specified, then
the marquee is drawn as a filled and/or outlined rectangle of the specified
color(s).  The  \fB-fill\fR option should specify a transparent gradient to
avoid hiding what is inside the marquee.  See \fBGRADIENTS\fR for more info.

.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBmarquee configure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue\fR? ?\fIoption value ...\fR?
This command is similar to the \fBconfigure\fR widget command except

instead of modifying options for the overall treectrl widget.
If no \fIoption\fR is specified, the command returns a list describing
all of the available marquee options (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR
for information on the format of this list).
If \fIoption\fR is specified with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns
a list describing the one named marquee option (this list will be identical to
the corresponding sublist of the value returned if no \fIoption\fR
is specified).
If one or more \fIoption\fR-\fIvalue\fR pairs are specified, then the command

\fIpathName\fR \fBnotify\fR \fIoption\fR ?\fIarg ...\fR?
Many Tk widgets communicate with the outside world via \fB-command\fR
callbacks and/or virtual events. For example, the Text widget
evaluates its \fB-yscrollcommand\fR when the view in the widget changes,
and generates a <<Modified>> virtual event when text is inserted or deleted.
A treectrl widget replaces both methods of communication with its own event
mechanism accessed through the \fBnotify\fR subcommands.
.sp
The exact behavior of the command depends on the \fIoption\fR argument
that follows the \fBnotify\fR argument.
The following forms of the command are supported:
.RS
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBnotify bind\fR ?\fIobject\fR? ?\fIpattern\fR? ?+??\fIscript\fR?
This command associates Tcl scripts with events generated by a
treectrl widget.
If all three arguments are specified, \fBnotify bind\fR will arrange for
\fIscript\fR (a Tcl script) to be evaluated whenever the event(s) specified
by \fIpattern\fR are generated by this treectrl widget.
If \fIscript\fR is prefixed with a "+", then it is appended to any existing
binding for \fIpattern\fR;  otherwise \fIscript\fR replaces any existing binding.
If \fIscript\fR is an empty string then the current binding for \fIpattern\fR
is destroyed, leaving \fIpattern\fR unbound. In all of the cases where a script
argument is provided, \fBnotify bind\fR returns an empty string.
.sp
If \fIpattern\fR is specified without a \fIscript\fR, then the script currently
bound to \fIpattern\fR is returned, or an empty string is returned if there is
no binding for \fIpattern\fR. If neither \fIpattern\fR nor \fIscript\fR is
specified, then the return value is a list whose elements are all the patterns
for which there exist bindings for \fIobject\fR.
.sp
The \fIobject\fR argument determines which window(s) the binding applies to.
If \fIobject\fR begins with a dot, as in .a.b.c, then it must be the path name
for a window; otherwise it may be an arbitrary string. Like the regular
\fBbind\fR command, bindings on window names are automatically removed if
that window is destroyed.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBnotify configure\fR \fIobject\fR \fIpattern\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue\fR? ?\fIoption value ...\fR?
This command sets and retrieves options for bindings created by the
\fBnotify bind\fR command.
.sp
If no \fIoption\fR is specified, the command returns a list with
\fIoption\fR-\fIvalue\fR pairs describing all
the available binding options for \fIpattern\fR on \fIobject\fR.
If \fIoption\fR is specified with no \fIvalue\fR,
then the command returns the current value of that option.
If one or more \fIoption\fR-\fIvalue\fR pairs are specified, then the command
modifies the given option(s) to have the given value(s) for the binding;

This command causes the treectrl widget to generate an event. This command is
typically used to generate dynamic events created by the \fBnotify install\fR
command, but may be used to generate static events also.
The event specified by \fIpattern\fR is generated, and any active binding
scripts on the event are evaluated after undergoing %-substitution.
If there are details defined for the event,
\fIpattern\fR must describe an <\fIeventName\fR-\fIdetail\fR> pair,
otherwise \fIpattern\fR should be <\fIeventName\fR>.
.sp
The optional \fIcharMap\fR is a list of \fIchar\fR-\fIvalue\fR pairs
as in the form returned by \fBarray get\fR.
Each \fIchar\fR has to be exactly one character.
The \fIcharMap\fR is used in %-substitution.
.sp
If \fIpercentsCommand\fR is specified, then it will be used to perform %-substitution
on any scripts bound to the event. If \fIpercentsCommand\fR is not specified and
the event is dynamic, then the %-subtitution command passed to \fBnotify install\fR
will be used if it was provided. If the event is static or no %-substitution
command is available, then all %-substitution is done using \fIcharMap\fR only .
See \fBnotify install\fR for a description of \fIpercentsCommand\fR.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBnotify install\fR \fIpattern\fR ?\fIpercentsCommand\fR?
This command installs a new event or detail specified by \fIpattern\fR.
Events created by this command are called dynamic,

This command may be called to set or retrieve the \fIpercentsCommand\fR for
an existing dynamic event.
.sp
The optional \fIpercentsCommand\fR is a list containing the name of a Tcl
command, plus any optional arguments, to which five additional arguments
will be appended. The command will be called to perform %-substitution on any
scripts bound to the event specified by \fIpattern\fR (see \fBEVENTS AND SCRIPT SUBSTITUTIONS\fR).
\fIPercentsCommand\fR should be defined as follows:
.nf

proc percentsCommand {?arg arg ...? char object event detail charMap} {
	switch -- $char {

	}
	return $value

.fi
The optional \fIarg\fR arguments are part of the \fIpercentsCommand\fR list.
\fIChar\fR is the %-character to be substituted. \fIObject\fR is the same
as the argument to \fBnotify bind\fR. \fIEvent\fR and \fIdetail\fR specify
the event. \fICharMap\fR is the same as the argument to \fBnotify generate\fR.
\fIPercentsCommand\fR should return the value to replace the %-character by.
If an error occurs evaluating \fIpercentsCommand\fR, the %-character is replaced
by itself.

that follows the \fBstate\fR argument.
The following forms of the command are supported:
.RS
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBstate define\fR \fIstateName\fR
Defines a new state with the name \fIstateName\fR,
which must not be the name of an existing state.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBstate linkage\fR \fIstateName\fR
Returns a string indicating
whether the specified state is user-defined
by means of the \fBstate define\fR widget command (\fBdynamic\fR)
or predefined by the treectrl widget itself (\fBstatic\fR).
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBstate names\fR
Returns a list containing the names of all user-defined states.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBstate undefine\fR ?\fIstateName ...\fR?
Every \fIstateName\fR must be the name of a user-defined state.
Removes this state from the list of user-defined states.
.RE
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBstyle\fR \fIoption\fR ?\fIelement\fR? ?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
This command is used to manipulate styles, which can be thought of
as a geometry manager for elements.
The exact behavior of the command depends on the \fIoption\fR argument
that follows the \fBstyle\fR argument.
The following forms of the command are supported:
.RS
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBstyle cget\fR \fIstyle\fR \fIoption\fR
This command returns the current value of the option named \fIoption\fR
associated with the style given by \fIstyle\fR.
\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the
\fBstyle configure\fR widget command.
.sp
This command also accepts the \fB-statedomain\fR option.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBstyle configure\fR \fIstyle\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue\fR? ?\fIoption value ...\fR?
This command is similar to the \fBconfigure\fR widget command except
that it modifies options associated with the style given by \fIstyle\fR
instead of modifying options for the overall treectrl widget.
If no \fIoption\fR is specified, the command returns a list describing
all of the available options for \fIstyle\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR
for information on the format of this list).
If \fIoption\fR is specified with no \fIvalue\fR, 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 \fIoption\fR
is specified).
If one or more \fIoption\fR-\fIvalue\fR pairs are specified, then the command
modifies the given option(s) to have the given value(s) in \fIstyle\fR;
in this case the command returns an empty string.
.sp
The following options are supported:
.RS
.TP
\fB\fB-buttony\fR\fR \fIoffset\fR
Specifies the distance from the top of the item that the expand/collapse button
should be drawn.  If \fIoffset\fR is an empty string (the default) then the button
is centered vertically in the item.
The value may have any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR.
This option only has effect when the style is set in an item in the tree column.
.TP
\fB\fB-orient\fR\fR \fIvarName\fR
This option specifies which orientation should be used
when laying out the elements associated with this style.
Must be either \fBhorizontal\fR (the default)
or \fBvertical\fR or an abbreviation of one of these.
.RE
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBstyle create\fR \fIname\fR ?\fIoption value ...\fR?
Creates a new style with the unique user-defined name \fIname\fR.
After \fIname\fR there may be any number of \fIoption\fR-\fIvalue\fR
pairs, each of which sets one of the configuration options
for the style.  See the \fBstyle configure\fR command for the possible
options.
The result of this command is the name of the new style (the same as the
\fIname\fR option).
.sp
This command also accepts the \fB-statedomain\fR option with a value of
either \fBheader\fR or \fBitem\fR to specify where this style will be
displayed.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBstyle delete\fR ?\fIstyle ...\fR?
Deletes each of the named styles and returns an empty string.
If a style is deleted while it is still used to display
one or more items,
it is also removed from the style list of these items.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBstyle elements\fR \fIstyle\fR ?\fIelementList\fR?
Specifies the elements which should be layed out by this style.
Each element of \fIelementList\fR must be the name of an element
created by the widget command \fBelement create\fR.
Duplicate names in \fIelementList\fR are ignored.
An element which was specified in a former call of this command
for \fIstyle\fR but is not included in \fIelementList\fR,
will be deleted from the elements layed out by \fIstyle\fR.
.sp
Every element used by a style must have been created with the same value
for the \fB-statedomain\fR option.
.sp
If the \fIelementList\fR argument is not specified, a list is returned
containing the currently defined elements of \fIstyle\fR.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBstyle layout\fR \fIstyle\fR \fIelement\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue\fR? ?\fIoption value ...\fR?
This command is similar to the \fBconfigure\fR widget command except
that it modifies options used by \fIstyle\fR for laying out \fIelement\fR
instead of modifying options for the overall treectrl widget.
If no \fIoption\fR is specified, the command returns a list with
\fIoption\fR-\fIvalue\fR pairs describing
all of the available options for the layout.
If \fIoption\fR is specified with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns
the value of the named option.
If one or more \fIoption\fR-\fIvalue\fR pairs are specified, then the command
modifies the given option(s) to have the given value(s) for the layout;
in this case the command returns an empty string.
.sp
The options of a layout have effect on exactly the one element \fIelement\fR
managed by \fIstyle\fR.
The following options are supported:
.RS
.TP
\fB\fB-detach\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR
Specifies whether the element should be positioned by itself,
i.e. independent from the other elements.  The default is false.
.TP
\fB\fB-center\fR\fR \fIflags\fR
\fIFlags\fR is a string that contains zero or more of the characters
\fBx\fR or \fBy\fR.
\fBx\fR causes the element to be centered horizontally,
\fBy\fR causes the element to be centered vertically.
When more than one element has -center layout, all the elements between the
first and last with -center layout in the style's list of elements are centered
as a group.  Consider the following when there is another element to the right
of MyElement:
.nf

.t style layout MyStyle MyElement -expand we
.t style layout MyStyle MyElement -center x

.fi
With the first call, MyElement will be centered only within the space that
is not occupied by the other element, so MyElement will appear off-center
towards the left of the style.  With the second call, MyElement will be
centered within the style so long as it doesn't overlap the other element.
.TP
\fB\fB-draw\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR
This is a \fBper-state\fR option that determines whether
an element should be drawn. If the value of the option evaluates to false for a given
item state, then the element is not drawn, although it still consumes space in
the layout.
.TP
\fB\fB-expand\fR\fR \fIflags\fR
This option allows the external padding around the element
to increase when a style has more screen space than it needs.
\fIFlags\fR is a string that contains zero or more of the characters
\fBn\fR, \fBs\fR, \fBw\fR or \fBe\fR.
Each letter refers to the padding on the top, bottom,
left, or right that should be allowed to increase.
This option is typically used to justify an element.
The default is an empty string.
.TP
\fB\fB-iexpand\fR\fR \fIflags\fR
This option allows the internal padding of the element
and the display area of the element to increase
when a style has more screen space than it needs.
\fIFlags\fR  is a string that contains zero or more of the characters
\fBx\fR, \fBy\fR, \fBn\fR, \fBs\fR, \fBw\fR or \fBe\fR.
For \fBn\fR, \fBs\fR, \fBw\fR and \fBe\fR, each letter refers to the
padding on the top, bottom, left, or right that should be allowed to increase.
For \fBx\fR and \fBy\fR, each letter refers to the horizontal and
vertical screen space the element can display itself in (i.e., the space
between the padding). Note that if the
\fB-union\fR option is specified for this element, then the \fBx\fR and
\fBy\fR flags have no effect, since the size of an element with
\fB-union\fR layout is determined by the elements it surrounds.
The default is an empty string.
.TP
\fB\fB-indent\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR
For item styles, this option specifies whether the element should be
positioned to the right of the button/line area in the tree column.  When
false, the element is displayed beneath the buttons and lines in the tree
column. This option is ignored unless the \fB-detach\fR option is true.
.sp
For header styles, this option specifies whether the element should be
positioned to the right of the -canvaspadx padding.  This option is ignored
unless the \fB-detach\fR option is true or the \fB-union\fR option is
specified.
.sp
The default is true.
.TP
\fB\fB-ipadx\fR\fR \fIamount\fR
.TP
\fB\fB-ipady\fR\fR \fIamount\fR
\fIAmount\fR specifies how much internal padding to leave on the left and
right (for \fB-ipadx\fR) or top and bottom (for \fB-ipady\fR) sides of
the element. \fIAmount\fR may be a list of two values to specify padding for
the two sides separately.  The default value is 0.  This option is typically
used with the \fB-union\fR layout option, to create space around the
enclosed elements.
.TP
\fB\fB-minheight\fR\fR \fIpixels\fR
.TP
\fB\fB-height\fR\fR \fIpixels\fR
.TP
\fB\fB-maxheight\fR\fR \fIpixels\fR
Specifies the minimum, fixed, and maximum height of the display area of the element.
The default is unspecified.

\fB\fB-minwidth\fR\fR \fIpixels\fR
.TP
\fB\fB-width\fR\fR \fIpixels\fR
.TP
\fB\fB-maxwidth\fR\fR \fIpixels\fR

The default is unspecified.
.TP
\fB\fB-padx\fR\fR \fIamount\fR
.TP
\fB\fB-pady\fR\fR \fIamount\fR
\fIAmount\fR specifies how much external padding to leave on the left and
right (for \fB-padx\fR) or top and bottom (for \fB-pady\fR) sides of the
element. \fIAmount\fR may be a list of two values to specify padding for the
two sides separately.  The default value is 0.
.TP
\fB\fB-squeeze\fR\fR \fIflags\fR
This option allows the display area of an element to decrease when a
style has less space than it needs.
\fIFlags\fR is a string that contains zero or more of the characters
\fBx\fR or \fBy\fR.
\fBx\fR allows display area to decrease horizontally,
\fBy\fR allows display area to decrease vertically.
This option is typically used for \fBtext\fR elements and will cause
the text element to display an ellipsis (...) and/or wrap lines.
The default is an empty string.
.TP
\fB\fB-sticky\fR\fR \fIflags\fR
This option controls how the actual display information (image, text, etc)
of an element is positioned (or stretched) within its display area.
\fIFlags\fR is a string that contains zero or more of the characters \fBn\fR,
\fBs\fR, \fBw\fR or \fBe\fR. Each letter refers to the top, bottom, left
or right side of the display area that the display information should "stick" to.
The default is nswe.
.TP
\fB\fB-union\fR\fR \fIelementList\fR
Specifies a list of other elements which this element will surround.
The size of an element with \fB-union\fR layout is determined by the
size and position of the elements in \fIelementList\fR.
The \fB-ipadx\fR and \fB-ipady\fR options in this case refer to the
distance of the edges of the display area of this element from those elements
it surrounds. This option is typically used to display a selection rectangle
around a piece of text. If none of the elements in \fIelementList\fR are
visible, then the element is not displayed.
.TP
\fB\fB-visible\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR
This is a \fBper-state\fR option that controls visibility
of an element. If the value of the option evaluates to false for a given
item state, then the element is not displayed and consumes no space in the layout.

\fIpathName\fR \fBtheme\fR \fIoption\fR ?\fIarg ...\fR?
This command is used to interact with the platform-specific theme.
The exact behavior of the command depends on the \fIoption\fR argument
that follows the \fBtheme\fR argument.
The following forms of the command are supported:
.RS
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBtheme platform\fR
Returns the API used to draw themed parts of the treectrl.  On Mac OS X the result
is always \fBaqua\fR.  On MS Windows the result is \fBvisualstyles\fR if the
uxtheme.dll was loaded and visual themes are in use, otherwise \fBX11\fR is
returned to indicate the Tk Xlib calls are drawing the themed parts.
On Unix systems the result is \fBgtk\fR if the Gtk+ version of treectrl
was built, otherwise \fBX11\fR is returned.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBtheme setwindowtheme\fR \fIappname\fR
The command is available on MS Windows only.  If \fIappname\fR is "Explorer" then

This command is used to query and change the horizontal position of the
information displayed in the treectrl's window.
It can take any of the following forms:
.RS
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBxview\fR
Returns a list containing two elements.
Each element is a real fraction between 0 and 1;  together they describe
the horizontal span that is visible in the window.
For example, if the first element is .2 and the second element is .6,
20% of the tree's area
is off-screen to the left, the middle 40% is visible
in the window, and 40% of the tree is off-screen to the right.
These are the same values passed to scrollbars via the \fB-xscrollcommand\fR

.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBxview moveto\fR \fIfraction\fR
Adjusts the view in the window so that \fIfraction\fR of the

\fIFraction\fR must be a fraction between 0 and 1.
A \fB<Scroll-x>\fR event is generated.
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fBxview scroll\fR \fInumber\fR \fIwhat\fR
This command shifts the view in the window left or right according to
\fInumber\fR and \fIwhat\fR.
\fINumber\fR must be an integer.
\fIWhat\fR must be either \fBunits\fR or \fBpages\fR or an abbreviation

If \fIwhat\fR is \fBunits\fR, the view adjusts left or right in units
determined by the \fB-xscrollincrement\fR option (which may be zero,
see the description of that option).
If \fIwhat\fR is \fBpages\fR then the view
adjusts in units of nine-tenths the window's width.
If \fInumber\fR is negative then information farther to the left

It can take any of the following forms:
.RS
.TP
\fIpathName\fR \fByview\fR
Returns a list containing two elements.
Each element is a real fraction between 0 and 1;  together they describe
the vertical span that is visible in the window.
For example, if the first element is .6 and the second element is 1.0,
the lowest 40% of the tree's area is visible in the window.
These are the same values passed to scrollbars via the \fB-yscrollcommand\fR

.SH HEADERS
A treectrl widget can display zero or more rows of column headers.
When a treectrl widget is created, a single row of column headers (aka a header-row)
is created as well; this top header-row cannot be deleted.  Additional header-rows
can be created with the \fBheader create\fR command and deleted with \fBheader delete\fR.
.PP
There are no commands for changing the order of header-rows;  they are displayed
from top to bottom in the order they were created.
.PP
Drag-and-drop reordering of column headers is supported within a widget.
To control column header drag-and-drop, use the \fBheader dragconfigure\fR command.
.PP
Header-rows in a treectrl may be specified in a number of ways.
See \fBHEADER DESCRIPTION\fR below.
.PP
The appearance of individual column headers within a header-row may be
customized in two different ways:
.IP [1]
By configuring various column header options with the \fBheader configure\fR command
.IP [2]
By assigning a style to a column header with the \fBheader style\fR command.

.TP
\fB\fB-borderwidth\fR\fR \fIsize\fR
Specifies a non-negative value indicating the width
of the 3-D border to draw around the outside of the column header
(if such a border is being drawn;  the \fB-relief\fR column option
determines this).
The value may have any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR.
.TP
\fB\fB-button\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR
Indicates whether or not the column header should be treated like a pushbutton.
When this option is true, the default bindings track <Button-1> events

.TP
\fB\fB-state\fR\fR \fIstate\fR
Specifies one of three states for the column header: \fBnormal\fR, \fBactive\fR,
or \fBpressed\fR. The active state is used when the mouse is over the header.
The pressed state is used when the mouse button is pressed in the header.
.sp
Changing the value of this option also affects the current set of
\fBheader states\fR for the column header, which may

the widget option \fB-headerforeground\fR is used.  The default is unspecified.
.TP
\fB\fB-textlines\fR\fR \fIcount\fR
Specifies the maximum number of lines of text to display in the column title.
If this value is zero, the number of lines displayed is determined by any newline
characters and the effects of wrapping when the column width is less than
needed. The default is 1. Note: Under OSX/Aqua this value is always set to 1 when the

be one of the following:
.TP
\fIid\fR

\fItagExpr\fR \fIQUALIFIERS\fR
\fITagExpr\fR is a tag expression (see \fBITEM AND COLUMN TAGS\fR) against
which every header-row's tags are tested for a match.
You may run into trouble if \fItagExpr\fR looks like a header-row id

visible, then header-rows are not displayed.
.TP
\fB!visible\fR
When this qualifier is given, only header-rows that are *not* displayed are
matched.
.PP
.SH COLUMNS
A treectrl widget is capable of displaying multiple columns next to each
other.
An item can be considered as a row, which reaches over all columns.
.PP
Columns in a treectrl may be specified in a number of ways.
See \fBCOLUMN DESCRIPTION\fR below.
.PP
There is always one special column, the \fBtail\fR column, which fills
all space to the right of the last ordinary column.
This column has no unique ID;
it can only be specified by the keyword \fBtail\fR.
.PP
For compatibility with older versions of treectrl (which did not support more
than one row of column headers) any of the configuration options mentioned in
the \fBHEADERS\fR section, such as \fB-arrow\fR, \fB-text\fR, etc,
may be passed to the top header-row through the \fBcolumn configure\fR
command and queried with the \fBcolumn cget\fR command.
.PP
The following options are supported for columns:
.TP
\fB\fB-expand\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR
Indicates whether or not any extra horizontal space should be distributed
to this column.
This option has no effect if the \fB-width\fR option is set.
.TP
\fB\fB-gridleftcolor\fR\fR \fIcolor\fR
.TP
\fB\fB-gridrightcolor\fR\fR \fIcolor\fR
Specifies the color of the lines drawn down the left and right edges of the
column.  These so-called "grid lines" are drawn over the elements of each item
style in the column and down into the whitespace region below any items.
The default value for each option is an empty string meaning no lines are drawn.
.TP
\fB\fB-itembackground\fR\fR \fIcolorList\fR
Specifies a list of zero or more colors, which are used as
alternating background colors for items in this column.
See also the \fB-backgroundmode\fR widget option for more on this.
.TP
\fB\fB-itemjustify\fR\fR \fIjustification\fR
This option determines how the item styles in this column are aligned
horizontally.
Must be one of \fBleft\fR, \fBcenter\fR, or \fBright\fR. The default
value is an empty string (for compatibility with older versions), in which
case the column option \fB-justify\fR is used to align item styles in this
column.
.TP
\fB\fB-itemstyle\fR\fR \fIstyle\fR
\fIStyle\fR is the name of a style that should be set in this column
for newly-created items.
.TP
\fB\fB-justify\fR\fR \fIjustification\fR
This option determines how item styles in this column are aligned horizontally
unless overriden by the \fB-itemjustify\fR option for this column.
Must be one of \fBleft\fR (the default), \fBcenter\fR, or \fBright\fR.
.sp
For compatibility with older versions of treectrl (which did not allow multiple
rows of column headers), changing the value of this option also changes the
\fB-justify\fR option of the column header in the top \fBheader-row\fR.
.TP
\fB\fB-lock\fR\fR \fIlock\fR
This option allows a column to stick to the left or right edge of the window.
A locked column scrolls vertically but not horizontally.
Must be one of \fBnone\fR (the default), \fBleft\fR, or \fBright\fR.
.TP
\fB\fB-maxwidth\fR\fR \fIsize\fR
Specifies the maximum size, in screen units, that will be permitted for this column.
If \fIsize\fR is an empty string, then there is no limit on the maximum size of the column.
This option has no effect if the \fB-width\fR option is set.
.TP
\fB\fB-minwidth\fR\fR \fIsize\fR
Specifies the minimum size, in screen units, that will be permitted for this column.
If \fIsize\fR is an empty string, then the minimum size of the column is zero.
This option has no effect if the \fB-width\fR option is set.
.TP
\fB\fB-resize\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR
Specifies a boolean value that indicates whether the user should be allowed to
resize the column by dragging the edge of the column's header. Default is true.
.TP
\fB\fB-squeeze\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR
Specifies a boolean value that indicates whether or not the column should
shrink when the content width of the treectrl is less than the total needed width
of all visible columns. Defaults to false, which means the column will not get
smaller than its needed width. The column will not get smaller than the value
of its \fB-minwidth\fR option, if specified. This option has no effect if the
\fB-width\fR option is set.
.TP
\fB\fB-stepwidth\fR\fR \fIsize\fR
Deprecated. Use the treectrl's \fB-itemwidthmultiple\fR option instead.
.TP
\fB\fB-tags\fR\fR \fItagList\fR
\fITagList\fR is a list of tag names that can be used to identify the column.
See also the \fBcolumn tag\fR command.
.TP
\fB\fB-uniform\fR\fR \fIgroup\fR
When a non-empty value is supplied, this option places the column in a
\fIuniform group\fR with other columns that have the same value for
\fB-uniform\fR. The space for columns belonging to a uniform group is
allocated so that their sizes are always in strict proportion to their
\fB-weight\fR values.
This option is based on the grid geometry manager.
.TP
\fB\fB-visible\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR
Indicates whether or not the column should be displayed.
.TP
\fB\fB-weight\fR\fR \fIinteger\fR
Sets the relative weight for apportioning any extra space among columns.
A weight of zero (0) indicates the column will not deviate from its requested
size.  A column whose weight is two will grow at twice the rate as a column of
weight one when extra space is allocated to columns.
This option is based on the grid geometry manager.
.TP
\fB\fB-width\fR\fR \fIsize\fR
Specifies a fixed width for the column. If this value is an empty string,
then the column width is calculated as the maximum of:
a) the width requested by items;
b) the width requested by the column's header;
and c) the column's \fB-minwidth\fR option.
This calculated width is also affected by the \fB-expand\fR,
\fB-squeeze\fR, \fB-uniform\fR and \fB-weight\fR options. In any case,
the calculated width will not be greater than the \fB-maxwidth\fR option,
if specified.
.TP
\fB\fB-widthhack\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR
Deprecated. Use the treectrl's \fB-itemwidthequal\fR option instead.
.PP
.SH "COLUMN DESCRIPTION"
Many of the commands and options for a treectrl take as an argument a
description of which column to operate on.
See the \fBEXAMPLES\fR section for examples.
The initial part of a column description must begin with one of the following terms:
.TP
\fIid\fR
Specifies the unique column identifier, where \fIid\fR should be
the return value of a prior call of the \fBcolumn create\fR widget command.
See also the \fB-columnprefix\fR option.
.TP
\fIQUALIFIERS\fR
Specifies a list of qualifiers. This gives the same result as \fBall\fR followed
by \fIQUALIFIERS\fR; i.e., every column is tested for a match.
.TP
\fItagExpr\fR \fIQUALIFIERS\fR
\fITagExpr\fR is a tag expression (see \fBITEM AND COLUMN TAGS\fR) against which
every column's tags are tested for a match.
This keyword cannot be followed by any modifiers unless a single column is
matched. You may run into trouble if \fItagExpr\fR looks like a column id
or other keyword; also, \fItagExpr\fR must look like a single list element
since column descriptions are properly-formed lists. To be safe you may want to
use the \fBtag\fR qualifier followed by \fItagExpr\fR.
.TP
\fBall\fR \fIQUALIFIERS\fR
Indicates every column, including the tail column if the command allows it,
which match \fIQUALIFIERS\fR.
.TP
\fBfirst\fR \fIQUALIFIERS\fR
Indicates the leftmost column of the treectrl which matches \fIQUALIFIERS\fR.
.TP
\fBend\fR \fIQUALIFIERS\fR
.TP
\fBlast\fR \fIQUALIFIERS\fR
Indicates the rightmost column of the treectrl (but not the tail column)
which matches \fIQUALIFIERS\fR.
.TP
\fBlist\fR \fIcolumnDescs\fR
\fIColumnDescs\fR is a list (a single argument, i.e. "list {a b c}" not "list a b c")
of other column descriptions.
This keyword cannot be followed by any modifiers unless a single column is matched.
.TP
\fBorder\fR \fIn\fR \fIQUALIFIERS\fR
Indicates the \fIn\fRth column in the list of columns as returned by the
\fBcolumn order\fR command.
.TP
\fBrange\fR \fIfirst last\fR \fIQUALIFIERS\fR
\fIFirst\fR and \fIlast\fR specify a range of columns.
This keyword cannot be followed by any modifiers unless a single column is specified.
.TP
\fBtail\fR
Indicates the ever-present tail column of the treectrl.
.TP
\fBtree\fR
Indicates the column specified by the -treecolumn option of the treectrl.
.PP
.PP
The initial part of the column description (matching any of the values above)
may be followed by one or more \fImodifier\fRs.
A modifier changes the column used relative to
the description up to this point.
It may be specified in any of the following forms:
.TP
\fBnext\fR \fIQUALIFIERS\fR
Use the column to the right matching \fIQUALIFIERS\fR.
.TP
\fBprev\fR \fIQUALIFIERS\fR
Use the column to the left matching \fIQUALIFIERS\fR.
.TP
\fBspan\fR \fIN\fR \fIQUALIFIERS\fR
Starting with (and counting) the single column specified by the column
description so far, walk at most \fIN\fR columns rightwards, stopping if any
of the following conditions is met:
.RS
.IP [1]
A column does not match \fIQUALIFIERS\fR.
.IP [2]
A column's -lock option does not match the first column's -lock option.
.RE
.PP
The word \fIQUALIFIERS\fR above represents a sequence of zero or more of the
following terms that changes which column is chosen:
.TP
\fBtag\fR \fItagExpr\fR
\fITagExpr\fR is a tag expression (see \fBITEM AND COLUMN TAGS\fR) against which
a column's tags are tested for a match.
.TP
\fB!tail\fR
When this qualifier is given, the tail column is not matched.
.TP
\fBvisible\fR
When this qualifier is given, only columns whose \fB-visible\fR option is
TRUE are considered.
.TP
\fB!visible\fR
When this qualifier is given, only columns whose \fB-visible\fR option is
FALSE are considered.
.PP
.SH STATES
For every column header and every item a set of boolean states is managed.
These states play an integral role in the appearance of headers and items;
that role is described in detail in \fBPER-STATE OPTIONS\fR.
The set of states available to headers is separate from the set of states
available to items.
.TP
HEADER STATES
The following states are predefined for every column header:
.RS
.TP
\fBactive\fR
.TP
\fBnormal\fR
.TP
\fBpressed\fR
These states mirror the value of a column header's configuration option
\fB-state\fR.  Exactly one of these states is set at any time in each
column header.
.TP
\fBdown\fR
.TP
\fBup\fR
These states mirror the value of a column header's configuration option
\fB-arrow\fR.  If the \fB-arrow\fR option is \fBnone\fR, then neither
of these states is set.
.TP
\fBbackground\fR
This state is set for every header-row if the toplevel window containing the
treectrl is not the foreground active window.  This state cannot be modified
by means of a widget command, but is maintained in reaction to the <Activate>
and <Deactivate> windowing system events.
.TP
\fBfocus\fR
This state is set for every header-row if the treectrl widget currently has the
focus. It cannot be modified by means of a widget command, but is maintained
in reaction to the <FocusIn> and <FocusOut> windowing system events.
.RE
.TP
ITEM STATES
The following states are predefined for every item:
.RS
.TP
\fBactive\fR
At all times this state is set for exactly one item. The active item is
used with keyboard navigation.
When the treectrl widget is created or when the active item is deleted,
the root item will become the active item.
This state can be modified by means of the widget command \fBactivate\fR.
.TP
\fBenabled\fR
This state is set for every item when it is created.
Disabled items cannot be selected and are ignored by the default bindings
when navigating via the keyboard.
This state can be modified by means of the widget command \fBitem enabled\fR.
.TP
\fBfocus\fR
This state is set for every item
if the treectrl widget currently has the focus.
It cannot be modified by means of a widget command,
but is maintained in reaction to the <FocusIn> and <FocusOut> events.
.TP
\fBopen\fR
If this state is switched on,
the descendants of the item are displayed
- the item is expanded.
If this state is switched off,
the descendants of the item are not displayed
- the item is collapsed.
For a new item this state is switched on by default.
This state can be modified by means of the widget commands
\fBitem expand\fR, \fBitem collapse\fR, or \fBitem toggle\fR.
.TP
\fBselected\fR
This state is set for every item included in the selection.
It can be modified by means of the widget command \fBselection\fR.
.RE
.sp
By means of the \fBstate define\fR widget command,
up to 27 additional states can be defined.
.PP
.SH "PER-STATE OPTIONS"
The visual appearance of an item can change depending on the state the item
is in, such as being the active item, being included in the selection, being
collapsed, or some combination of those or other states. When a configuration
option is described as \fIper-state\fR, it means the option describes a
value which varies depending on the state of the item. If a per-state option is
specified as a single value, the value is used for all states. Otherwise
the per-state option must be specified as an even-numbered list. For example,
to use the font "Times 12 bold" in a \fBtext\fR element regardless of the
item state you can write:
.nf

$T element configure MyTextElement -font {{Times 12 bold}}

.fi
However, to use a different font when the item is selected you could write:
.nf

$T element configure MyTextElement -font {{Courier 10} selected {Times 12 bold} {}}

.fi
In the example above, the -font option reads "value stateList value stateList".
If \fIstateList\fR is an empty list, the preceding \fIvalue\fR is used regardless
of the item state. A non-empty stateList specifies a list of states which must be
set for the item in order to use the preceding value. Each stateList can also
include state names preceded by a ! sign, indicating the state must *not* be
set for the item. For example:
.nf

$T element configure MyRectElement -fill {blue {selected focus} gray {selected !focus}}

.fi
In the example above, the \fBrect\fR element is filled with blue when the treectrl
has the focus and the item is selected. If the treectrl does not have the focus, the
example specifies that gray should be used for selected items. Also note that if the
item is not selected, no color is specified for the -fill option.
.PP
Each value-stateList pair is checked in order from left to right. The value
associated with the first stateList that matches the current item state is
used. So stateLists should be listed from most-specific to least-specific.
.nf

$T element configure MyRectElement -fill {gray {selected} blue {selected focus}}

.fi
Written this way, gray will always be used for selected items since
it appears first, and blue will never be used for selected items regardless
of the focus.
.PP
A value followed by an empty stateList should always be last since it will be
chosen regardless of the item's state.
.SH "ELEMENTS AND STYLES"
\fIElements\fR and \fIstyles\fR are the core visual building blocks that
determine the appearance of items (and optionally column headers).
An element can be of type \fBbitmap\fR, \fBborder\fR, \fBheader\fR, \fBimage\fR,
\fBrect\fR, \fBtext\fR or \fBwindow\fR.  One or more elements can be
assigned to a style which manages the layout of those elements.  It may be
helpful to think of an element as a Tk widget and a style as a Tk geometry
manager such as \fBgrid\fR, \fBpack\fR or \fBplace\fR.
.PP
When an element is created by the \fBelement create\fR command, that element is
referred to as a \fImaster\fR element.  Similarly, a style that is created by
\fBstyle create\fR is called a \fImaster\fR style.  When a master style is
assigned to a column of an item by the \fBitem style set\fR command, a new
instance style is allocated
which refers back to the master style and its master elements.  In this way, a
single master style may be shared by multiple columns of multiple items.  If a
master element or master style is modified, those changes affect all the items
whose instance styles and elements refer to those masters.
.PP
Although you probably want the font and selection-rectangle colors to be shared by all items,
you most likely don't want the text to be the same for every column of every
item.  The \fBitem element configure\fR command can be used to override a
master element's configuration options for a specific column of an item.  When you call
\fBitem element configure\fR (or \fBitem text\fR or \fBitem image\fR), a
new instance element is allocated, if one wasn't already, and that instance
element's options will override the master element's.
.PP
All of the element configuration options described below are unspecified
by default, meaning that no value whatsoever has been given to the option.
It may seem strange to you that a boolean option would be unspecified
instead of simply "true" or "false". The reason for this is that when an
instance element used by an item has no value specified for an option, that
instance element refers to the master element for the value of that option.
This allows items which are displaying a certain element to be redisplayed
when the master element's options change.  The benefits of this are that you
don't need to configure the font or text color for every item in a treectrl
individually, saving CPU cycles and memory.
.PP
You may be thinking that to change the color of a selection rectangle you
would call \fBitem element configure\fR when an item was selected, but that
is not usually the case.  It would be wasteful to allocate a new instance
element for a selection rectangle just because an item became selected.  The
solution is to allow the appearance of the selection rectangle master element
to change based on the selected state of the item.  This is described in
\fBPER-STATE OPTIONS\fR.
.PP
For each element type there is a section below describing the options
which can modify an element of that type.
.SH "BITMAP ELEMENT"
An element of type \fBbitmap\fR can be used to display a bitmap in an item.
The following options are supported for bitmap elements:
.TP
\fB\fB-background\fR\fR \fIcolor\fR
Specifies as a \fBper-state\fR option
the color to use for each of the bitmap's '0' valued pixels.
If the value for a certain state is an empty string (the default),
the bitmap is drawn transparent.
.TP
\fB\fB-bitmap\fR\fR \fIbitmap\fR
Specifies as a \fBper-state\fR option
the bitmap to display in the element.
.TP
\fB\fB-draw\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR
Deprecated; use the style layout option \fB-draw\fR instead.
Specifies as a \fBper-state\fR option
whether to draw the element. If the value for a certain state is an empty
string (the default), it is treated as true and the element will be drawn.
.TP
\fB\fB-foreground\fR\fR \fIcolor\fR
Specifies as a \fBper-state\fR option
the color to use for each of the bitmap's '1' valued pixels.
If the value for a certain state is an empty string (the default),
the bitmap's foreground color is black.
.PP
.SH "BORDER ELEMENT"
An element of type \fBborder\fR can be used to display a 3D border in an item.
The following options are supported for border elements:
.TP
\fB\fB-background\fR\fR \fIcolor\fR
Specifies as a \fBper-state\fR option
the color to use for the background of the border.
If the value for a certain state is an empty string (the default), the
element will not be drawn.
.TP
\fB\fB-draw\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR
Deprecated; use the style layout option \fB-draw\fR instead.
Specifies as a \fBper-state\fR option
whether to draw the element. If the value for a certain state is an empty
string (the default), it is treated as true and the element will be drawn.
.TP
\fB\fB-filled\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR
Specifies whether the interior of the border should be filled with
the background color. If this option is unspecified (the default),
it it treated as false which means that only the edges of the
border will be drawn.
.TP
\fB\fB-height\fR\fR \fIsize\fR
Specifies the height of the border. If this value is unspecified
(the default), the border will be exactly as tall as its display area as
determined by the style layout options.
.TP
\fB\fB-relief\fR\fR \fIrelief\fR
Specifies as a \fBper-state\fR option the
relief of the border. If the value for a certain state is an empty string
(the default), it is treated as flat.
For acceptable values see the description of the
\fB-relief\fR option in the \fBoptions\fR manual page.
.TP
\fB\fB-thickness\fR\fR \fIthickness\fR
Specifies the thickness of the edges of the border.
.TP
\fB\fB-width\fR\fR \fIsize\fR
Specifies the width of the border. If this value is unspecified
(the default), the border will be exactly as wide as its display area as
determined by the style layout options.
.PP
.SH "HEADER ELEMENT"
An element of type \fBheader\fR can be used to display a themed (or
non-themed) column header background and sort arrow.  Header elements are
best used surrounding other elements via the style layout option \fB-union\fR,
so that the sort arrow can be displayed correctly.
.PP
Some of the options for this type of element get their default values from
the \fBheader state\fR flags that are set in the column header in which
the element is displayed. In particular, the \fB-arrow\fR option gets its
default value by checking the \fBup\fR and \fBdown\fR state flags, and
the \fB-state\fR option gets its default value by checking the \fBactive\fR,
\fBnormal\fR, and \fBpressed\fR state flags.  If elements of this type are
displayed in an item instead of a column header, then this behavior isn't used
since those state flags aren't meaningful for items.
.PP
The following options are supported for header elements:
.TP
\fB\fB-arrow\fR\fR \fIdirection\fR
Indicates whether or not a sort arrow should be drawn. \fIDirection\fR must
have one of the values \fBnone\fR, \fBup\fR, or \fBdown\fR.  If
unspecified, the value defaults to \fBnone\fR (but see the note above
regarding header states).
.TP
\fB\fB-arrowbitmap\fR\fR \fIbitmap\fR
Specifies as a \fBper-state\fR option the name of a
bitmap to use to draw the sort arrow if this element's -arrow option is not
\fBnone\fR.
This option is ignored when drawing themed headers on Mac OS X.
.TP
\fB\fB-arrowgravity\fR\fR \fIdirection\fR
Indicates onto which side the sort arrow should be packed,
if there is more space available for drawing the arrow than needed.
\fIDirection\fR must be either \fBleft\fR or \fBright\fR. If unspecified,
the value defaults to \fBleft\fR.
This option is ignored when drawing themed headers on Mac OS X.
.TP
\fB\fB-arrowimage\fR\fR \fIimage\fR
Specifies as a \fBper-state\fR option the name of an
image to use to draw the sort arrow if this element's -arrow option is not
\fBnone\fR. If an image is specified for a certain state, it overrides the
-arrowbitmap option.
This option is ignored when drawing themed headers on Mac OS X.
.TP
\fB\fB-arrowpadx\fR\fR \fIamount\fR
\fIAmount\fR specifies how much padding to leave on the left and right of the
sort arrow. \fIAmount\fR may be a list of two values to specify padding for
the left and right separately. If unspecified, the value defaults to 6.
Padding to the right of the sort arrow is ignored when drawing themed headers
on Mac OS X.
.TP
\fB\fB-arrowpady\fR\fR \fIamount\fR
\fIAmount\fR specifies how much padding to leave on the top and bottom of the
sort arrow.  \fIAmount\fR may be a list of two values to specify padding for
the top and bottom separately. If unspecified, the value defaults to 0.
This option is ignored when drawing themed headers on Mac OS X.
.TP
\fB\fB-arrowside\fR\fR \fIside\fR
Indicates on which side of the element the sort arrow should be drawn.
\fISide\fR must be either \fBleft\fR or \fBright\fR. If unspecified, the
value defaults to \fBright\fR.
.TP
\fB\fB-background\fR\fR \fIcolor\fR
Specifies as a \fBper-state\fR option the color to
use for the non-themed background and 3D border.  If unspecified, the value
defaults to either the Tk button widget's -background or -activebackground
color.
.TP
\fB\fB-borderwidth\fR\fR \fIsize\fR
Specifies a non-negative value indicating the width of the non-themed 3D
border to draw around the inner edges of the element (if such a border is being
drawn; the \fB-relief\fR option determines this).
The value may have any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR.
If unspecified, the value defaults to 2.
.TP
\fB\fB-state\fR\fR \fIstate\fR
Specifies one of three states for the element: \fBnormal\fR, \fBactive\fR,
or \fBpressed\fR. The active state is used when the mouse is over the header.
The pressed state is used when the mouse button is pressed in the header.
If unspecified, the value defaults to \fBnormal\fR (but see the note above
regarding header states).
.PP
.SH "IMAGE ELEMENT"
An element of type \fBimage\fR can be used to display an image in an item.
The following options are supported for image elements:
.TP
\fB\fB-draw\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR
Deprecated; use the style layout option \fB-draw\fR instead.
Specifies as a \fBper-state\fR option
whether to draw the element. If the value for a certain state is an empty
string (the default), it is treated as true and the element will be drawn.
.TP
\fB\fB-height\fR\fR \fIsize\fR
Specifies the requested height of the display area for this element.
If unspecified (the default), the element requests a height equal to the
height of the image, or zero if there is no image.
.TP
\fB\fB-image\fR\fR \fIimage\fR
Specifies as a \fBper-state\fR option
the image to display in the element.
.TP
\fB\fB-tiled\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR
Specifies a boolean indicating whether or not the image should be tiled
horizontally and vertically within the display area for the element.
The default is false.
.TP
\fB\fB-width\fR\fR \fIsize\fR
Specifies the requested width of the display area for this element.
If unspecified (the default), the element requests a width equal to the
width of the image, or zero if there is no image.
.PP
.SH "RECTANGLE ELEMENT"
An element of type \fBrect\fR can be used to display a rectangle in an item.
The following options are supported for rectangle elements:
.TP
\fB\fB-draw\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR
Deprecated; use the style layout option \fB-draw\fR instead.
Specifies as a \fBper-state\fR option
whether to draw the element. If the value for a certain state is an empty
string (the default), it is treated as true and the element will be drawn.
.TP
\fB\fB-fill\fR\fR \fIcolor\fR
Specifies as a \fBper-state\fR option the color to
be used to fill the rectangle's area.
If the color for a certain state is an empty string (the default), then
the rectangle will not be filled (but the outline may still be drawn).
.TP
\fB\fB-height\fR\fR \fIsize\fR
Specifies the height of the rectangle. If this value is unspecified
(the default), the rectangle will be exactly as tall as its display area as
determined by the style layout options.
.TP
\fB\fB-open\fR\fR \fIopen\fR
Specifies as a \fBper-state\fR option
which edges of the rectangle should be left open.
This option may be used to get an incomplete drawing of the outline and rounded
corners, often to give the appearance of the rectangle extending over adjacent
columns or items.
\fIOpen\fR is a string that contains zero or more of the characters
\fBn\fR, \fBs\fR, \fBe\fR or \fBw\fR.
Each letter refers to an edge (north, south, east, or west) on which the outline
and rounded corners will not be drawn.
The default is the empty string, which causes all rounded corners and the outline
to be drawn.
.TP
\fB\fB-outline\fR\fR \fIcolor\fR
Specifies as a \fBper-state\fR option the color to
be used to draw the outline of the rectangle.
If the color for a certain state is an empty string (the default),
then no outline is drawn for the rectangle.
.TP
\fB\fB-outlinewidth\fR\fR \fIoutlineWidth\fR
Specifies the width of the outline to be drawn around the rectangle's region.
\fIoutlineWidth\fR may be in any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR.

is drawn.
.TP
\fB\fB-rx\fR\fR \fIradius\fR
.TP
\fB\fB-ry\fR\fR \fIradius\fR
Specifies the x and y radius of each corner of a rounded rectangle
in any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR.
.TP
\fB\fB-showfocus\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR
Specifies a boolean value indicating whether
a "focus ring" should be drawn around the rectangle,
if the item containing the rectangle is the active item
and the treectrl widget currently has the focus.
If this option is specified as an empty string (the default),
then a focus rectangle is not drawn.
.TP
\fB\fB-width\fR\fR \fIsize\fR
Specifies the width of the rectangle. If this value is unspecified
(the default), the rectangle will be exactly as wide as its display area as
determined by the style layout options.
.PP
.SH "TEXT ELEMENT"
An element of type \fBtext\fR can be used to display a text in an item.
The following options are supported for text elements:
.TP
\fB\fB-draw\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR
Deprecated; use the style layout option \fB-draw\fR instead.
Specifies as a \fBper-state\fR option
whether to draw the element. If the value for a certain state is an empty
string (the default), it is treated as true and the element will be drawn.
.TP
\fB\fB-data\fR\fR \fIdata\fR
Specifies a value that together with the \fB-datatype\fR and \fB-format\fR
options will be displayed as text.
.TP
\fB\fB-datatype\fR\fR \fIdataType\fR

Acceptable values are \fBdouble\fR, \fBinteger\fR, \fBlong\fR,
\fBstring\fR, or \fBtime\fR.
.TP
\fB\fB-elidepos\fR\fR \fIposition\fR
\fIPosition\fR specifies where to elide long lines of text.
\fIPosition\fR must be one of \fBstart\fR, \fBmiddle\fR or \fBend\fR.
When the width of the text displayed by this element is greater than the
display-width of the element, a portion of the text is replaced with "...".
This option has no effect on multi-line text, which is always elided at the end.
If this option is unspecified (the default), \fBend\fR is used.
See the \fB-width\fR option for a description of how the maximum line
length is determined.
.TP
\fB\fB-fill\fR\fR \fIcolor\fR
Specifies as a \fBper-state\fR option the
foreground color to use when displaying text.
.sp
In items, if the color for a certain state is an empty string (the default),
then the text will be displayed using the color specified by the treectrl's
\fB-foreground\fR option.
.sp
In headers, if the color for a certain state is an empty string,
then the text will be displayed using the system theme color on Gtk+; if that
color is not specified then the \fB-headerforeground\fR option is used.
.TP
\fB\fB-font\fR\fR \fIfont\fR
Specifies as a \fBper-state\fR option the font to
use when displaying the text.
If the font for a certain state is an empty string, the text is displayed
using the font specified by the treectrl's \fB-font\fR option in items
or the \fB-headerfont\fR option in headers.
.TP
\fB\fB-format\fR\fR \fIformatString\fR
This option specifies the format string used to display the value of the \fB-data\fR option.
If \fB-datatype\fR is \fBtime\fR, \fIformatString\fR should be
a valid format string for the Tcl \fBclock\fR command.
For all other \fB-datatype\fR values \fIformatString\fR should be
a valid format string for the Tcl \fBformat\fR command.
If this value is unspecified the following defaults are used:
for -datatype double "%g", for -datatype integer "%d", for -datatype long "%ld",
for -datatype string "%s", and for -datatype time the default format string of the Tcl \fBclock\fR
command.
.TP
\fB\fB-justify\fR\fR \fIhow\fR
Specifies how to justify the text when multiple lines are displayed.
\fIHow\fR must be one of the values \fBleft\fR, \fBright\fR, or \fBcenter\fR.
If this option is specified as an empty string (the default), \fBleft\fR is used.
.TP
\fB\fB-lines\fR\fR \fIlineCount\fR
Specifies the maximum number of lines to display.
If more than \fIlineCount\fR lines would be displayed, the last line will
be truncated with an ellipsis at the right.
If this option is specified as zero or an empty string (the default),
there is no limit to the number of lines displayed.
.TP
\fB\fB-lmargin1\fR\fR \fIpixels\fR
\fIPixels\fR is a screen distance that specifies how much a line of text should be
indented.  If a line of text wraps, this option only applies to the first line
on the display; the \fB-lmargin2\fR option controls the indentation for
subsequent lines.
If this option is specified as zero or an empty string (the default),
then the line is not indented.
This option was based on the Tk Text widget tag option of the same name.
.TP
\fB\fB-lmargin2\fR\fR \fIpixels\fR
\fIPixels\fR is a screen distance that specifies how much a line of text should be
indented.  If a line of text wraps, this option only applies to the second and
later display lines for a line of text.
If this option is specified as zero or an empty string (the default),
then the line is not indented.
This option was based on the Tk Text widget tag option of the same name.
.TP
\fB\fB-text\fR\fR \fIstring\fR
\fIString\fR specifies a string to be displayed by the element.
\fIString\fR may contain newline characters in which case multiple lines of text
will be displayed.
If this option is specified, the \fB-data\fR, \fB-datatype\fR,
\fB-format\fR, and \fB-textvariable\fR options are ignored.
.TP
\fB\fB-textvariable\fR\fR \fIvarName\fR
Specifies the name of a variable.  The value of the variable is a string
to be displayed by the element;  if the variable value changes then the element
will automatically update itself to display the new value.
If this option is specified, the \fB-data\fR, \fB-datatype\fR,
and \fB-format\fR options are ignored.
.TP
\fB\fB-underline\fR\fR \fIcharIndex\fR
Specifies the integer index of a character to underline.
0 corresponds to the first character.
If \fIcharIndex\fR is unspecified (the default), less than zero or greater
than the index of the last displayed character, the underline is not drawn.
.TP
\fB\fB-width\fR\fR \fIsize\fR
Specifies the maximum line length in any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR.
For text to wrap lines the value of the \fB-width\fR
option must be less than the needed width of the text, or the display area
for this element must be less than the needed width of the text.
For the display area to be less than the needed width of the text,
one of the style layout options \fB-maxwidth\fR, \fB-width\fR or
\fB-squeeze\fR must be used.
.TP
\fB\fB-wrap\fR\fR \fImode\fR
\fIMode\fR specifies how to handle lines in the text that are longer than the
maximum line length.
Acceptable values are \fBnone\fR, \fBchar\fR or \fBword\fR.
If this option is unspecified (the default), \fBword\fR is used.
See the \fB-width\fR option for a description of how the maximum line
length is determined.
.PP
.SH "WINDOW ELEMENT"
An element of type \fBwindow\fR can be used to display a Tk window in an item.
The following options are supported for window elements:
.TP
\fB\fB-clip\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR
Specifies whether the associated Tk window is a borderless frame which should
be used to clip its child window so it doesn't overlap the header, borders, or
other items or columns. When this option is true, the treectrl manages the
geometry of both the \fB-window\fR widget and its first child widget; in
this case the \fB-window\fR widget (which should be a borderless frame) is
kept sized and positioned so that it is never out-of-bounds.
.TP
\fB\fB-destroy\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR
Specifies whether the associated Tk window should be destroyed when the
element is deleted. The element is deleted when the item containing the
element is deleted, when the column containing the element is deleted,
or when the style assigned to the item's column is changed. If this option
is unspecified (the default), it is treated as false and the Tk window
will not be destroyed.
.TP
\fB\fB-draw\fR\fR \fIboolean\fR
Deprecated; use the style layout option \fB-draw\fR instead.
Specifies as a \fBper-state\fR option
whether to draw the element. If the value for a certain state is an empty
string (the default), it is treated as true and the element will be drawn.
.TP
\fB\fB-window\fR\fR \fIpathName\fR
Specifies the window to associate with this element. The window specified by
\fIpathName\fR must either be a child of the treectrl widget or a child of
some ancestor of the treectrl widget. \fIPathName\fR may not refer to a
top-level window. This option cannot be specified by
the \fBelement create\fR or \fBelement configure\fR commands, only by the
\fBitem element configure\fR command; i.e., the element must be associated
with a particular item.
.PP
.SH "ITEM DESCRIPTION"
Many of the commands for a treectrl take as an argument a
description of which items to operate on. An item description is a properly-formed
tcl list of keywords and arguments.
The first word of an item description must be one of the following:
.TP
\fIid\fR
Specifies the unique item identifier, where \fIid\fR should be
the return value of a prior call of the \fBitem create\fR widget command,
or \fB0\fR to specify the ever-present root item. See also the
\fB-itemprefix\fR option.
.TP
\fIQUALIFIERS\fR
Specifies a list of qualifiers. This gives the same result as \fBall\fR followed
by \fIQUALIFIERS\fR; i.e., every item is tested for a match.
.TP
\fItagExpr\fR \fIQUALIFIERS\fR
\fITagExpr\fR is a tag expression (see \fBITEM AND COLUMN TAGS\fR) against which
every item's tags are tested for a match.
This keyword cannot be followed by any modifiers unless a single item is
matched. You may run into trouble if \fItagExpr\fR looks like an item id
or other keyword; also, \fItagExpr\fR must look like a single list element
since item descriptions are properly-formed lists. To be safe you may want to
use the \fBtag\fR qualifier followed by \fItagExpr\fR.
.TP
\fBactive\fR
Indicates the item that is currently active, i.e. normally
the item specified as argument of the last successful \fBactivate\fR
widget command, or the root item if no such call happened yet.
.TP
\fBanchor\fR
Indicates the anchor item of the selection, i.e. normally
the item specified as argument of the last successful \fBselection anchor\fR
widget command, or the root item if no such call happened yet.

Indicates the last item which matches \fIQUALIFIERS\fR.
.TP
\fBlist\fR \fIitemDescs\fR
\fIItemDescs\fR is a list (a single argument, i.e. "list {a b c}" not "list a b c")
of other item descriptions.
This keyword cannot be followed by any modifiers unless a single item is matched.
.TP
\fBnearest\fR \fIx y\fR
Indicates the item nearest to the point given by \fIx\fR and \fIy\fR.
.TP
\fBrnc\fR \fIrow column\fR
Indicates the item in the given \fIrow\fR and \fIcolumn\fR.
The row and column corresponds to
the on-screen arrangement of items as determined by the -orient and -wrap
options.
You can memorize \fBrnc\fR as an abbreviation of "row 'n' column".
.TP
\fBrange\fR \fIfirst last\fR \fIQUALIFIERS\fR
\fIFirst\fR and \fIlast\fR specify a range of items.
This keyword cannot be followed by any modifiers unless a single item is matched.
.TP
\fBroot\fR
Indicates the root item of the treectrl.
.PP
.PP
The initial part of the item description (matching any of the values above)

.SH "EVENTS AND SCRIPT SUBSTITUTIONS"
The \fIscript\fR argument to \fBnotify bind\fR is a Tcl script, which will be
evaluated whenever the given event is generated. \fIScript\fR will be executed
in the same interpreter that the \fBnotify bind\fR command was executed in,
and it will run at global level (only global variables will be accessible).
If \fIscript\fR contains any \fB%\fR characters, then the script will not be
evaluated directly.  Instead, a new script will be generated by replacing each
\fB%\fR, and the character following it, with information from the current
event. Unlike the regular Tk \fBbind\fR mechanism, each event generated by
a treectrl widget has its own set of %-substitutions.

.SH "DYNAMIC EVENTS"
In addition to the pre-defined static events such as <ActiveItem>
and <Selection>, new dynamic events can be created by using the
\fBnotify install\fR command.
.PP
The library scripts provide an example
of using a dynamic event called <Header-invoke>, which is generated when
the mouse button is clicked and released over a column header.
.nf

# Example application code
treectrl .t
.t notify install <Header-invoke>
.t notify bind MyTag <Header-invoke> {
	puts "column header %C clicked in header-row %H in treectrl %T"
}
# Library code in treectrl.tcl
proc ::TreeCtrl::Release1 {w x y} {
	...
	$w notify generate <Header-invoke> [list H $Priv(header) C $Priv(column)] \\
		[list ::TreeCtrl::PercentsCmd $w]
	...
}

.fi
In the example above, a new treectrl widget is created and the <Header-invoke>
event is installed. A script is bound to the event with \fBnotify bind\fR
which will print out the column ID, header ID and widget name to the console.
In a real application, any script bound to <Header-invoke> would be used to
sort the list based on the column header that was clicked.
.PP
Note there is no \fIpercentsCommand\fR argument to \fBnotify install\fR;
instead, the call to \fBnotify generate\fR specifies the %-substitution
command.
The \fIcharMap\fR argument to \fBnotify generate\fR
provides a list of %-substitution characters and values which is used by
::TreeCtrl::PercentsCmd. In the example, any %C in any script bound to the
<Header-invoke> event would be replaced by the value of $Priv(column), and
%H would be replaced by $Priv(header).  The library procedure
::TreeCtrl::PercentsCmd also supports the same common %-substitution
characters as the built-in static events, such as %T, %P, %? etc.
.PP
The following dynamic events may be generated by the library scripts:
.TP
\fB<ColumnDrag-begin>\fR
This event is generated just after the user begins dragging a column header.
At the time this event is generated, the \fBheader dragconfigure\fR option
\fB-imagecolumn\fR is set to the unique ID of the column being dragged, the
\fB-imageoffset\fR option is set to the horizontal distance the mouse
pointer has moved, and the \fB-imagespan\fR option is set to the span of
the column header that was initially clicked.
.TP
\fB<ColumnDrag-indicator>\fR
This event is generated each time a new place to drop the dragged
column header is found. At the time this event is generated, the
\fBheader dragconfigure\fR option \fB-indicatorcolumn\fR is set to the
unique ID of the column before or after which the dragged column will be
dropped, and the \fB-indicatorspan\fR option is set to the span of the
column header for this newly-chosen indicator column.
.TP
\fB<ColumnDrag-receive>\fR
This event is generated when the user has successfully dragged and dropped a
column header to a new position.  The library scripts do not actually move the
dragged column. You must bind a script to this event to move the column.
See \fBEXAMPLES\fR.
.TP
\fB<ColumnDrag-end>\fR
This event is generated after the user finally releases the left mouse button
while dragging a column header.  This event is generated after all the other
<ColumnDrag> events even when the column wasn't dragged to a new location
(i.e., even when no \fB<ColumnDrag-receive>\fR event was generated).
.RS
.TP
\fB%H\fR
The \fBheader-row\fR that contains the column header.
.TP
\fB%C\fR
The column whose header is dragged within the header-row.

\fB<ColumnDrag-receive>\fR only.
.RE
.TP
\fB<Drag-begin>\fR
.TP
\fB<Drag-receive>\fR
.TP
\fB<Drag-end>\fR

.SH "DEFAULT BINDINGS"
Tk automatically creates class bindings for treectrl widgets that give them
the following default behavior.
.IP [1]
Clicking mouse button 1 over an item positions the active cursor
on the item, sets the input focus to this widget,
and resets the selection of the widget to this item, if it is not
already in the selection.
.IP [2]
Clicking mouse button 1 with the Control key down will reposition the
active cursor and add the item to the selection
without ever removing any items from the selection.
.IP [3]
If the mouse is dragged out of the widget
while button 1 is pressed, the treectrl will automatically scroll to
make more items visible (if there are more items off-screen on the side
where the mouse left the window).
.IP [4]
The Left and Right keys move the active cursor one item to the left or right;
for an hierarchical tree with vertical orientation nothing will happen,
since it has no two items in the same row.
The selection is set to include only the active item.
If Left or Right is typed with the Shift key down, then the active
cursor moves and the selection is extended to include the new item.
.IP [5]
The Up and Down keys move the active cursor one item up or down.
The selection is set to include only the active item.
If Up or Down is typed with the Shift key down, then the active
cursor moves and the selection is extended to include the new item.
.IP [6]
The Next and Prior keys move the active cursor forward or backwards
by one screenful, without affecting the selection.
.IP [7]
Control-Next and Control-Prior scroll the view right or left by one page
without moving the active cursor or affecting the selection.
Control-Left and Control-Right behave the same.
.IP [8]
The Home and End keys scroll to the left or right end of the widget
without moving the active cursor or affecting the selection.
.IP [9]
The Control-Home and Control-End keys scroll to the top or bottom
of the widget, they also activate and select the first or last item.
If also the Shift key is down, then the active
cursor moves and the selection is extended to include the new item.
.IP [10]
The Space and Select keys set the selection to the active item.
.IP [11]
Control-/ selects the entire contents of the widget.
.IP [12]
Control-\\\\ clears any selection in the widget.
.IP [13]
The + and - keys expand or collapse the active item,
the Return key toggles the active item.
.IP [14]
The mousewheel scrolls the view of the widget four lines up or down
depending on the direction, the wheel was turned.
The active cursor or the selection is not affected.

.SH GRADIENTS
Color gradients are an easy way to give your lists a more modern appearance.
Since Tk provides no support for drawing gradients, the TkPath extension was
used as a guide when implementing gradients in TkTreeCtrl.  The current
implementation has some limitations, however:
.IP [1]
Only linear gradients are supported.
.IP [2]
Gradients can only be painted left-to-right or top-to-bottom, not at
arbitrary angles.
.IP [3]
Gradients look bad on low-color displays. Before using gradients, you should
check that the display's color depth is at least 15 or 16 by calling the
\fBwinfo depth\fR command.
.IP [4]
Gradients are fully opaque when XFillRectangle() is used to draw them (see below).
This means the \fBopacity\fR value of each color stop is ignored.  Keep that
in mind if your application is cross-platform.
.IP [5]
Rounded rectangles cannot be filled or outlined with a gradient when XFillRectangle()
is used to draw gradients (see below).  Instead, the rounded rectangle is painted
with the gradient's first \fB-stops\fR color.
.PP
Gradients may be used in the following places:
.IP [1]
The -gridleftcolor and -gridrightcolor options of columns.
.IP [2]
The -itembackground option of columns.
.IP [3]
The -fill and -outline options of rect elements.
.IP [4]
The -fill and -outline options of the \fBmarquee configure\fR command.
.PP
.PP
On Microsoft Windows, GDI+ is used where it is available (gdiplus.dll is
dynamically loaded at run-time).
On Mac OS X, CoreGraphics is used to draw gradients.
With the Gtk+ build of treectrl, libcairo is used to draw gradients.
When native gradient support is available, all the talk below
about \fB-steps\fR can safely be ignored.
.PP
When no native support for gradients is available, gradients
are drawn simply by filling sub-rectangles using XFillRectangle().  The number
of sub-rectangles drawn and number of colors that make up the displayed gradient
are controlled by the gradient's \fB-steps\fR and \fB-stops\fR options.
The number of sub-rectangles is equal to the length of the \fB-stops\fR
option multiplied by the value of the \fB-steps\fR option. For example:
.nf

$T gradient create myGradient -stops {{0 white} {1 gray}} -steps 8

.fi
This gradient will be drawn with 2x8=16 sub-rectangles of color.
The higher the \fB-steps\fR value, the smoother the color transitions
will be, and the slower the gradient will be to draw.
For the best appearance, make the number of sub-rectangles drawn less than or equal
to the height or width of the gradient being drawn.  So if you have a rect element
18 pixels tall, use a vertical gradient that has steps X stops=18.  Avoid using
gradients with steps X stops greater than the height or width of the rectangle
being drawn, because then colors will overlap.
.SH "GRADIENT COORDINATES"
By default, a gradient brush is exactly the same size as whatever rectangle
is being painted.  For example, if a column's \fB-itembackground\fR option
specifies a gradient name, then the background of an item is painted with all
the colors of the gradient.  So a vertical gradient from blue to green will
start blue at the top and end with green at the bottom of every item.
.PP
By specifying any of the \fB-bottom\fR, \fB-left\fR, \fB-right\fR or
\fB-top\fR gradient options the size of the gradient brush does not need
to match that of the rectangle being painted.  These options can be used to
make a gradient appear to span across the entire width or height of the treectrl
window, or across the entire \fBcanvas\fR, for example.
.PP
There is no point specifying \fB-left\fR or \fB-right\fR if the gradient
is vertical, since the gradient's colors are constant horizontally, so changing
the horizontal size of the brush won't change the appearance of the gradient.
The same reasoning applies for the \fB-top\fR and \fB-bottom\fR options
for a horizontal gradient.

.SH EXAMPLES
Get the unique identifier for the leftmost visible column:
.nf

set id [$T column index "first visible"]

.fi
Delete the leftmost column:
.nf

$T column delete "order 0"

.fi
Take the visible column that is to the left of the last column, and move that
column in front of the tail column:
.nf

$T column move "last prev visible" tail

.fi
Get the unique identifier for the first visible item:
.nf

set id [$T item index "first visible"]

.fi
Delete the parent of the item that is under the point x,y:
.nf

$T item delete "nearest $x $y parent"

.fi
Add the 10th child of the second child of the root item to the selection:
.nf

$T selection add "root firstchild nextsibling child 10"

.fi
Move a column that the user drag-and-dropped:
.nf

$T header dragconfigure -enable yes
$T notify install <ColumnDrag-receive>
$T notify bind MyTag <ColumnDrag-receive> {
	%T column move %C %b
