- anchor
- Legal values are points of the compass:
"n" ,
"ne" , "e" , "se" , "s" ,
"sw" , "w" , "nw" , and also
"center" .
- bitmap
- There are eight built-in, named bitmaps:
'error' , 'gray25' ,
'gray50' , 'hourglass' , 'info' , 'questhead' ,
'question' , 'warning' . To specify an X bitmap
filename, give the full path to the file, preceded with an @ ,
as in "@/usr/contrib/bitmap/gumby.bit" .
- boolean
- You can pass integers 0 or 1 or the strings
"yes" or "no" .
- callback
- This is any Python function that takes no arguments. For example:
def print_it():
print "hi there"
fred["command"] = print_it
- color
- Colors can be given as the names of X colors in the rgb.txt file,
or as strings representing RGB values in 4 bit:
"#RGB" , 8
bit: "#RRGGBB" , 12 bit" "#RRRGGGBBB" , or 16 bit
"#RRRRGGGGBBBB" ranges, where R,G,B here represent any
legal hex digit. See page 160 of Ousterhout's book for details.
- cursor
- The standard X cursor names from cursorfont.h can be used,
without the
XC_ prefix. For example to get a hand cursor
(XC_hand2), use the string "hand2" . You can also
specify a bitmap and mask file of your own. See page 179 of
Ousterhout's book.
- distance
- Screen distances can be specified in either pixels or absolute
distances. Pixels are given as numbers and absolute distances as
strings, with the trailing character denoting units:
c
for centimetres, i for inches, m for millimetres,
p for printer's points. For example, 3.5 inches is expressed
as "3.5i" .
- font
- Tk uses a list font name format, such as
{courier 10 bold} .
Font sizes with positive numbers are measured in points;
sizes with negative numbers are measured in pixels.
- geometry
- This is a string of the form "widthxheight", where
width and height are measured in pixels for most widgets (in
characters for widgets displaying text). For example:
fred["geometry"] = "200x100" .
- justify
- Legal values are the strings:
"left" ,
"center" , "right" , and "fill" .
- region
- This is a string with four space-delimited elements, each of
which is a legal distance (see above). For example:
"2 3 4
5" and "3i 2i 4.5i 2i" and "3c 2c 4c 10.43c"
are all legal regions.
- relief
- Determines what the border style of a widget will be. Legal
values are:
"raised" , "sunken" ,
"flat" , "groove" , and "ridge" .
- scrollcommand
- This is almost always the set() method of some scrollbar
widget, but can be any widget method that takes a single argument.
Refer to the file Demo/tkinter/matt/canvas-with-scrollbars.py
in the Python source distribution for an example.
- wrap:
- Must be one of:
"none" , "char" , or "word" .
