SYNOPSIS

11         $table = $parent->Table(-rows => number,
12                                 -columns => number,
13                                 -scrollbars => anchor,
14                                 -fixedrows => number,

16                                 -takefocus => boolean);
17
18         $widget = $table->Button(...);
19
20         $old = $table->put($row,$col,$widget);
21         $old = $table->put($row,$col,"Text");  # simple Label

DESCRIPTION

33       Tk::Table is an all-perl widget/geometry manager which allows a two
34       dimensional table of arbitary perl/Tk widgets to be displayed.
35
36       Entries in the Table are simply ordinary perl/Tk widgets. They should
37       be created with the Table as their parent. Widgets are positioned in
38       the table using:
39
40        $table->put($row,$col,$widget)
41
42       If $widget is not a reference it is treated as a string, and a Lable
43       widget is created with the string as its text.
44
45       All the widgets in each column are set to the same width - the
46       requested width of the widest widget in the column.  Likewise, all the
47       widgets in each row are set to the same height - the requested height
48       of the tallest widget in the column.
49
50       A number of rows and/or columns can be marked as 'fixed' - and so can
51       serve as 'headings' for the remainder the rows which are scrollable.
52
53       The requested size of the table as a whole is such that the number of
54       rows specified by -rows (default 10), and number of columns specified
55       by -columns (default 10) can be displayed.
56
57       If the Table is told it can take the keyboard focus then cursor and
58       scroll keys scroll the displayed widgets.
59
60       "-scrollbars". By default, scrollbars will be added "nw".  To disable
61       scrollbars, set "-scrollbars" to an empty string:
62
63         $table = $parent->Table(-scrollbars => '', ...);
64
65       The table can be emptied using
66
67        $table->clear
68
69       the widgets which were in the table are destroyed.
70
71       The Tk::Table widget is derived from a Tk::Frame, so inherits all its
72       configure options.
73
74       The default focus traversal is giving the focus only to the table
75       widget as a whole. To enable focus traversal into table cells (e.g. if
76       there are embedded entry widgets), then the option "-takefocus" has to
77       be set to 0.
78

BUGS / Snags / Possible enhancements

80       ·   Very large Tables consume a lot of X windows.
81
82       ·   No equivalent of pack's -anchor/-pad etc. options
