DESCRIPTION

27       This package allows scrollbars to be mapped and unmapped as needed  de‐
28       pending  on the size and content of the scrollbars scrolled widget. The
29       scrollbar must be managed by either pack or grid, other  geometry  man‐
30       agers are not supported.
31
32       When  managed by pack, any geometry changes made in the scrollbars par‐
33       ent between the time a scrollbar is unmapped, and  when  it  is  mapped
34       will  be lost. It is an error to destroy any of the scrollbars siblings
35       while the scrollbar is unmapped. When managed by grid, if anything  be‐
36       comes gridded in the same row and column the scrollbar occupied it will
37       be replaced by the scrollbar when remapped.
38
39       This package may be used on any scrollbar-like widget  as  long  as  it
40       supports  the set subcommand in the same style as scrollbar. If the set
41       subcommand is not used then this package will have no effect.
42
43       ::autoscroll::autoscroll scrollbar
44              Arranges for the already  existing  scrollbar  scrollbar  to  be
45              mapped and unmapped as needed.
46
47       ::autoscroll::unautoscroll scrollbar
48              Returns the named scrollbar to its original static state.
49
50       ::autoscroll::wrap
51              Arranges for all scrollbars created after this command is run to
52              be automatically mapped and unmapped as needed.
53
54       ::autoscroll::unwrap
55              Turns off the automatic autoscrolling  of  all  new  scrollbars.
56              Does not effect existing scrollbars
