Many of the widget commands for spinboxes take one or more indices as arguments. An index specifies a particular character in the spinbox's string, in any of the following ways:
- number
- Specifies the character as a numerical index, where 0 corresponds to the first character in the string.
- anchor
- Indicates the anchor point for the selection, which is set with the select from and select adjust widget commands.
- end
- Indicates the character just after the last one in the spinbox's string. This is equivalent to specifying a numerical index equal to the length of the spinbox's string.
- insert
- Indicates the character adjacent to and immediately following the insertion cursor.
- sel.first
- Indicates the first character in the selection. It is an error to use this form if the selection isn't in the spinbox window.
- sel.last
- Indicates the character just after the last one in the selection. It is an error to use this form if the selection isn't in the spinbox window.
- @number
- In this form, number is treated as an x-coordinate in the spinbox's window; the character spanning that x-coordinate is used. For example, ``@0'' indicates the left-most character in the window.
Abbreviations may be used for any of the forms above, e.g. ``e'' or ``sel.f''. In general, out-of-range indices are automatically rounded to the nearest legal value.
