tk/place configure

(tk/place 'configure window ?option? ?value option value ...?)
Query or modify the geometry options of the slave given by window.

If no option is specified, this command returns a list describing the available options (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the format of this list).

If option 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 option is specified).

If one or more option-value pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string.

The following option-value pairs are supported:

#:anchor where
Where specifies which point of window is to be positioned at the (x,y) location selected by the #:x, #:y, #:relx, and #:rely options. The anchor point is in terms of the outer area of window including its border, if any. Thus if where is se then the lower-right corner of window's border will appear at the given (x,y) location in the master. The anchor position defaults to nw.
#:bordermode mode
Mode determines the degree to which borders within the master are used in determining the placement of the slave. The default and most common value is inside. In this case the placer considers the area of the master to be the innermost area of the master, inside any border: an option of #:x 0 corresponds to an x-coordinate just inside the border and an option of #:relwidth 1.0 means window will fill the area inside the master's border. If mode is outside then the placer considers the area of the master to include its border; this mode is typically used when placing window outside its master, as with the options #:x 0 #:y 0 #:anchor ne. Lastly, mode may be specified as ignore, in which case borders are ignored: the area of the master is considered to be its official X area, which includes any internal border but no external border. A bordermode of ignore is probably not very useful.
#:height size
Size specifies the height for window in screen units (i.e. any of the forms accepted by Tk_GetPixels). The height will be the outer dimension of window including its border, if any. If size is an empty string, or if no #:height or #:relheight option is specified, then the height requested internally by the window will be used.
#:in master
Master specifes the path name of the window relative to which window is to be placed. Master must either be window's parent or a descendant of window's parent. In addition, master and window must both be descendants of the same top-level window. These restrictions are necessary to guarantee that window is visible whenever master is visible. If this option isn't specified then the master defaults to window's parent.
#:relheight size
Size specifies the height for window. In this case the height is specified as a floating-point number relative to the height of the master: 0.5 means window will be half as high as the master, 1.0 means window will have the same height as the master, and so on. If both #:height and #:relheight are specified for a slave, their values are summed. For example, #:relheight 1.0 #:height -2 makes the slave 2 pixels shorter than the master.
#:relwidth size
Size specifies the width for window. In this case the width is specified as a floating-point number relative to the width of the master: 0.5 means window will be half as wide as the master, 1.0 means window will have the same width as the master, and so on. If both #:width and #:relwidth are specified for a slave, their values are summed. For example, #:relwidth 1.0 #:width 5 makes the slave 5 pixels wider than the master.
#:relx location
Location specifies the x-coordinate within the master window of the anchor point for window. In this case the location is specified in a relative fashion as a floating-point number: 0.0 corresponds to the left edge of the master and 1.0 corresponds to the right edge of the master. Location need not be in the range 0.0-1.0. If both #:x and #:relx are specified for a slave then their values are summed. For example, #:relx 0.5 #:x -2 positions the left edge of the slave 2 pixels to the left of the center of its master.
#:rely location
Location specifies the y-coordinate within the master window of the anchor point for window. In this case the value is specified in a relative fashion as a floating-point number: 0.0 corresponds to the top edge of the master and 1.0 corresponds to the bottom edge of the master. Location need not be in the range 0.0-1.0. If both #:y and #:rely are specified for a slave then their values are summed. For example, #:rely 0.5 #:x 3 positions the top edge of the slave 3 pixels below the center of its master.
#:width size
Size specifies the width for window in screen units (i.e. any of the forms accepted by Tk_GetPixels). The width will be the outer width of window including its border, if any. If size is an empty string, or if no #:width or #:relwidth option is specified, then the width requested internally by the window will be used.
#:x location
Location specifies the x-coordinate within the master window of the anchor point for window. The location is specified in screen units (i.e. any of the forms accepted by Tk_GetPixels) and need not lie within the bounds of the master window.
#:y location
Location specifies the y-coordinate within the master window of the anchor point for window. The location is specified in screen units (i.e. any of the forms accepted by Tk_GetPixels) and need not lie within the bounds of the master window.

If the same value is specified separately with two different options, such as #:x and #:relx, then the most recent option is used and the older one is ignored.
