.OP -editdonecmd editDoneCmd EditDoneCmd
If non-empty, gives a Tcl command to be executed when the user has
edited grid cell. When this command is called, it is passed with two
additional parameters: \fIx\fR \fIy\fR, where (\fIx\fR,\fIy\fR) is the
location of the cell that has just been edited.
'\"
.OP -editnotifycmd editNotifyCmd EditNotifyCmd
If non-empty, gives a Tcl command to be executed when the user tries to edit a grid cell. When this command is called, it is passed with two additional parameters: \fIx\fR \fIy\fR, where (\fIx\fR,\fIy\fR,) is the location of the cell. This command should return a boolean value: \fBtrue\fR indicates that the cells is editable and \fBfalse\fR otherwise.
'\"
.OP -formatcmd formatCmd FormatCmd
If non-empty, gives a Tcl command to be executed when the grid cells
need to be formatted on the screen. Normally, this command calls the
\fBformat\fR widget command (see below). When this command is called,
it is passed with five additional parameters: \fItype\fR \fIx1\fR
\fIy1\fR \fIx2\fR \fIy2\fR. \fItype\fR gives the logical type of the
region in the grid. It may be one of the following. \fBx-region\fR:
the horizontal margin; \fBy-region\fR: the vertical margin;
\fBs-region\fR, the area where the the horizontal and vertical margins
are joined; \fBmain\fR: all the cells that do not fall into the above
three types. \fIx1\fR \fIy1\fR \fIx2\fR \fIy2\fR gives the extent of
the region that needs formatting.
'\"
.OP -leftmargin leftMargin LeftMargin
In the number of cells, gives the width of vertical margin. A zero
indicates that no vertical should be drawn.
'\"
.OP -selectmode selectMode SelectMode
Specifies one of several styles for manipulating the selection. The
value of the option may be arbitrary, but the default bindings expect
it to be either \fBsingle\fR, \fBbrowse\fR, \fBmultiple\fR, or
\fBextended\fR; the default value is \fBsingle\fR.
'\"
.OP -selectunit selectUnit SelectUnit
Specifies the selection unit. Valid values are \fBcell\fR,
\fBcolumn\fR or \fBrow\fR.
'\"
.OP -topmargin topMargin TopMargin
In the number of cells, gives the height of horizontal margin. A zero
indicates that no horizontal should be drawn.

.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBtixGrid\fR command creates a new window (given by the
\fIpathName\fR argument) and makes it into a \fBtixGrid\fR widget.
Additional options, described above, may be specified on the command
line or in the option database to configure aspects of the
\fBtixGrid\fR widget such as its cursor and relief.
.PP
A Grid widget displays its contents in a two dimensional grid of
cells. Each cell may contain one Tix \fBdisplay item\fR, which
may be in text, graphics or other formats. See the
\fBtixDisplayStyle\fR manual page for more information about Tix
display items. Individual cells, or groups of cells, can be formatted
with a wide range of attributes, such as its color, relief and border.
'\"
.SH "WIDGET COMMAND"
.PP
The \fBtixGrid\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the
same as the path name of the \fBtixGrid\fR widget's window. This
command may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has
the following general form:
.RS
.CS
\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
.CE
.RE
\fIPathName\fR is the name of the command, which is the same as the
\fBtixGrid\fR widget's path name. \fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs
determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands
are possible for \fBtixGrid\fR widgets:
.TP
\fIpathName \fBanchor \fIoption \fR?\fIargs ...\fR?
Manipulates the \fBanchor cell\fR of the \fBtixGrid\fR widget. The
anchor cell is the end of the selection that is fixed while the user
is dragging out a selection with the mouse.
.TP
\fIpathName \fBbdtype\fR
TODO place holder
.TP
\fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
\fIoption\fR. \fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the
\fBtixGrid\fR command.
.TP
\fIpathName \fBconfigure \fR?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR?
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no
\fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of the
available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo(n)\fR
for information on the format of this list.) If \fIoption\fR is
specified with no \fIvalue\fR, 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 \fIoption\fR is
specified). If one or more \fIoption\-value\fR pairs are specified,
then the command modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given
value(s); in this case the command returns an empty
string. \fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the
\fBtixGrid\fR command.
.TP
\fIpathName \fBdelete\fR \fIdim\fR \fIfrom \fR?\fIto\fR?
\fIDim\fR may be \fBrow\fR or \fBcolumn\fR. If \fIto\fR is not given,
deletes a single row (or column) at the position \fIfrom\fR. If
\fIto\fR is given, deletes the range of rows (or columns) from
position \fIfrom\fR through \fIto\fR.
.TP
\fIpathName \fBedit apply\fR
If any cell is being edited, de-highlight the cell and applies the
changes.
.TP
\fIpathName \fBedit set\fR \fIx\fR \fIy\fR
Highlights the cell at (\fIx\fR,\fIy\fR) for editing, if the
\fB-editnotify\fR command returns true for this cell.
.TP
\fIpathName \fBentrycget\fR \fIx\fR \fIy\fR \fIoption\fR
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
\fIoption\fR of the cell at (\fIx\fR,\fIy\fR). \fIOption\fR may have
any of the values accepted by the \fBset\fR widget command.
.TP
\fIpathName \fBentryconfigure \fIx y \fR?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR?
Query or modify the configuration options of the cell at
(\fIx\fR,\fIy\fR). If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list
describing all of the available options for the cell (see
\fBTk_ConfigureInfo(n)\fR for information on the format of this list.)
If \fIoption\fR is specified with no \fIvalue\fR, 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
\fIoption\fR is specified.) If one or more \fIoption\-value\fR pairs
are specified, then the command modifies the given widget option(s) to
have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty
string. \fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the
\fBset\fR widget command.
.TP
\fIpathName \fBformat\fR
TODO place holder
.TP
\fIpathName \fBindex\fR
TODO place holder
.TP
\fIpathName \fBmove\fR \fIdim\fR \fIfrom\fR \fIto\fR \fIoffset\fR
\fIDim\fR may be \fBrow\fR or \fBcolumn\fR. Moves the the range of
rows (or columns) from position \fIfrom\fR through \fIto\fR by the
distance indicated by \fIoffset\fR. For example, \fBmove row
2 4 1\fR moves the rows 2,3,4 to rows 3,4,5.
.TP
\fIpathName \fBset \fIx y \fR?-itemtype \fItype\fR? ?\fIoption value...\fR?
Creates a new display item at the cell at (\fIx\fR,\fIy\fR). The
optional \fB-itemtype\fR parameter gives the type of the display
item. An additional list of \fIoption-value\fR pairs specify options
of the display item. If a display item already exists at this cell,
the old item will be deleted automatically.
.TP
\fIpathName \fBsize \fIdim index \fR?\fIoption value ...\fR?
Queries or sets the size of the row or column given by \fIdim\fR and
\fIindex\fR. \fIDim\fR may be \fBrow\fR or \fBcolumn\fR. \fIIndex\fR
may be any non-negative integer that gives the position of a given row
(or column). \fIIndex\fR can also be the string \fBdefault\fR; in this
case, this command queries or sets the default size of all rows (or
columns).
.PP
When no \fIoption\fR-\fIvalue\fR pair is given, this command returns a
list containing the current size setting of the given row (or
column). When \fIoption\fR-\fIvalue\fR pairs are given, the
corresponding options of the size setting of the given row are
changed. \fIOption\fR may be one of the follwing:
.RS
.TP
\fB-pad0\fR \fIpixels\fR
Specifies the paddings to the left or a column or the top of a row.
.TP
\fB-pad1\fR \fIpixels\fR
Specifies the paddings to the right or a column or the bottom of a row.
.TP
\fB-size\fR \fIval\fR
Specifies the width of a column or the height of a row. \fIVal\fR may
be: \fBauto\fR -- the width of the column is set the the widest cell
in the column; a valid Tk screen distance unit (see
\fBTk_GetPixels(n)\fR); or a real number following by the word
\fBchars\fR (e.g. \fB3.4chars\fR) that sets the width of the column to
the given number of characters.
.RE
.TP
\fIpathName \fBunset\fR \fIx\fR \fIy\fR
Clears the cell at (\fIx\fR,\fIy\fR) by removing its display item.
.TP
\fIpathName \fBxview\fR
TODO place holder
.TP
\fIpathName \fByview\fR
