       [1]    When the user pressed the left mouse button over a notebook tab, the notebook page associated with
              that tab will be raised to the top of the stack of pages.

       [2]    The  pages can also be selected using the keyboard. The user can type the <Tab> key to cycle among
              the set of pages. When the focus appears on the desired  page,  the  user  can  type  <Return>  or
              <space>  to  select  that page. Or, if the user wants to cancel the selection, he/she can type the
              <Escape> key.

       The tixNoteBook command creates a new window (given by  the  pathName  argument)  and  makes  it  into  a
       NoteBook  widget.   Additional  options,  described above, may be specified on the command line or in the
       option database to configure aspects of the NoteBook widget such as its cursor and relief.

       The NoteBook widget can be used to display many windows in a limited space using a "notebook"  metaphore.
       The  notebook  is  divided  into  a  stack of pages (windows). At one time only one of these pages can be
       shown. The user can navigate through these pages by choosing the visual "tabs" at the top of the NoteBook
       widget.

       tixNoteBook - Create and manipulate tixNoteBook widgets

       The NoteBook widget supports all the standard options of a frame widget.  See the options(n) manual entry
       for details on the standard options.

       Name:          nbframe
       Class:         tixNoteBookFrame

              The "note book frame" widget that displays ths tabs of the notebook.  Most of the display  options
              of  the page tabs are controlled by this subwidget. For example, if you need to choose a different
              font to display the tab names of the pages, the color of the inactive tabs or the color behind the
              tabs, you  can  configure  the  options  of  the  nbframe  subwidget.   See  the  manual  page  of
              tixNoteBookFrame(n) for more details.

       In  addition,  all  the  page  subwidgets  created  as a result of the add command can be accessed by the
       subwidget command. They are identified by the pageName parameter to the add command.

tixNoteBookpathName ?options?

       The tixNoteBook command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the same as the path name of the NoteBook
       widget's window.  This command may be used to invoke  various  operations  on  the  widget.  It  has  the
       following general form:
              pathNameoption ?argarg...?
       PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as the NoteBook widget's path name. Option and the
       args  determine  the  exact  behavior  of  the  command. The following commands are possible for NoteBook
       widgets:

       pathNameaddpageName ?optionvalue...?
              Adds a new notebook page subwidget  into  the  NoteBook  widget.   Additional  parameters  may  be
              supplied to configure this page subwidget. Possible options are:

              -anchor
                     Specifies  how  the  information in a tab (e.g. text or a bitmap) is to be displayed in the
                     widget. Must be one of the values n, ne, e, se, s, sw, w, nw, or center.  For  example,  nw
                     means  display  the  information such that its top-left corner is at the top-left corner of
                     the widget.

              -bitmap
                     Specifies a bitmap to display on the tab of this page. The bitmap is displayed only if none
                     of the -label or -image options are specified.

              -createcmd
                     Specifies a TCL command to be called the first time a page is shown  on  the  screen.  This
                     option  can  be  used  to  delay  the  creation  of the contents of a page until necessary.
                     Therefore, it can be used to speed up interface creation process especially when there  are
                     a large number of pages in a NoteBook widget.

              -image Specifies  an  image to display on the tab of this page. The image is displayed only if the
                     -label options is not specified.

              -justify
                     When there are multiple lines of text displayed in a tab, this option  determines  how  the
                     lines  line up with each other. Must be one of left, center, or right.  Left means that the
                     lines' left edges all line up, center means that the lines' centers are aligned, and  right
                     means that the lines' right edges line up.

              -label Specifies a text label string to display on the tab of this page subwidget.

              -raisecmd
                     Specifies a TCL command to be called whenever this page is raised by the user.

              -state Specifies whether this page can be raised by the user. Must be either normal or disabled.

              -underline
                     Specifies the integer index of a character to underline in the tab.  This option is used by
                     the  default bindings to implement keyboard traversal for menu buttons and menu entries.  0
                     corresponds to the first character of the text displayed in  the  widget,  1  to  the  next
                     character, and so on.

              -wraplength
                     This  option specifies the maximum line length of the label string on this tab. If the line
                     length of the label string exceeds this length, it is wrapped onto the next line,  so  that
                     no  line  is  longer  than  the  specified length. The value may be specified in any of the
                     standard forms for screen distances. If this value is less than  or  equal  to  0  then  no
                     wrapping is done: lines will break only at newline characters in the text.

       pathNamecgetoption
              Returns  the  current value of the configuration option given by option.Option may have any of the
              values accepted by the tixNoteBook command.

       pathNameconfigure ?option? ?valueoptionvalue...?
              Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.  If no option  is  specified,  returns  a
              list describing all of the available options for pathName (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 widget option(s) to have the  given  value(s);  in  this  case  the
              command  returns  an  empty string.  Option may have any of the values accepted by the tixNoteBook
              command.

       pathNamedeletepageName?
              Deletes the page identified by pageName.

       pathNamepagecgetpageNameoption
              Returns the current value of the configuration option  given  by  option  in  the  page  given  by
              pageName. Option may have any of the values accepted by the add widget command.

       pathNamepageconfigurepageName ?option? ?value...?
              When no option is given, prints out the values of all options of this page. If option is specified
              with  no  value,  then  the  command  returns  the  current  value  of that option. If one or more
              option-value pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given page's option(s) to have the
              given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string. Option may  be  any  of  options
              accepted by the add widget command.

       pathNamepages
              Returns a list of the names of all the pages.

       pathNameraisepageName
              Raise the page identified by pageName.

       pathNameraised
              Returns the name of the currently raised page.

       pathNamesubwidgetname?args?
              When  no  options  are  given, this command returns the pathname of the subwidget of the specified
              name.

              When options are given, the widget command of the specified subwidget will be  called  with  these
              options.

       [-dynamicgeometrydynamicGeometry]  If set to false, the size of the Notebook will match the size of the
       largest page. If set to true, the size  of  the  Notebook  will  match  the  size  of  the  current  page
       (therefore,  the  size  may  change when the user selects different pages). The default value is false. A
       setting of true is discouraged.  [-ipadxipadX] The amount of internal  horizontal  paddings  around  the
       sides  of  the page subwidgets.  [-ipadyipadY] The amount of internal vertical paddings around the sides
       of the page subwidgets.
