Name: background
Class: Background
Switch: -background
This option is the same as the standard background option except that its value may also be specified
as an undefined value. In this case, the widget will display no background or border, and no colors
will be consumed from its colormap for its background and border.
Name: colormap
Class: Colormap
Switch: -colormap
Specifies a colormap to use for the window. The value may be either new, in which case a new
colormap is created for the window and its children, or the name of another window (which must be on
the same screen and have the same visual as $widget), in which case the new window will use the
colormap from the specified window. If the colormap option is not specified, the new window uses the
default colormap of its screen. This option may not be changed with the configure method.
Name: container
Class: Container
Switch: -container
The value must be a boolean. If true, it means that this window will be used as a container in which
some other application will be embedded (for example, a Tk toplevel can be embedded using the -use
option). The window will support the appropriate window manager protocols for things like geometry
requests. The window should not have any children of its own in this application. This option may
not be changed with the configure method.
Name: height
Class: Height
Switch: -height
Specifies the desired height for the window in any of the forms acceptable to Tk_GetPixels. If this
option is less than or equal to zero then the window will not request any size at all.
Name: menu
Class: Menu
Switch: -menu
Specifies a menu widget to be used as a menubar. On the Macintosh, the menubar will be displayed
accross the top of the main monitor. On Microsoft Windows and all UNIX platforms, the menu will
appear accross the toplevel window as part of the window dressing maintained by the window manager.
Name: ""
Class: ""
Switch: -screen
Specifies the screen on which to place the new window. Any valid screen name may be used, even one
associated with a different display. Defaults to the same screen as its parent. This option is
special in that it may not be specified via the option database, and it may not be modified with the
configure method.
Switch: -title
Specifies the title of the toplevel window.
Name: use
Class: Use
Switch: -use
This option is used for embedding. If the value isn't an empty string, it must be the the window
identifier of a container window, specified as a hexadecimal string like the ones returned by the
winfoid command. The toplevel widget will be created as a child of the given container instead of
the root window for the screen. If the container window is in a Tk application, it must be a frame
or toplevel widget for which the -container option was specified. This option may not be changed
with the configure method.
Name: visual
Class: Visual
Switch: -visual
Specifies visual information for the new window in any of the forms accepted by Tk_GetVisual. If
this option is not specified, the new window will use the default visual for its screen. The visual
option may not be modified with the configure method.
Name: width
Class: Width
Switch: -width
Specifies the desired width for the window in any of the forms acceptable to Tk_GetPixels. If this
option is less than or equal to zero then the window will not request any size at all.
