toplevel - Create and manipulate 'toplevel' main and popup window widgets

       When  a  new  toplevel  is  created,  it  has no default event bindings: toplevels are not intended to be
       interactive.

       Be aware that bindings on toplevels may receive events from subwidgets.

       The toplevel command creates a new toplevel widget (given by the pathName argument).  Additional options,
       described  above,  may be specified on the command line or in the option database to configure aspects of
       the toplevel such as its background color and relief.  The toplevel command returns the path name of  the
       new window.

       A  toplevel  is  similar to a frame except that it is created as a top-level window:  its X parent is the
       root window of a screen rather than the logical parent from its Tk path name.  The primary purpose  of  a
       toplevel  is to serve as a container for dialog boxes and other collections of widgets.  The only visible
       features of a toplevel are its background and an optional 3-D border to make the toplevel  appear  raised
       or sunken.

toplevelpathName ?options?

       The  toplevel command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the same as the path name of the toplevel's
       window.  This command may be used to invoke various operations on  the  widget.   It  has  the  following
       general form:

              pathNameoption ?arg...?

       PathName  is  the  name of the command, which is the same as the toplevel widget's path name.  Option and
       the args determine the exact behavior of the command.  The following commands are possible  for  toplevel
       widgets:

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

       Command-Line Name:-background
       Database Name:  background
       Database Class: Background

              This  option  is  the  same  as  the standard -background option except that its value may also be
              specified as an empty string.  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.  An empty background 2
              will disable drawing the background image.                                                         2

       Command-Line Name:-backgroundimage                                                                        2
       Database Name:  backgroundImage                                                                           2
       Database Class: BackgroundImage                                                                           2

              This specifies an image to display on the toplevel's background within the border of the  toplevel 2
              (i.e.,  the  image  will  be  clipped  by  the toplevel's highlight ring and border, if either are 2
              present) on top of the background; subwidgets of the toplevel will be drawn on top. The image must 2
              have been created with the imagecreate command. If specified as the empty string, no  image  will 2
              be displayed.

       Command-Line Name:-class
       Database Name:  class
       Database Class: Class

              Specifies  a  class for the window.  This class will be used when querying the option database for
              the window's other options, and it will also be used later for other purposes  such  as  bindings.
              Some  window  managers  display the class name for windows in their dock while some others display
              the window title.  The -class option may not be changed with the configure widget command.

       Command-Line Name:-colormap
       Database Name:  colormap
       Database Class: 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 pathName), 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 widget
              command.

       Command-Line Name:-container
       Database Name:  container
       Database Class: 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 widget command.

       Command-Line Name:-height
       Database Name:  height
       Database Class: Height

              Specifies the desired height for the window in any of the forms acceptable  to  Tk_GetPixels.   If
              this option is negative or zero then the window will not request any size at all.

       Command-Line Name:-menu
       Database Name:  menu
       Database Class: Menu

              Specifies  a  menu widget to be used as a menubar. On the Macintosh, the menubar will be displayed
              across the top of the main monitor. On Microsoft Windows and all UNIX  platforms,  the  menu  will
              appear across the toplevel window as part of the window dressing maintained by the window manager.

       Command-Line Name:-screen
       Database Name:
       Database Class:

              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 widget command.

       Command-Line Name:-tile
       Database Name:  tile
       Database Class: Tile

              This specifies how to draw the background image (see -backgroundimage) on the toplevel.   If  true 2
              (according to Tcl_GetBoolean), the image will be tiled to fill the whole toplevel, with the origin 2
              of  the first copy of the image being the top left of the interior of the toplevel.  If false (the 2
              default), the image will be centered within the toplevel.

       Command-Line Name:-use
       Database Name:  use
       Database Class: Use

              This option is used for embedding. If the value is not an empty string,  it  must  be  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 widget command.

       Command-Line Name:-visual
       Database Name:  visual
       Database Class: 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 widget command.

       Command-Line Name:-width
       Database Name:  width
       Database Class: Width

              Specifies the desired width for the window in any of the forms  acceptable  to  Tk_GetPixels.   If
              this option is negative or zero then the window will not request any size at all.
