:mod:`ScrolledText` --- Scrolled Text Widget

============================================

.. module:: ScrolledText

   :platform: Tk

   :synopsis: Text widget with a vertical scroll bar.

.. sectionauthor:: Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake@acm.org>

The :mod:`ScrolledText` module provides a class of the same name which

implements a basic text widget which has a vertical scroll bar configured to do

the "right thing."  Using the :class:`ScrolledText` class is a lot easier than

setting up a text widget and scroll bar directly.  The constructor is the same

as that of the :class:`Tkinter.Text` class.

.. note::

   :mod:`ScrolledText` has been renamed to :mod:`tkinter.scrolledtext` in Python

   3.0.  The :term:`2to3` tool will automatically adapt imports when converting

   your sources to 3.0.

The text widget and scrollbar are packed together in a :class:`Frame`, and the

methods of the :class:`Grid` and :class:`Pack` geometry managers are acquired

from the :class:`Frame` object.  This allows the :class:`ScrolledText` widget to

be used directly to achieve most normal geometry management behavior.

Should more specific control be necessary, the following attributes are

available:

.. attribute:: ScrolledText.frame

   The frame which surrounds the text and scroll bar widgets.

.. attribute:: ScrolledText.vbar

   The scroll bar widget.
