Label and Orientation
Creating the Button Subwidgets and Configuring
Their Appearance
After we have created the TixSelect widget, we can create the button
subwidgets inside the TixSelect widget by the
add
widget
command (lines 2-4 of program 1-11).
The first argument to the
add
command is the name of the button
subwidget. Additional arguments can be given in
option-value
pairs
to configure the appearance of the button subwidget. These
option-value
pairs can be any of those accepted by a normal TK button
widget. As shown in program 1-11, we use the
-text
option to put appropriate text strings over the three button subwidgets.
Notice that we also set the
-width
option of all the button
subwidgets to 6 characters. This way, the three buttons will have
the same width. If we didn't set the
-width
option for the
button widgets, they will have different widths, depending on their
text string, and the result would look less esthetically pleasing
than buttons with same widths.
The output of program 1-11 is shown in figure
