display policy of the scrollbars. The following values are recognized:
- auto ?+x?

are shown only when needed. Additional modifiers can be used to force a
scrollbar to be shown or hidden. For example, "auto -y"
means the horizontal scrollbar should be shown when needed but the
vertical scrollbar should always be hidden; "auto +x"
means the vertical scrollbar should be shown when needed but the
horizontal scrollbar should always be shown, and so on.

The tixScrolledText command creates a new window (given by
the pathName argument) and makes it into a ScrolledText widget.
Additional options, described above, may be specified on the command line or
in the option database to configure aspects of the ScrolledText widget such
as its cursor and relief.
The tixScrolledText command creates a new Tcl command whose
name is the same as the path name of the ScrolledText widget's window. This
command may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the
following general form:
pathName option ?
arg arg ...?
PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as the
ScrolledText widget's path name. Option and the args determine
the exact behavior of the command. The following commands are possible for
ScrolledText widgets:
- pathName
cget option
- Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the
tixScrolledText command.
- pathName
configure ?option? ?value option value
...?
- 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 tixScrolledText command.
- pathName
subwidget name ?args?
- When no additional arguments are given, returns the pathname of the
subwidget of the specified name.
When no additional arguments are given, the widget command of
the specified subwidget will be called with these parameters.
