node. If this command contains «%n", it is replaced with
the name of the desired node. In its simpilest form it should
return the children of the given node as a list which will be
depicted in the display. Since the names of the children are used
as tags in the underlying text widget, each child must be unique in
the hierarchy. Due to the unique requirement, the nodes shall be
reffered to as uids or uid in the singular sense. The format of
returned list is
{uid [uid ...]}

hint in the user tags. A tag of «leaf» or
«branch» tells the hierarchy widget the information it
needs to know thereby avoid- ing the look ahead operation.

engaged, geometry constraints are maintained only on the text portion of the hierarchy. The size of the other components such as labels, margins, and scroll bars, are additive and indepen- dent, effecting the overall size of the hierarchy. In contrast, should the width and height options have non zero values, they are applied to the hierarchy as a whole. The hierarchy is com- pressed or expanded to maintain the geometry constraints.

widget. It allows the graphical management of a a list of nodes that can be expanded or collapsed. Individual nodes can be high- lighted. Clicking with the right mouse button on any item brings up a special item menu. Clicking on the background area brings up a different popup menu. Options exist to provide user control over the loading of the nodes and actions associated with node selection. Since the hierarchy is based on the scrolledtext wid- get, it includes options to control the method in which the scrollbars are displayed, i.e. statically or dynamically.

name is pathName. This command may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following general form:
pathName option ?arg arg ...?
pathName cget option
option. Option may have any of the values accepted
by the iwid- gets::hierarchy command.
pathName clear
and icons. The display will remain empty until the -filter or
-querycommand options are set.
pathName collapse uid
unique id by one level. Since this can take a moment for large hierarchies, the cursor will be changed to a watch during the collapse. Also, if any of the nodes beneath the node being col- lapsed are selected, their status is changed to unselected. pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
option is specified, returns a list describing all of the
avail- able 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 iwidgets::hierarchy command.
pathName current
the right mouse button when the item menu was posted. Usually
used by the code in the item menu to figure out what item is being
manipulated.
pathName draw ?when?
either -now or -eventually where the latter means the draw can
be performed after idle.
pathName expand uid
id by one level. Since this can take a moment for large hierar- chies, the cursor will be changed to a watch during the expan- sion.
pathName expanded uid
specified unique id.

the hierarchy. The exact behavior of the command depends on the
option argument that follows the mark argument. The
following forms of the command are currently supported:
pathName mark clear
