Tk::Table(3) perl/Tk Documentation Tk::Table(3)NAMETk::Table - Scrollable 2 dimensional table of Tk widgets
SYNOPSIS
use Tk::Table;
$table = $parent->Table(-rows => number,
-columns => number,
-scrollbars => anchor,
-fixedrows => number,
-fixedcolumns => number,
-takefocus => boolean);
$widget = $table->Button(...);
$old = $table->put($row,$col,$widget);
$old = $table->put($row,$col,"Text"); # simple Label
$widget = $table->get($row,$col);
$cols = $table->totalColumns;
$rows = $table->totalRows;
$table->see($widget);
$table->see($row,$col);
($row,$col) = $table->Posn($widget);
DESCRIPTIONTk::Table is an all-perl widget/geometry manager which
allows a two dimensional table of arbitary perl/Tk widgets
to be displayed.
Entries in the Table are simply ordinary perl/Tk widgets.
They should be created with the Table as their parent.
Widgets are positioned in the table using:
$table->put($row,$col,$widget)
All the widgets in each column are set to the same width -
the requested width of the widest widget in the column.
Likewise, all the widgets in each row are set to the same
height - the requested height of the tallest widget in the
column.
A number of rows and/or columns can be marked as 'fixed' -
and so can serve as 'headings' for the remainder the rows
which are scrollable.
The requested size of the table as a whole is such that
the number of rows specified by -rows (default 10), and
number of columns specified by -columns (default 10) can
be displayed.

If the Table is told it can take the keyboard focus then
cursor and scroll keys scroll the displayed widgets.
The Table will create and manage its own scrollbars if
requested via -scrollbars.
The Tk::Table widget is derived from a Tk::Frame, so
inherits all its configure options.
BUGS / Snags / Possible enhancements
o Very large Tables consume a lot of X windows
o No equivalent of pack's -anchor/-pad etc. options
