NAME


autoscroll - Provides for a scrollbar to automatically mapped and
    unmapped as needed






SYNOPSIS


package require Tcl 


package require autoscroll ?1.1?


::autoscroll::autoscroll scrollbar


::autoscroll::unautoscroll scrollbar


::autoscroll::wrap


::autoscroll::unwrap










DESCRIPTION


This package allows scrollbars to be mapped and unmapped as needed
    depending on the size and content of the scrollbars scrolled widget. The
    scrollbar must be managed by either pack or grid, other geometry managers
    are not supported.


When managed by pack, any geometry changes made in the scrollbars
    parent between the time a scrollbar is unmapped, and when it is mapped will
    be lost. It is an error to destroy any of the scrollbars siblings while the
    scrollbar is unmapped. When managed by grid, if anything becomes gridded in
    the same row and column the scrollbar occupied it will be replaced by the
    scrollbar when remapped.


This package may be used on any scrollbar-like widget as long as
    it supports the set subcommand in the same style as scrollbar. If the
    set subcommand is not used then this package will have no effect.
