:mod:`tkinter.scrolledtext` --- Scrolled Text Widget
====================================================
.. module:: tkinter.scrolledtext
:platform: Tk
:synopsis: Text widget with a vertical scroll bar.
.. sectionauthor:: Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake@acm.org>
**Source code:** :source:`Lib/tkinter/scrolledtext.py`
--------------
The :mod:`tkinter.scrolledtext` module provides a class of the same name which
implements a basic text widget which has a vertical scroll bar configured to do
the "right thing." Using the :class:`ScrolledText` class is a lot easier than
setting up a text widget and scroll bar directly.
The text widget and scrollbar are packed together in a :class:`Frame`, and the
methods of the :class:`Grid` and :class:`Pack` geometry managers are acquired
from the :class:`Frame` object. This allows the :class:`ScrolledText` widget to
be used directly to achieve most normal geometry management behavior.
Should more specific control be necessary, the following attributes are
available:
.. class:: ScrolledText(master=None, **kw)
.. attribute:: frame
The frame which surrounds the text and scroll bar widgets.
.. attribute:: vbar
The scroll bar widget.
