| :mod:`tkinter.scrolledtext` --- Scrolled Text Widget |

| :synopsis: Text widget with a vertical scroll bar. |

| |
| 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 constructor is the same |
| as that of the :class:`tkinter.Text` class. |
| |
| 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: |
| |
| |
| .. attribute:: ScrolledText.frame |
| |
| The frame which surrounds the text and scroll bar widgets. |
| |
| |
| .. attribute:: ScrolledText.vbar |
| |
| The scroll bar widget. |
