18.1. PanedWindow child configuration options

Each child of a PanedWindow has a set of configuration options that control its position and appearance. These options can be provided when a child is added with the .add() method, or set with the .paneconfig() method, or queried with the .panecget() methods described above.

after Normally, when you .add() a new child to a PanedWindow, the new child is added after any existing child widgets. You may instead use the after=w option to insert the new widget at a position just after an existing child widget w.
before When used as option before=w in a call to the .add() method, places the new widget at a position just before an existing child widget w.
height This option specifies the desired height of the child widget; see Section 5.1, “Dimensions”.
minsize Use this option to specify a minimum size for the child widget in the direction of the PanedWindow's orientation. For orient=HORIZONTAL, this is the minimum width; for orient=VERTICAL, it is the minimum height. For permissible values, see Section 5.1, “Dimensions”.
padx The amount of extra space to be added to the left and right of the child widget; see Section 5.1, “Dimensions”.
pady The amount of extra space to be added above and below the child widget; see Section 5.1, “Dimensions”.
sticky This option functions like the sticky argument to the .grid() method; see Section 4.1, “The .grid() method”. It specifies how to position a child widget if the pane is larger than the widget. For example, sticky=NW would position the widget in the upper left (“northwest”) corner of the pane.
width Desired width of the child widget; see Section 5.1, “Dimensions”.
