Description

This Tk widget will manage the hiding and exposure of an embedded frame. The idea is that you create a rollup, and then place GUI items (eg. frames, buttons, listboxes) inside the frame that the rollup provides. The widget builds itself with a titlebar, which the user can press to switch the view between hidden and exposed. Functions exist to control the visibility of the rollup from the command line.

The rollup widget can be treated like many of the built in Tk widgets, except that a frame is not returned: the programmer must explicitly extract the embedded frame with the "frame" function. Many of the construction arguments are identical to those of the built in Tk widgets.
