# Python - Tkinter PanedWindow

A PanedWindow is a container widget that may contain any number of panes, arranged horizontally or vertically.

Each pane contains one widget, and each pair of panes is separated by a moveable (via mouse movements) sash. Moving a sash causes the widgets on either side of the sash to be resized.

## Syntax:

Here is the simple syntax to create this widget:

    w = PanedWindow( master, option, ... )

## Parameters:

- master: This represents the parent window.

- options: Here is the list of most commonly used options for this widget. These options can be used as key-value pairs separated by commas.

Option | Description
--- | ---
bg | The color of the slider and arrowheads when the mouse is not over them.
bd | The width of the 3-d borders around the entire perimeter of the trough, and also the width of the 3-d effects on the arrowheads and slider. Default is no border around the trough, and a 2-pixel border around the arrowheads and slider.
borderwidth | Default is 2.
cursor | The cursor that appears when the mouse is over the window.
handlepad | Default is 8.
handlesize | Default is 8.
height | No default value.
orient | Default is HORIZONTAL.
relief | Default is FLAT.
sashcursor | No default value.
sashrelief | Default is RAISED.
sashwidth | Default is 2.
showhandle | No default value
width | No default value.

# Methods:

Spinbox objects have these methods:

Methods & Description
add(child, options) Adds a child window to the paned window.
get(startindex [,endindex]) This method returns a specific character or a range of text.
config(options) Modifies one or more widget options. If no options are given, the method returns a dictionary containing all current option values.

## Example:

Try following example yourself. Here's how to create a 3-pane widget:

    from Tkinter import *

    m1 = PanedWindow()
    m1.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=1)

    left = Label(m1, text="left pane")
    m1.add(left)

    m2 = PanedWindow(m1, orient=VERTICAL)
    m1.add(m2)

    top = Label(m2, text="top pane")
    m2.add(top)

    bottom = Label(m2, text="bottom pane")
    m2.add(bottom)

    mainloop()

This would produce following result:
