- =head1 DESCRIPTION
-
- Tk::Table is an all-perl widget/geometry manager which allows a two dimensional
- table of arbitary perl/Tk widgets to be displayed.
-
- Entries in the Table are simply ordinary perl/Tk widgets. They should
- be created with the Table as their parent. Widgets are positioned in the
- table using:
-
- $table->put($row,$col,$widget)
-
- All the widgets in each column are set to the same width - the requested
- width of the widest widget in the column.
- Likewise, all the widgets in each row are set to the same height - the requested
- height of the tallest widget in the column.
-
- A number of rows and/or columns can be marked as 'fixed' - and so can serve
- as 'headings' for the remainder the rows which are scrollable.
-
- The requested size of the table as a whole is such that the number of rows
- specified by -rows (default 10), and number of columns specified by -columns
- (default 10) can be displayed.
-
- If the Table is told it can take the keyboard focus then cursor and scroll
- keys scroll the displayed widgets.
-
- The Table will create and manage its own scrollbars if requested via
- -scrollbars.
-
- The Tk::Table widget is derived from a Tk::Frame, so inherits all its
- configure options.
