1mWIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS0m
       Command-Line Name:1m-background0m
       Database Name:  1mbackground0m
       Database Class: 1mBackground0m

              This option is the same as the standard 1mbackground 22moption except
              that its value may also be specified as  an  empty  string.   In
              this  case, the widget will display no background or border, and
              no colors will be consumed from its colormap for its  background
              and border.

       Command-Line Name:1m-class0m
       Database Name:  1mclass0m
       Database Class: 1mClass0m

              Specifies  a class for the window.  This class will be used when
              querying the option database for the window's other options, and
              it  will also be used later for other purposes such as bindings.
              The 1mclass 22moption may not be changed with  the  1mconfigure  22mwidget
              command.

       Command-Line Name:1m-colormap0m
       Database Name:  1mcolormap0m
       Database Class: 1mColormap0m

              Specifies  a  colormap  to use for the window.  The value may be
              either 1mnew22m, in which case a new colormap is created for the win-
              dow  and its children, or the name of another window (which must
              be on the same screen and have the same visual as 4mpathName24m),  in
              which  case the new window will use the colormap from the speci-
              fied window.  If the 1mcolormap 22moption is not specified,  the  new
              window uses the default colormap of its screen.  This option may
              not be changed with the 1mconfigure 22mwidget command.

       Command-Line Name:1m-container0m
       Database Name:  1mcontainer0m
       Database Class: 1mContainer0m

              The value must be a boolean.  If true, it means that this window
              will be used as a container in which some other application will
              be embedded (for example, a Tk toplevel can  be  embedded  using
              the  1m-use 22moption).  The window will support the appropriate win-
              dow manager protocols for things like  geometry  requests.   The
              window  should not have any children of its own in this applica-
              tion.  This option may not be changed with the 1mconfigure  22mwidget
              command.

       Command-Line Name:1m-height0m
       Database Name:  1mheight0m
       Database Class: 1mHeight0m

              Specifies  the desired height for the window in any of the forms
              acceptable to 1mTk_GetPixels22m.  If this  option  is  less  than  or
              equal  to zero then the window will not request any size at all.

       Command-Line Name:1m-menu0m
       Database Name:  1mmenu0m
       Database Class: 1mMenu0m

              Specifies a menu widget to be used as a menubar. On  the  Macin-
              tosh,  the menubar will be displayed accross the top of the main
              monitor. On Microsoft Windows and all UNIX platforms,  the  menu
              will  appear  accross  the toplevel window as part of the window
              dressing maintained by the window manager.

       Command-Line Name:1m-screen0m
       Database Name:
       Database Class:

              Specifies the screen on which to  place  the  new  window.   Any
              valid  screen  name may be used, even one associated with a dif-
              ferent display.  Defaults to the  same  screen  as  its  parent.
              This  option  is special in that it may not be specified via the
              option database, and it may not be modified with  the  1mconfigure0m
              widget command.

       Command-Line Name:1m-use0m
       Database Name:  1muse0m
       Database Class: 1mUse0m

              This  option  is used for embedding. If the value isn't an empty
              string, it must be the the window identifier of a container win-
              dow, specified as a hexadecimal string like the ones returned by
              the 1mwinfo id 22mcommand. The toplevel widget will be created  as  a
              child  of the given container instead of the root window for the
              screen.  If the container window is in a Tk application, it must
              be  a  frame  or toplevel widget for which the 1m-container 22moption
              was specified.  This option may not be changed with the  1mconfig-0m
              1mure 22mwidget command.

       Command-Line Name:1m-visual0m
       Database Name:  1mvisual0m
       Database Class: 1mVisual0m

              Specifies  visual  information  for the new window in any of the
              forms accepted by 1mTk_GetVisual22m.  If this option  is  not  speci-
              fied, the new window will use the default visual for its screen.
              The 1mvisual 22moption may not be modified with the 1mconfigure  22mwidget
              command.

       Command-Line Name:1m-width0m
       Database Name:  1mwidth0m
       Database Class: 1mWidth0m

              Specifies  the  desired width for the window in any of the forms
              acceptable to 1mTk_GetPixels22m.  If this  option  is  less  than  or
              equal  to zero then the window will not request any size at all.


1mDESCRIPTION0m
       The 1mtoplevel 22mcommand creates a new toplevel widget (given by the  4mpath-0m
       4mName24m  argument).  Additional options, described above, may be specified
       on the command line or in the option database to configure  aspects  of
       the  toplevel  such  as  its background color and relief.  The 1mtoplevel0m
       command returns the path name of the new window.

       A toplevel is similar to a frame except that it is created  as  a  top-
       level  window:  its X parent is the root window of a screen rather than
       the logical parent from its  path  name.   The  primary  purpose  of  a
       toplevel  is to serve as a container for dialog boxes and other collec-
       tions of widgets.  The only visible features  of  a  toplevel  are  its
       background color and an optional 3-D border to make the toplevel appear
       raised or sunken.


1mWIDGET COMMAND0m
       The 1mtoplevel 22mcommand creates a new Tcl command whose name is  the  same
       as the path name of the toplevel's window.  This command may be used to
       invoke various operations on the widget.  It has the following  general
       form:
              4mpathName24m 4moption24m ?4marg24m 4marg24m 4m...24m?
       4mPathName24m  is the name of the command, which is the same as the toplevel
       widget's path name.  4mOption24m and the 4marg24ms determine the  exact  behavior
       of  the command.  The following commands are possible for toplevel wid-
       gets:

       4mpathName24m 1mcget 4m22moption0m
              Returns the current value of the configuration option  given  by
              4moption24m.   4mOption24m  may  have  any  of  the values accepted by the
              1mtoplevel 22mcommand.

       4mpathName24m 1mconfigure 22m?4moption24m? ?4mvalue24m 4moption24m 4mvalue24m 4m...24m?
              Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.  If  no
              4moption24m is specified, returns a list describing all of the avail-
              able options for 4mpathName24m (see 1mTk_ConfigureInfo 22mfor  information
              on  the  format  of  this list).  If 4moption24m is specified with no
              4mvalue24m, then the command returns a list describing the one  named
              option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist
              of the value returned if no 4moption24m is  specified).   If  one  or
              more 4moption-value24m pairs are specified, then the command modifies
              the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s);  in  this
              case  the  command returns an empty string.  4mOption24m may have any
              of the values accepted by the 1mtoplevel 22mcommand.


1mBINDINGS0m
       When a new toplevel is created,  it  has  no  default  event  bindings:
       toplevels are not intended to be interactive.
