1 """A ScrolledText widget feels like a text widget but also has a
2 vertical scroll bar on its right. (Later, options may be added to
3 add a horizontal bar as well, to make the bars disappear
4 automatically when not needed, to move them to the other side of the
5 window, etc.)
7 Configuration options are passed to the Text widget.
8 A Frame widget is inserted between the master and the text, to hold
9 the Scrollbar widget.
10 Most methods calls are inherited from the Text widget; Pack, Grid and
11 Place methods are redirected to the Frame widget however.
