NAME

Tk::YANoteBook - Yet another NoteBook widget

SYNOPSIS

 require Tk::YANoteBook;
 my $nb = $window->YANoteBook(@options)->pack;

DESCRIPTION

A more flexible notebook widget. It does well in a multi document environment.

You can select any side where the tabs will be placed.

You can drag tabs with your mouse.

It has an overload if tabs won't fit any more.

You can specify a close button for a tab.

CONFIG VARIABLES

Switch: -autoupdate

Default value 1. The widget automatically updates the tab bar after a change is made. You can switch this off, make some massive changes, then change it back on to have only one update call.

Corresponds with the autoupdate method below.

Switch: -backpagecolor

Background color for the tab frame.

Switch: -closeimage

Image for the close button on each tab. Default value is the close_icon.xpm in this distribution.
