Arguments

parent	The parent window.
tip	A tooltip to display for this widget (optional).
...	Further arguments passed to the widget.
label	A single character string used to label that widget (optional).
tag	Ay object that you would like to associate with this widget (optional).
cfglist	A named list with configuration parameters and values to apply.
wrap	Do we wrap long lines in the widget?
values	A character vector with values to use to populate the widget.
value	A character vector with current value for the widget, or currently selected values, if multiple selection is allowed. Takes precedence on selection.
selection	A numeric (indices) vector with current selection.
selectmode	The selection mode for this widget. extended is the usual choice for multiselection tk2listbox().
height	The height of the widget.
scroll	Do we add scrollbars? Possible values are "x", "y", "both" or "none"; can be abridged.
autoscroll	Do we automatically hide scrollbars if not needed? Possible values are the same as for the scroll argument.
enabled	Is the widget enabled or disabled?
activebackground	Color to use for active background of menu items (if not provided, a reasonable default value is used).
activeforeground	Color to use for active foreground of menu items (if not provided, a reasonable default value is used).
text	The text to display in the widget.
justify	How text is justified?
width	The desired width. Use a negative value to use aspect instead.
aspect	Sets the aspect ratio of the widget (100 = square, 200 = twice as large, 50 = twice as tall). Only used if width is negative.
tabs	The tabs to create in the notebook widget.
orientation	Either "horizontal" or "vertical".

Value

The reference to the created widget.

Note

You need Tk 8.5 or above to use these widgets.

## Not run: 
# These cannot be run by examples() but should be OK when pasted
# into an interactive R session with the tcltk package loaded

# A tk2notebook example
