<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
     The <STRONG>labeledwidget</STRONG> command creates  a  labeled  widget  which
     contains  a label and child site.  The child site is a frame
     which can filled with any widget  via  a  derived  class  or
     though  the  use  of  the  childsite method.  This class was
     designed to be a general purpose base class  for  supporting
     the  combination  of  label  widget  and  a  childsite.  The
     options include the ability to position the label around the
     childsite  widget,  modify  the font and margin, and control
     the display of the labels.



</PRE>
<H2>METHODS</H2><PRE>
     The <STRONG>labeledwidget</STRONG> command creates a new  Tcl  command  whose
     name  is <EM>pathName</EM>.  This command may be used to invoke vari-
     ous operations on the widget.  It has the following  general
     form:

          <EM>pathName</EM> <EM>option</EM> ?<EM>arg</EM> <EM>arg</EM> ...?

     <EM>Option</EM> and the <EM>arg</EM>s determine the exact behavior of the com-
     mand.  The following commands are possible for labeledwidget
     widgets:


</PRE>
<H2>WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS</H2><PRE>
     <EM>pathName</EM> <STRONG>childsite</STRONG>
          Return the path name of the child site.

     <EM>pathName</EM> <STRONG>cget</STRONG> <EM>option</EM>
          Returns the current value of the  configuration  option
          given  by  <EM>option</EM>.   <EM>Option</EM>  may have any of the values
          accepted by the <STRONG>labeledwidget</STRONG> command.

     <EM>pathName</EM> <STRONG>configure</STRONG> ?<EM>option</EM>? ?<EM>value</EM> <EM>option</EM> <EM>value</EM> ...?
          Query  or  modify  the  configuration  options  of  the
          widget.   If  no  <EM>option</EM>  is  specified, returns a list
          describing all of the available  options  for  <EM>pathName</EM>
          (see  <STRONG>Tk_ConfigureInfo</STRONG> for information on the format of
          this list).  If <EM>option</EM> is specified with no <EM>value</EM>, then
          the  command  returns  a  list describing the one named
          option (this list will be identical to the  correspond-
          ing  sublist  of  the  value  returned  if no <EM>option</EM> is
          specified).  If one or more  <EM>option</EM> - <EM>value</EM>  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.  <EM>Option</EM> may have any
          of the values accepted by the <STRONG>labeledwidget</STRONG> command.



</PRE>
<H2>STATIC METHODS</H2><PRE>
     <STRONG>Labeledwidget::alignlabels</STRONG> <EM>widget</EM> ?<EM>widget</EM> ...?
          The alignlabels  procedure  takes  a  list  of  widgets
          derived from the Labeledwidget class and uses the label
          margin to make each widget have the  same  total  space
          for  the  combination  of  label  and  margin.  The net
          effect is to left align the  labels.   Generally,  this
          method is only useful with a label position of w, which
          is the default.



</PRE>
<H2>COMPONENTS</H2><PRE>
     Name:           <STRONG>label</STRONG>
     Class:          <STRONG>label</STRONG>

          The label component provides the label for the  labeled
          widget.   See  the  "label"  widget  manual  entry  for
          details on the label component item.

     Name:           <STRONG>lwchildsite</STRONG>
     Class:          <STRONG>frame</STRONG>

          The lwchildsite component is the user  child  site  for
          the  labeled  widget.   See  the  "frame" widget manual
          entry for details on the lwchildsite component item.



</PRE>
<H2>EXAMPLE</H2><PRE>
          The labeledwidget was primarily  meant  to  be  a  base
          class.   The  ScrolledListBox  and  EntryField are good
          examples of derived classes of the labeledwidget class.
          In   order  to  provide  equal  support  for  composite
          classes, the 'childsite' methods also exists.  The fol-
          lowing is an example of 'childsite' method usage.


           labeledwidget .lw -labeltext "Canvas Widget" -labelpos s
           pack .lw -fill both -expand yes -padx 10 -pady 10

           set cw [canvas [.lw childsite].c -relief raised -width 200 -height 200]
           pack $cw -padx 10 -pady 10
