2.331 .sizeable

This attribute controls whether the size of the object may be changed interactively by the user.

For the window, this attribute also determines if it should provide a mechanism (button, box) for the user to enlarge or minimize the window.

With the toolbar, .sizeable (without index) defines the default value for the values not set by .sizeable[class].

Particularity of Motif

Depending on the display or desktop manager in use, the attribute cannot be changed in the visible state; under certain conditions, it may not be possible to set it at runtime. In some cases, it may help to toggle the visibility of the window.

Since the ability of setting this attribute on Motif directly depends on the display or desktop manager used, it is recommended to set the attribute only statically or immediately after creating an instance with :create(…, true) in the invisible state.
