25.1 Attributes

25.2 Specific Attributes

Standard Attributes

Please note that the mouse pointer set with the .cursor is independent of the window system and that it cannot always be set where you want. We therefore recommend to set the mouse pointer for each notepage individually.

Geometry Attributes

.height defines the height of the entire notebook object including all its elements. If the height is set to low, a minimal value depending on the window system will be used instead. The height must not be 0, since the required height cannot be calculated.

.menu: The availability of a popup menu exclusively for the notebook depends on the window system. This is why - if a pop-up menu is required for the notebook - only two variants should be chosen:

1. a pop-up menu is set for each notepage, but none for the notebook.
2. a pop-up menu is set for the notebook, but none for the notepages.

If .posraster = true, the notebook will be shifted by a half grid unit (border object!).

If .sizeraster = true, a grid unit will be deducted from the notebook height and width (border object!).

Layout Attributes

The attribute .bgc defines the background color of the notebook.

The attribute .bordercolor (default: 0) defines the border color of the notebook.

Object-specific Attributes

.activeobject defines the active, relevant notepage on top.

.alignment defines the alignment of a status text which every notepage can have (default = 1).

.backpage defines the corner in which the visible page borders meet. "backpage" describes the realization of invisible notepages. The borders of the invisible notepage are displayed in a corner.

.binding defines the way a notebook is to be bound.

.direction specifies the direction which the notebook is oriented to (default = 1, vertically).

.majortabheight defines the height of all majortabs. "majortab" stands for the labeling of a notepage in the main index.

.majortabwidth defines the width of all majortabs.

.minortabheight defines the height of all minortabs. "minortab" stands for the labeling of a notepage in the side index.

.minortabwidth defines the width of all minortabs (side index).

.tabalignment defines how the text is justified in the tabs of the notebook.

.tapshape defines the shape of major- and minortabs.

.width defines the width of the entire notebook object including all its elements. If the width is specified too small, a minimal value independent of the window system is chosen instead. The width must not be 0 because in that case the necessary width cannot be calculated.

25.2.1 backpage

In the following table the effects of the attributes .backpage and .direction on the positioning of major tabs and minor tabs as well as on the binding are shown:

25.3 Keyboard Control

Within the notebook, the keyboard control only affects the child objects of the top notepage, and not - as is usual - all child objects.

A notepage change has to be made by system-dependent keyboard methods.

Whether the notebook is in the focus order also depends on the system.
