.SH NAME
ttk::treeview \- hierarchical multicolumn data display widget
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBttk::treeview \fIpathname \fR?\fIoptions\fR?
.BE
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \fBttk::treeview\fR widget displays a hierarchical collection of items.
Each item has a textual label, an optional image, 
and an optional list of data values.
The data values are displayed in successive columns after
the tree label.
.PP
The order in which data values are displayed may be controlled
by setting the \fB\-displaycolumns\fR widget option.  
The tree widget can also display column headings.
Columns may be accessed by number or by symbolic names 
listed in the \fB\-columns\fR widget option;
see \fBCOLUMN IDENTIFIERS\fR.
.PP
Each item is identified by a unique name.
The widget will generate item IDs if they are not supplied by the caller.
There is a distinguished root item, named \fB{}\fR.
The root item itself is not displayed;
its children appear at the top level of the hierarchy.
.PP
Each item also has a list of \fItags\fR,
which can be used to associate event bindings with individual items
and control the appearance of the item.
.\" .PP
.\" @@@HERE: describe selection, focus item
.PP
Treeview widgets support horizontal and vertical scrolling with the
standard \fB\-\fR[\fBxy\fR]\fBscrollcommand\fR options 
and [\fBxy\fR]\fBview\fR widget commands.

.SH "WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS"
.OP \-columns columns Columns
A list of column identifiers, 
specifying the number of columns and their names.
.\"X: This is a read-only option; it may only be set when the widget is created.
.OP \-displaycolumns displayColumns DisplayColumns
A list of column identifiers 
(either symbolic names or integer indices)
specifying which data columns are displayed 
and the order in which they appear, 
or the string \fB#all\fP.
If set to \fB#all\fP (the default),
all columns are shown in the order given.
.OP \-height height Height
Specifies the number of rows which should be visible.
Note:
the requested width is determined from the sum of the column widths.

see \fBTtk_GetPaddingFromObj()\fR for details.
.OP \-selectmode selectMode SelectMode

One of \fBextended\fR, \fBbrowse\fR, or \fBnone\fR.
.RS
.PP
If set to \fBextended\fR (the default), multiple items may be selected.
If \fBbrowse\fR, only a single item will be selected at a time.
If \fBnone\fR, the selection will not be changed.
.PP
Note that application code and tag bindings can set the selection 
however they wish, regardless of the value of \fB\-selectmode\fR.
.RE
.OP \-show show Show

of the specified \fIitem\fR
in the form \fIx y width height\fR.
