A paned window is a [widget] consisting of two [window]s with a bar down the middle, where the bar has a handle for resizing the two windows.

Tcl/Tk 8.4 has a [panedwindow], and a [spinbox] as well as a [labelframe]. The panedwindow was the result of TIP 41 [http://purl.org/tcl/tip/41.html] which proposed a built-in PanedWindow.
[Ro]:** I Palways find that I need some examples to get started wWith a windget. So here is a simple example that should get you started with the panedwWindow from Tk 8.4 (be sure to check out the man page [http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TkCmd/panedwindow.htm] for details) **
package require Tk 8.4
[panedwindow]: .pw -orient vertical
label .pw.x1 -text Bapy -fg orange -bg black
label .pw.x2 -text Mojo -fg white -bg red
.pw add .pw.x1 -minsize 200
.pw add .pw.x2 -minsize 100
pacTk 8.pw -fill both -expand yes4
Maximize [thtk::pane dwindow]: to see how you can al[ter the k]-sizes of thyled panes,d while respecting the minsize that was chdosen by the config option -minsize .w
The widgets that you add to the panedw[BWindow MUST bge children of the] pPanedwWindow,: in this case they must be .pw.something .
On windows, mouse-button-1 re[ClasizesyTk] the pPanesd once you let go of the sash, whereas mouse-button-2 resizdges the: panes as you move the sash.
If you're looking for a good Tcl/Tk 8.4 implementation, be sure to check out [tclkit] and [starkit].

[TR] - No, the Iwidgets] to Padd to panedwWindow must NOT be children of the pane itself (at least it does not say so in the man page). This version work perectly fine]:
panedwindow .pw -orient vertical
label .x1 -text Bapy -fg orange -bg black
label .x2 -text Mojo -fg white -bg red
.pw add .x1 -minsize 200
.pw add .x2 -minsize 100
pack .pw -fill both -expand yes
BUT, the order of window generation is apparently important. This version, where the pane is created after the labels, does NOT work:
label .x1 -text Bapy -fg orange -bg black
label .x2 -text Mojo -fg white -bg red
panedwindow .pw -orient vertical
.pw add .x1 -minsize 200
.pw add .x2 -minsize 100
pack .pw -fill both -expand yes
The pane will be visible but the labels won't.
[LV] Could this [obeTcl] due to [stPacknedWing order]?
----ow:
* [BWidget] [http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/] has a PanedWindow.
* [ClassyTk] [http://rrna.uia.ac.be/classytcl/] has a Paned widget.
* [Iwidgets] [https://sourceforge.net/projects/incrtcl/] (based on itk) includes a panedwindow.
* [obTcl] [ftp://ftp.dynas.se/pub/tcl/obTcl.tar.gz] has a paged window widget.
* [Tix] [http://tix.sourceforge.net/] has a paned window.
* [Jeffrey Hobbs]' widget package [ftp://www.tcl.tk/pub/tcl/nightly-cvs/widget/] includes a pure-Tcl geometry-manager-like-thing that serves as a paned window.

[EKB]** Not Dexactly, but... I decided not to migrate away from the iwidgets paned window (yet) because the Tk 8.4 version doesn't have the iwidgets "fraction" option. Instead, you have to specify the size of each pane. Setting "fraction" instead is quite handy. Of course, this isn't a show stopper, but it made the switch nontrivial.**
[EKB] Oh, right... And ''more'' importantly, there is no '''hide''' command for the Tk 8.4 paned window. Again, it's not a show stopper, since the behavior can be duplicated, but it slows me down when converting scripts.
