'''grid propagate''' ''master ?boolean?''

If ''boolean'' has a true boolean value such as '''1''' or '''on''' then propagation is enabled for ''master'', which must be a window name (see "GEOMETRY PROPAGATION" below). If ''boolean'' has a false boolean value then propagation is disabled for ''master''. In either of these cases an empty string is returned. If ''boolean'' is omitted then the command returns '''0''' or '''1''' to indicate whether propagation is currently enabled for ''master''. Propagation is enabled by default.

'''GEOMETRY PROPAGATION'''

The grid geometry manager normally computes how large a master must be to just exactly meet the needs of its slaves, and it sets the requested width and height of the master to these dimensions. This causes geometry information to propagate up through a window hierarchy to a top-level window so that the entire sub-tree sizes itself to fit the needs of the leaf windows. However, the '''grid propagate''' command may be used to turn off propagation for one or more masters. If propagation is disabled then grid will not set the requested width and height of the master window. This may be useful if, for example, you wish for a master window to have a fixed size that you specify.
