DESCRIPTION

NoteBook widget manage a set of pages and displays one of them.

WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

-arcradius: Specifies the amount of rounding effect at the corners of a tab. This value can be adjusted from 0 to 8 pixels with the default being 2 pixels. Usually, small values are preferable.

-height: Specifies the desired height for the pages. If this option is equal to zero (the default) then the window will not request any size at all. In this case, user may want to call NoteBook::compute_size to make NoteBook larger enough to contains the largest page.

-homogeneous: Specifies wether or not the label of the pages must have the same width.

-side: Specifies the side where to place the label of the pages. Must be one of top or bottom.

-tabbevelsize: Specifies the amount of bevel the tabs should have. This value can be adjusted from 0 to 8 pixels with the default being 0 pixels. A zero pixel bevel is essentially rectangular while non-zero bevel size will look trapezoidal.

-width: Specifies the desired width for the pages. If this option is equal to zero (the default) then the window will not request any size at all. In this case, user may want to call NoteBook::compute_size to make NoteBook larger enough to contains the largest page.
