## Synopsis

ttk::sizegrip pathName ?options?
_________________________________________________________________

## Description

A sizegrip widget (also known as a grow box) allows the user to resize the containing toplevel window by pressing and dragging the grip.

## Standard Options

-class
  -cursor -state-style -takefocus

See the options manual entry for details on the standard options.

## Widget Command

Sizegrip widgets support the standard cget, configure, instate, and state methods. No other widget methods are used.

## Platform-specific Notes

On Mac OSX, toplevel windows automatically include a built-in size grip by default. Adding an ttk::sizegrip there is harmless, since the built-in grip will just mask the widget.

## Examples

# Using pack:
pack [ttk::frame $top.statusbar] -side bottom -fill x pack [ttk::sizegrip $top.statusbar.grip] -side right -anchor se

# Using grid:

grid [ttk::sizegrip $top.statusbar.grip]
  -row $lastRow -column $lastColumn -sticky se # ... optional: add vertical scrollbar in $lastColumn, # ... optional: add horizontal scrollbar in $lastRow

## Bugs

If the containing toplevelâ€™s position was specified relative to the right or bottom of the screen (e.g., [wm geometry ... w x h-x-y] instead of [wm geometry ... w x h+x+y]), the sizegrip widget will not resize the window.

ttk::sizegrip widgets only support southeast resizing.
