- This option is the same as the standard <STRONG>background</STRONG> option

- Specifies a colormap to use for the window.
- The value may be either <STRONG>new</STRONG>, in which case a new colormap is
- created for the window and its children, or the name of another
- window (which must be on the same screen and have the same visual
- as $widget), in which case the new window will use the colormap
- from the specified window.
- If the <STRONG>colormap</STRONG> option is not specified, the new window
- uses the default colormap of its screen.

- The value must be a boolean. If true, it means that this window will
- be used as a container in which some other application will be embedded
- (for example, a Tk toplevel can be embedded using the <STRONG>-use</STRONG> option).
- The window will support the appropriate window manager protocols for
- things like geometry requests. The window should not have any
- children of its own in this application.

- This option is used for embedding. If the value isn't an empty string,
- it must be the the window identifier of a container window, specified as
- a hexadecimal string like the ones returned by the <STRONG>winfo id</STRONG>
- command. The toplevel widget will be created as a child of the given
- container instead of the root window for the screen. If the container

- <H1><A NAME="description">DESCRIPTION</A></H1>
- <P>The <STRONG>Toplevel</STRONG> method creates a new toplevel widget (given
- by the $widget argument). Additional
- options, described above, may be specified on the command line
- or in the option database
- to configure aspects of the toplevel such as its background color
- and relief. The <STRONG>toplevel</STRONG> command returns the
- path name of the new window.</P>
- <P>A toplevel is similar to a frame except that it is created as a
- top-level window: its X parent is the root window of a screen
- rather than the logical parent from its path name. The primary
- purpose of a toplevel is to serve as a container for dialog boxes
- and other collections of widgets. The only visible features
- of a toplevel are its background color and an optional 3-D border
- to make the toplevel appear raised or sunken.</P>
- <P>
- <HR>
- <H1><A NAME="widget methods">WIDGET METHODS</A></H1>
- <P>The <STRONG>Toplevel</STRONG> method creates a widget object.
- This object supports the <STRONG>configure</STRONG> and <STRONG>cget</STRONG> methods
- described in <A HREF="../../../site/lib/Tk/options.html">the Tk::options manpage</A> which can be used to enquire and
- modify the options described above.
- The widget also inherits all the methods provided by the generic
- <A HREF="../../../site/lib/Tk/Widget.html">Tk::Widget</A> class, and the <A HREF="../../../site/lib/Tk/Wm.html">Tk::Wm</A> class.</P>
