Synopsis

                        t.xview([...]) 
t.yview([...])

xview and yview handle scrolling in horizontal and vertical directions respectively, and accept several different patterns of arguments. t .xview( ), without arguments, returns a tuple of two floats between 0.0 and 1.0 indicating the fraction of t’s contents corresponding to the first (leftmost) and last (rightmost) currently visible columns. t .xview(MOVETO,frac ) scrolls t left or right so that the first (leftmost) visible column becomes the one corresponding to fraction frac of t’s contents, between 0.0 and 1.0. yview supports the same patterns of arguments, but uses lines rather than columns, and scrolls up and down rather than left and right. yview supports one more pattern of arguments: t .yview( i ), for any index i, scrolls t up or down so that the first (topmost) visible line becomes the one of index i.

QuotationMarkI wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
