If a table doesn’t exist for master, one is created. Parameter slave is the pathname of the window, which must already exist, to be arranged inside of master. Parameters option and value are described later in the "Slave Options" section.

Parameter option may be any of the options described in the appropriate options section for the item.

table configure master [item...] [option [value [option value...] ] ]
