14The :mod:`tkinter.scrolledtext` module provides a class of the same name which
15implements a basic text widget which has a vertical scroll bar configured to do
16the "right thing."  Using the :class:`ScrolledText` class is a lot easier than
17setting up a text widget and scroll bar directly.  The constructor is the same
18as that of the :class:`tkinter.Text` class.
19
20The text widget and scrollbar are packed together in a :class:`Frame`, and the
21methods of the :class:`Grid` and :class:`Pack` geometry managers are acquired
22from the :class:`Frame` object.  This allows the :class:`ScrolledText` widget to
23be used directly to achieve most normal geometry management behavior.

25Should more specific control be necessary, the following attributes are
26available:
27
28
29.. attribute:: ScrolledText.frame
30
31   The frame which surrounds the text and scroll bar widgets.
32
33
34.. attribute:: ScrolledText.vbar
35
36   The scroll bar widget.
