The Paned widget manages children in a vertically or horizontally
tiled fashion.  The panes may be dynamically resized by the user by
using the <emphasis remap='I'>grips</emphasis> that appear near the right or bottom edge of the
border between two panes.
</para>
<para>
<!-- .LP -->
The Paned widget may accept any widget class as a pane <function>except</function>
Grip.  Grip widgets have a special meaning for the Paned widget, and
adding a Grip as its own pane will confuse the Paned widget.
</para>

<title>Using the Paned Widget</title>
<!-- .IN "Paned widget" "using" -->
<para>
<!-- .LP -->
The grips allow the panes to be resized by the user.  The semantics of
how these panes resize is somewhat complicated, and warrants further
explanation here.  When the mouse pointer is positioned on a grip and
pressed, an arrow is displayed that indicates the pane that is to be to
be resized.  While keeping the mouse button down, the user can move the
grip up and down (or left and right).  This, in turn, changes the size
of the pane.  The size of the Paned widget will not change.   Instead,
it chooses another pane (or panes) to resize. For more details on which
pane it chooses to resize, see <function>Layout Semantics</function>.
</para>
<para>
<!-- .LP -->
One pointer binding allows the border between two panes to be moved,
without affecting any of the other panes.  When this occurs the pointer
will change to an arrow that points along the pane border.
</para>

The default bindings for the Paned widget's grips are:

Normally the paned widget makes a QueryGeometry call on a child to
determine the preferred size of the child's pane.  There are times
when the application programmer or the user has a better idea of the
preferred size of a pane.  Setting this resource causes the value
passed to be interpreted as the preferred size, in pixels, of this pane.

In order to make effective use of the Paned widget it is helpful to know
the rules it uses to determine which child will be resized in any given
situation.  There are three rules used to determine which child is
resized.  While these rules are always the same, the panes that are
searched can change depending upon what caused the relayout.

When searching the children the Paned widget looks for panes that
satisfy all the rules, and if unsuccessful then it eliminates rule 3
and then 2.  Rule 1 is always enforced.

If the relayout is due to a resize or change in management then the
panes are searched from bottom to top.  If the relayout is due to grip
movement then they are searched from the grip selected in the direction

<title>Resizing Panes after the Paned widget is resized.</title>
<para>
<!-- .LP -->
When the Pane widget is resized it must determine a new size for each
pane.  There are two methods of doing this.  The Paned widget can either
give each pane its preferred size and then resize the panes to fit, or
it can use the current sizes and then resize the panes to fit.  The
<function>resizeToPreferred</function> resource allows the application to tell the
Paned widget whether to query the child about its preferred size
(subject to the the <function>preferredPaneSize</function>) or to use the current size
when refiguring the pane locations after the pane has been resized.
</para>
<para>
<!-- .LP -->
There is one special case.  All panes assume they should resize to
their preferred size until the Paned widget becomes visible to the user.
</para>
</sect3>
<sect3 id="Managing_Children_and_Geometry_Management">
<title>Managing Children and Geometry Management</title>
<para>
<!-- .LP -->
The Paned widget always resizes its children to their preferred sizes when
a new child is managed, or a geometry management request is honored.
The Paned widget will first attempt to resize itself to contain its
panes exactly.  If this is not possible then it will hunt through the
children, from bottom to top (right to left), for a pane to resize.
</para>

these arguments are not passed, the behavior is undefined.
