# ttk::sizegrip(3tk)

Bottom-right corner resize widget

```

```

## NAME

ttk::sizegrip - Bottom-right corner resize widget

## SYNOPSIS

**ttk::sizegrip** *pathName* ?*options*?

```

```

## DESCRIPTION

A **ttk::sizegrip** widget (also known as a *grow box*) allows the user to resize the containing toplevel window by pressing and dragging the grip.

## STANDARD OPTIONS

```
-class	-cursor	-state
-style	-takefocus
```

See the  manual entry for details on the standard options.

## WIDGET COMMAND

Sizegrip widgets support the standard **cget**, **configure**, **identify**, **instate**, and **state** methods.  No other widget methods are used.

## PLATFORM-SPECIFIC NOTES

On Mac OSX, toplevel windows automatically include a built-in size grip by default. Adding a **ttk::sizegrip** there is harmless, since the built-in grip will just mask the widget.

## EXAMPLES

Using pack:

```
pack [ttk::frame $top.statusbar] -side bottom -fill x
pack [ttk::sizegrip $top.statusbar.grip] -side right -anchor se
```

Using grid:

```
grid [ttk::sizegrip $top.statusbar.grip] \
    -row $lastRow -column $lastColumn -sticky se
# ... optional: add vertical scrollbar in $lastColumn,
# ... optional: add horizontal scrollbar in $lastRow
```

## BUGS

If the containing toplevel's position was specified relative to the right or bottom of the screen (e.g., “**wm geometry ...** *w***x***h***-***x***-***y*” instead of “**wm geometry ...** *w***x***h***+***x***+***y*”), the sizegrip widget will not resize the window.

**ttk::sizegrip** widgets only support “southeast” resizing.
