Widget with Orientation

Scale - Style

When we have a widget with an orientation, such as Scale, see what changes. Continue with your interactive session.:

     >>>b = ttk.Scale(None)
     >>>b.winfo_class()
     'TScale'    # class name
>>> layout = St.layout('Vertical.TScale')
# It won't work if you use just TScale

     >>>layout
     [('Vertical.Scale.trough',
     {'children': [('Vertical.Scale.slider', {'side': 'top', 'sticky': ''})],
     'sticky': 'nswe'})]
# we found 2 components, trough and slider

Now try the Horizontal orientation:

     >>>layout = St.layout('Horizontal.TScale')
     >>>layout
     [('Horizontal.Scale.trough',
     {'children': [('Horizontal.Scale.slider', {'side': 'left', 'sticky': ''})],
             'sticky': 'nswe'})]
# notice the changes that are specific to orientation

     >>>d = St.element_options('Horizontal.Scale.trough')
# using the component name
     >>>d
     ('borderwidth', 'troughcolor', 'troughrelief')
# to find the element values
     >>>St.lookup('Horizontal.Scale.slider', 'troughcolor')
     '#c3c3c3'

That wasn't too bad, once we knew that the widget had orientation which had a capitalised first letter.
