These values are passed to the add
method of the
parent container. Examples of values are expand
,
fill
, and anchor
, although they're not always
supported by a given widget. For more details see add.
Occasionally the variable arguments feature has been used to sneak
in hidden arguments to toolkit implementations. For example, when
using a widget as a menubar object one can specify a parent
argument to pass in parent information, similar to how the
argument is used with gaction and the dialogs.
