    -pady => 5,
    [normal frame options...],
   );

tabcurve - curve to use for top corners of tabs
padx     - padding on either side of children
pady     - padding above and below children

$CurrentSelection = $l_Window->cget ('-current');
$CurrentSelection = $l_Window->cget ('-raised');

current  - (Readonly) currently selected widget
raised   - (Readonly) currently selected widget

$child = $TabbedFrame->Frame # can also be Button, Label, etc
   (
    -caption => 'Tab label',
    -tabcolor => 'yellow',

   );

caption  - label text for the widget's tab
tabcolor - background for the tab button

DESCRIPTION

A tabbed frame geometry manager (like NoteBook). I haven't used NoteBook so I can't really say what behaviour differences or similarities there are. This widget uses direct subwidget creation (no Add methods) and has colors for the tabs.
