Inaccurate documentation of the Tk option data types in tkinter #159308

Documentation

The "Tk option data types" section of the tkinter documentation is inaccurate in several places:

  • geometry documents a widget option which does not exist.
  • wrap gives the values of the Text option, but the Spinbox option with the same name is a boolean.
  • color says that the names are read from the X11 rgb.txt file, while they are provided by Tk.
  • boolean, bitmap, callback, font, region and anchor list only a part of the accepted values.
  • The compound, orient, padding and state types are not described at all.

There are also several more minor errors.
