windowName

"string" - Name of the new notebook-control.

Flags

e/edit

If true then edit an existing notebook.

s/select

Selects a page of the notebook. The first page has index 0.

pos/position

Specifies the position of the window.

b/border

This flag specifies to which side(s) of the control a border will be applied to.

"[lrtb] width" - First group is a string combining characters standing for 'left', 'right', 'top' and 'bottom' side.After a space the width of the border in pixel is specified.

al/align

Specifies the alignment of the item within the space allotted to it by the layout.

"left"|"right"|"center"|"top"|"bottom" - Alignment of control. Top- and bottom-align only makes sense in a row-layout, left- and right-align in a column layout.

"shaped" - With this argument the item will be expanded as much as possible while also maintaining its aspect ratio

p/proportion
