selectborderwidth − Width of the three-dimentional border around selected items of the widget.
wraplength − Maximum line length for widgets that perform word wrapping.
height − Desired height of the widget; must be greater than or equal to 1.
underline − Index of the character to underline in the widget's text (0 is the first character, 1 the second one, and so on).
