+ Clicking the tab makes a child visible() by calling show() on it, and all
+ other children are made invisible by calling hide() on them. Usually the
+ children are Fl_Group widgets containing several widgets themselves.
+
+ \b Note: The widgets contained in each child should leave some clear space (five
+ pixels as of FLTK 1.4.0) at the top or bottom of the group where the tabs are
+ displayed, otherwise drawing the children may interfere with the separation
+ border between the tabs and the children. This is particularly important if the
+ child group is an Fl_Scroll widget: either the Fl_Scroll widget can be inset by
+ five pixels relative to other children or it must be ensured that the widgets
+ inside the Fl_Scroll group stay away from the top or bottom by this amount. You
+ can use an invisible Fl_Box at the top (or bottom) of the Fl_Scroll widget so
+ other (visible) widgets can't be scrolled all the way up or down to achieve this.
