+a point within the widget that should be made visible
+by preference if the entirety of the above-specified
+rectangle cannot be shown. Defaults to the top left of
+the specified rectangle.
+.TP
+\f5-where\fP
+If this option is given, \f5see\fP returns a list containing
+the left, top, right and bottom coordinates of
+the currently visible portion of
