Customize with setformat

The Rtl_tabset supports custom Tabs. It is possible to define individual design for single tabs as-well as for the entire tabset. The method 'setformat' being is used to tell the tabset which type to use. Call 'setformat' before adding any tabs to the Rtl_tabset. Setformat expects a string with variable substitution using the Tcl/Tk 'format' command. The example below lists the index and meaning inside the format string. Consult the tabset.tcl implementation file for more details.
