- This directory contains a collection of programs to demonstrate
- the features of the Tk toolkit. The programs are all scripts for
- "wish", a windowing shell. If wish has been installed in /usr/local
- then you can invoke any of the programs in this directory just
- by typing its file name to your command shell. Otherwise invoke
- wish on the file using the "-f" switch to wish, e.g. "wish -f hello".
- The rest of this file contains a brief description of each program.
- Files with names ending in ".tcl" are procedure packages used by one
- or more of the demo programs; they can't be used as programs by
- themselves so they aren't described below.
-
- hello - Creates a single button; if you click on it, a message
- is typed and the application terminates.
-
- widget - Contains a collection of demonstrations of the widgets
- currently available in the Tk library. Most of the .tcl
- files are scripts for individual demos available through
- the "widget" program.
-
- ixset - A simple Tk-based wrapper for the "xset" program, which
- allows you to interactively query and set various X options
- such as mouse acceleration and bell volume. Thanks to
- Pierre David for contributing this example.
-
- rolodex - A mock-up of a simple rolodex application. It has much of
- the user interface for such an application but no back-end
- database. This program was written in response to Tom
- LaStrange's toolkit benchmark challenge.
-
- tcolor - A color editor. Allows you to edit colors in several
- different ways, and will also perform automatic updates
- using "send".
-
- rmt - Allows you to "hook-up" remotely to any Tk application
- on the display. Select an application with the menu,
- then just type commands: they'll go to that application.
-
- timer - Displays a seconds timer with start and stop buttons.
- Control-c and control-q cause it to exit.
-
- browse - A simple directory browser. Invoke it with and argument
- giving the name of the directory you'd like to browse.
- Double-click on files or subdirectories to browse them.
- Control-c and control-q cause the program to exit.
-
- dialog - Displays a simple dialog. Click on any button and the
- application exits.
-
- size - Takes three arguments: the name of an application, the
- name of a widget in that application, and the name of an
- integer-valued option for that widget. Allows you to
- interactively resize the given option. For example,
- start up the dialog demo, then type
- "size dialog .bot.middle -pady" for an example.
-
- color - Similar to "size", but modifies a color option. Try
- "color dialog .bot.middle -bg" for an example.
-
- tkSquare.c - A very simple widget to provide an example of how to
- implement a new widget. When building a new widget you
- may find it useful to start from this code.
