- This file contains a list of bugs to fix and minor feature changes
- needed in the Tk toolkit. The list is ordered by the time when the
- idea for the change first arose; no priority should be inferred from
- the order.
-
- sccsid = @(#) ToDo 1.5 95/05/12 09:16:30
-
- 106. Add feature to buttons for automatic defaulting, where button
- allocates extra space for default ring.
-
- 136. Implement mechanism for using existing window as main window for
- application, support with command-line argument in wish.
-
- 139. Change canvas Postscript generation to be smarter about font names
- that have been abbreviated: use X to look up the full name.
-
- 147. Add "window" entry to menus.
-
- 148. Add an "initProc" and a "freeProc" to TK_CONFIG_CUSTOM config types.
-
- 150. In SYNONYM options, specify a command-line switch for the other
- option, not a database name.
-
- 152. Make canvas window items restack in response to canvase "raise"
- and "lower" commands.
-
- 153. Some fonts (e.g. Times) have underline characters that extend
- *below* the official descent of the font. Right now the underline
- is invisible for these fonts in text widgets. Find a way to make
- this work in text?
-
- 149. Add -nosecurity option to Tk to replace -DTK_NO_SECURITY.
-
- 150. Change the bindings for menubuttons to watch mouse motion events
- and map them to menu or menubutton windows "by hand", so as to eliminate
- the need for a menu to be a descendant of the menubutton.
-
- 151. Create an I/O event handler so that Tk can continue after a server
- connection is lost.
-
- 152. Eliminate Tcl_AppInit and replace it with main, which calls procedures
- in tclMain.c and tkMain.c?
-
- 153. Allow Tk applications to be embedded inside other Tk applications:
- - Allow the window for a widget to be specified explicitly, rather
- than being created automatically by Tk. This would allow the
- main window for one application to use an internal window that
- already exists in another application.
- - Modify wish's main.c to allow a window id for the main window to
- be specified as a command-line argument.
- - Build a special widget for embedding other applications, which will
- implement the window-manager side of the ICCCM protocols, e.g.,
- feeding requested size information up from the embedded application
- into the enclosing widget hierarchy.
-
- 154. Improvements to canvases:
- - Allow items to be rotated?
- - Allow polygons to be outlined.
- - Make "raise" of window items work correctly.
- - In the "find" widget option, make it possible to restrict search
- to a particular tag.
- - Allow items to become visible/invisible.
-
- 156. Add a "wm anchor" option to make it easier to center windows.
-
- 157. Various improvements to option database:
- - Allow patterns to be read from database or deleted from database.
- - Allow database to be cleared without automatically reloading from
- .Xdefaults files.
- - Allow additional info to be read from various window properties.
- - Support new wildcards from X11R5.
- - Allow mechanism to extend to cover cases where there isn't even
- a window, or even an application by the name used in the option
- get command.
- - Allow options in database to override those specified on Tcl
- command lines?
- - Revert to X conflict-resolution scheme?
-
- 158. Make it possible for wish to run without a display.
-
- 159. Change option tables to be arrays of pointers, rather than arrays of
- entries? Makes it easier to keep separate named structures for particular
- options, e.g. so that you can tell when an option has changed.
-
- 160. Change text scrolling so that the top of the window can fall in
- the middle of a text line.
