README
1This directory contains a collection of programs to demonstrate
2the features of the Tk toolkit. The programs are all scripts for
3"wish", a windowing shell. If wish has been installed in /usr/local
4then you can invoke any of the programs in this directory just
5by typing its file name to your command shell. Otherwise invoke
6wish with the file as its first argument, e.g., "wish hello".
7The rest of this file contains a brief description of each program.
8Files with names ending in ".tcl" are procedure packages used by one
9or more of the demo programs; they can't be used as programs by
10themselves so they aren't described below.
11
12hello - Creates a single button; if you click on it, a message
13 is typed and the application terminates.
14
15widget - Contains a collection of demonstrations of the widgets
16 currently available in the Tk library. Most of the .tcl
17 files are scripts for individual demos available through
18 the "widget" program.
19
20ixset - A simple Tk-based wrapper for the "xset" program, which
21 allows you to interactively query and set various X options
22 such as mouse acceleration and bell volume. Thanks to
23 Pierre David for contributing this example.
24
25rolodex - A mock-up of a simple rolodex application. It has much of
26 the user interface for such an application but no back-end
27 database. This program was written in response to Tom
28 LaStrange's toolkit benchmark challenge.
29
30tcolor - A color editor. Allows you to edit colors in several
31 different ways, and will also perform automatic updates
32 using "send".
33
34rmt - Allows you to "hook-up" remotely to any Tk application
35 on the display. Select an application with the menu,
36 then just type commands: they'll go to that application.
37
38timer - Displays a seconds timer with start and stop buttons.
39 Control-c and control-q cause it to exit.
40
41browse - A simple directory browser. Invoke it with and argument
42 giving the name of the directory you'd like to browse.
43 Double-click on files or subdirectories to browse them.
44 Control-c and control-q cause the program to exit.
