| 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 with the file as its first argument, e.g., "wish 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. |
