| 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 on your path | |
| then you can invoke any of the programs in this directory just | |
| by typing its file name to your command shell under Unix. 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. | |
