1 This directory contains a collection of programs to demonstrate
2 the features of the Tk toolkit. The programs are all scripts for
3 "wish", a windowing shell. If wish has been installed on your path
4 then you can invoke any of the programs in this directory just
5 by typing its file name to your command shell under Unix. Otherwise
6 invoke wish with the file as its first argument, e.g., "wish hello".
7 The rest of this file contains a brief description of each program.
8 Files with names ending in ".tcl" are procedure packages used by one
9 or more of the demo programs; they can't be used as programs by
10 themselves so they aren't described below.
12 hello - Creates a single button; if you click on it, a message
13 is typed and the application terminates.
15 widget - 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
20 ixset - 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.
25 rolodex - 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.
30 tcolor - A color editor. Allows you to edit colors in several
31 different ways, and will also perform automatic updates
34 rmt - 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.
38 timer - Displays a seconds timer with start and stop buttons.
39 Control-c and control-q cause it to exit.
41 browse - 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.
