[incr Widgets] is an object-oriented mega-widget set which extends Tcl/Tk and is
|
|
based on [incr Tcl] and [incr Tk]. This set of mega-widgets delivers many new,
|
|
general purpose widgets like option menus, comboboxes, selection boxes, and
|
|
various dialogs whose couterparts are found in Motif and Windows. Since [incr
|
|
Widgets] is based on the [incr Tk] extension, the Tk framework of configuration
|
|
options, widget commands, and default bindings is maintained. In other words,
|
|
each [incr Widgets] mega-widget seamlessly blends with the standard Tk widgets.
|
|
They look, act and feel like Tk widgets. In addition, all [incr Widgets]
|
|
mega-widgets are object oriented and may themselves be extended, using either
|
|
inheritance or composition.
|
|
|
|
[incr Widgets] offers a strong object-oriented foundation which addresses the
|
|
need for a flexible and extensible mega-widget set. Its usage replaces common
|
|
widget combinations with higher level abstractions, simplifying code, reducing
|
|
errors, increasing readability, adding productivity, and promoting a singular
|
|
look-and-feel. The ability to extend [incr Widgets] enables developers to create
|
|
new mega-widgets based on previous work.
