A '''Snidget''' is a [Widget] made with [Snit]. [SRIV] History of the word ''Snidgit'': One of the 2004 Tcl Conference attendees (should we name him?) made a slip-up while asking a question about [Snit] [widget]s. After a good laugh, the name stuck throughout the discussions for the remainder of the conference. Should we name John Harris? Nah .. I don't think so :-) [stevel] ---- Some snidgets are described in the wiki: * [snitbutton] is like [gbuttons] * [snitScrollWindow] and [scrodget] make it easy to add scrollbars to other widgets * [A Snit News Ticker Widget] * [snitfinddialog] is a "find in this page" dialog * [snitscope] object viewer * [snitbrowser] wrapper around TkHtml * [MappingEntry] * [Paved Widgets] enhanced toplevel, frame, button, label, canvas with background-tessellation capability (tiling) * [Wallclock] is a continuosly updated clock embedded in a label widget * [Penpad] is small widget for free-hand drawing. ---- You might also be interested in the discussion of [A New Megawidget Library]. ---- [LV] You also might check out the [widget] module of [tklib], where work is going on to collect snidgets for distribution. Authors of snidgets can post to the maintainers there, or the feature request function of http://tcllib.sf.net/ or to the tcllib mailing list for help in getting their code included. ''[escargo] 23 Aug 2005'' - Note this description of [widget] on the http://tcllib.sf.net/ page: ''widget: An older suite of megawidgets for Tk''. This does not make it sound like new work is being done on [widget]. You might want to update the page a bit. Poking around a bit more I did find this in cvs: tcllib/tklib/modules/widget. So the problem is that there are multiple widget packages. How confusing. It's a bit late, but I think a unique name would have been ''a good idea.'' <<categories>> Glossary | Widget | Snit Widgets
