Paved-widgets 1.0 is a collection of standard widgets enhanced with background-tessellation capability (tiling).

Paved widgets are:

  • Paved::toplevel
  • Paved::frame
  • Paved::button
  • Paved::label
  • Paved::canvas

These widgets have been inspired by the BLT package.

Paved-widgets are pure-tcl widgets requiring the (pure-tcl) snit package.

Here is a sample:

Paved Widgets contain a new widget Paved::canvas replacing the (now obsolete) xCanvas widgets :

LV Are these widgets compatible with the Tile package?

ABU To be honest, I never used Tile ...

Paved Widgets are extensions of the standard Tk widgets; I mean you can use Paved::toplevel instead of toplevel without any difference.

Of course, if you want to exploit its benefits, you should add the "-tile' option; Something like this :

 set top [Paved::toplevel .topW ... options]
  ....
 $top configure -tile cheese.gif
