Richard Suchenwirth 2003-03-28 - Here is a little animation example: a message that is slowly, character after character, displayed on a text widget, giving the impression that it was being typed in real time. The word wrap is interesting to watch (that would not happen on a typewriter ;-)
proc slowtext {w text} {
if {$text != ""} {
$w insert end [string index $text 0]
$w see end
after 100 [list slowtext $w [string range $text 1 end]]
}
} #----------------- little demo
pack [text .t -font {Courier 16 bold} -width 20 -height 4 -wrap word]
slowtext .t "Tcl is one of the best scripting languages.

Both of them allow you to achieve much with little effort."Category Example | Category Animation | Arts and crafts of Tcl-Tk programming
