Purpose: to discuss this great looking interface, provide tips on using the toolkit, and hopefully deal objectively with the current Tix versions. [Ioi Lam] originally created Tix. His major technical concern appears to be enhancement of Tix's functionality. His code is at http://tixlibrary.sf.net/ . [Mike Clarkson] maintains the stable release at at http://tix.sourceforge.net . The main focus is stability and portability to other interpreters like Python. ---- [Python] includes Tix along with [Tkinter] as part of recent releases (since 2.1), but you will need the version from http://tix.sourceforge.net. This makes possible such projects as the Tixapps framework http://tix.sourceforge.net/Tixapps/ which is a library and suite of programs, including Tixinspect and TixDebug, which work as either Tcl or Tkinter applications. [Perl]/Tk builds incorporates most of Tix; notice, for example, [http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~olson/pTk/HList.htm]. ---- [Category Package]
