Version 7 of Useful Tk Widgets

Updated 2003-10-28 17:55:36

Purpose: collection point for people to list places around the wikit or the internet where they have found useful Tk widgets which do not come in the current Tk distribution. If at some point in the future they are added to the standard distribution, I would hope someone would notice and remove them from this page.

NOTE: This is not a place for stand-alone Tk applications - that would be a page like Tk examples. This is only for widgets - whether individual ones, packaged on the internet or code listed here on the wiki. This is for Tk based widgets, not widgets based on other toolkits.


Alternate Widget Sets is a good page for groups of widgets, or widget tools, available as packages/extensions on the internet.


What is a widget? A widget, in my mind, is a piece of software designed to allow a developer to organize a method of communicating with the user. It may be used for visual display of info, visual input of info, or invisibly organizing other widgets.



See Widgets in the initial Tk package on this wiki. Too bad someone hasn't done something similar for the other packages mentioned here and elsewhere.


What about things like these text widget techniques? Do these seem relevant here?


And these entry widget techniques?


And finally these other items.

  [[If any of the above needs moved around, feel free to organize as most useful.]]
