ntkWidget is an implementation of widgets similar to the existing Tk widgets (label, frame button, text, entry ...) by apw, which is based on the megapkg, ntk and freetypeext packages written by GPS. The idea is to have images as the base of all widgets and parts thereof. The implementation is derived from the NexTk implemented by GPS.
The implementation is done with an extended version of incr Tcl: itcl-ng, which provides the necessary functionality. Nevertheless it should be possible to use "normal" proc functionality of Tcl to use that package and to build for example megawidgets or GUIs based on the package.
General information on some of the "structuring" used for all of the commands below:
The current commands are:
These are mostly implemented.
Additional commands will be:
The commands are implemented in the ::ntk namespace as ntk namespace ensemble commands, so at least Tcl8.5b1 and Itcl 4.0 (itcl-ng) are necessary.
apw 2007-12-02 -- for trying out this package you need at the moment:
The small demos are found in ntk/demos directory. They are all started with: tclsh8.5 <demoFileName>.tcl. Some have an additional command line parameter degrees to determine how much the widget should be rotated. There is also a short README file there.
Here a short overview over the directory hierarchy:
top directory | itcl | itk | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
package directory | ntk | tclGL | glmwfw | glmwfwx11 | ntkWidgetImage | |||
source code directory | generic | library + demos | generic | generic | generic | generic | ||
package name | Itcl 4.0 | ntkWidget 0.1 | TclGL 0.1 | Glmwfwx11 0.1 | Glmwfw 0.1 | ntkWidgetImage 0.1 |
