piemenu is a package to create pie menus.
Current version : Beta, 0.3, home [L1 ], download [L2 ], manual (draft) [L3 ]
This is an ongoing project. Hopefully this or some other incarnation of pie menus will prove to be a good widget for Tk. Lack of anti-aliasing and transparency is a problem in creating good looking curved canvas buttons. Ideas and help are invited and welcome. dzach
This package provides a single command piemenu, in a similar manner with Tk's menu command. The piemenu command is used to create either a toplevel or a canvas menu. If the parent of the pathName provided at creation time is a canvas widget, then the pie menu is created in that canvas. Otherwise it is created in a new toplevel window.
Here is an example of how a pie menu looks like:

BUGS
The piemenu package code needs improvement, so bug reports and patches are welcome.
schlenk Did you consider to put this into tklib? Looks like a nice and useful package.
dzach I think it needs further development. It's still in beta, and there are a number of subcommands that are similar to tk's menu command that are not yet implemented. There is also the possibility to make a round (or elliptical) popup piemenu that does not show a rectangular top level window. However, if putting it in tklib would help develop it further, by attracting some more developers who find it useful, I'd be glad to.
