Tcl/Tk Widget Tour 1.1 ---------------------- This is a simple "widget tour" for Tcl and Tk. I wrote it originally for a tutorial I was giving, and the response was so enthusiastic I polished it up a little for general release. The intent is to show some simple Tcl/Tk examples (which I call "lessons"), with source code, with the ability to modify the code and immediately see the results. The widget tour is a great way to learn the system or demonstrate it to someone else. If you have someone who wants to learn more about Tcl and Tk, tell them about the widget tour! Changes from Version 1.0 ------------------------ Version 1.1 now includes binary distributions for many more systems. There are also a few minor bug fixes and more lesson examples. Installing and Running ---------------------- The widget tour is distributed with binaries for a variety of systems: wtour1.1.tar.Z Tcl/Tk source only (requires Tk >3.1) wtour1.1-386bsd.tar.Z 386BSD wtour1.1-apollo.tar.Z HP/Apollo wtour1.1-decalpha.tar.Z DEC Alpha AXP (OSF) wtour1.1-decmips.tar.Z DEC MIPS (ULTRIX) wtour1.1-linux.tar.Z Linux (386) wtour1.1-parisc.tar.Z HP PA-RISC wtour1.1-rs6000.tar.Z IBM RS/6000 wtour1.1-sco386.tar.Z SCO 386 wtour1.1-sparc.tar.Z Sun SPARC wtour1.1-sgimips.tar.Z SGI Irix systems The binary versions do not require Tcl/Tk to be installed--EVERYTHING you need to run is in the tar file. These versions should just unpack and run. To unpack and start the tour: % cd % zcat | tar xvf - % cd wtour % ./wtour Use the menus to navigate through different lessons. You can make changes to the lesson source code; click on the Apply button to see the results of the changes.
