ANNOUNCE: Tk vu widget set 2.1.0
Jeff Hobbs
WHERE: http://tktable.sourceforge.net/
REQUIREMENTS: Tcl/Tk8.1+, C compiling required
Binaries available for several platforms
INTRODUCTION:
I'm finally getting around to making an official release of the
rewritten vu widget set ... (too) long sitting on my disk, this
should be useful to some with the specialized widget needs.
Based on the old vuw widgets from UCO-Lick, this package consists of:
::vu::dial a "clock face" gauge with a rotating indicator hand
which can be scaled as you wish to represent various
integer values
::vu::pie a pie chart with legend, shading, exploded segments, etc.
::vu::spinbox a standard spinbox (<= 8.3)
This is the same as the 8.4 core spinbox widget.
::vu::panedwindow a paned window widget (> 8.4)
Panedwindow code written by Eric Melski.
This is expected to be placed in the core for 8.4.
::vu::bargraph a "gas gauge" (growing/shrinking bar) such as many
mac applications use to indicate %age of file
processed, count of bytes transferred etc.
The following widgets are also under development:
::vu::combo a standard combobox
The following additional canvas items are also included:
stripchart taken from scotty (Schoenwaelder)
barchart taken from scotty (Schoenwaelder)
sticker taken from tkSticker-1.2 (Heribert Dahms), Unix only
Under development (actually, just requires internal Tk headers that
aren't searched for by default):
label from tkgraph-2.0.4's tkCanvText.c
a dash-pached version of standard tkCanvText.c
renamed to tkCanvLabel.c
(The tkCanvLabel.c should be part of the CORE.)

Groovy! Here's hoping that one makes it into the core as soon as possible.
Jeff Hobbs
Hmmm, well, I'm not even sure what state that combobox is in.
It was very experimental when I last worked on it at Ajuba,
and I haven't touched it since ...
I think the time would be better spent finishing Eric Melski's
work on a C interface to the bindings / option / focus internals
that would enable better megawidgets.

You'll get no argument for me on that. Is there hope we'll see this (the C
interface to the bindings, etc.) in 8.4?

Errr, ummm, a weird sort of canvas item that is kind of like
a post-it note. I'm not sure about it's use, as I've not used
it myself (except in testing). It was originally written by
Dahms, and contributed to me for vu by Christian Wegehaupt.
I suppose I could make screenshots of the widgets ...

Note http://mini.net/tcl/490.html
which contains screenshots for the core Tk widgets.
Maybe something similar for vu ?
