| 67 | The <tt class="module">Tix</tt> (Tk Interface Extension) module provides an |
| 68 | additional rich set of widgets. Although the standard Tk library has |
| 69 | many useful widgets, they are far from complete. The <tt class="module">Tix</tt> |
| 70 | library provides most of the commonly needed widgets that are missing |
| 71 | from standard Tk: <tt class="class">HList</tt>, <tt class="class">ComboBox</tt>, <tt class="class">Control</tt> |
| 72 | (a.k.a. SpinBox) and an assortment of scrollable widgets. <tt class="module">Tix</tt> |
| 73 | also includes many more widgets that are generally useful in a wide |
| 74 | range of applications: <tt class="class">NoteBook</tt>, <tt class="class">FileEntry</tt>, |
| 75 | <tt class="class">PanedWindow</tt>, etc; there are more than 40 of them. |
| 76 | |
| 77 | <P> |
| 78 | With all these new widgets, you can introduce new interaction |
| 79 | techniques into applications, creating more useful and more intuitive |
| 80 | user interfaces. You can design your application by choosing the most |
| 81 | appropriate widgets to match the special needs of your application and |
| 82 | users. |
