64 | Toplevel widget of Tix which represents mostly the main window | |
65 | of an application. It has an associated Tcl interpreter. | |
66 | ||
67 | <P> | |
68 | Classes in the <tt class="module"><a href="module-Tix.html">Tix</a></tt> module subclasses the classes in the | |
69 | <tt class="module"><a href="module-Tkinter.html">Tkinter</a></tt> module. The former imports the latter, so to use | |
70 | <tt class="module"><a href="module-Tix.html">Tix</a></tt> with Tkinter, all you need to do is to import one | |
71 | module. In general, you can just import <tt class="module"><a href="module-Tix.html">Tix</a></tt>, and replace | |
72 | the toplevel call to <tt class="class">Tkinter.Tk</tt> with <tt class="class">Tix.Tk</tt>: | |
73 | <div class="verbatim"><pre> | |
74 | import Tix | |
75 | from Tkconstants import * | |
76 | root = Tix.Tk() | |
77 | </pre></div> | |
78 | </dl> | |
79 | ||
80 | <P> | |
81 | To use <tt class="module"><a href="module-Tix.html">Tix</a></tt>, you must have the <tt class="module"><a href="module-Tix.html">Tix</a></tt> widgets installed, | |
82 | usually alongside your installation of the Tk widgets. | |
83 | To test your installation, try the following: | |
84 | <div class="verbatim"><pre> | |
85 | import Tix | |
86 | root = Tix.Tk() | |
87 | root.tk.eval('package require Tix') | |
88 | </pre></div> | |
89 | ||
90 | <P> | |
91 | If this fails, you have a Tk installation problem which must be | |
92 | resolved before proceeding. Use the environment variable <a class="envvar" id='l2h-4844' xml:id='l2h-4844'>TIX_LIBRARY</a> | |
93 | to point to the installed <tt class="module"><a href="module-Tix.html">Tix</a></tt> library directory, and | |
94 | make sure you have the dynamic object library (<span class="file">tix8183.dll</span> or | |
95 | <span class="file">libtix8183.so</span>) in the same directory that contains your Tk | |
96 | dynamic object library (<span class="file">tk8183.dll</span> or <span class="file">libtk8183.so</span>). The | |
97 | directory with the dynamic object library should also have a file | |
98 | called <span class="file">pkgIndex.tcl</span> (case sensitive), which contains the line: | |
99 | ||
100 | <P> | |
101 | <div class="verbatim"><pre> | |
102 | package ifneeded Tix 8.1 [list load "[file join $dir tix8183.dll]" Tix] | |
103 | </pre></div> | |
