:mod:`tkinter.tix` --- Extension widgets for Tk
===============================================

.. module:: tkinter.tix
   :synopsis: Tk Extension Widgets for Tkinter

.. sectionauthor:: Mike Clarkson <mikeclarkson@users.sourceforge.net>

**Source code:** :source:`Lib/tkinter/tix.py`

.. index:: single: Tix

.. deprecated:: 3.6
   This Tk extension is unmaintained and should not be used in new code.  Use
   :mod:`tkinter.ttk` instead.

--------------

The :mod:`tkinter.tix` (Tk Interface Extension) module provides an additional
rich set of widgets. Although the standard Tk library has many useful widgets,
they are far from complete. The :mod:`tkinter.tix` library provides most of the
commonly needed widgets that are missing from standard Tk: :class:`HList`,
:class:`ComboBox`, :class:`Control` (a.k.a. SpinBox) and an assortment of
scrollable widgets.
:mod:`tkinter.tix` also includes many more widgets that are generally useful in
a wide range of applications: :class:`NoteBook`, :class:`FileEntry`,
:class:`PanedWindow`, etc; there are more than 40 of them.

With all these new widgets, you can introduce new interaction techniques into
applications, creating more useful and more intuitive user interfaces. You can
design your application by choosing the most appropriate widgets to match the
special needs of your application and users.

.. seealso::

`Tix Homepage <http://tix.sourceforge.net/>`_
      The home page for :mod:`Tix`.  This includes links to additional documentation
      and downloads.

`Tix Man Pages <http://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/man/>`_
      On-line version of the man pages and reference material.

`Tix Programming Guide <http://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/docs/tix-book/tix.book.html>`_
      On-line version of the programmer's reference material.

`Tix Development Applications <http://tix.sourceforge.net/Tixapps/src/Tide.html>`_
      Tix applications for development of Tix and Tkinter programs. Tide applications
      work under Tk or Tkinter, and include :program:`TixInspect`, an inspector to
      remotely modify and debug Tix/Tk/Tkinter applications.

Using Tix
---------

.. class:: Tk(screenName=None, baseName=None, className='Tix')

Toplevel widget of Tix which represents mostly the main window of an
   application. It has an associated Tcl interpreter.

Classes in the :mod:`tkinter.tix` module subclasses the classes in the
   :mod:`tkinter`. The former imports the latter, so to use :mod:`tkinter.tix`
   with Tkinter, all you need to do is to import one module. In general, you
   can just import :mod:`tkinter.tix`, and replace the toplevel call to
   :class:`tkinter.Tk` with :class:`tix.Tk`::

from tkinter import tix
      from tkinter.constants import *
      root = tix.Tk()

To use :mod:`tkinter.tix`, you must have the Tix widgets installed, usually
alongside your installation of the Tk widgets. To test your installation, try
the following::

from tkinter import tix
   root = tix.Tk()
   root.tk.eval('package require Tix')

If this fails, you have a Tk installation problem which must be resolved before
proceeding. Use the environment variable :envvar:`TIX_LIBRARY` to point to the
installed Tix library directory, and make sure you have the dynamic
object library (:file:`tix8183.dll` or :file:`libtix8183.so`) in  the same
directory that contains your Tk dynamic object library (:file:`tk8183.dll` or
:file:`libtk8183.so`). The directory with the dynamic object library should also
have a file called :file:`pkgIndex.tcl` (case sensitive), which contains the
line::

package ifneeded Tix 8.1 [list load "[file join $dir tix8183.dll]" Tix]

Tix Widgets
-----------

`Tix <http://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/man/html/TixCmd/TixIntro.htm>`_
introduces over 40 widget classes to the :mod:`tkinter` repertoire.

Basic Widgets
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. class:: Balloon()

A `Balloon
   <http://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/man/html/TixCmd/tixBalloon.htm>`_ that
   pops up over a widget to provide help.  When the user moves the cursor inside a
   widget to which a Balloon widget has been bound, a small pop-up window with a
   descriptive message will be shown on the screen.

.. Python Demo of:
.. \ulink{Balloon}{http://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/demos/samples/Balloon.tcl}

.. class:: ButtonBox()

   widgets are to accept inputs from the user, which can be done with the ``bind``
   command (Unix only).

Form Geometry Manager
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In addition, :mod:`tkinter.tix` augments :mod:`tkinter` by providing:

.. class:: Form()

The `Form
   <http://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/man/html/TixCmd/tixForm.htm>`_ geometry
   manager based on attachment rules for all Tk widgets.

Tix Commands
------------

.. class:: tixCommand()

The `tix commands
   <http://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/man/html/TixCmd/tix.htm>`_ provide
   access to miscellaneous elements of :mod:`Tix`'s internal state and the
   :mod:`Tix` application context.  Most of the information manipulated by these
   methods pertains to the application as a whole, or to a screen or display,
   rather than to a particular window.

To view the current settings, the common usage is::

from tkinter import tix
      root = tix.Tk()
      print(root.tix_configure())

.. method:: tixCommand.tix_configure(cnf=None, **kw)

Query or modify the configuration options of the Tix application context. If no
   option is specified, returns a dictionary all of the available options.  If
   option is specified with no value, then the method returns a list describing the
   one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of
   the value returned if no option is specified).  If one or more option-value
   pairs are specified, then the method modifies the given option(s) to have the
   given value(s); in this case the method returns an empty string. Option may be
   any of the configuration options.

.. method:: tixCommand.tix_cget(option)

Returns the current value of the configuration option given by *option*. Option
   may be any of the configuration options.

.. method:: tixCommand.tix_getbitmap(name)

Locates a bitmap file of the name ``name.xpm`` or ``name`` in one of the bitmap
   directories (see the :meth:`tix_addbitmapdir` method).  By using
   :meth:`tix_getbitmap`, you can avoid hard coding the pathnames of the bitmap
   files in your application. When successful, it returns the complete pathname of
   the bitmap file, prefixed with the character ``@``.  The returned value can be
   used to configure the ``bitmap`` option of the Tk and Tix widgets.

.. method:: tixCommand.tix_addbitmapdir(directory)

Tix maintains a list of directories under which the :meth:`tix_getimage` and
   :meth:`tix_getbitmap` methods will search for image files.  The standard bitmap
   directory is :file:`$TIX_LIBRARY/bitmaps`. The :meth:`tix_addbitmapdir` method
   adds *directory* into this list. By using this method, the image files of an
   applications can also be located using the :meth:`tix_getimage` or
   :meth:`tix_getbitmap` method.

.. method:: tixCommand.tix_filedialog([dlgclass])

Returns the file selection dialog that may be shared among different calls from
   this application.  This method will create a file selection dialog widget when
   it is called the first time. This dialog will be returned by all subsequent
   calls to :meth:`tix_filedialog`.  An optional dlgclass parameter can be passed
   as a string to specified what type of file selection dialog widget is desired.
   Possible options are ``tix``, ``FileSelectDialog`` or ``tixExFileSelectDialog``.

.. method:: tixCommand.tix_getimage(self, name)

Locates an image file of the name :file:`name.xpm`, :file:`name.xbm` or
   :file:`name.ppm` in one of the bitmap directories (see the
   :meth:`tix_addbitmapdir` method above). If more than one file with the same name
   (but different extensions) exist, then the image type is chosen according to the
   depth of the X display: xbm images are chosen on monochrome displays and color
   images are chosen on color displays. By using :meth:`tix_getimage`, you can
   avoid hard coding the pathnames of the image files in your application. When
   successful, this method returns the name of the newly created image, which can
   be used to configure the ``image`` option of the Tk and Tix widgets.

.. method:: tixCommand.tix_option_get(name)

Gets the options maintained by the Tix scheme mechanism.

.. method:: tixCommand.tix_resetoptions(newScheme, newFontSet[, newScmPrio])

Resets the scheme and fontset of the Tix application to *newScheme* and
   *newFontSet*, respectively.  This affects only those widgets created after this
   call.  Therefore, it is best to call the resetoptions method before the creation
   of any widgets in a Tix application.

The optional parameter *newScmPrio* can be given to reset the priority level of
   the Tk options set by the Tix schemes.

Because of the way Tk handles the X option database, after Tix has been has
   imported and inited, it is not possible to reset the color schemes and font sets
   using the :meth:`tix_config` method. Instead, the :meth:`tix_resetoptions`
   method must be used.

:mod:`tkinter.tix` --- Extension widgets for Tk =============================================== .. module:: tkinter.tix :synopsis: Tk Extension Widgets for Tkinter .. sectionauthor:: Mike Clarkson **Source code:** :source:`Lib/tkinter/tix.py` .. index:: single: Tix .. deprecated:: 3.6 This Tk extension is unmaintained and should not be used in new code. Use :mod:`tkinter.ttk` instead. -------------- The :mod:`tkinter.tix` (Tk Interface Extension) module provides an additional rich set of widgets. Although the standard Tk library has many useful widgets, they are far from complete. The :mod:`tkinter.tix` library provides most of the commonly needed widgets that are missing from standard Tk: :class:`HList`, :class:`ComboBox`, :class:`Control` (a.k.a. SpinBox) and an assortment of scrollable widgets. :mod:`tkinter.tix` also includes many more widgets that are generally useful in a wide range of applications: :class:`NoteBook`, :class:`FileEntry`, :class:`PanedWindow`, etc; there are more than 40 of them. With all these new widgets, you can introduce new interaction techniques into applications, creating more useful and more intuitive user interfaces. You can design your application by choosing the most appropriate widgets to match the special needs of your application and users. .. seealso:: `Tix Homepage `_ The home page for :mod:`Tix`. This includes links to additional documentation and downloads. `Tix Man Pages `_ On-line version of the man pages and reference material. `Tix Programming Guide `_ On-line version of the programmer's reference material. `Tix Development Applications `_ Tix applications for development of Tix and Tkinter programs. Tide applications work under Tk or Tkinter, and include :program:`TixInspect`, an inspector to remotely modify and debug Tix/Tk/Tkinter applications. Using Tix --------- .. class:: Tk(screenName=None, baseName=None, className='Tix') Toplevel widget of Tix which represents mostly the main window of an application. It has an associated Tcl interpreter. Classes in the :mod:`tkinter.tix` module subclasses the classes in the :mod:`tkinter`. The former imports the latter, so to use :mod:`tkinter.tix` with Tkinter, all you need to do is to import one module. In general, you can just import :mod:`tkinter.tix`, and replace the toplevel call to :class:`tkinter.Tk` with :class:`tix.Tk`:: from tkinter import tix from tkinter.constants import * root = tix.Tk() To use :mod:`tkinter.tix`, you must have the Tix widgets installed, usually alongside your installation of the Tk widgets. To test your installation, try the following:: from tkinter import tix root = tix.Tk() root.tk.eval('package require Tix') If this fails, you have a Tk installation problem which must be resolved before proceeding. Use the environment variable :envvar:`TIX_LIBRARY` to point to the installed Tix library directory, and make sure you have the dynamic object library (:file:`tix8183.dll` or :file:`libtix8183.so`) in the same directory that contains your Tk dynamic object library (:file:`tk8183.dll` or :file:`libtk8183.so`). The directory with the dynamic object library should also have a file called :file:`pkgIndex.tcl` (case sensitive), which contains the line:: package ifneeded Tix 8.1 [list load "[file join $dir tix8183.dll]" Tix] Tix Widgets ----------- `Tix `_ introduces over 40 widget classes to the :mod:`tkinter` repertoire.

The panes can be arranged either vertically or horizontally. The user changes the sizes of the panes by dragging the resize handle between two panes. .. Python Demo of: .. \ulink{PanedWindow}{http://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/demos/samples/PanedWin.tcl} .. class:: ListNoteBook() The `ListNoteBook `_ widget is very similar to the :class:`TixNoteBook` widget: it can be used to display many windows in a limited space using a notebook metaphor. The notebook is divided into a stack of pages (windows). At one time only one of these pages can be shown. The user can navigate through these pages by choosing the name of the desired page in the :attr:`hlist` subwidget. ..

Form Geometry Manager ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ In addition, :mod:`tkinter.tix` augments :mod:`tkinter` by providing: .. class:: Form() The `Form `_ geometry manager based on attachment rules for all Tk widgets. Tix Commands ------------ .. class:: tixCommand() The `tix commands `_ provide access to miscellaneous elements of :mod:`Tix`'s internal state and the :mod:`Tix` application context. Most of the information manipulated by these methods pertains to the application as a whole, or to a screen or display, rather than to a particular window. To view the current settings, the common usage is:: from tkinter import tix root = tix.Tk() print(root.tix_configure()) .. method:: tixCommand.tix_configure(cnf=None, **kw) Query or modify the configuration options of the Tix application context. If no option is specified, returns a dictionary all of the available options. If option is specified with no value, then the method returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the value returned if no option is specified). If one or more option-value pairs are specified, then the method modifies the given option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the method returns an empty string. Option may be any of the configuration options. .. method:: tixCommand.tix_cget(option) Returns the current value of the configuration option given by *option*. Option may be any of the configuration options. .. method:: tixCommand.tix_getbitmap(name) Locates a bitmap file of the name ``name.xpm`` or ``name`` in one of the bitmap directories (see the :meth:`tix_addbitmapdir` method). By using :meth:`tix_getbitmap`, you can avoid hard coding the pathnames of the bitmap files in your application. When successful, it returns the complete pathname of the bitmap file, prefixed with the character ``@``. The returned value can be used to configure the ``bitmap`` option of the Tk and Tix widgets. .. method:: tixCommand.tix_addbitmapdir(directory) Tix maintains a list of directories under which the :meth:`tix_getimage` and :meth:`tix_getbitmap` methods will search for image files. The standard bitmap directory is :file:`$TIX_LIBRARY/bitmaps`. The :meth:`tix_addbitmapdir` method adds *directory* into this list. By using this method, the image files of an applications can also be located using the :meth:`tix_getimage` or :meth:`tix_getbitmap` method. .. method:: tixCommand.tix_filedialog([dlgclass]) Returns the file selection dialog that may be shared among different calls from this application. This method will create a file selection dialog widget when it is called the first time. This dialog will be returned by all subsequent calls to :meth:`tix_filedialog`. An optional dlgclass parameter can be passed as a string to specified what type of file selection dialog widget is desired. Possible options are ``tix``, ``FileSelectDialog`` or ``tixExFileSelectDialog``. .. method:: tixCommand.tix_getimage(self, name) Locates an image file of the name :file:`name.xpm`, :file:`name.xbm` or :file:`name.ppm` in one of the bitmap directories (see the :meth:`tix_addbitmapdir` method above). If more than one file with the same name (but different extensions) exist, then the image type is chosen according to the depth of the X display: xbm images are chosen on monochrome displays and color images are chosen on color displays. By using :meth:`tix_getimage`, you can avoid hard coding the pathnames of the image files in your application. When successful, this method returns the name of the newly created image, which can be used to configure the ``image`` option of the Tk and Tix widgets. .. method:: tixCommand.tix_option_get(name) Gets the options maintained by the Tix scheme mechanism. .. method:: tixCommand.tix_resetoptions(newScheme, newFontSet[, newScmPrio]) Resets the scheme and fontset of the Tix application to *newScheme* and *newFontSet*, respectively. This affects only those widgets created after this call. Therefore, it is best to call the resetoptions method before the creation of any widgets in a Tix application. The optional parameter *newScmPrio* can be given to reset the priority level of the Tk options set by the Tix schemes. Because of the way Tk handles the X option database, after Tix has been has imported and inited, it is not possible to reset the color schemes and font sets using the :meth:`tix_config` method. Instead, the :meth:`tix_resetoptions` method must be used.
