The Tycho Slate
Tycho's Slate class extends the Tk canvas with facilities for
creating complex items, and for re-using common patterns of user
interaction. There are two key uses of the Slate:
- As a higher-level canvas for building graphical displays
and editors. The Slate is used this way within the Graphics class
and subclasses.
- As a toolbox for rapidly building custom widgets. The Slate is
used this way to create some of the custom widgets used in
Ptolemy C-code-generated systems.
The first of the following sections is an interactive tutorial
on the Slate -- you need to be running Tycho to execute the embedded Tcl
code. Following sections are reference material, and supplement the
automatically-generated documentation.
