Some Pure Tk Widgets
This page contains pointers to several new Tcl/Tk widgets
that are written as pure Tcl/Tk code -- no C modules are
required. Pure Tcl/Tk widgets can be run from an unmodified
version of "wish", are completely platform independent, and
can be run in the Tcl plugin.
The widgets currently available are listed below:
New widgets will be added to this set from time to time,
so check back again for the very latest.

Unifix has made available an entire library of pure Tcl/Tk widgets
call "BWidgets".
There are some stability problems in release 1.0, but overall
this widget set shows a great deal of promise. Keep a close
eye on BWidgets and consider using them rather than the widgets
I have provided above. The url is

Daniel Rochel has some pure Tcl/Tk
widgets on his website.
There is a
directory chooser (similar to the standard tk_getOpenFile procedure,
but locates directories instead of files.) There is also a nice
balloon help widget and an alternative implementation of
an
notebook widget.
