.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBTixwish\fR is a simple program consisting of the Tcl command
|
|
language, the Tk toolkit, and a main program that reads commands from
|
|
standard input or from a file. It creates a main window and then
|
|
processes Tcl commands.
|
|
'\"
|
|
If \fBtixwish\fR is invoked with no arguments, or with a first
|
|
argument that starts with ``\-'', then it reads Tcl commands
|
|
interactively from standard input.
|
|
'\"
|
|
It will continue processing commands until all windows have been
|
|
deleted or until end-of-file is reached on standard input. If there
|
|
exists a file \fB.tixwishrc\fR in the home directory of the user,
|
|
\fBtixwish\fR evaluates the file as a Tcl script just before reading
|
|
the first command from standard input.
|
|
'\"
|
|
.PP
|
|
'\"
|
|
If \fBtixwish\fR is invoked with an initial \fIfileName\fR argument,
|
|
then \fIfileName\fR is treated as the name of a script file.
|
|
\fBTixwish\fR will evaluate the script in \fIfileName\fR (which
|
|
presumably creates a user interface), then it will respond to events
|
|
until all windows have been deleted. Commands will not be read from
|
|
standard input. There is no automatic evaluation of \fB.tixwishrc\fR
|
|
in this case, but the script file can always \fBsource\fR it if
|
|
desired.
|
|
|
|
.SH "OPTIONS"
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBTixwish\fR automatically processes all of the command-line options
|
|
described in the \fBOPTIONS\fR summary above. Any other command-line
|
|
arguments besides these are passed through to the application using
|
|
the \fBargc\fR and \fBargv\fR variables described later.
|
|
|
|
.SH "APPLICATION NAME AND CLASS"
|
|
.PP
|
|
.VS
|
|
The name of the application, which is used for purposes such as
|
|
\fBsend\fR commands, is taken from the \fB\-name\fR option,
|
|
if it is specified; otherwise it is taken from \fIfileName\fR,
|
|
if it is specified, or from the command name by which
|
|
\fBtixwish\fR was invoked. In the last two cases, if the name contains a ``/''
|
|
character, then only the characters after the last slash are used
|
|
as the application name.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The class of the application, which is used for purposes such as
|
|
specifying options with a \fBRESOURCE_MANAGER\fR property or .Xdefaults
|
|
file, is the same as its name except that the first letter is
|
|
capitalized.
|
|
.VE
|
|
|
|
.SH "VARIABLES"
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBTixwish\fR sets the following Tcl variables:
|
|
.TP 15
|
|
\fBargc\fR
|
|
Contains a count of the number of \fIarg\fR arguments (0 if none),
|
|
not including the options described above.
|
|
.TP 15
|
|
\fBargv\fR
|
|
Contains a Tcl list whose elements are the \fIarg\fR arguments (not
|
|
including the options described above), in order, or an empty string
|
|
if there are no \fIarg\fR arguments.
|
|
.TP 15
|
|
\fBargv0\fR
|
|
Contains \fIfileName\fR if it was specified.
|
|
Otherwise, contains the name by which \fBtixwish\fR was invoked.
|
|
.TP 15
|
|
\fBgeometry\fR
|
|
If the \fB\-geometry\fR option is specified, \fBtixwish\fR copies its
|
|
value into this variable. If the variable still exists after
|
|
\fIfileName\fR has been evaluated, \fBtixwish\fR uses the value of
|
|
the variable in a \fBwm geometry\fR command to set the main
|
|
window's geometry.
|
|
.TP 15
|
|
\fBtcl_interactive\fR
|
|
'\"
|
|
Contains 1 if \fBtixwish\fR is reading commands interactively
|
|
(\fBfileName\fR was not specified and standard input is a
|
|
terminal-like device), 0 otherwise.
|
|
'\"
|
|
.SH "X RESOURCES"
|
|
'\"
|
|
\fBTixwish\fR makes use of several X Resources to determine the
|
|
\fBToolkit Options\fR for the Tix library. These X resources must be
|
|
set using \fBRESOURCE_MANAGER\fR properties or .Xdefaults files
|
|
\fBbefore\fR \fBtixwish\fR starts running. These resources must be
|
|
associated with the main window of the \fBtixwish\fR application.
|
|
These options include:
|
|
'\"
|
|
'\"----------BEGIN
|
|
.LP
|
|
.nf
|
|
Name: \fBtixScheme\fR
|
|
Class: \fBTixScheme\fR
|
|
.fi
|
|
.IP
|
|
Specifies the color scheme to use for the Tix application. Currently
|
|
only these schemes are supported: Blue, Gray, SGIGray, TixGray, and
|
|
TK.
|
|
'\"----------END
|
|
'\"
|
|
'\"----------BEGIN
|
|
.LP
|
|
.nf
|
|
Name: \fBtixFontSet\fR
|
|
Class: \fBTixFontSet\fR
|
|
.fi
|
|
.IP
|
|
Specifies the FontSet to use for the Tix application. A FontSet
|
|
designates the fonts to use for different types of widgets. Currently
|
|
only these FontSets are supported: 12Point, 14Point and TK.
|
|
'\"----------END
|
|
.PP
|
|
For example, you may put these two lines in your .Xdefaults file
|
|
.nf
|
|
*tixwish.tixScheme: Gray
|
|
*tixwish.tixFontSet: 12Point
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH "SCRIPT FILES"
|
|
.PP
|
|
If you create a Tcl script in a file whose first line is
|
|
.RS
|
|
.CS
|
|
\fB#!/usr/local/bin/tixwish\fR
|
|
.CE
|
|
.RE
|
|
then you can invoke the script file directly from your shell if you
|
|
mark it as executable. This assumes that \fBtixwish\fR has been
|
|
installed in the default location in /usr/local/bin; if it's installed
|
|
somewhere else then you'll have to modify the above line to match.
|
|
Many UNIX systems do not allow the \fB#!\fR line to exceed about 30
|
|
characters in length, so be sure that the \fBtixwish\fR executable can be
|
|
accessed with a short file name.
|
|
|
|
.SH PROMPTS
|
|
.PP
|
|
When \fBtixwish\fR is invoked interactively it normally prompts for each
|
|
command with ``\fB% \fR''. You can change the prompt by setting the
|
|
variables \fBtcl_prompt1\fR and \fBtcl_prompt2\fR. If variable
|
|
\fBtcl_prompt1\fR exists then it must consist of a Tcl script to
|
|
output a prompt; instead of outputting a prompt \fBtixwish\fR will
|
|
evaluate the script in \fBtcl_prompt1\fR. The variable
|
|
\fBtcl_prompt2\fR is used in a similar way when a newline is typed but
|
|
the current command isn't yet complete; if \fBtcl_prompt2\fR isn't set
|
|
then no prompt is output for incomplete commands.
