- Hi,
-
- I have just uploaded TkPixmap 1.1 to:
- barkley.berkeley.edu and
- coma.cs.tu-berlin.de
- it should be available soon (right now it is in ./incoming :-).
-
- This package contains a patch for tk 2.3, that makes it possible to
- use color pixmaps as button labels (labels, button, checkbutton,
- menubutton and radiobutton), and as canvas items (tag type bitmap).
-
- Here some parts of the README:
-
- this is the README for TkPixmap. This patch allows you to
- use standard (monochrome) bitmaps AND (color) pixmaps in the
- Xpm 3 format.
-
- You can use the color pixmaps in buttons, menus and everywhere
- where the -bitmap option is used. The changes to Tk 2.3 are on
- a very low level, so that every program (widget) that uses the
- standard Tk routines to handle the -bitmap resource can now use
- bitmaps AND pixmaps. On the other hand the changes are
- relatively small, and should not affect your daily work with Tk.
- I make no guarantee that this patch works, but it works for me,
- so it should work for you :-).
-
- Requirements:
- -------------
- - the Tk/Tcl package version 2.3.
-
- - the Xpm 3.0b package from GROUPE BULL
- (BULL Research FRANCE -- Koala Project).
- The library is available at:
- avahi.inria.fr (138.96.24.30), or
- export.lcs.mit.edu
-
- Availability:
- -------------
- TkPixmap is available via anonymous ftp at:
- coma.cs.tu-berlin.de: pub/tcl/TkPixmap1.1.tar.Z or
- pub/tcl/TkPixmap.tar.Z (always the last release)
- barkley.berkeley.edu: tcl/code/TkPixmap1.1.tar.Z
