similar to: Getting width of Tk text widget via tcltk

I've been able to figure out on my own how to do what I need in the largely undocumented tcltk package, but I've finally hit a wall. I can't even think of any sufficiently specific search terms to use for this. I'm trying to make the widgets in my tk window resize when the window is resized by clicking and dragging on its corners or edges. Instead they stay exactly where they

Hello, everyone. I have the following problem with TclTk: I create some windows and want to change their position with geometry manage (sometimes they will be centered, sometimes not). If the toplevel is created and its dimensions are gathered via 'tkwinfo', I get (usually) correct values. However, if this window is created by a function (in the following example, by 'ask.format')

Hi everybody, I have a problem with the grid function in tk. I juste try to put 4 buttons like this: ------------------- | | | | | C | | A |--------| | | | ---------- D | | | | | B | | ------------------- A is 2x2 C is 1x2 B is 1x2 D is 2x2 but the code bellow dont work : require(tcltk) tt <-

Hi, I've been playing with the tcltk package. It's very nice to have access to buttons, menus etc. now. Thank you! Alas, I also have questions: In Tcl everything is a string [*]. This is not the case in R, of course. So why are return values of tk commands still strings? (Is there any other reason than speed or "package is work in progress"?) Example: > tt <-

Dear list members, Rich Heiberger reported to me last week that the Messages window in the Rcmdr GUI was freezing -- that is, messages posted to this window didn't appear -- under Windows and R 2.8.0. I was able to confirm this problem on three Windows systems, one using Vista and the other two XP. In each case, I used R 2.8.0 and Rcmdr 1.4-4 (the current version). The problem doesn't

Hi all, Roger Peng and Jason Turner's suggestion with ImageMagick seem to be the simplest "dirty" way to get the problem solved. But I ran into yet another interesting but quite round-about way to solve the problem (partially). Through tcltk package, one can read in the gif image with > x <- tkcmd("image", "create", "photo", file=mypic.gif)

Hello, I use package "tcltk" to do some GUI programming, and want to find a function which can do the operation "click a button", just like using a mouse to click. If tkevent.generate can do that? I tried it as below, but failed. Please give me a hint! tt <- tktoplevel() tkwm.title(tt,"Simple Dialog") onOK <- function(){print("OK")} onCancel <-

I searched the web and the list archives for a solution to this, but didn't see anything, so here goes. I'm new to tcltk. I'm trying to change the contents of a tkentry widget when a button is pressed. Once I get that working, the widget will be read only to the user. Here is some toy code: ############### require(tcltk) thisEnv=environment() tt<-tktoplevel() Name <-

In Windows, Tcl/Tk programs running under the tcltk package can update too frequently: for exmaple, we might go through a long sequence of operations to construct a complex display, and in Windows each addition will be shown separately. To work around this, I've added a function "tclServiceMode" which serves as an R interface to the "Tcl_SetServiceMode" function in the

1. I want to change the mouse cursor over my window into a wait/watch icon while R computes. Can this be done directly? Some ancient tcltk mailing lists said change the cursor over every widget in the window: foreach widget [winfo children $window] { $widget config -cursor watch } To do this I'll need a list of

Hello, I'm using R 2.0.0 with the latest Rcmdr package installed from CRAN, on Windows XP Professional. When trying to copy some commands or results, either from the upper or lower text window, this causes Rcmdr to crash: "R for Windows GUI front-end has encountered a problem and needs to close" Did anyone have the same problem? I don't think it's my system, as it

Hello everyone, this is my first post here and I hope I signed up correctly and someone will take me by the hand and help me out. I am new to R and cannot figure out what to do here... ... I want to have an User Interface that requests input. I want to save this input to a variable to use it later on. I was able to do this with a modalDiaglog (

Hi there, a text Window is supposed to map the shortcuts for copying and pasting (<Ctrl-C>, <Ctrl-V>) automatically. I'm working under Mac OS X and my text window doesn't really map these functions automatically - it works fine under Windows. Is there an easy way to map copy&paste functions to a text window under Mac OS X? This is what I'm doing with my text

Hello, I'm very new in working with tcl/tk in R and have a problem which will probably sound silly to most of you. Here is the code I have problems with: readcelfiles <- function() { require(tcltk) tt <- tktoplevel() tkgrid(tklabel(tt,text="Choose a directory!")) OnOK <- function() { fileDir<-tclvalue(tkchooseDirectory()) data.raw <-

Friends: I am a long-time R user, learning tcl/tk, and am tying myself in knots over something that should be simple. I want to create a frame and put that frame inside the toplevel frame. This works (i.e. it places text in col 1, and the corresponding entry box in column 2) and later frame.2 resides where it should in the toplevel frame. tkgrid(tklabel(frame.2, text="FACTOR column

Hello companions!!! I have a function that creates a Radio Buttons, and I need that this function return the selected value in the Radio Buttons. I would like that, if somebody know as I could return the value, you say me as do it. Next, I show the function function1<-function(){ require(tcltk) tt <- tktoplevel() rb1 <- tkradiobutton(tt) rb2 <- tkradiobutton(tt) rbValue <-

Hi I am trying to insert a jpeg into a widget I have created. I have used this link http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/~wettenhall/RTclTkExamples/showImage.html to display a jpeg inside a newly created widget but would like some info on how to insert into a pre existing widget. This is my code below for my first widget. tt<-tktoplevel() fontHeading2 <-

Dear Rodrigo, Try tkwm.geometry(win1, "-0+0"), which should position win1 at the top right.

Hi thank you for talking the time to help me with this. I have a sequence of numbers in a file and an equal sequence of various character, say(a b c d) each occurs more than once. I need to plot the numbers so that numbers corresponding to a in the other sequence would have green dots, those corresponding to b a red dot, nothing on c and blue square for d. i.e 2 a show a green dot 4 b show a
