This file contains a list of bugs to fix and minor feature changes
|
|
needed in the Tk toolkit. The list is ordered by the time when the
|
|
idea for the change first arose; no priority should be inferred from
|
|
the order.

sccsid = SCCS: @(#) ToDo 1.8 96/02/16 10:55:14
|
|
|
|
106. Add feature to buttons for automatic defaulting, where button
|
|
allocates extra space for default ring.
|
|
|
|
136. Implement mechanism for using existing window as main window for
|
|
application, support with command-line argument in wish.
|
|
|
|
139. Change canvas Postscript generation to be smarter about font names
|
|
that have been abbreviated: use X to look up the full name.
|
|
|
|
147. Add "window" entry to menus.
|
|
|
|
148. Add an "initProc" and a "freeProc" to TK_CONFIG_CUSTOM config types.
|
|
|
|
150. In SYNONYM options, specify a command-line switch for the other
|
|
option, not a database name.
|
|
|
|
153. Some fonts (e.g. Times) have underline characters that extend
|
|
*below* the official descent of the font. Right now the underline
|
|
is invisible for these fonts in text widgets. Find a way to make
|
|
this work in text?
|
|
|
|
150. Change the bindings for menubuttons to watch mouse motion events
|
|
and map them to menu or menubutton windows "by hand", so as to eliminate
|
|
the need for a menu to be a descendant of the menubutton.
|
|
|
|
151. Create an I/O event handler so that Tk can continue after a server
|
|
connection is lost.
|
|
|
|
153. Allow Tk applications to be embedded inside other Tk applications:
|
|
- Allow the window for a widget to be specified explicitly, rather
|
|
than being created automatically by Tk. This would allow the
|
|
main window for one application to use an internal window that
|
|
already exists in another application.
|
|
- Modify wish's main.c to allow a window id for the main window to
|
|
be specified as a command-line argument.
|
|
- Build a special widget for embedding other applications, which will
|
|
implement the window-manager side of the ICCCM protocols, e.g.,
|
|
feeding requested size information up from the embedded application
|
|
into the enclosing widget hierarchy.
|
|
|
|
154. Improvements to canvases:
|
|
- Allow items to be rotated?
|
|
- Allow polygons to be outlined.
|
|
- Make "raise" of window items work correctly.
|
|
- In the "find" widget option, make it possible to restrict search
|
|
to a particular tag.
|
|
- Allow items to become visible/invisible.
|
|
|
|
156. Add a "wm anchor" option to make it easier to center windows.
|
|
|
|
157. Various improvements to option database:
|
|
- Allow patterns to be read from database or deleted from database.
|
|
- Allow database to be cleared without automatically reloading from
|
|
.Xdefaults files.
|
|
- Allow additional info to be read from various window properties.
|
|
- Support new wildcards from X11R5.
|
|
- Allow mechanism to extend to cover cases where there isn't even
|
|
a window, or even an application by the name used in the option
|
|
get command.
|
|
- Allow options in database to override those specified on Tcl
|
|
command lines?
|
|
- Revert to X conflict-resolution scheme?
|
|
|
|
158. Make it possible for wish to run without a display.
|
|
|
|
159. Change option tables to be arrays of pointers, rather than arrays of
|
|
entries? Makes it easier to keep separate named structures for particular
|
|
options, e.g. so that you can tell when an option has changed.
|
|
|
|
160. Change text scrolling so that the top of the window can fall in
|
|
the middle of a text line.
|
|
|
|
161. Allow text tabs to be specified in units of characters, rather
|
|
than just inches.
|
|
|
|
162. Fix tk_strictMotif to make it easier to turn on and off (e.g.
|
|
conditionalize the binding scripts, rather than the creation of
|
|
the bindings).
|
|
|
|
163. Change text bindings so that Enter and Leave events occur when
|
|
the mouse moves between disjoint ranges with the same tag.
|
|
|
|
164. Provide block insertion cursor in text widgets.
