Are there Tkinter examples somewhere?

[Richard Chamberlain]

Hi Terry,

from Tkinter import *
root=Tk()
def iMove(pos):
    print pos
myScale=Scale(root,orient=VERTICAL,length=200,from_=0,to=250,tickinterval=25
,command=iMove)
myScale.pack()
root.mainloop()

If you just pass the command option a function name it will pass a single
value which is the current value of the Scale.

If you going to be doing some serious work with Tkinter then have a look at
John Grayson's book Python and Tkinter programming.

Richard
