New Tkinter and PIL documentation (free)

[John Shipman]

At this site you will find my newly written reference document
for Tkinter:

    http://www.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/lang.html

This document is available in PostScript or PDF format and is 84
pp. long.  It is not utterly comprehensive but I have tried to
put in everything that people use in the majority of Tkinter
applications, without relying on external documents such as the
Tcl/Tk manual pages or the X programming manual.

This document includes quite a bit of information missing from
the reference section of John Grayson's ``Python and Tkinter
Programming'' book, including:

  -  The effect of every option to every widget is described
     separately without reference to a common options section.

  -  A discussion of .grid_propagate().

  -  How to make a scrollable Entry widget.

  -  An expanded table of keysyms, keycodes, and keysym_num
     values for the U.S. 101-key keyboard.

  -  More complete treatment of the X options database and
     its relation to widget pathnames.

  -  The Menu.add() method and its options.

  -  Text index modifiers.

  -  Text.image_create() and its options.

  -  Text.tag_configure() options.

  -  Text.window_create() options.

  -  The shared options used by objects on canvases, such
     as the width option for .create_line().

I would very much appreciate any suggestions for improving this
material.
