-:mod:`tkinter.tix` --- Extension widgets for Tk
-===============================================
-
-.. module:: tkinter.tix
-   :synopsis: Tk Extension Widgets for Tkinter
-
-.. sectionauthor:: Mike Clarkson <mikeclarkson at users.sourceforge.net>
-
-**Source code:** :source:`Lib/tkinter/tix.py`
-
-.. index:: single: Tix
-
-.. deprecated:: 3.6
-   This Tk extension is unmaintained and should not be used in new code.  Use
-   :mod:`tkinter.ttk` instead.
-
---------------
-
-The :mod:`tkinter.tix` (Tk Interface Extension) module provides an additional
-rich set of widgets. Although the standard Tk library has many useful widgets,
-they are far from complete. The :mod:`tkinter.tix` library provides most of the
-commonly needed widgets that are missing from standard Tk: :class:`HList`,
-:class:`ComboBox`, :class:`Control` (a.k.a. SpinBox) and an assortment of
-scrollable widgets.
-:mod:`tkinter.tix` also includes many more widgets that are generally useful in
-a wide range of applications: :class:`NoteBook`, :class:`FileEntry`,
-:class:`PanedWindow`, etc; there are more than 40 of them.
-
-With all these new widgets, you can introduce new interaction techniques into
-applications, creating more useful and more intuitive user interfaces. You can
-design your application by choosing the most appropriate widgets to match the
-special needs of your application and users.
-
-.. seealso::
-
-   `Tix Homepage <https://tix.sourceforge.net/>`_
-      The home page for :mod:`Tix`.  This includes links to additional documentation
-      and downloads.
-
-   `Tix Man Pages <https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/man/>`_
-      On-line version of the man pages and reference material.
-
-   `Tix Programming Guide <https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/docs/tix-book/tix.book.html>`_
-      On-line version of the programmer's reference material.
-
-   `Tix Development Applications <https://tix.sourceforge.net/Tixapps/src/Tide.html>`_
-      Tix applications for development of Tix and Tkinter programs. Tide applications
-      work under Tk or Tkinter, and include :program:`TixInspect`, an inspector to
-      remotely modify and debug Tix/Tk/Tkinter applications.
-
-
-Using Tix
----------
-
-
-.. class:: Tk(screenName=None, baseName=None, className='Tix')
-
-   Toplevel widget of Tix which represents mostly the main window of an
-   application. It has an associated Tcl interpreter.
-
-   Classes in the :mod:`tkinter.tix` module subclasses the classes in the
-   :mod:`tkinter`. The former imports the latter, so to use :mod:`tkinter.tix`
-   with Tkinter, all you need to do is to import one module. In general, you
-   can just import :mod:`tkinter.tix`, and replace the toplevel call to
-   :class:`tkinter.Tk` with :class:`tix.Tk`::
-
-      from tkinter import tix
-      from tkinter.constants import *
-      root = tix.Tk()
-
-To use :mod:`tkinter.tix`, you must have the Tix widgets installed, usually
-alongside your installation of the Tk widgets. To test your installation, try
-the following::
-
-   from tkinter import tix
-   root = tix.Tk()
-   root.tk.eval('package require Tix')
-
-
-Tix Widgets
------------
-
-`Tix <https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/man/html/TixCmd/TixIntro.htm>`_
-introduces over 40 widget classes to the :mod:`tkinter` repertoire.
-
-
-Basic Widgets
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-
-.. class:: Balloon()
-
-   A `Balloon
-   <https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/man/html/TixCmd/tixBalloon.htm>`_ that
-   pops up over a widget to provide help.  When the user moves the cursor inside a
-   widget to which a Balloon widget has been bound, a small pop-up window with a
-   descriptive message will be shown on the screen.
-
-.. Python Demo of:
-.. \ulink{Balloon}{https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/demos/samples/Balloon.tcl}
-
-
-.. class:: ButtonBox()
-
-   The `ButtonBox
-   <https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/man/html/TixCmd/tixButtonBox.htm>`_
-   widget creates a box of buttons, such as is commonly used for ``Ok Cancel``.
-
-.. Python Demo of:
-.. \ulink{ButtonBox}{https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/demos/samples/BtnBox.tcl}
-
-
-.. class:: ComboBox()
-
-   The `ComboBox
-   <https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/man/html/TixCmd/tixComboBox.htm>`_
-   widget is similar to the combo box control in MS Windows. The user can select a
-   choice by either typing in the entry subwidget or selecting from the listbox
-   subwidget.
-
-.. Python Demo of:
-.. \ulink{ComboBox}{https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/demos/samples/ComboBox.tcl}
-
-
-.. class:: Control()
-
-   The `Control
-   <https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/man/html/TixCmd/tixControl.htm>`_
-   widget is also known as the :class:`SpinBox` widget. The user can adjust the
-   value by pressing the two arrow buttons or by entering the value directly into
-   the entry. The new value will be checked against the user-defined upper and
-   lower limits.
-
-.. Python Demo of:
-.. \ulink{Control}{https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/demos/samples/Control.tcl}
-
-
-.. class:: LabelEntry()
-
-   The `LabelEntry
-   <https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/man/html/TixCmd/tixLabelEntry.htm>`_
-   widget packages an entry widget and a label into one mega widget. It can
-   be used to simplify the creation of "entry-form" type of interface.
-
-.. Python Demo of:
-.. \ulink{LabelEntry}{https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/demos/samples/LabEntry.tcl}
-
-
-.. class:: LabelFrame()
-
-   The `LabelFrame
-   <https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/man/html/TixCmd/tixLabelFrame.htm>`_
-   widget packages a frame widget and a label into one mega widget.  To create
-   widgets inside a LabelFrame widget, one creates the new widgets relative to the
-   :attr:`frame` subwidget and manage them inside the :attr:`frame` subwidget.
-
-.. Python Demo of:
-.. \ulink{LabelFrame}{https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/demos/samples/LabFrame.tcl}
-
-
-.. class:: Meter()
-
-   The `Meter
-   <https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/man/html/TixCmd/tixMeter.htm>`_ widget

-
-
-.. class:: PopupMenu()
-
-   The `PopupMenu
-   <https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/man/html/TixCmd/tixPopupMenu.htm>`_
-   widget can be used as a replacement of the ``tk_popup`` command. The advantage
-   of the :mod:`Tix` :class:`PopupMenu` widget is it requires less application code
-   to manipulate.
-
-.. Python Demo of:
-.. \ulink{PopupMenu}{https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/demos/samples/PopMenu.tcl}
-
-
-.. class:: Select()
-
-   The `Select
-   <https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/man/html/TixCmd/tixSelect.htm>`_ widget
-   is a container of button subwidgets. It can be used to provide radio-box or
-   check-box style of selection options for the user.

-
-
-.. class:: DirSelectBox()
-
-   The :class:`DirSelectBox` is similar to the standard Motif(TM)
-   directory-selection box. It is generally used for the user to choose a
-   directory.  DirSelectBox stores the directories mostly recently selected into
-   a ComboBox widget so that they can be quickly selected again.
-
-
-.. class:: ExFileSelectBox()
-
-   The `ExFileSelectBox
-   <https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/man/html/TixCmd/tixExFileSelectBox.htm>`_
-   widget is usually embedded in a tixExFileSelectDialog widget. It provides a
-   convenient method for the user to select files. The style of the
-   :class:`ExFileSelectBox` widget is very similar to the standard file dialog on
-   MS Windows 3.1.
-
-.. Python Demo of:

-
-.. class:: HList()
-
-   The `HList
-   <https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/man/html/TixCmd/tixHList.htm>`_ widget
-   can be used to display any data that have a hierarchical structure, for example,
-   file system directory trees. The list entries are indented and connected by
-   branch lines according to their places in the hierarchy.
-
-.. Python Demo of:
-.. \ulink{HList}{https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/demos/samples/HList1.tcl}

-^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The :mod:`tkinter.tix` module adds:
-
-* `pixmap <https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/man/html/TixCmd/pixmap.htm>`_
-  capabilities to all :mod:`tkinter.tix` and :mod:`tkinter` widgets to create
-  color images from XPM files.

-
-* `Compound
-  <https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/man/html/TixCmd/compound.htm>`_ image
-  types can be used to create images that consists of multiple horizontal lines;
-  each line is composed of a series of items (texts, bitmaps, images or spaces)
-  arranged from left to right. For example, a compound image can be used to
-  display a bitmap and a text string simultaneously in a Tk :class:`Button`
-  widget.

-
-Miscellaneous Widgets
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-
-.. class:: InputOnly()
-
-   The `InputOnly
-   <https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/man/html/TixCmd/tixInputOnly.htm>`_
-   widgets are to accept inputs from the user, which can be done with the ``bind``
-   command (Unix only).
-
-
-Form Geometry Manager
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-In addition, :mod:`tkinter.tix` augments :mod:`tkinter` by providing:
-
-
-.. class:: Form()
-
-   The `Form
-   <https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/man/html/TixCmd/tixForm.htm>`_ geometry
-   manager based on attachment rules for all Tk widgets.
-
-
-Tix Commands
-------------
-
-
-.. class:: tixCommand()
-
-   The `tix commands
-   <https://tix.sourceforge.net/dist/current/man/html/TixCmd/tix.htm>`_ provide
-   access to miscellaneous elements of :mod:`Tix`'s internal state and the
-   :mod:`Tix` application context.  Most of the information manipulated by these
-   methods pertains to the application as a whole, or to a screen or display,
-   rather than to a particular window.
-
-   To view the current settings, the common usage is::

-
-
-.. method:: tixCommand.tix_configure(cnf=None, **kw)
-
-   Query or modify the configuration options of the Tix application context. If no
-   option is specified, returns a dictionary all of the available options.  If
-   option is specified with no value, then the method returns a list describing the
-   one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of
-   the value returned if no option is specified).  If one or more option-value
-   pairs are specified, then the method modifies the given option(s) to have the
-   given value(s); in this case the method returns an empty string. Option may be
-   any of the configuration options.
-
-
-.. method:: tixCommand.tix_cget(option)
-
-   Returns the current value of the configuration option given by *option*. Option
-   may be any of the configuration options.
-
-
-.. method:: tixCommand.tix_getbitmap(name)
-
-   Locates a bitmap file of the name ``name.xpm`` or ``name`` in one of the bitmap
-   directories (see the :meth:`tix_addbitmapdir` method).  By using
-   :meth:`tix_getbitmap`, you can avoid hard coding the pathnames of the bitmap
-   files in your application. When successful, it returns the complete pathname of
-   the bitmap file, prefixed with the character ``@``.  The returned value can be
-   used to configure the ``bitmap`` option of the Tk and Tix widgets.
-
-
-.. method:: tixCommand.tix_addbitmapdir(directory)
-
-   Tix maintains a list of directories under which the :meth:`tix_getimage` and
-   :meth:`tix_getbitmap` methods will search for image files.  The standard bitmap
-   directory is :file:`$TIX_LIBRARY/bitmaps`. The :meth:`tix_addbitmapdir` method
-   adds *directory* into this list. By using this method, the image files of an
-   applications can also be located using the :meth:`tix_getimage` or
-   :meth:`tix_getbitmap` method.
-
-
-.. method:: tixCommand.tix_filedialog([dlgclass])
-
-   Returns the file selection dialog that may be shared among different calls from
-   this application.  This method will create a file selection dialog widget when
-   it is called the first time. This dialog will be returned by all subsequent
-   calls to :meth:`tix_filedialog`.  An optional dlgclass parameter can be passed
-   as a string to specified what type of file selection dialog widget is desired.
-   Possible options are ``tix``, ``FileSelectDialog`` or ``tixExFileSelectDialog``.
-
-
-.. method:: tixCommand.tix_getimage(self, name)
-
-   Locates an image file of the name :file:`name.xpm`, :file:`name.xbm` or
-   :file:`name.ppm` in one of the bitmap directories (see the
-   :meth:`tix_addbitmapdir` method above). If more than one file with the same name
-   (but different extensions) exist, then the image type is chosen according to the
-   depth of the X display: xbm images are chosen on monochrome displays and color
-   images are chosen on color displays. By using :meth:`tix_getimage`, you can
-   avoid hard coding the pathnames of the image files in your application. When
-   successful, this method returns the name of the newly created image, which can
-   be used to configure the ``image`` option of the Tk and Tix widgets.
-
-
-.. method:: tixCommand.tix_option_get(name)
-
-   Gets the options maintained by the Tix scheme mechanism.
-
-
-.. method:: tixCommand.tix_resetoptions(newScheme, newFontSet[, newScmPrio])
-
-   Resets the scheme and fontset of the Tix application to *newScheme* and
-   *newFontSet*, respectively.  This affects only those widgets created after this
-   call.  Therefore, it is best to call the resetoptions method before the creation
-   of any widgets in a Tix application.
-
-   The optional parameter *newScmPrio* can be given to reset the priority level of
-   the Tk options set by the Tix schemes.
-
-   Because of the way Tk handles the X option database, after Tix has been has
-   imported and inited, it is not possible to reset the color schemes and font sets
-   using the :meth:`tix_config` method. Instead, the :meth:`tix_resetoptions`
-   method must be used.
