NAME

       widget - Demonstration of Perl/Tk widgets

SYNOPSYS

         widget [ directory ]

DESCRIPTION

       This script demonstrates the various widgets provided by Tk, along with many of the
       features of the Tk toolkit.  This file only contains code to generate the main window for
       the application, which invokes individual demonstrations.  The code for the actual
       demonstrations is contained in separate ".pl" files in the "widget_lib" directory, which
       are autoloaded by this script as needed.

       widget looks in the directory specified on the command line to load user contributed
       demonstrations.  If no directory name is specified when widget is invoked and the
       environment variable WIDTRIB is defined then demonstrations are loaded from the WIDTRIB
       directory. If WIDTRIB is undefined then widget defaults to the released user contributed
       directory, "widtrib".
