DESCRIPTION


This provides lots of useful control over a console:



  

  
Attaches tkcon to the named interpreter. The name must be that returned by
      [tk appname] or a valid path to a slave interpreter. It's
      best to use this via the Console->Attach Console menu.

  

  
Sets or queries the allowed size of the console text widget in lines. The
      text widget will automatically delete leading lines once this number has
      been exceeded (read: this is the scroll buffer size).

  

  
Does bgerror stuff in the tkcon master interpreter.

  

  
Destroys this tkcon widget.

  

  
Behaves like the traditional Tcl gets, but instead of using stdin, it uses
      the tkcon console window. By default, tkcon replaces the standard gets
      with this command. This behavior can be controlled by altering the
      ::tkcon::OPT(gets) parameter at startup. This should not be called
      directly - instead rely on the overloaded gets, which has support for the
      optional varName parameter.

  

  
Passes the args to the tkcon text widget (the console).

  

  
Pops up a dialog that gives the user a full trace of the last error
      received in the tkcon console.

  

  
Highlights all instances of string in the console. If the string is empty,
      it clears any previous highlighting.

  

  
Sets or returns the font used by tkcon text widgets.

  

  
Behaves like the traditional Tcl gets, but instead of needing stdin, it
      pops a dialog box up for the user. The overloaded gets has support for the
      optional varName parameter.

  

  
A variation of the congets method that requires a full command to be input
      before returning.

  

  
Withdraw the tkcon display from the screen (make sure you have a way to
      get it back).

  

  
Displays the tkcon history in sourceable form. If -newline is
      specified, it separates each command by an extra newline.

  

  
Iconifies the tkcon display.

  

  
Sets or displays the number that specifies the limit of long result lines.
      True result is still captured in $_ (and 'puts $_' works).

  

  
Sources named file into the slave interpreter. If no filename is given, it
      will attempt to call tk_getOpenFile to pop up the file select
    box.

  

  
Passes the args to the main tkcon interpreter to be evaluated and returns
      the result.

  

  
Passes the args to the master interpreter to be evaluated and returns the
      result.

  

  
Creates a new tkcon widget.

  

  
Specify a command to process the results before outputting it to the
      console window. The command receives one argument (the result string) and
      the string returned is placed in the console.

  

  
Saves the console buffer to the given filename. If no filename is given,
      it will attempt to call tk_getSaveFile to pop up the file select
      box. If no type is given, a dialog will ask you to specify what portion of
      the text you want to save.

  

  
Queries or sets a master interpreter variable.

  

  
Like set, but uses append on the variable.

  

  
Like set, but uses lappend on the variable.

  

  
Redisplays tkcon on the screen.

  

  
If called with no args, it returns the name of all the tkcon interpreters.
      Otherwise given an interp name it passes the args to the named interpreter
      to be evaluated and returns the result. If no args are passed, then it
      returns the [tk appname] of that interpreter.

  

  
Sets or returns the title for tkcon.

  

  
Returns of version of tkcon.
