<H2>About Tix</H2>
<blockquote>
Tix, which stands for Tk Interface Extension, is an extension
library for Tcl/Tk. Tix adds many <a
href="man/html/TixCmd/TixIntro.htm"> new widgets </a>, <a
href="man/html/TixCmd/TixIntro.htm"> image types </a> and <a
href="man/html/TixCmd/TixIntro.htm"> other commands </a> that
allows you to create compelling Tcl/Tk-based GUI applications. <p>
The following sample screen shows some widgets provided by Tix,
such as such as <a href="man/html/TixCmd/tixHList.htm">Hierarchical
Listbox</a>, <a href="man/html/TixCmd/tixNoteBook.htm">NoteBook </a>
and <a href="man/html/TixCmd/tixComboBox.htm">ComboBox </a>.
For a list of all the features in Tix, as well as how to use Tix
in your applications, see the <a
href="man/index.html"> Tix Manual Index</a>. <p>
One advantage of Tix over other Tk widget libraries is many of the
Tix core widgets are implemented in native code. This enhances
performance and provides native look-and-feel for your
applications. <p>
Tix is open-source software. See <a
href="license.terms">license.terms</a> for details. <p>
