-gui.tcl has gone through a few major changes
-
-
-Migrating from version 1 to version 2:
-
-If you overloaded any of the following you will need to make changes. See their descriptions below.
-
-add_buttons
-module_description
-
-Also if you overloaded begin_dialog or end_dialog (which may have been necessary but messy) you should now refactor your code.
-
-
-Fonts:
-
-Fonts are currently unmanaged, using TCL defaults. Fonts listed here will change the appearance of the created dialog.
-
-balloon-help
-Font to be displayed for balloon help
-
-
-Globals:
-
-dlg
-This is the key to refer to a created dialog. It starts at 0. When begin_dialog is called this goes up by one, become the key for the created dialog.  A program using gui.tcl needs to get this value for a created dialog in order to refer to it again in the future. In version 2 begin_dialog returns the new value of dlg for convenience. 
-
-path
-This specifies the tk object path in which the dialog will be created. Before version 2 this was always the path to a toplevel, such as {} when run from G_gui() or something like .moduleX when running from d.m or gis.m. This must be set before calling begin_dialog.
-
-imagepath
-Version 1 only, the folder to find bwidgets 1.2.1 images in. $env(GISBASE)/bwidget/images/
-
-iconpath
-Introduced in version 2, the path to search for icons. $env(GISBASE)/etc/gui/icons/
-
-opt
-An associative array used for dialogs to store their attributes, options, current answers, etc. Starts off unset.
-
-opt parts:
-$dlg,layout_*	Reserved for use fo the layout system (V2)
-
-
-
-Procedures:
-
-Miscellaneous:
-
-icon {class member}
-Searches icons for an icon, returns either a photo command or 0 on failure. See gui/icons/README for more information
-
-handle_scroll
-Callback that makes mouse wheel scrolling work for frames
-
-
-Command and selection dialog:
-
-mkcmd
-Makes the argv style list command from the current options.
-
-mkcmd_string
-Late version 1 and version 2: Makes a string verion of the current command.
-
-show_cmd
-Late version 1 and version 2: Updates the current command label
-
-prnout
-Version 1, early version 2: File callback that prints output to the text widget in opt($dlg,outtext). Could be overloaded to capture command output, probably a better idea not to. Removed now, this is handled by the gronsole made in make_output.
-
-get_file
-Opens a file selection dialog
-
-get_map
-Opens a database element selection dialog using $env(GISBASE)/etc/gtcltk/select.tcl
-
-run_cmd
-Runs the current command. Could be overloaded to get the event from clicking the run button. It's probably a better idea to overload add_buttons in version 1 or make_dialog_end or make_buttons in version 2 and later
-
-help_cmd, close_cmd, clear_cmd
-Could be overloaded to get the events from clicking the help, clear, and close buttons. See note above about run_cmd.
-
-progress {dlg percent}
-Used to set the filledness of the progress bar. -1 empties it.
-
-
-Layout rules:
-All of these exist only in version 2.
-
-Layout rules are prime candidates for overloading, and can drastically change the appearance of the dialog.
-
-layout_* Reserved for layout rules.
-layout_make_frame is part of the default strategy, not the interface
-
-layout_get_frame {dlg guisection optn}
-Must return text for a frame that option widgets can be packed into
-
-layout_get_special_frame {dlg guisection optn}
-Must return text for a frame that some special widget can be packed into. Used for, for example, output.
-
-layout_raise_frame {dlg guisection optn}
-The named option or guisection should be displayed on the screen
-
-layout_raise_special_frame {dlg guisection optn}
-The named option or guisection should be displayed on the screen
-
-make_layout {dlg path root}
-The default make_dialog calls this to make the layout. A layout should overload it.
-
-
-Stuff that makes the gui:
-
-All of make_* are good candidated for overloading. Appearance and behaviour can be greatly changed just by overloading make_dialog and make_dialog_end
-
-make_module_description:
-Version 2 only, should make a description of the module. It could be overloaded to turn off the description or to provide a different one. Overloading make_dialog could also turn offf the description. Related to module_description (version 1 only).
-
-make_command_label:
-Version 2 only, makes a little command label withtextvar opt($dlg,cmd_string). See also show_cmd. Packs against the bottom side.
-
-make_output:
-Version 2 only, Makes a text box for displaying output. Required for make_buttons unless run_cmd is overloaded, since they contain a run button.
-
-make_progress:
-Version 2 only, makes a progress bar, see also progress. No longer used as progress is displayed by the gronsole.
-
-make_buttons:
-Version 2 only, adds buttons to the dialog. Replaces version 1's add_buttons. Packs against the bottom.
-
-make_dialog
-In version 2 this sets up everything that gets set up before the program is run. By default it does make_module_description, make_command_label, make_layout, and make_buttons and is a prime candidate for overloading.
-
-In version one this set up the windows for options, output, progress, and their associated opt variables opt($dlg, outtext), opt($dlg, progress). It also initialized opt($dlg, path), opt($dlg, root), and opt($dlg, suf). It would have been difficult to overload.
-
-A user interface wanting a special to be displayed before options should put a layout_get_special_frame here to get its frame at the top of the order.
-
-make_dialog_end
-Version 2 only, like make_dialog but run from end_dialog instead of from begin_dialog.
-
-module_description
-Version 1 only. In version 1 this added labels to the dialog for the description of the module. It was called from begin_dialog. If you overloaded it you should move those changes to an overloaded version of make_module_description
-
-add_buttons
-Only in version 1, adds the buttons to the window. Migrating: change proc definition from
-proc add_buttons {dlg} {
-to
-proc make_buttons {dlg path root} {
-
-do_*
-Make various widgets
-Decent candidates for overloading. Most layouts will want to overload do_label.
-
-
-Cleanup Procedures:
-
-These are shared between add_option and add_flag for polishing their input into a normal form. Notfor overriding:
-normalize_guisection
-choose_help_text
-
-
-Command interface:
-Gets and sets the command in tcl argv style list for exec:
-dialog_get_command {dlg}
-dialog_set_command {dlg cmd}
-
-
-Interface for making the dialog:
-
-Calling convention changed in late version 1. These are terrible candidates for overloading. parser.c is the only agent that should be using these.
-
-begin_dialog
-Must be called before add_option or add_flag.
-Must not be called again until after end_dialog is called
-In version 2 this does some of the things that version 1 did in make_dialog.
-
-add_option
-Must be called between begin_dialog and end_dialog to add an option
-
-add_flag
-Like option, but for flags
-
-end_dialog
-In version 1 this called add_buttons. Now it calls make_dialog_end to add more to the ui and layout_raise_frame to bring up the first option section.
