INTRO

Paved is a collection of standard widgets enhanced with background-tessellation capability (tiling).

Paved widgets are:

• Paved::toplevel
• Paved::frame
• Paved::button
• Paved::label
• Paved::canvas
• Paved::Tree

These widgets have been inspired by the BLT package. Paved-widgets are pure-tcl widgets requiring the (pure-tcl) snit package.

For detailed info about each widget, read the related paveXXX.html document.

Starting from release 1.1 you can also transform pre-existing widget in Paved-Widgets.

See documentation for the following widget adapators:

• Paved::toplevelAdaptor
• Paved::frameAdaptor
• Paved::buttonAdaptor
• Paved::labelAdaptor
• Paved::canvasAdaptor
• Paved::TreeAdaptor

    # (suppose xyz.gif is in current directory)
   package require Paved::frame
