If the label widget is used for well, labelling other widgets, the overall size of the label is pretty-well fixed and then only to a few number of words. But, the Gtk+ label is much more powerful than this. Because the widget is a container for pango text, its a really useful, high-speed alternative to the gnocl::text widget for the display of extensive pieces of text. Added to this, the use of pango markup, which is pretty well the same as a standard html string, makes run time formatting a something of a breeze.

(For some odd reason months are are counted 0-11 whereas days are 1-31.) There's still a little more to do to this one including the addition of code to store diary details. Here's the working test script to show the range of options at work. The percentage substitution string item %e explores something that I've been toying with, the name of the signal/event that initiated the call. Ok, a script can keep its own internal trace but who knows, it might prove useful. #--------------- # calendarTest.tcl #--------------- # Author: William J Giddings # Date: 07/05/09 #--------------- #!/bin/sh # the next line restarts using tclsh \ exec tclsh "$0" "$@" #--------------- package require Gnocl set cal [gnocl::calendar] $cal configure -day 8 -month 7 -year 1956 $cal configure -rowHeight 1 -colWidth 1 $ca...
