TrackerWidget

FF 2007-05-26 - This widget has various uses. Basically it's a grid/spreadsheet like widget. --

WJP 2008-06-29 - A little bit more of an explanation of what this is for and how to use it would be very helpful. FF Spreadsheet/data-grid. Basically viewing and editing a grid of data (not necessarily numbers... try [.t columnconfigure 0 -type note] for example ;p HexEdit - an hexadecimal editor is another example, although incomplete, and doesn't feature almost any cool feature of TrackerWidget... more to come...)

ChangeLog

2008-07-17 - FF - Standardized methods arguments, added selectionmethod, notify callbacks for cursor movement, selection, data change, added selection iterator, added readonly state; introduced public/private methods in its little OO system.

2008-07-01 - FF - Added configure command, columnconfigure command, improved keyboard support - this is coming up really nice, although it needs a bit more optimization :] -- and: minor fixes, support for very long numbers

2008-06-30 - FF - After counting how many tracker_* and tracker_struct was repeated in the source, I created a tiny object system :)) you can see the benefit looking at the diff; thanks to DGP for helping me in removing all those ugly evals

2008-06-29 - FF - Full scroll/visibility support

2008-06-28 - FF - Added more color keys, added partial scroll support

older - FF - The big mess


Usage example:

 pack [tracker::tracker .t \
             -rows 32 -cols 24 \
             -colchars {8 1 1 1 2 4 1 4 1 2 3 2 1} \
             -hl1 4 -hl2 16]
 
 # fill with random data
 set dgts {0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f} ; set dgtsl [llength $dgts]

 for {set y 0} {$y < 32} {incr y} {
     for {set x 0} {$x < 24} {incr x} {
         set d {}
         for {set z 0} {$z < 8} {incr z} {
             append d [lindex $dgts [expr {int(rand()*$dgtsl)}]]
         }
         .t setdata $y $x $d
     }
 }
 
 .t move 5 8
 .t setsel 2 2 5 5

AMG: This example doesn't work, since the -colchars option doesn't exist.

It's interesting that you made your own object system, but have you considered rewriting this in terms of [namespace ensemble], TclOO, or (heh) [sproc]? It could also be turned into a snidget.
