delete page, thx
Fabricio Rocha - 26 Aug 2011 - Why? The text was rather confusing indeed, but the concept is interesting. Some days ago I was thinking about how could Tk canvas be used for creating interfaces in Hypercard style -- having one or more "background" images, such as a school notebook or an airplane cockpit, over which one could create a "layer" of clickable areas (buttons), selectable/clickable text (listboxes and alikes) and "fields" for user keyboard input. I am not sure this could be called a new "geometry manager", but it might be somehow used like one...
Ro: Interesting idea Fabricio. I have never used Hypercard but my cousin described it to me and remembers it fondly. What you're describing sounds quite easily possible with a canvas, a background image, and then gui elements on top, with scrollbars so you're not limited to the size of the form.
I deleted this page because I don't have time for petty arguments, and I'd rather lurk or simply not participate then be dragged in to inane pedantic discussions by people who have way too much time on their hands.
