[ltk-user] ltk examples

[Bernhard Graf]

Hi Ken,

yes, the only demo for ltk is in fact the spinning lines demo. Demo's  
like the one you provide for your Celtk or Cells-TK would be really  
great for ltk.
The reason why I use ltk is simply that I want to do it on my  
PowerBook and Cells and everything related to it seem only be  
supported on Linux and Windows.
Or has anyone got it working on a Mac as well, either on openMCL or  
SBCL ?

I am also stuck again with my ltk trials. I know that e.g. "entry"  
delivers its content as text and this can be used with (text  
entry_variable) It seems to come from a tktextvariable, according to  
the source in ltk.lisp.
I was able to display a slider (scale), but I have no idea on how to  
get its current value. What type is it ? Which method needs to be  
used to get it ?
If only these informations were given in the ltk documentation, it  
would be really helpful. Unfortunately, the source seems to be the  
only documentation. Nice for Lisp geeks, but problematic for people  
like me ;-)

Greetings,

Bernhard

PS : I heard that you are designing a math tutorial software for  
kids. If you ever need someone to translate it to German, give me a  
call ;-)
