Abstract
The introduction of [incr Tcl] and [incr Tk] allows an object oriented
approach to Tk widget construction. "Mega-widgets" developed in these
extensions seamlessly expand the Tk base widget set. Each of these
object-oriented widgets may themselves be extended, using either
inheritance or composition. This paper presents one such general
purpose hierarchy called [incr Widgets] which maintains the Motif
look-and-feel and establishes several new concepts, including
extensible child sites and flexible large scale component
configuration.
