ANNOUNCE: GRIDPLUS2.2 - A Grid/Tile Based Screen Building Tool For Tcl/Tk
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/browse_frm/thread/a40750ab9afd9396
GRIDPLUS2 is a Tile based version of GRIDPLUS. Whereas GRIDPLUS
Version 1 has features to control widget style as well as window
layout - GRIDPLUS2 assumes that the Tile style engine facilities will
be used to control widget styles. GRIDPLUS2 instead provides
SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCED screen layout/design functionality - which can
further reduce the coding required to achieve the desired widow/
widget layout.
New and Enhanced Features
*) New -icons option for tree to determine whether or not icons are
displayed.
Changes
*) The gpmap modified to map to a dropdown value (which makes much
more sense!!).
*) The window command mode has been modified so that (for a contained
window) the
windowcommand is invoked when a window of the same name already
exists.

WARN:
Attention extension maintainers
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/browse_frm/thread/bff391a7f1bd8f6c
Due to changes in internal var handling extensions may/will be broken
that do deeprooting into the tcl core.
