Gestalt Items Palette

Toolbar, Goolbar, Zoolbar

The »goolbar« template creates a toolbar window. This toolbar window has an interface similar to a Tk Menu.

Supported toolbar items are: command, radiobutton, checkbutton, varspace and separator. The naming and meaning is identical to their menu counterpart.

varspace and separator are white space elements, used for grouping and spatial orientation.

Only a single varspace item is allowed.

Toolbars are frequently used inside of Jeszra. In truth the Figure 2.14, “Gestalt Items”, a »galette« is implemented by a toolbar.
