Figure 4.1. greftools: Tools


The »greftools« command creates a »greftools« window.

»greftools« is used as a preferences page. This page allows the incorporation of external applications. In addition the scripttool is maintained by this page.

Figure 4.2. greftools: Scripts


Greftools provides the maintainment part for the scripttool and Add-ins inside the tools-menu. –The Jeszra Tools menu is deactivated on default and will be activated after the user has added some tools to it.

The scripttool is always available. It does follow the normal palettes concept –in every respect, except glyphs. The general editing stuff is also present, as a part of this configuration sheet.

Window Command

A Window created through the greftools command exposes various functions. Using these functions has the following general form:

          pathName option ?arg arg ...?
          

PathName is the same as the window path name. Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands are possible for this window:

pathName cget option

Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the greftools command.

pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?

Query or modify the configuration options of the window. If no option is specified, returns a list describing all of the available options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the format of this list). If option is specified with no value, then the command returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the value returned if no option is specified). If one or more option-value pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given window option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string. Option may have any of the values accepted by the greftools command.
