.SH NAME
TixIntro \- Introduction to the Tix widget set
.BE
'
'
.SH DESCRIPTION
'
Tix is a set of mega widgets based on the standard Tk widgets. If you
are planning only to use Tix with the standard Tk widget set, you can
use the program \fBtixwish(1)\fR to interpret your TCL scripts.
.PP
To use Tix with other TCL extension packages, you have to call the
function \fBTix_Init()\fR in your \fBTcl_AppInit()\fR function. Here
is an example:
.nf

int Tcl_AppInit(interp)
    Tcl_Interp *interp;
{
    Tk_Window main;

    main = Tk_MainWindow(interp);

    if (Tcl_Init(interp) == TCL_ERROR) {
        return TCL_ERROR;
    }
    if (Tk_Init(interp) == TCL_ERROR) {
        return TCL_ERROR;
    }

    if (Tix_Init(interp) == TCL_ERROR) {
        return TCL_ERROR;
    }
    /*
     * Call the init procedures for included packages. 
     * Each call should look like this:
     *
     * if (Mod_Init(interp) == TCL_ERROR) {
     *     return TCL_ERROR;
     * }
     *
     * where "Mod" is the name of the module.
     */
