Macdrawer

I'm pleased to announce the release of the macdrawer package for Tk on Mac OS X.

This package implements Mac-native "drawer" windows for Tk. "Drawer" windows are windows are attached to the side of a toplevel window, and whose visibility can be toggled with a button. Drawers contain frequently accessed controls that do not need to be visible at all times.

The package is available at http://tk-components.sourceforge.net and is licensed under Tcl's BSD-style license. Both file releases and SVN downloads are available. In addition to source code, the packages include demo scripts and man pages.

This extension requires Tk-Cocoa to run; it is not compatible with the older version of Tk based on the Mac's Carbon framework. Tk 8.6 for the Mac is based on Cocoa, and a backport of Tk-Cocoa to 8.5 is available at http://github.com/das/tcltk/tree/de-carbon-8-5.
