DESCRIPTION

       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.

LIMITATIONS

       Some experimenting with window layout may be  necessary  to  achieve  a
       visually  pleasing appearance with a drawer. Also, because of some dif-
       ferences in how the Mac/Cocoa frameworks implement  the  drawer  effect
       and  in  Tk  window  geometry, the drawer does not "slide out" from the
       parent window; it simply appears. Also, while a fully-native  implemen-
       tation allows a drawer to be attached to any side of a toplevel window,
       the macdrawer package attaches the drawer to the left-hand side of  the
       window only.

EXAMPLE

       See "demo.tcl" in the source code package for an example implementation
       and sample code.
