Tk-CanvasDirTree version 0.04
=============================
zentara <
[email protected]> - The Distribution Maintainer
INCLUDED WIDGETS:
Tk::CanvasDirTree - a directory browser based on a Derived Tk::Canvas
ADDITIONAL SCRIPTS:
z-lighten - an Imager based script to make "lightened" images for
backgrounds used with dark font fills
z-charcoal - an ImageMagick based script to make an artistic charcoal
drawing for backgrounds.
DESCRIPTION:
This widget reads a directory tree, in an efficient manner, and provides
an intuitive graphical interface to selecting them. It only recurses 2 levels
at a time, so it is efficient on deeply nested trees.
It is similar in appearance to the Gtk2 TreeView. Colors and fonts are
configurable, as well as a background image (with configurable location placement).
Due to the wide variety of possible color schemes, creating a pleasing
background image is left to you. See the perldoc for suggestions.
