[PD] gui elements documentation / list

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Pd uses almost all of the available widgets in Tk:
http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/Keywords/W.htm#widget

The 'text' widget doesn't respond to -size:
http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TkCmd/text.htm

You need to specify the point or pixel size as part of the font:
$tkcanvas itemconfigure text -fill red -font {Helvetica 16}  ;# points
$tkcanvas itemconfigure text -fill red -font {Helvetica -16}  ;# negative is
pixels

You can also create a 'font' to have that setting in one spot:
http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TkCmd/font.htm

Please add anything you find useful to the wiki:
