# nimtk

High level wrapper for Tk

## Installation

You may install using nimble

```sh

nimble install nimtk

```

This library only depends upon [`nimtcl`](https://github.com/neroist/nimtcl).

## Usage/Documentation

Please see the [examples](/examples/) for library usage. This wrapper should be

*similar enough* to tkinter and Tk to still be intuitive to use.

## Differences from tkinter

In tkinter, the `Tk` object both serves as a the Tcl interpreter and the root window

in for Tk. Instead, this is separated in `nimtk`, in which `Tk` only holds the Tcl

interpreter, and `Root` is the root window. Below is common code in all of the

examples:

```nim

import nimtk/all

let

  tk = newTk()

  root = tk.getRoot()

...

```

If you want to emulate tkinter's behavior with nimtk (for whatever reason?),

`nimtk/tkinter` contains some converters which may be of use. **Still discouraged

though!**
