Yes, there's a fair amount of that going on with the tcltk interface. You need to both grasp the rules for passing arguments to the underlying Tcl command, and know how to find and read the Tcl/Tk documentation. Once you're up to speed on those issues it's not all that hard to find stuff in (for the present case), say, http://tktable.sourceforge.net/tktable/doc/tkTable.html The situation may be unfortunate, but the alternative is for "someone" to sit down an convert all relevant Tcl/Tk documentation to R help files. -pd > I was able to do it eventually but only after a few hours of effort searching > the web for help. > > E.g. with a table (called table1) with 3 columns and want to set widths to > 30, 5, and 5: > > colwidths<-c(30, 5, 5) > > for(i in 1:3) { > tcl(table1, "width", i - 1, colwidths[i]) > } > > > > On Wed, Jan 20, 2016 at 3:07 PM, peter dalgaard <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On 19 Jan 2016, at 20:48 , Dalthorp, Daniel <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Does anyone know a simple way to create a tcltk table with columns of > > varying widths? > > Create a table, then set the width of the columns with the width subcommand? > > -pd > > > pathName width ?col? ?value col value ...?
