# itkwish3.0(1)

Simple windowing shell for \[incr Tcl\] / \[incr Tk\]

```

```

## NAME

itkwish - Simple windowing shell for \[incr Tcl\] / \[incr Tk\]

## SYNOPSIS

**itkwish** ?*fileName arg arg ...*?

## OPTIONS

- **-display** *display*

  Display (and screen) on which to display window.

- **-geometry** *geometry*

  Initial geometry to use for window.  If this option is specified, its value is stored in the **geometry** global variable of the application's Tcl interpreter.

- **-name** *name*

  Use *name* as the title to be displayed in the window, and as the name of the interpreter for **send** commands.

- **-sync**

  Execute all X server commands synchronously, so that errors are reported immediately.  This will result in much slower execution, but it is useful for debugging.

- **--**

  Pass all remaining arguments through to the script's **argv** variable without interpreting them. This provides a mechanism for passing arguments such as **-name** to a script instead of having **itkwish** interpret them.

  ```

  ```

## DESCRIPTION

**itkwish** is a simple program consisting of the Tcl command language, the Tk toolkit, the **\[incr Tcl\]** extension for object-oriented programming, and the **\[incr Tk\]** extension for building mega-widgets.  The main program creates an interpreter, creates a main window, and then processes Tcl commands from standard input or from a file.

**itkwish** is just like **wish**, but includes the **\[incr Tcl\]** / **\[incr Tk\]** extensions.

See the **wish** man page for details concerning usage.  See the **itcl** and **itk** man pages for an overview of **\[incr Tcl\]** / **\[incr Tk\]**.
