These examples demonstrate the use of Pythons tkinter module. It is intentional that neither the Tk
themed widget set (ttk) module nor an Object Oriented approach is used. They are intended as
teaching examples for exploration and extension.

Programs can be downloaded from http://tinyurl.com/tkinter-rdcruz but it is not recommended that

this is passed on to students as they will learn more by typing the programs in and adapting them.
