iwidgets::extbutton - Extends the behavior of the Tk button by allowing a bitmap or image to coexist with
Contents
Description
The extbutton extends the behavior of the atomic Tk button by allowing text and an image or bitmap to
coexist. The user may use the -image or -bitmap options to specify an image as well as the -imagepos
option to specify image position relative to the text. Note that the extbutton is not intended to be
used without an image/bitmap. There will be an emtpy space next to the text if no image/bitmap is
specified.
