<h3>Arguments</h3>

<table summary="R argblock">
<tr valign="top"><td><code>x</code></td>
<td>
<p>A window object</p>
</td></tr>
<tr valign="top"><td><code>value</code></td>
<td>
<p>For <code>tktitle</code> assignments, a character string.</p>
</td></tr>
<tr valign="top"><td><code>...</code></td>
<td>
<p>Handled via <code>.Tcl.args</code></p>
</td></tr>
</table>

<h3>Details</h3>

<p><code>tcl</code> provides a generic interface to calling any Tk or Tcl
command by simply running <code>.Tcl.args.objv</code> on the argument list
and passing the
result to <code>.Tcl.objv</code>.  Most of the other commands simply call
<code>tcl</code> with a particular
first argument and sometimes also a second argument giving the
subcommand.
</p>
<p><code>tktitle</code> and its assignment form provides an alternate interface
to Tk's <code>wm title</code>
</p>
<p>There are far too many of these commands to describe them and their
arguments in full.  Please refer to the Tcl/Tk documentation for details.
With a few exceptions, the pattern is that Tk subcommands like
<code>pack configure</code> are converted to function names like
<code>tkpack.configure</code>, and Tcl subcommands are like
<code>tclfile.dir</code>.

<h3>Examples</h3>

<pre>
## Not run: 
## These cannot be run by examples() but should be OK when pasted
## into an interactive R session with the tcltk package loaded

tt &lt;- tktoplevel()
tkpack(l1 &lt;- tklabel(tt, text = "Heave"), l2&lt; - tklabel(tt, text = "Ho"))
tkpack.configure(l1, side = "left")

## Try stretching the window and then

tkdestroy(tt)

## End(Not run)
