---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

package require Tcl 8.5 9

package require TclOO

package require tcl::chan::events ?1.1?

package require tcl::chan::textwindow ?1.1?

::tcl::chan::textwindow widget

like. look at that. five whole lines and one of them is literally just TclOO showing up to the party. 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the vibe: the tcl::chan::textwindow package hands you a command that creates write-only channels wired straight into text widgets. anything you write to that channel? it gets printed into the widget it's attached to. that's it. that's the whole personality. 🦋

and the internal TclOO class doing the actual channel-handler work? it's a sub-class of the tcl::chan::events framework. she inherited the good genes. 👑

---

✨ API ✨

the one and only command 💅

• ::tcl::chan::textwindow widget — this creates a brand new textwindow channel and gives you back its handle. anything you write to that channel is gonna show up in the associated widget. that's the deal. 🫶
