Did you try clicking on any of the widget names in the sidebar? When  
I click on the name of a widget, I get a tutorial with example code  
for that widget. In the lower right corner of the tutorial is a set  
of buttons that link to reference material for the given widget.  
Altogether I think this the [incr Widgets] are pretty well  
documented. I could wish Ruby/Tk were so well documented.

I am new to both Ruby and Tk -- I have just started exploring, so I  
don't have much to offer. All I have done (and only for a two of the  
[incr Widgets]) is translate the web site's example code into Ruby/Tk  
and probably not very elegantly. With that disclaimer in mind, do you  
still want me to post my code?
