I'm responsible for the ugly code. When I wrote much of the Ruby/Tk widget demo, there were few documents for Ruby/Tk. But there were many documents for Tcl/Tk. And I thought a large number of Ruby/Tk beginners have knew Tcl/Tk. Therefore, the scripts were modeled on Tcl/Tk scripts, because I believed that a comparison between Tcl/Tk and Ruby/Tk helps to understand Ruby/Tk. Some scripts which were written by other people are more elegant. They made the scripts to get same effect of target Tcl/Tk scripts. Maybe Ruby/Tk beginners of nowadays don't know Tcl/Tk. If it is so, we must try to add more elegant version of scripts. # Of course, I know the most important problem is a lack of documents. -- Hidetoshi NAGAI (nagai@ai.kyutech.ac.jp)
