Abstract
This paper presents a framework for evaluating Tk mega-widget
extensions. This framework addresses how these extensions perform,
both from the application builder's view of created widgets as well as
from the viewpoint of the mega-widget builder. Issues addressed
include support for building Tk-like widgets, access to component
widgets, and reuse of previous widget implementations. Several
existing mega-widget extensions are then evaluated using the
framework.
