Tix is barely documented even there!
I was actually considering writing a book to document the Tix
toolkit. If its now deprecated I won't bother!! :-)

It's a widget not a window manager (although Tix does provide
a new "Form" WM, but I've never used it). The grid is a table
or simple spreadsheet control. Most GUI toolkits have one
but Tkinter doesn't... yet...

I'll need to do a bit of dir() and diff() to answer that

digging... see my other post that seems to have crossed
