I have botched a quick-and dirty way to get the ZoomStack working by doing the following in PopZoom and PushZoom (graph.tcl) # busy hold $graph event generate $graph <Configure> # busy release $graph It works for me as they say. I stumbled on this by whilst interactively trying to set the axis -min value, nothing happend until I resized the window. I am not sure if <Configure> is the correct event to use and will wait to see what our learned friends say kind regard Julian

Not sure why it works, suspect BLT (RBC) minimises redraws ect to improve performance and that the <Configure> forces it's hand...

I'll try that. So the original code in PushZoom and PopZoom was: busy hold $graph update busy release $graph Are you including any sort of update, or just generating the event? I also remember the "update considered harmful" issue, and I think it might apply here. It might make sense to use [update idletasks]. I'll have to play around. Thanks much, Bob

Hi, I tried your trick of Configure <on windows> and it does not work for me, resizing does work however, I will try other events. (One of my window is not resizable). This is not a complete solution however BLTs graph widget updates without having to generate false events, Is there anyone out there capable of seeing what has changed in the code ? Martyn |
