# Tkinspect Startup

tkinspect sources `~/.tkinspect_opts` after it has initialized various defaults, but before it creates any windows. Here you may place `option add` commands and the like to customize tkinspect's look and function.

tkinspect then creates a main window, and sources `.tkinspect_init` (in the current directory). Here you might put commands that automatically selects an interpreter, opens a command line, sets up variable traces, etc.

# Tkinspect Interface

The following functions are available for controlling tkinspect or for use in startup files:

- `tkinspect_set_target target` sets `target` as the current interpreter.

- `tkinspect_select type name` selects a proc, global, window, image, menu, or canvas. `type` should be `proc`, `global`, `window`, `image`, `menu`, or `canvas`. `name` should be the name of the thing.

- `tkinspect_create_cmdline` creates a command line interface.

- `tkinspect_help ?topic?` brings up the help window containing `topic`. `topic` defaults to Intro.

- `tkinspect_value_text_widget` returns the name of the text widget in the value.

- `tkinspect_send_value` sends the current value.

- `tkinspect_detach_value` detaches the value window.

- `tkinspect_trace_global var` creates a trace on the global variable `var`.

- `tkinspect_display_image image` displays the image `image`.
