class tkInvisibleWindow(Kamaelia.UI.Tk.TkWindow.TkWindow)

tkInvisibleWindow() -> new tkInvisibleWindow component.

An invisible, empty tk window. Can use as a 'root' window, thereby ensuring closing any (visible) window doesn't terminate Tk (closing the root does).

Inboxes

control : Secondary inbox often used for signals. The closest analogy is unix signals
inbox : Default inbox for bulk data. Used in a pipeline much like stdin

Outboxes

outbox : Default data out outbox, used in a pipeline much like stdout
signal : The default signal based outbox - kinda like stderr, but more for sending singal type signals

Methods defined here

Warning!

You should be using the inbox/outbox interface, not these methods (except construction). This documentation is designed as a roadmap as to their functionalilty for maintainers and new component developers.

setupWindow(self)

Sets up and hides the window.
