This chapter describes four simple widgets and the bell command.
The frame is a building block for widget layout. A toplevel is a frame that is detached from the main window.
The label provides a line of read-only text.
The message provides a read-only block of text that gets formatted onto several lines.
The scale is a slider-like widget used to set a numeric value.
The bell command rings the terminal bell.
Chapters 37, 38, and 39 go into more detail about some of the generic widget attributes shared by the widgets presented in this chapter. The examples in this chapter use the default widget attributes in most cases.
