Package topo :: Package tkgui

Package tkgui

Tk-based graphical user interface (GUI).

This package implements a Topographica GUI based on the Tk toolkit, through the Tkinter interface to Python. The rest of Topographica does not depend on this package or any module in it, and thus other GUIs or other types of interfaces can also be used.
