Sounds like a very nifty gauge! > because of this behaviour, i was thinking of naming it Tk::RRGauge (RR > meaning RoundRobin). > > however, i think i'll implement later on a mode where it does not wrap > up. ie, taking the above example of 0..10 range, widget will look sthg > like: > [xxxxxxxxxxx| 1 2 ] value=0.00 > [ 8 9 |xxxxxxxxx] value=9.99 Does there have to be a fixed range? Maybe it should have some options to control whether or not it wraps around (like a wheel in RL) or keeps on going (like a slider or infinite-diameter wheel). > therefore, the name RRGauge might not be the best one... so, maybe a > name like Tk::RotatingGauge would be better? How about Tk::Gauge::Rotating? I think RR is too obscure, and this leaves room for others to come up with other Tk::Gauge::Xxx modules. Are there other gauge modules for Tk? Maybe using different kinds of names besides "gauge" such as "indicator" or "display" or "dial"?
