## The TixSelect Widget

The TixSelect widget figure 1-10 provides you the same kind of facility that is available with the Tk `radiobutton` and `checkbutton` widgets. That is, TixSelect allows the user to select one or a few values out of many choices. However, TixSelect is superior because it allows you to layout the choices in much less space than what is required by the Tk `radiobutton` widgets. Also, TixSelect supports complicated selection rules. Because of these reasons, TixSelect is a primary choice for implementing toolbar buttons, which often have strict space requirements and complicated selection rules.
