LablTk is an OCaml interface to Tk, a library of widgets: various sorts of
buttons, text entries, dialog boxes...
For an introduction to Tk, to the extensions to OCaml used in LablTk,
and a few examples of LablTk, you can read the notes of Jun Furuse:
http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/class/fa07/cs421/resources/labltk/
The titles of the examples in the pages below are clickable: a click will popup a
window containing a small ml programme demonstrating some functionnality.
To run an example, save this programme somewhere, and feed it to labltk; you can either give the file to the toplevel, e.g.:
labltk fenetre05.ml
or compile it into an executable:
ocamlc -I +labltk labltk.cma fenetre05.ml -o fenetre05
./fenetre05
If labltk is properly installed on your machine, you should see a window with
the same look as the image displayed on the right of the page.

Acknowlegments:
These examples have been adapted from the PerTk tutorial
http://lionel.romain.free.fr/ written by Lionel Romain.
Some examples in this PerlTk tutorial have not been adapted here, due to
several kinds of reasons:
There exist myriads of options available in LablTk that are not
documented in these notes, often because I could not make a meaning of them,
just by looking at types and signatures.
Hint: You may look at the definition of a type or value provided in module Tk (or
another module in the library) by saying in a labltk toplevel:
# module T=Tk;;
module T :
sig
val opentk : unit -> Widget.toplevel Widget.widget
val keywords : (string * Arg.spec * string) list
val opentk_with_args : string list -> Widget.toplevel Widget.widget
val openTk :
?display:string ->
?clas:string -> unit -> Widget.toplevel Widget.widget
