156 <p>This package provides balloon tooltips for Tk widget. You
157 invoke procedure balloon with name of widget and it’s
158 all. User positiones mouse cursor over widget and after
159 specified <b>-showdelay</b> small toplevel window with
160 specified text would appear. At least one of options:
161 <b>-label</b>, <b>-text</b> or <b>-textvariable</b> should
164 <p>Procedure <b>balloon</b> doesn’t return anything,
165 and even doesn’t actually create widget.</p>
167 <p>If <b>-label</b> option is specified, message would be
168 placed into toplevel as <b>label</b> widget. Otherwise
169 <b>message</b> widget is used.</p>
171 <p>To disable tooltip set invoke <b>balloon</b> command
172 again and specify -1 as <b>-showdelay</b>.</p>
