Class ::tycho::Glimpse


Inherits: ::tycho::Query - Source File - Contents: itk_option - public methods
Glimpse "is an indexing and query system that allows you to search through all your files very quickly"

The glimpse binary is not shipped with Tycho, see see http://glimpse.cs.arizona.edu

In Tycho, $TYCHO/makefile contains a 'glimpse' rule that will build $TYCHO/.glimpse_index

Here is an example of how to use the Glimpse:

::tycho::Glimpse .g
.g centerOnScreen
.

Itk_option

-findcommand
The command to execute on a find command.

glimpseSearch
Call glimpse on the pattern and produce an index browser with the results.
help
Open a help window.
updateGlimpseIndex
Update the glimpse_index entry from the value of the Tycho/Ptolemy index buttons. This method is public only because of the way Tk handles radiobutton -command options.

Update $TYCHO/.glimpse_index by running 'make glimpse'.
