MEd 2006/02/21: This may be useful for debugging purposes. All widgets which are hierarchically below a given
widget (default = root) are displayed in tree format on stdout.
The procedure can be easily adapted to show more detailed information for each widget (e.g.
bind and
bindtags info).

pack [button .f1.b1 -text "Button"]
pack [label .f2.l1 -text "Label1"] [label .f2.l2 -text "Label2"] [entry .f2.e1 -text "B"]
pack [frame .f3.f1 -relief ridge -borderwidth 2 -padx 5 -pady 5]

### End of ScriptThe result for this demo will look like this:
Starting with root widget:
.
|__.b1
|__.b2
|__.f1
| \__.f1.b1
|__.f2
| |__.f2.l1
| |__.f2.l2
| \__.f2.e1
\__.f3
\__.f3.f1
|__.f3.f1.b1
\__.f3.f1.b2
Starting with .f3 widget:
.f3
\__.f3.f1
|__.f3.f1.b1
\__.f3.f1.b2
