baltip

It's a Tcl/Tk tip widget inspired by:

• https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Tklib+tooltip

• https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/balloon+help

The original code has been modified to make the tip:

• be faded/destroyed after an interval defined by a caller
• be enabled/disabled for all or specific widgets
• be displayed at the screen's edges
• be displayed under the host widget
• be displayed as a stand-alone balloon message at given coordinates and optional bell
• be displayed with given opacity, font, paddings, relief, colors, bell
• have -image and -compound options to display images
• have -command option to be displayed in a status bar instead of a balloon
• have -maxexp option to limit the number of tip's expositions
• have configure/cget etc. wrapped in Tcl ensemble for convenience
