ttk Scale
=========

It is noticeable that the ttk Scale has fewer attributes than its tkinter
mate, and some of these missing attributes are useful for everyday use, on
top of this there is no method available in ttk Style. To obtain 
an equivalent ttk to the tkinter scale one must use fairly complicated scripts,
or find a workable script after searching the web.

If you do not require a scale with an annotated start and finish then the
existing ttk scale suffices, but if you wish to have an annotated scale then
use the tkinter scale but then the scale will look out of place
compared to the other widgets unless tkinter is used throughout. If you 
require a theme with an annotated scale, then the following chapters should be
of interest.
