Words of Developer

This is the first version of this library. It is one of its kind widget for tkinter. When I was developing a tool for my college project I found that at the time no inbuilt or external tool is available for tkinter allowing range selection. However, range selection is a high demand tool specially for applications dealing with data visualizations. I would appreciate any developer from any community who wants to contribute to this project.

Being a graduation student, I am unable to work over it for long. I will try to release next version having more features as soon as possible.
