Confusion about create() function

[gregnordin]

@laffra I'm very interested in ltk but as I try it I believe I am missing something fundamental. Specifically, in the examples, each file has a create() function. I don't understand how create() is used for a given example.

For example, when I look through the code that generates https://pyscript.github.io/ltk/, I see instances of .create() in the examples.__init__.py file in the items list. When examples is imported, I understand that the code in __init__.py will be executed and therefore each .create() function will be called, returning whatever ltk things it creates. But I don't understand how these are populated in the relevant tabs.

Alternatively, if I take the code from a specific example file and try to use it in my own simple index.html file (with pyscript, ltk, etc. properly loaded in the file), I don't know where I should call the create() function, and things I have tried have resulted in errors. Any clarification you can provide would be much appreciated. Thanks!

If you copy the contents of an example to a new file and then add the following, it should work: create().appendTo(ltk.find("body"))

Ahh, that's what I was missing! Thank you so much! Things work now, and I can see how to add whatever the create() function returns to wherever I want on the page by finding the correct location. Makes sense now....
