Yes, my parameters are things connected to an entry widget
(-textvariable and
the like). I want users to be able to fill in say the ambient water
temperature
and the solar irradiation. Or select which type of calculation to
perform
(a series of radiobuttons).

Typically a window will have, say, 10 different widgets (entries,
buttons,
radiobuttons, the odd checkbox).
