From: Zdzis on 30 Jan 2005 08:10 Hi! I have just completed reading the Tcl_tutorial. It is excellent for my needs - I am a mathematician who only needs a programming language to manage statistical data and prepare it to be loaded into mathematical programs. I do not need to know everything there is to know about Tcl. I was able to complete the tutorial in four days and now I feel I am able to do everything I need to do (I had been using C before I started learning Tcl - which is some 5 days ago). Now, I would like to add some Tk windows to my scripts so that other people can use them too. I have a book in my native Polish and a big, fat book by Welch in English, but again, I do not think I have to know everything. Is there anything similar to the Tcl tutorial which would allow me to learn how to use a few basic Tk widgets to simplyfy communication with my scripts, so that I do not have to read the whole books? (I intend to read them eventually, but now I just need to do a few simple things.) Thank you for any answers Zdzislaw Jarecki

I have just found Tcl/Tk by Arnaud Laprevote (in French) http://freealter.com/fr/ProjetsLibres/tcltk/ and it looks like it may be what I am looking for. Z

The ActiveState distro contains a lot of demos in <your Tcl dir>/demos - subdir Tk: Read the readme file on how to start. - subdir BWidgets: Double click demo.tcl - subdir IWidgets: Double click catalog.tcl. Here, for each demo script/widget you select, you can see the example itself as well as the code to produce it in the main window. HTH for a start Helmut Giese

Ah, cool, glad you found it useful:-) We would be more than happy to listen if you had any comments or suggestions on how to improve it..things you did or didn't like and so on. > > There are a couple different ones floating around, but nothing > > official like the Tcl Tutorial (yet). > could you give some links? Mostly what you find with google, unfortunately. The Welch book is actually pretty good if you just skim it and start playing around. Tk is easy that way in that you can just start using it, more often than not. > I have just found Tcl/Tk by Arnaud Laprevote (in French) > http://freealter.com/fr/ProjetsLibres/tcltk/ and it looks like it > may be what I am looking for. Hopefully we will do a Tk tutorial at some point in the future, but we first need to perfect the Tcl one:-) -- David N.
