APS Tcl/Tk library and interpreter extensions
This document serves as a User`s Manual and Reference for the library of Tcl and Tk procedures produced by the Operations Analysis Group. Also covered are compiled interpreter extensions.
Experiences in effective use of Tcl/Tk
Abstract
Tcl/Tk (Toot Command Language and Tool Kit, pronounced ``tickle tee-kay``) is a scripting language supporting Motifm style X Window interfaces. It is extendible, allowing developers to embed additional functionality as commands in the language. However, the power and flexibility of the system leads to many variations or possibilities in its usage. We describe effective methods for taking advantage of Tcl/Tk to increase productivity and enhance the flexibility and adaptability of applications: writing simple Tcl/Tk scripts, extending the Tcl/Tk widget set, wrapping Tcl commands around existing classes and functions, and building Tcl/Tk and 3GL coprocesses. Examples are presented from working applications.

IT: IDL TCL/TK Interface
This document describes the tcl command and command types which are us( communicate with IDL via the IDL Remote Procedure Call Interface. IDL is a program for the analysis and visualization of scientific and engineering data. It is supplied by Research Systems, Inc., Boulder, Colorado. In addition to the tcl application libraries necessary to build et, the IDL RPC library, which is part of the IDL distribution is needed. The reader of this document is assumed to be familiar with the et tcl implementation. See EPICS document ET:EPICS TCL/TK Interface by Bob Daly, for further information. -
ET: EPICS TCL/TK interface
This document describes the tc1 command and command types which are used to communicate with EPICS database servers. The application libraries upon which et is built include tc1, tk, tc1-dp, and blt. The reader of this document is assumed to be familiar with tc1/tk.
