Frederic Bonnet

I am French and live in Rennes, France. I have been using Tcl/Tk since 1993. A number of annotations in the Wiki use the shortcut FB.

I have written some extensions:

• tcLex: a lexical analyzer generator.
  • home page ,
  • @SourceForge .
• TclExcept: a simple exception-handling package à la Java/C++.
  • http://www.purl.org/NET/bonnet/Tcl/TclExcept/index.en.htm
• dictionary: a new Tcl data type, sort of cross-breed between lists and arrays. Dictionaries look like lists and use the same structure as array get/set outputs (ie key/value pairs). They are implemented internally using hash tables and thus give similar performances to Tcl arrays.
  • http://www.purl.org/NET/bonnet/pub/dictionary.tar.gz

My current interests include:

• TkGS: the Tk Graphics System. An effort to replace the current Xlib Emulation Layer (XLEL) with a cross-platform, device-independent layer. Goals: better performances on non-X platforms, greater modularity (device drivers), printing support...
  • @SourceForge ,
  • specs, a bit outdated .
• Themes support. I wrote TIP #48 , which served as a basis for Joe English's work on Tile.
