gnocl::dial
WJG (18/03/18) The gnocl::dial widget is not a binding to any of the core Gtk widgets or, for that matter, a custom widget derived from Gtk classes along the lines of the gnocl::tickerTape widget. From the Tcl side of things, there is no difference between the scripting interface, they work seamlessly together. Creating custom widgets like the dial using the GtkDrawingArea as the base object and making Cairo calls to make the direct drawing has its advantages: less to learn, no extra C modules and less prone to the downstream effects of any changes to the Gtk API. This widget could, of course, have been implemented in Tcl/Gnocl too, there so much choice in life...
