Summary
More model railroading with Tcl R. Suchenwirth, Konstanz 2001-03-10
Description
Richard Suchenwirth - This weekend fun project varies the theme of Model railroading with Tcl and takes a windshield perspective. Imagine you're standing at a railroad crossing, red lights are flashing... and then the train runs by - an armour yellow F7A, boxcars, gondola, trailer on flat car.. and finally, the caboose. That's what the following piece shows on a Tk canvas. You can control train speed with left (faster), middle (emergency stop), and right (slower, or back) mouse buttons.
In order to cope with the higher data complexity, some more structure and a rr namespace were introduced. The API, so to speak, is simple:
rr::init $canvas ;# creates and packs a canvas, if not existing rr::create $type $number [$otherdata] ;# make a vehicle (loco or car) rr::train $number $consist ;# vehicles of which a train is made up rr::run $trainnumber ;# guess what that does ;-)
See the demo at end for concrete examples.
