Purpose: to document and review attempts to provide GUI toolkits for Tcl that are based on a library '''other''' than Tk's graphical library. Please add to this list, or correct the info. If links or emails are stale and you have updated email addresses, etc. please add. ---- With the arrival of [Tile], Tcl apps can draw native Windows XP/OS X widgets. Other GUI libraries have this ability: * '''Qt''' * '''WXWidgets''' While those (although famous) are not: * '''GTK''' * '''Fltk''' ---- * [ctaxt] * [CTk] * [EGR TIGER] * [Fltk Tcl binding] * [gnocl] * [gnome-tcl] * [Moat/TclMotif (Newmarch)] Where: ftp://csc.canberra.edu.au/pub/motif/tclMotif/tclMotif.tar.z ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/devel_tools/tclMotif.1.4.tar.Z ftp://ftp.procplace.com/pub/tcl/sorted/packages-7.6/devel/tclMotif.1.4.tar.gz Description: A Tcl shell (moat) which uses Motif widgets rather than Tk widgets.

One of the two palettes included in this release is WWTCLWidgets one take on how to integrate Tcl into the NeXTSTEP development environment. The other palette makes use of the Tcl widget palette. The other WavesWorld palettes, on ftp://media.mit.edu/pub/WavesWorld/, integrate Tcl into IB, complete with a suite of UI objects, and a 3D modeling language called eve, which is basically Tcl with a full RenderMan binding. The WWTCLWidgetsPalette includes a WWTCLInterp, which is an objective-C wrapper around a Tcl interp. Contact: mailto:wave@media.mit.edu (Michael B. Johnson) * nexTk? ... * [PortBox] Where: From the contact Description: A Tcl 7.x interface to the XVT GUI toolbox. It is not a complete encapsulation of XVT, though it may be close enough to be useful. It is freely distributable software, even though XVT is not. It was developed with the Macintosh's MPW 3.2+ and SCO Motif on XVT v3.02. It has not been ported to Windows. PortBox requires an ANSI C compiler. This is *NOT* a version of Tk for the Macintosh or Windows.

Updated: 09/2000 Contact: mailto:awaken71@yahoo.fr (Olivier Paquay) [RLH] 2006-10-23: wxTcl is no longer being developed and hasn't been for a while.
