The Fast Light Tool Kit (FLTK) binding for [Tcl/Tk] is a dynamic [extension] to the Tcl/Tk application development environment that implements a [GUI] development environment based on the FLTK library. This [Tk] look-alike has a rich widget set that can be used for the rapid development of GUI appliactions. The extension is available for both RH [Linux] and MS [Windows] in the form of binary distribution, and is also available as a source distribution. The [Tcl FLTK] extension allows for the development of GUI applications using Tcl commands in a manner similar to the Tk extension, but is considerably more economical in terms of code size. FLTK applications use a native interface to their host platforms, and consequently are typically faster than equivalent Tk application.

The FLTK library distribution is available from http://www.fltk.org. Users of the binary release of the FLTK extension for Tcl/Tk do not need to install the FLTK libraries as the extension is statically linked with the library.

The FLTK extension for Tcl/Tk comes with extensive documentation on how to use it to develop GUI applications. Example code in the distribution contains several useful scripts for things like the display of weather information and image animation. The current release of the extension is available at http://pages.infinit.net/cclients/software.htm

Some technical notes based on other work that I have done:

   * [Performance of networking applications]
   * [Using Windows Controls in Tk Windows]
   * [Tcl Socket Performance] Some test results on Tcl socket performance on different ethernet implementations.
   * [A Simple Solution to Bug Location]

Quite a few extensions that I have written for Tcl/Tk for my own use are available from my home page at: http://pages.infinit.net/cclients/software.htm

'''What: Grab'''

''Description: ''
General purpose window capture functionality for use with Tcl scripts under Windows, provided as a console command version.
Currently at version 1.0.

Does NOT use Tk and does no visualization. Currently at version 1.1. 

'''What: Variety of Windows extensions (Findleton)'''

''Description: ''
Currently available are extensions that support DDE (v 203),  Winhelp 2.0), printing (tkprint 1.1.6), frame animation, BMP creation, and an extension that does "everything" that DDEML does, including being able to write DDEML servers entirely in Tcl.

'''What: Containers'''
 
''Description: ''
Small Tcl extension that implements basic container objects, such  as bag, queue, tree, priority queue, random queue, struct, stack, hash, FIFO, LIFO, etc.  Code is in C++, using templates.
