Updated: Contact: (Toru Shiono) What: Suchenwirth's Tcl code Where: Description: Richard has written a number of Wiki pages, pointed to by the supplied URL. He covers code to detect or prevent a proc from being redefined, a discussion of Lamda procs in Tcl, a variety of algorithms implemented in Tcl and Tcl/Tk (which include a simple balloon help, integer list generation, a cursor name function, an integer to english/french/german name translater, Unix file mode in letter notation (rwxr--r--), fraction math, greatest common denominator, ip address, unix ls proc, simple mail sender, max and min functions, morse code encoder/decoder, converting numbers to commas, randomly selecting items from list, Roman numeral conversion to and from integers, widget scrollbar decorator, stack operations on lists) ISO country and language codes to English, unit converters, adding Tcl minor subcommands to commands, neat Tcl syntactic tricks that can be added using the unknown proc, a keyboard widget which displays rows of buttons representing the various characters to be inserted - particularly useful for Unicode special character input, a Tk pane widget, xbutton - a text and image button megawidget, set of 7 bit ASCII input to Unicode string conversions using a variety of targe languages (Arabic, Greek, Korean Hangul, Hebrew, Japanese, and Russian), Tcl tally gadget (used for counting strings, words, etc.), Tcl 8.3 code which auto-detects UTF-16 by BOM in the first line and reads the file into a string variable, example of plain Tcl with Tk like calling style, examples of APL like functionality in pure Tcl scripts, code and discussion of base 64 encoding, code for doing syntactic parsing, code to allow embedding C code directly into your C scripts and have your program write the code to a file, compile and then execute it, series of demos animating a train, moving scenery, various sprites moving in the background, etc. . Contact continues to write more code each day - just stop by the web pages to see the latest list. Updated: 07/1999 Contact: What: text widget replacement Where: Description: Drop in replacement for Tk 4's text widget. Provides all of the normal text widget functionality, along with a text annotation type of 'block' (aka textblocks), which allow geometry management over the text within the rows of the block. Allows one to do things like fractions, radicals, labeled equations, editable buttons, etc. Also supports arbitrary lines drawn within its text box. Doc on the new text widget can be found at Version 1.6.3 now available. Updated: 12/1998 Contact: (Ilya Zakharevich) What: TMath Where: Description: An extension to Tcl that allows Tcl to control MATLAB and Mathematica processes and to evaluate MATLAB and Mathematica commands, either through scripts or interactive sessions. TMath does not use pipes, but instead the MATLAB Engine interface and the Mathematica MathLink protocol. Updated: 07/1997 Contact: (Brian L.
