Purpose: to discuss the GUI editing program specTcl ---- Not to be confused with NSCL SpecTcl [http://sourceforge.net/projects/nsclspectcl/] This link doesn't work [http://www.nscl.msu.edu/~fox/SpecTcl/index.htm] This one does [http://docs.nscl.msu.edu/daq/spectcl/]. ---- ''''Someone''' wrote: [Stephen Uhler] originally designed SpecTcl to generate Perl and Java source, also. ---- However, [Larry Virden] doesn't recall the original SpecTcl being designed to generate Perl and Java source. What he recalls is that after specTcl came out, [Mark Kvale] from the perl/Tk community made the patches for perl support and later [Stephen Uhler] announced the availability of specJava; Larry is just uncertain who wrote the specJava code. Also Larry's been known to have lapses of memory before :-0 ... ---- [Jacob Levy] 11/15/2002 [Stephen Uhler] did write SpecTcl when we were together at Sun Labs' SunScript business unit. ---- In April 2001, [Morten Skaarup Jensen] plans to move SpecTcl to SourceForge [http://spectcl.sourceforge.net]. In the meantime, [Mark Kvale] maintains information about SpecTcl (including SpecPerl and SpecRuby) at [http://www.keck.ucsf.edu/~kvale/specperl.html]. ---- What: Menu Edit tool Where: ftp://www.tcl.tk/pub/tcl/misc/menued09.tar.gz Description: GUI interface to edit menus. Runs stand alone and will be a plugin for SpecTcl in the future. Updated: 08/1998 Contact: mailto:ken@kencorey.com (Ken Corey) What: SpecTcl/SpecJava/specPerl Where: http://spectcl.sourceforge.net/ ftp://www.tcl.tk/pub/tcl/guitools/ http://www.keck.ucsf.edu/%7Ekvale/specperl.html ftp://ftp.python.org/pub/python/contrib/Graphics/Tkinter/spectcl2py.py http://ftp.digital.com/pub/plan/python/contrib/Graphics/Tkinter/SpecPython-0.1.tar.gz Description: GUI builder for Tcl/Tk. Supports WYSIWYG drag and drop interface, ability to support new Tk widgets automatically, with simple access to generated code. The licensing for SpecTcl 1.1 is similar to Tcl/Tk core. The the source is available and the product is free. No future releases are planned, and no support is available from Sun. Documentation in PostScript and PDF format are available. Versions for Unix, Windows and Macintosh are available. specJava is also distributed with the package. This application uses the same user interface, but generates Java instead of Tcl/Tk. specPerl is a set of add-on files by Mark Kvale that allow Perl/Tk code to be generated by the same interface, after installing pTk. It requires specTcl 1.1, pTk 4.02.002 and perl 5. The python URL is a Python script to convert SpecTcl tcl output to Python Tkinter format. The Digital URL is to code which creates a specPython executable which is compatible with SpecTcl 1.0 or SpecJava 0.3. SpecTcl is now at version 1.2a3 . Updated: 10/2001 Contact: mailto:SpecTcl@tcl.eng.sun.com mailto:kvale@ivy.ucsf.edu What: Spectix Where: http://starship.python.net/crew/mike/Spectix/ http://starship.python.net/crew/mike/src/Spectix/Spectix.html Description: Development environment to build GUI applications that run cross platform. Design GUIs interactively and graphically. Based on SpecTcl, and using Tix widgets. Generates code for Tcl/Tk, Perl/Tk, Python/Tkinter, and Ruby. Currently at version 1.4 . Updated: 02/2002 Contact: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=142715 Tue 07:22, 2003-01-28: The Java code has now been updated to run with the latest version of java. The latest additions are in the CVS. Any info about the new Java code can be given by me, Daryl Moulder (dmoulder@myrealbox.com). [HJG] 2005-11-11 I installed and briefly tested the 'old' SpecTcl 1.1. SpecTcl installs a minimal Tcl 8.0 'for its own use', without checking for an existing installation of Tcl, and registers wish80.exe for *.tcl. As a sideeffect, all tcl-scripts using recent features (8.1 - 8.4)cease to run... ---- [Category Application] | [Category Dev. Tools]
