Version 3 of TIP 510: Add Rbc to Tk

This page is for discussion of Tip 510

See also Rbc here.


Which commands should be included?

  • vector: needed for graph
  • graph: curve display widget
  • stripchart:
  • barchart:
  • busy: not needed, because we already have tk busy
  • winop: Is there anything here that is absent from plain Tk except winop snap? As other extensions have similar things, it might be better to do that one thing as a core addition to Tk (separate TIP) and leave this whole command out.

Should there be a special switch to enable compiling and including Rbc?


Should we change Rbc to some other name to prevent name clashes?


How should we integrate Rbc?

  • separately like ttk widgets (command=rbc::graph C-sources under generic/rbc/)
  • directly add to tk (command=graph, C-source=tkGraph.c, ..)

Should we export a C-interface?
