TkFX is a potential successor to [Swank]. The Swank tookit is a Tk style interface to the [Java] [Swing] widgets that works with [JTcl]. Together Swank and JTcl are the Java analogs of Tcl and Tk. [Swing], while it will probably be around for quite a few years yet, is not likely to see much more development by [Oracle]. Most Java related GUI development by [Oracle] is now directed towards http://javafx.com%|%Java FX%|%. TkFX is currently an experiment in building a Java GUI tookit for JTcl based on JavaFX instead of Swing. Much of the code of Swank was written using JTcl scripts that generate Java code. I, [swankguy], have begun changing that code to generate Java code that uses the JavaFX API. As of 16 Oct 2011 the following Tk commands basically work: [button], [entry], [toplevel], [grid], [raise], [lower], and [wm]. Also supported is a "webview" and "htmleditor" tool. The webview command creates a JavaFX WebView widget, which itself embeds a http://www.webkit.org/%|%WebKit%|% based web viewer. The htmleditor command creates a widget for text editing, where the underlying text is HTML, based on the JavaFX HTMLEditor widget. The following example code: ====== package require java java::load com.onemoonscientific.swank.WidgetExt toplevel . raise . button .b -text Load -command {.w load $url} entry .e -textvariable url webview .w grid .b -row 0 -column 0 grid .e -row 0 -column 1 grid columnconfigure . 0 -minsize 50 grid .w -row 1 -column 0 -columnspan 2 after 200 wm geometry . "" wm title . "TkFx WebView Example" ====== creates the following window (after also typing in the URL and clicking Load) [TkFX Example] [NEM] 2011-10-16 This is simply awesome. Congratulations on the great work. TkFX is essentially at version 0.0. Source code will be released under the BSD license as used by Tcl, JTcl and Swank, once I reach 0.1. <> Java|GUI|Swank|Package
