The name ''Visual Tcl'' is, unfortunately, such an obvious one that it has
been used by a few things.

Visual Tcl is one of a set of developer applications oriented towards easing the developing of the GUI portion of one's application.

See http://vtcl.sf.net/ for the application.

See http://sourceforge.net/projects/vtcl/ for download

Then, there is an ancient [SCO] toolkit known as Visual Tcl which had nothing to
do with vtcl the graphical building tool.

It was a product/extension which created a Motif [GUI] interface, as well as an ASCII interface for [CUI] programs.

[Clif Flynt] in the [Tcl chatroom] on 2003-06-27: "I've reworked some vtcl output. The script performance can be improved a lot by using 'option add' instead of all the -font xx -fg yy options in the widget creations."

[RLH]: Is Visual Tcl from http://vtcl.sourceforge.net still being maintained? It is a really nice UI builder.

[LV] Tthere has been mailing list discussions on the site.  But I don't know
how much maintaining has been done.  But then, if it works properly, there won't be a need
for a lot of fixes.
----

06/08/04 [DC] - Visual Tcl is not currently being actively maintained as the two developers who were working on it have moved on.  Christian Gavin moved on to pursue other interests, and I lost interest in maintaining vTcl in its current form.  I have, however, begun work on a rewrite of vTcl that will appear eventually as '''Tk Designer'''.  I'm renaming and rewriting the code so as to get out from under the GPL license.  This may happen a lot quicker if I can get the permission of the copyright holder (Stuart Allen) to change the license to BSD, which is my ultimate goal.

[HJG] 2005-11-11: It looks like work on vtcl has resumed: http://vtcl.sourceforge.net/?x=news

[RLH] Well what do you know!
----
[TV] Hopefully not adding confusion for some applications [bwise] is a visual way of using tcl.
