Tcl/Tk in A Nutshell

The Tcl language and Tk graphical toolkit are simple and powerful building blocks for custom applications. The Tcl/Tk combination is increasingly popular because it lets you produce sophisticated graphical interfaces with a few easy commands, develop and change scripts quickly, and conveniently tie together existing utilities or programming libraries. One of the attractive features of Tcl/Tk is the wide variety of commands, many offering a wealth of options. You'll find that a command or option probably exists to provide just what you need. This valuable quick reference briefly describes every command and option in the core Tcl/Tk distribution, as well as the most popular extensions. Keep this book on your desk as you write scripts, and you'll be able to find almost instantly the particular option you need. Covers: core Tcl and Tk commands and Tk widgets, C interface (prototypes), Expect, [incr Tcl] and [incr Tk], Tix, TclX, BLT, Oratcl, SybTcl, and Tclodbc. more
