The Linux Tcl and Tk HOWTO
v0.2, 07 November 1998
This document describes the Linux approach to Tcl, a scripting langua
ge.
It is an easy to learn interpreted language that uses a typeless approach to
achieve a higher level of programming and a rapid application development.
The Tk toolkit is a programming environment for creating graphical user interf
aces
(GUI) under X Window System. Their capabilities include the possibility to
extend and embed in other application, rapid development and ease of use. Toge
ther,
Tcl and Tk provide many benefits both to application developer and user. Tk-ba
sed
interfaces tend to be much more customizable and dynamic than those built with
one of the C or C++ based toolkits. Tk implements the Motif look and feel.
A great number of interesting X applications are implemented entirely in Tk,
with no new application-specific commands at all.
