TkDVI: DVI Previewing with Tcl and Tk
نویسنده
چکیده
Application-level scripting is a powerful method for structuring software. This paper introduces TkDVI, a TEX DVI previewer based on the Tcl/Tk scripting language and graphics toolkit. After a brief introduction to Tcl/Tk, we present the design and major components of the previewer, pointing out the specific advantages gained by using Tcl/Tk. A number of extensions and future projects is also discussed.

متن کاملTcl/tk for a Personal Digital Assistant
This paper reports on the experience of providing Tcl/Tk for the ParcTab, a personal digital assistant built at Xerox PARC. The primary reason for supporting an extension language like Tcl/Tk for a PDA is to supply the same platform-independent infrastructure for user interface design and communication between the PDA and remote applications. The result was that Tcl/Tk enabled rapid prototyping...
متن کاملExtending Traces with OAT: An Object Attribute Trace Package for Tcl/Tk
Tcl supports variable traces, which associate arbitrary scripts with variable reads, writes and unsets. We developed OAT (Object Attribute Traces), a protocol for extending traces to attributes of arbitrary Tcl “objects.” We wrote several OAT-based extensions including TkOAT, which provides traces on attributes of Tk widgets and canvas items. The OAT protocol and derived extensions bring the be...

We discuss our use of Tcl/Tk to provide software support for telecommunications Integrated Circuits (ICs). Our Windows-based Advanced Computer Interface (WinACIF) program works in concert with reconfigurable hardware based on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) to provide essential coordination in laboratory data collection and analysis of a device under test. WinACIF replaces several MS-DOS...
