Description
This is a binding of the Tcl language to the Motif widgets.
Tcl is an interpreted language originally intended
for use as a command language for other applications. It
has been used for that, but has also become useful as a
language in its own right.
The standard set of widgets in the X world is now the
Motif set. This forms a large set of widgets, and these
have been through a large amount of development over the
last five years. Use of this set is sometimes a requirement
by busineses, and other widget sets try to conform to
them in appearance and behaviour.
This system allows the programmer to use the Motif widgets
instead of the Tk widgets from Tcl programs. This
increases programmer choices, and allows comparison of the
features of both Tcl and the Tk/Motif style of widget programming.
The binding gives the full set of Motif widgets,
accessible through the simple interpreted Tcl language.
