(Lajr) on March 4th 2007. Some say Tcl-Tk, being written in C, is in fact nothing but a bunch of C macros. The same can be said about any high-level language programmed in C (Python, Perl, Ruby to name a few). In fact, since C is written in Assembly, we can also say that C is nothing but a bunch of Assembly macros. Assembly is in fact the only programming language that has a direct accesss to the computer's parts. ([VK] not true, C is written in C, and it do have direct access to computer's part) This being said, like Tcl/Tk, [WxWidgets] is a program that enables programmers to code C applications quickly, efficiently with a few keystrokes. Sounds familiar? Thus, Wx Widgets has certain characteristics of Tcl-Tk. How does Wx Widgets scale with Tcl-Tk? Is it easier, harder to code with? Is it faster, more efficient? Any views? [RLH] Dunno...I do see the other languages moving away from Tk (tile may or may not help alleviate that) and moving towards wxWidgets. ---- [LV] Mar 05, 2007 In general, Tk/Ttk and other X toolkits don't interact trivially. I don't recall anyone doing any briding work so that one could trivially make use of the various X toolkits. That might be a great thesis project! [VK] Title of the page promises a comparision of two approaches to GUI. (widget set, cross-platform-ness, availability to use from other languages, extensibility, megawidgets, ability to create independent distribution). Why it is not here? ''[escargo]'' - The question is easier to ask than to answer. [RLH] Yes it is. ---- [Category GUI]
