ProTcXl 2.0

Appeared in Volume 9/2, May 1996

Keywords: GUIs.

ProTcXl (pronounced pro-tixel, formerly ProTcl) is a Prolog interface to the Tcl/Tk toolkit and the Xlib X11 library. It supports the following features:

the execution of Tcl/Tk commands in Prolog and the building of GUI interfaces for constraint solvers
the execution of Prolog predicates in Tcl/Tk, using both Tcl and Prolog syntax
the handling of Tk events in Prolog
the use of Tcl/Tk extensions
the invocation of Xlib functions directly from Prolog

The release contains a user manual, with many examples and an introduction to Tcl/Tk for beginners.

ProTcl was originally a generic Prolog interface to Tcl/Tk. However, most of the new features, including the Xlib interface, are only available in ECLiPSe.
