Hi John,
thanks for your mail. I just went the Tkinter route because I was
interested in how the whole tcl based GUI works. It was an easy way for
me to try it out.
I'm interested in tcl because I make music in my spare time with Pure
data which has also a tcl based GUI.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_Data
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data
Pure Data also has a plugin to call external Python scripts:
https://github.com/grrrr/py
So I'm just experimenting a bit, learning tcl and how both ascend and
pure data work in regard to their tcl interfaces.
And maybe I will some day in the future be able to spin out a general
interface for both ascend and pure data.
There are some articles I've found where one could also think of doing
this with PyGObject:
https://www.tcl.tk/community/tcl2017/assets/talk85/Paper.pdf
https://jefftrull.github.io/eda/qt/tcl/eventloop/2012/05/25/integrating-qt-tcl-event-loops.html
https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/threading.html
It's also just a little side project where I can learn how ascend worked
back then when the Carnegie Mellon folks were working on it. I feel a
bit like a software archaeologist when diving into the tcl code which is
quite fun. ;)
Right now I'm stuck with "couldn't find procedure Color_Init". And I
can't find it myself in which file this procedure ought to be.
Searching through the whole trunk branch gave no results: $ grep -Ril
Color_Init *
Cheers,
mark

Hi Mark
Apologies for the delay in my reply. I 'recently' removed that
interval.c stuff from trunk as part of my attempt to clean up libascend
and increase the test suite coverage, forgetting that it was used in
the
Tcl/Tk GUI. However rather than deleting the files, I moved them to the
'disused/compiler' folder. I should perhaps copy them back from there
back into trunk/ascend/compiler in order to preserve file history.
http://code.ascend4.org/ascend?view=revision&revision=3408
Regarding the Tcl/Tk GUI, that GUI still compiles/runs in trunk using
regular Tcl/Tk (not TkInter), when building with SCons. Did you try
that
route? The starting point is the script tcltk/asc4dev, which will be
built by SCons if all required dependencies are met.
It's very interesting that you were able to run the GUI via Python and
TkInter, but I am wondering what you feel would be the benefit would be
of maintaining such an approach, as opposed to the Python-free Tcl/Tk
GUI that is currently built (although rarely testing, I have to admit,
as evidenced by the missing interval.c file that you noticed).
Cheers
JP

Dear all,
I found some time and wrapped the legacy tcl code with TkInter to
relive the old ASCEND interface.
I made a wiki page for this:
http://ascend4.org/TkInter_wrapper_for_tcl/tk_GUI
There was an issue with tktable which I couldn't fix and also found
this bug report which might actually not be resolved:
http://bugs.ascend4.org/view.php?id=254
see also: https://github.com/nbro/tktable/issues/3
Also the trunk branch was missing the interval.c and interval.h files
in ascend/compiler/.
I copied the files over from the Python3 branch and then the issue was
solved
In line 138 in solver.tcl the - bitmap {feet} and -bitmap{stop}
options couldn't find the bitmaps in ascend/tcltk/tk/bitmaps.
Cheers,
mark
