Guided Tour

Welcome to the Guided Tour of Tcl/Tk Apps

This page has had 6903 visitors so far.

Some of what you see here was written at Lick Observatory. Other applications are from other sites. Some are standalone, others are 'glue' holding complex suites together. What they have in common is the language: Tcl/Tk.

All the pages in this subWeb whose URL ends in mumble.cgi were created using CGI-Tcl, a Tcl-only (no C source) library for dynamic Web page creation. CGI-Tcl is the work of Don Libes. Check out the source for any of these pages to see how concise and readable CGI-Tcl can be compared to raw HTML, or to other methods of dynamic Web authoring.

This Web is divided into a few major topics:

• CGI-Tcl Demo Pages Don Libes' CGI-Tcl demos (local copy)
• Database Apps - a discussion of Tcl as a database applications language, with example problems and code: includes reports, extracts, GUI, Web/DB applications.
• Knowledge Base - a knowledge-based applications suite for realtime instrument control
• Papers and Documents - papers and documents related to our use of Tcl/Tk
• Development Tools - some discussion of the tools we use for code management, document construction, etc.
• Tcl Extensions - a brief list of some useful Tcl extensions and how to get them
• Specialized Tcl/Tk Apps - some special-purpose Tcl and Tk tools that we use in our research (CCD test/package, image processing, etc.)
• General Tcl/Tk Apps - some general-purpose Tcl and Tk tools, like calendar, debugger, mail tool, TODO manager, etc.
• Anonymous FTP -- a short list of relevant things you can get from us via anonymous FTP.
