I was not sure whether the list of items included: 'Intel Macs, Tcl/Tk 8.6.6 X11 libraries and Texinfo 5.2' was missing a comma between 8.6.6 and X11 libraries or conversely that TCL/Tk 8.6.6 was supposed to indicate a particular version of Quartz.

A funny cookbook[edit]

This funny little program produces random cooking recipes. Small as it is, it can produce 900 different recipes, though they might not be to everybody's taste.. The basic idea is to pick an arbitrary element from a list, which is easily done in Tcl with the following:

This is used several times in:

And as modern programs always need a GUI, here is a minimal one that appears when you source this file at top level, and shows a new recipe every time you click on it:

A little A/D clock[edit]

This is a clock that shows time either analog or digital - just click on it to toggle.

A little pie chart[edit]

Arc elements of a canvas are by default rendered as pie slices (part of the circumference of a circle, connected by radius lines to the center. Hence it s rather easy to produce a pie chart. The following code is a bit more complex, as it also determines positions for the labels of the pies:

Testing:

A little 3D bar chart[edit]

The following script displays a bar chart on a canvas, with pseudo-3-dimensional bars - a rectangle in front as specified, embellished with two polygons - one for the top, one for the side:}

For a more plastic look, the fill color of the polygons is reduced in brightness ('dimmed'):

Draw a simple scale for the y axis, and return the scaling factor:

An interesting sub-challenge was to round numbers very roughly, to 1 or maximally 2 significant digits - by default rounding up, add '-' to round down:

So here is my little bar chart generator. Given a canvas pathname, a bounding rectangle, and the data to display (a list of {name value color} triples), it figures out the geometry. A gray 'ground plane' is drawn first. Note how negative values are tagged with 'd'(eficit), so they look like they 'drop through the plane'.

Generally useful helper functions:

Testing the whole thing (see screenshot):

A little calculator[edit]

Here is a small calculator in Tcl/Tk. In addition to the buttons on screen, you can use any of expr's other functionalities via keyboard input.

And, as Cameron Laird noted, this thingy is even programmable: enter for example

into the entry, disregard warnings; now you can do

and receive [fac 10] = 3628800.0 as result..

A little slide rule[edit]

The slide rule was an analog, mechanical device for approximate engineering computing, made obsolete by the pocket calculator since about the 1970-80s. The basic principle is that multiplication is done by adding logarithms, hence most of the scales are logarithmic, with uneven increments.

This fun project recreates a slide rule (roughly an Aristo-Rietz Nr. 89 with 7 scales - high-notch ones had up to 24) with a white 'body' and a beige 'slide' which you can move left or right with mouse button 1 clicked, or in pixel increment with the <Shift-Left>/<Shift-Right> cursor keys. Finally, the blue line represents the 'mark' (how is that correctly called? 'runner'? 'slider'?) which you can move with the mouse over the whole thing to read a value. Fine movements with <Left>/<Right>.

Due to rounding errors (integer pixels), this plaything is even less precise than a physical slide rule was, but maybe you still enjoy the memories.. The screenshot shows how I found out that 3 times 7 is approx. 21.. (check the A and B scales).

A minimal doodler[edit]

Here is a tiny but complete script that allows doodling (drawing with the mouse) on a canvas widget:

And here it comes again, but this time with explanations:

Isuzu c201 engine manual. The 'Application Program Interface' (API) for this, if you want such ceremonial language, is the doodle command, where you specify which canvas widget should be enabled to doodle, and in which color (defaults to black):}

It registers two bindings for the canvas, one (<1>) when the left mouse-button is clicked, and the other when the mouse is moved with button 1 (left) down. Both bindings just call one internal function each.

On left-click, a line item is created on the canvas in the specified fill color, but with no extent yet, as start and end points coincide. The item ID (a number assigned by the canvas) is kept in a global variable, as it will have to persist long after this procedure has returned:

The left-motion procedure obtains the coordinates (alternating x and y) of the globally known doodling line object, appends the current coordinates to it, and makes this the new cooordinates - in other words, extends the line to the current mouse position:

That's all we need to implement doodling - now let's create a canvas to test it, and pack it so it can be drawn as big as you wish:

And this line turns on the doodle functionality created above (defaulting to black):

Add a binding for double-right-click/double-button-3, to clear the canvas (added by MG, Apr 29 04)

A tiny drawing program[edit]

Here is a tiny drawing program on a canvas. Radio buttons on top allow choice of draw mode and fill color. In 'Move' mode, you can of course move items around. Right-click on an item to delete it.

A radio is an obvious 'megawidget' to hold a row of radiobuttons. This simple one allows text or color mode: }

Depending on draw mode, the mouse events 'Down' and 'Motion' have different handlers, which are dispatched by names that look like array elements. So for a mode X, we need a pair of procs, down(X) and move(X). Values used between calls are kept in global variables.

First, the handlers for free-hand line drawing:

Polygons are drawn by clicking the corners. When a corner is close enough to the first one, the polygon is closed and drawn.

For saving the current image, you need the Img extension, so just omit the following binding if you don't have Img:

A minimal editor[edit]

Here's an utterly simple editor, in 26 lines of code, which just allows to load and save files, and of course edit, and cut and paste, and whatever is built-in into the text widget anyway. And it has a bit 'online help'.. ;-)

It is always a good idea to start a source file with some explanations on the name, purpose, author, and date. I have recently picked up the habit to put this information into a string variable (which in Tcl can easily span multiple lines), so the same info is presented to the reader of the source code, and can be displayed as online help: }

The visible part of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) consists of widgets. For this editor, I of course need a text widget, and a vertical scrollbar. With the option '-wrap word' for the text widget, another horizontal scrollbar is not needed - lines longer than the window just wrap at word boundaries.

Tk widgets come on the screen in two steps: first, they are created with an initial configuration; then, handed to a 'geometry manager' for display. As widget creation commands return the pathname, they can be nested into the manager command (pack in this case), to keep all settings for a widget in one place. This may lead to over-long lines, though.

Although the scrollbar comes to the right of the text, I create and pack it first. The reason is that when a window is made smaller by the user, the widgets last packed first lose visibility.

These two lines also illustrate the coupling between a scrollbar and the widget it controls:

• the scrollbar sends a yview message to it when moved
• the widget sends a set message to the scrollbar when the view changed, for instance from cursor keys

And these two lines already give us an editor for arbitrarily long text, with built-in capabilities of cut, copy, and paste - see the text man page. Only file I/O has to be added by us to make it really usable.

Are you targetting 8.4 or later? If so, add -undo 1 to the options to text and get full undo/redo support!

The other important part of a GUI are the bindings - what event shall trigger what action. For simplicity, I've limited the bindings here to a few of the function keys on top of typical keyboards:

Online help is done with a no-frills tk_messageBox with the 'about' text defined at start of file. - The other bindings call custom commands, which get a filename argument from Tk's file selector dialogs:

These dialogs can also be configured in a number of ways, but even in this simple form they are quite powerful - allow navigation around the file system, etc. On Windows they call the native file selectors, which have a history of previously opened files, detail view (size/date etc.)

When this editor is called with a filename on the command line, that file is loaded on startup (simple as it is, it can only handle one file at a time):

The procedures for loading and saving text both start with a sanity check of the filename argument - if it's an empty string, as produced by file selector dialogs when the user cancels, they return immediately. Otherwise, they transfer file content to text widget or vice-versa. loadText adds the 'luxury' that the name of the current file is also put into the window title. Then it opens the file, clears the text widget, reads all file contents in one go, and puts them into the text widget.

saveText takes care not to save the extra newline that text widgets append at end, by limiting the range to 'end - 1 c'(haracter).

File watch[edit]

Some editors (e.g. PFE, MS Visual Studio) pop up an alert dialog when a file was changed on disk while being edited - that might lead to edit conflicts. Emacs shows a more subtle warning at the first attempt to change a file that has changed on disk.

Here I try to emulate this feature. It is oversimplified because it does not update the mtime (file modification time) to check, once you saved it from the editor itself. So make sure to call text'watch'file again after saving.

Using the global variable ::_twf it is at least possible to avoid false alarms - for a more serious implementation one might use a namespaced array of watchers, indexed by file name, in case you want multiple edit windows. }

The dialog should come up when you change the file externally, say by touch-ing it in pure Tcl, which might be done with editing it in another editor, or

Tiny presentation graphics[edit]

This is a crude little canvas presentation graphics that runs on PocketPCs, but also on bigger boxes (one might scale fonts and dimensions there). Switch pages with Left/Right cursor, or left/right mouseclick (though a stylus cannot right-click).

Not many features, but the code is very compact, and with a cute little language for content specification, see example at end (which shows what I presented at the 2003 Euro-Tcl convention in Nuremberg..)}

The rest is data - or is it code? Anyway, here's my show:

Timeline display[edit]

Yet another thing to do with a canvas: history visualisation of a horizontal time-line, for which a year scale is displayed on top. The following kinds of objects are so far available:

• 'eras', displayed in yellow below the timeline in boxes
• 'background items' that are grey and stretch over all the canvas in height
• normal items, which get displayed as stacked orange bars

You can zoom in with <1>, out with <3> (both only in x direction). On mouse motion, the current year is displayed in the toplevel's title. Normal items can be a single year, like the Columbus example, or a range of years, for instance for lifetimes of persons. (The example shows that Mozart didn't live long..)

This command adds an object to the canvas. The code for 'item' took me some effort, as it had to locate a free 'slot' on the canvas, searching top-down:

Here's a sample application, featuring a concise history of music in terms of composers:

These nifty shorthands for adding items make data specification a breeze - compare the original call, and the shorthand:

With an additional '!' argument you can make the text of an item bold:

Now for the data to display (written pretty readably):

Fun with functions[edit]

My teenage daughter hates math. In order to motivate her, I beefed up an earlier little function plotter which before only took one function, in strict Tcl (expr) notation, from the command line. Now there's an entry widget, and the accepted language has also been enriched: beyond exprs rules, you can omit dollar and multiplication signs, like 2x+1, powers can be written as x3 instead of ($x*$x*$x); in simple cases you can omit parens round function arguments, like sin x2. Hitting <Return> in the entry widget displays the function's graph.

If you need some ideas, click on the '?' button to cycle through a set of demo functions, from boring to bizarre (e.g. if rand() is used). Besides default scaling, you can zoom in or out. Moving the mouse pointer over the canvas displays x and y coordinates, and the display changes to white if you're on a point on the curve.

The target was not reached: my daughter still hates math. But at least I had hours of Tcl (and function) fun again, surfing in the Cartesian plane.. hope you enjoy it too!

Functional imaging[edit]

In Conal Elliott's Pan project ('Functional Image Synthesis', [1]), images (of arbitrary size and resolution) are produced and manipulated in an elegant functional way. Functions written in Haskell (see Playing Haskell) are applied, mostly in functional composition, to pixels to return their color value. FAQ: 'Can we have that in Tcl too?'

As the funimj demo below shows, in principle yes; but it takes some patience (or a very fast CPU) - for a 200x200 image the function is called 40000 times, which takes 9.48 seconds on my P200 box. Still, the output often is worth waiting for.. and the time used to write this code was negligible, as the Haskell original could with few modifications be represented in Tcl. Functional composition had to be rewritten to Tcl's Polish notation - Haskell's

(where 'o' is the composition operator) would in Tcl look like

As the example shows, additional arguments can be specified; only the last argument is passed through the generated 'function nest':

But the name of the generated function is much nicer than 'f': namely, the complete call to 'o' is used, so the example proc has the name

which is pretty self-documenting ;-) I implemented 'o' like this:

Basic imaging functions ('drawers') have the common functionality point -> color, where point is a pair {x y} (or, after applying a polar transform, {r a}..) and color is a Tk color name, like 'green' or #010203:

Beyond the examples in Conal Elliott's paper, I found out that function imaging can also be abused for a (slow and imprecise) function plotter, which displays the graph for y = f(x) if you call it with $y + f($x) as first argument:

Here is a combinator for two binary images that shows in different colors for which point both or either are 'true' - nice but slow:}

This painter colors a grayscale image in hues of the given color. It normalizes the given color through dividing by the corresponding values for 'white', but appears pretty slow too:

This proc caches the results of [winfo rgb] calls, because these are quite expensive, especially on remote X displays - rmax

Now comes the demo program. It shows the predefined basic image operators, and some combinations, on a button bar. Click on one, have some patience, and the corresponding image will be displayed on the canvas to the right. You can also experiment with image operators in the entry widget at bottom - hit <Return> to try. The text of sample buttons is also copied to the entry widget, so you can play with the parameters, or rewrite it as you wish. Note that a well-formed funimj composition consists of:

• the composition operator 'o'
• zero or more 'painters' (color -> color)
• one 'drawer' (point -> color)
• zero or more 'transformers' (point -> point)

}

Composed functions need only be mentioned once, which creates them, and they can later be picked up by info procs. The o looks nicely bullet-ish here.

TkPhotoLab[edit]

The following code can be used for experiments in image processing, including

• convolutions (see below)
• conversion from color to greylevel
• conversion from greylevel to faux color
• brightness and contrast modification

Tcl is not the fastest in heavy number-crunching, as needed when going over many thousands of pixels, but I wouldn't consider C for a fun project ;) So take your time, or get a real CPU. At least you can watch the progress, as the target image is updated after every row.

Edge enhancement by Laplace5 filter

The demo UI shows two images, the original on the left, the processing result on the right. You can push the result to the left with Options/Accept. See the menus for what goodies I have supplied. But what most interested me were 'convolutions', for which you can edit the matrix (fixed at 3x3 - slow enough.) and click 'Apply' to run it over the input image. 'C' to set the matrix to all zeroes.

Convolution is a technique where a target pixel is colored according to the sum of the product of a given matrix and its neighbors. As an example, the convolution matrix

colors the pixel in the middle with the average of itself and its eight neighbors, which will myopically blur the picture.

should just faithfully repeat the input picture. These

enhance {horizont,vertic}al edges, and make the image look 'crispier'. }

The following routines could also be generified into one:

An experiment in classifying graylevels into unreal colors:

A number of algorithms are very similar, distinguished only by a few commands in the center. Hence I made them generic, and they take a function name that is applied to every pixel rgb, resp. a pair of pixel rgb's. They are instantiated by an alias that sets the function fancily as a lambda:

A histogram is a count of which color value occurred how often in the current image, separately for red, green and blue. For graylevel images, the displayed 'curves' should exactly overlap, so you see only the blue dots that are drawn last.
