3wish: Distributed [incr Tcl] Extensions for Physical-World Interfaces

The creation of physical-world interfaces seamlessly integrated with the physical environment poses new implementation and interface challenges for the Tcl language. 3wish is a suite of [incr Tcl] class libraries and C/C++ extensions which supports user interfaces integrating distributed physical sensors, displays, and 3D graphics. The poster presents an overview of 3wish, its application to ph...

Iclient/Iserver: Distributed Objects using [incr Tcl]

Extending Tcl for Dynamic Object-Oriented Programming

Object Tcl is an extension to the Tool Command Language (Tcl) for the management of complicated data types and dynamic object-oriented programming in general. We believe it is a worthy alternative to other object-oriented programming extensions (including [incr Tcl]) because it may be used dynamically, allows for per object specialization, has an economy of design and implementation, and provid...

Taming the Complexity of Distributed Multimedia Applications

The Medusa environment for networked multimedia uses Tcl to compose applications out of low-level processing blocks called modules. A medium-sized application such as a two way multistream videophone already uses around one hundred interworking modules, running in parallel on several host machines. This paper shows how we overcome the inherent complexity of such applications: to deal with paral...

InvenTcl: Interpretive 3D graphics using Open Inventor and Tcl/Tk/[incr Tcl]

Open Inventor is an object oriented 3D graphics toolkit written in C++. Because Open Inventor is written in C++, typical user code development consists of a program/compile/debug iteration cycle. This paper introduces InvenTcl which is an interpretive version of Open Inventor using Tcl/Tk [4] and [incr Tcl] [3]. The advantages of InvenTcl include: script-able and direct manipulation of 3D objec...
