# TIP 510: Add Rbc to Tk Author: René Zaumseil <[email protected]> State: Draft Type: Project Vote: Done Created: 5-Jun-2018 Post-History: Keywords: Tk ................................................................................ Votes-Present: BG Vote-Comments: code not yet ready, needs porting to macOS; alternate might be to just co-distribute, just as TDBC is with Tcl ----- # Abstract *Rbc* aka "Refactored BLT Components" provides some widgets which are missing in *Tk*. This TIP intends to add *Rbc* in the same way as *Ttk* to *Tk*. # Rationale *Tk* has already adopted some of *BLT/Rbc* commands. Still missing are the widgets. *Rbc* is available on sourceforge and github, but the development is stalled. Modernizing *Rbc* and including it in *Tk* will give some great new widgets. Using the same approach like in *Ttk* will give results in very short time. There is also less risk because *Rbc* is already used in different projects. # Specification C-source code will be put in `.../generic/rbc/` Tcl-source code will be put in `.../library/rbc/` Test files will be put in `.../tests/rbc/` The *Rbc* files will be added to the makefiles. The call to the `Rbc_Init()` function will be added in tkWindow.c ## Platform Compatibility Initially, there will not be support for macOS when not using X11 for rendering. _This is an interim situation stemming from the Rbc developers being unable to target that platform when writing code; implementation there will be welcome and authorized under this TIP._ # Discussion Which commands should be included? - **vector**: needed for graph - **graph**: curve display widget - **stripchart**: - **barchart**: - **busy**: not needed, because we already have **tk busy** - **winop**: not needed; only functionality not duplicated is **winop snap** Should there be a special switch to enable compiling and including *Rbc*? Should we change *Rbc* to some other name to prevent name clashes? Should we export a C-interface? See also discussion at the [wiki](http://wiki.tcl.tk/55360). # Implementation A patch implementing these changes will be available in the fossil repository in the [tip-510 branch](https://core.tcl.tk/tk/timeline?r=tip-510). Test/Documentation updates not yet done. # Alternatives - Rewrite new tk widgets with code of rbc # Copyright This document has been placed in the public domain. |

# TIP 510: Add Rbc and Tkpath widgets to Tk Author: René Zaumseil <[email protected]> State: Draft Type: Project Vote: Done Created: 5-Jun-2018 Post-History: Keywords: Tk ................................................................................ Votes-Present: BG Vote-Comments: code not yet ready, needs porting to macOS; alternate might be to just co-distribute, just as TDBC is with Tcl ----- # Abstract [Rbc][] aka "Refactored [BLT][] Components" have graph widgets and Tk commands which are missing in *Tk*. [Tkpath][] is a 2D-canvas like widget modelled after [SVG][]. This TIP intends to add the following command to Tk: **rbc::graph**, **rbc::stripchart** and **rbc::barchart** as **graph** > To get the original functionality a *-style* option will be added. This option can only be set on creation time. **rbc::vector** as **graph::vector** > The vector is currently only used inside the graph widget. The namespace hidden version leaves room for a first class command with the same name. **rbc::winop snap** as **tk snap** > Only the snap functionality is needed here. The busy command already exists as "tk busy" :) **tkp::canvas** as **path** > The new path widget will contain the [SVG][] like items and an additional **window** item to include other windows. Support functions will be placed in the **::path** namespace. # Rationale ## Rbc commands *Tk* has already adopted some of [BLT][]/[Rbc][] commands. Still missing are the above mentioned commands. [Rbc][] is available on sourceforge and github, but the development is stalled. [BLT][], the orignal source, is at sourceforge. The author G. Howlett makes sporadic changes. Then there are large times without activity. It is not possible to estimate when a new version will be ready. Modernizing [Rbc][] and including it in *Tk* will give some great new widgets. There is also less risk because [Rbc][] is already used in different projects. ## Tkpath The original developer of [Tkpath][] passed away. There are some mirrors, but with no real development. More information could be found on <https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/tkpath>. The intent of [Tkpath][] was to substitute the *Tk* canvas. This leads to problems with advanced features (matrix transformations). Therefore the new **path** widget will only contain [SVG][] like items. The only exception is the **window** item. This item is necessary to embed other widgets. # Specification ## Files - C-source code will be put in `.../generic/rbc/` - `rcb*.[ch]` graph widget and vector command - `tk*.[ch]` tkpath widget - Tcl-source code will be put in `.../library/` - [`graph.tcl`](https://core.tcl.tk/tk/doc/tip-510/library/graph.tcl) graph widget bindings - [`path.tcl`](https://core.tcl.tk/tk/doc/tip-510/library/path.tcl) path widget helper function under **::path** - Documentaion files will be put in `.../doc/` - [`graph.n.md`](https://core.tcl.tk/tk/doc/tip-510/doc/graph.n.md) graph widget documentation - [`vector.n.md`](https://core.tcl.tk/tk/doc/tip-510/doc/vector.n.md) graph::vector command documentation - [`path.n.md`](https://core.tcl.tk/tk/doc/tip-510/doc/path.n.md) path widget documentation - Test files will be put in `.../tests/rbc/` - [`graph.test`](https://core.tcl.tk/tk/doc/tip-510/tests/rbc/graph.test) graph widget tests - [`graph_vector.test`](https://core.tcl.tk/tk/doc/tip-510/tests/rbc/graph_vector.test) graph::vector command tests - [`path.test`](https://core.tcl.tk/tk/doc/tip-510/tests/rbc/path.test) path widget tests The new files are added to the makefiles. The calls to the initialization functions are in tkWindow.c ## ::oo::class widgets The new widgets **graph** and **path** are implemented as **oo::class**. This will make it easy to extent the functionality. As an example see the file `.../library/graph.tcl` in which the method **binding** of the **graph** widget is implemented. ## C Interface Alle new functionality is in the two header files [`rbcInt.h`](https://core.tcl.tk/tk/doc/tip-510/generic/rbc/rbcInt.h) and [`tkPathInt.h`]((https://core.tcl.tk/tk/doc/tip-510/generic/rbc/tkPathInt.h). No functionality is currently exported. # Discussion See also discussion at the [wiki](http://wiki.tcl.tk/55360). A first voting was rejected, mostly because of the missing Mac implementation. See: <http://code.activestate.com/lists/tcl-core/20357/> <http://code.activestate.com/lists/tcl-core/20368/> and with some analysis from Donal: <http://code.activestate.com/lists/tcl-core/20384/> # Open issues - Mac implementation of **graph** widget. May be borrow code from **path** - Remove or change old code in `generic/rbc/rbc*` files <http://code.activestate.com/lists/tcl-core/20384/> - Hardcoded usage of compiler and libraries in [`win/Makefile.in`](https://core.tcl.tk/tk/doc/tip-510/win/Makefile.in), [`win/makefile.vc`](https://core.tcl.tk/tk/doc/tip-510/win/makefile.vc) and [`unix/Makefile.in`](https://core.tcl.tk/tk/doc/tip-510/unix/Makefile.in) (search for "#RZ TODO"). - Add **path** files in Mac implementation. It works at least in [Androwish][]. - Which platforms should be used in **path** - SDL/AGG: platform independent, more work is needed using [`tkSDLAGGPath.cpp`](https://core.tcl.tk/tk/doc/tip-510/generic/rbc/tkSDLAGGPath.cpp). See in [Androwish][] - GDI+ on Windows => working with [`tkWinGDIPlusPath.cpp`](https://core.tcl.tk/tk/doc/tip-510/generic/rbc/`tkWinGDIPlusPath.cpp) - Cairo on unix => working with [`tkUnixCairoPath.c`](https://core.tcl.tk/tk/doc/tip-510/generic/rbc/tkUnixCairoPath.c) - For Mac see [`tkMacOSXPath.c`](https://core.tcl.tk/tk/doc/tip-510/generic/rbc/tkMacOSXPath.c) - Provide demos - Add more **path** tests - Is it necessary to translate the documentation into man format? - It is currently not possible to use unique abbreviations of slass method names p.e. "graph .g; .g conf" A workaround would be to add all those method names. May be this can be solved in tcl::oo directly? Any help especially with the Mac implementation would be great! And could please look someone with `configure` foo at the Makefile's # Implementation A patch implementing these changes is available in the fossil repository in the [tip-510 branch](https://core.tcl.tk/tk/timeline?r=tip-510). Test files are available in the .../tests/rbc/ directory. Documentation is available in md-Format in the .../doc/ directory. # Alternatives - Wait on new [BLT][]. - Develop widgets in extensions. # Copyright This document has been placed in the public domain.
