Summary : Object-oriented mega-widgets for Tcl.
|
Description :
[incr Tcl] is an object-oriented extension of the Tcl language and was created to support more structured programming in Tcl. Tcl scripts longer than a few thousand lines become extremely difficult to maintain because the building blocks of vanilla Tcl are procedures and global variables. All of these building blocks must reside in a single global namespace and there is no support for protection or encapsulation.
To help out with this problem, [incr Tcl] introduces the notion of objects. Each object is a bag of data with a set of procedures or \"methods\" that are used to manipulate it. Objects are organized into \"classes\" with identical characteristics, and classes can inherit functionality from one another. This object-oriented paradigm adds another level of organization on top of the basic variable/procedure elements, and the resulting code is easier to understand and maintain.
Install itcl if you\'re programming with Tcl, and you need the object-oriented functionality that [incr Tcl] can provide.
