- Perl/Tk FAQ part 5 of 5 - Miscellany
- ************************************
-
-
-
- ______________________________________________________________________
-
-
-
- 19. How do I "clear the screen"?
-
- What screen are you trying to clear?
-
- If you are trying to clear a tty (e.g. xterm) screen then try either of the
- following within your script:
-
- system "clear";
- or
- print `clear`;
-
- (where the choice between these two depends on the rest of the script: the first
- is fast - but proceeds via fork and may not occur at exactly the time that you
- want it to in the script).
-
- David and Rachel Weintraub <davidw@cnj.digex.net> recommend using the
- old termcap.pl p4 library. You might also consider the perl 5 equivalents:
- Term.pm (especially the Term::Control module), Curses.pm,
- Perlmenu.pm, PV.
-
- Returning to X-windows and perl/Tk: if you are trying to eliminate a
- TopLevel or a MainWindow then try:
-
- $main -> destroy;
-
- If you would rather not destroy then try:
-
- $main->withdraw; # remove
-
- $main->deiconify; # put back
-
- If $w is a sub-window (sub-widget) then
-
- $w->pack('forget'); # remove if packed (newer Tk-b9.01++)
- $w->packForget; # remove if packed (older versions)
- $w->pack(...); # put back
-
- There are also ways to call low level C-ish versions:
-
- $w->UnmapWindow;
-
- but that is for special purposes only....
-
- If you are trying to erase an $item on a Canvas then try:
-
- delete($item);
-
- (Thanks to the post by <a904209@pluto.tiuk.ti.com> which extended this
- answer considerably.)
-

-
-
-
- 20. Is there a way to have an X application draw inside a perl/Tk window?
-
- (This question was posed by Andrew Allen March 19 1997):
-
- No not yet. But according to Nick Ing-Simmons:
-
- If app. can take XID of window to draw on it should be doable now,
- but if Tk has to pro-actively watch for creation of app's 'top level',
- and "capture" it is more tricky.
-
- ______________________________________________________________________
-
-
-
- 21. Is there a version for Microsoft Windows(tm)?
-
- Yes. Tk402.000 is in alpha release at this time (Spring 1997) and builds with
- perl 5.004, nmake, and Visual C++ on at least Windows NT.
-
- ______________________________________________________________________
-
-
-
- 22. Are there any international font packages for perl/Tk?
-
- In principle you may specify the -font configuration option on all your
- Button, Entry, Label, Message, etc. widgets. In addition to the Unix
- programs xfontsel and xlsfonts you may find xset useful for determining and/or
- specifying fonts - especially international ones.
-
- KOBAYASI Hiroaki <kobayasi@sowa.is.uec.ac.jp> has converted the Tcl/Tk
- "japanization" by <nisinaka@sra.co.jp> so that it may be used with perl/Tk. It
- is presently available (the current README file is in Japanese) from the
- following ftp site:
-
- ftp://ftp.sowa.is.uec.ac.jp/pub/Lang/perl5/Tk/
-
- >From the author's own description:
-
- Currently, the "japanization patch for perl/Tk" enables:
-
- [1] To show kanji & ASCII (by choosen kanji-font) in every widget.
- [2] To edit kanji (double width of ASCII) correctly in Text & Entry.
- [3] To support of Kanji Input method. (tkKinput.c)
- [4] Automatic kanji-code-detection & conversion with 'insert/get'.
- Supports: "JIS(Japanese Industrial Standard)", "MS-KANJI", "EUC".
-
- & the patch lacks:
-
- [5] by manual Kanji-code conversion. (JIS <=> MS-KANJI <=> EUC)
- [6] 'Good' interface to specify kanji-code used in internal. (tkWStr.c)
- [7] Documentation in English about [1-6].
- # but, since interface-change is suspected in near future,
- # documenting them is ...
-
- I thought that[5-7] was not enough for world-people, but already worth
- for natives. So I announced it on "fj.lang.perl".
-

-
-
-
- 23. Are there any other ways to create event based interfaces from perl?
-
- Yes. A short list would have to mention these for X:
-
- For perl 4:
- WAFE, STDWIN
- For perl 5:
- Sx (uses Athena & Xlib), Motif (uses Motif & Xt), Fresco (post
- X11R6.1). This perl extension was originally written by Dominic
- Giampaolo, but was re-written for Sx by Frederic Chauveau. The code
- is available from CPAN in the authors/Frederic_Chauveau/
- directory.
-
- There is an X11::* hierarchy of perl->X modules under development
- and available from CPAN.
-
- For hooking into the C++ Qt library there is Ashley Winters' PerlQt.
-
- The Perl 5 Module List has a listing of User Interfaces (Character and
- Graphical).
-
- There is also Malcolm Beattie's Tkperl (which is largely incompatible with
- perl/Tk).
-
- Further information on X interfaces to Perl is provided in the perl FAQ.
-
- For primarily graphics (with some user interface programming) there is also
- an OpenGL Perl Module of particular interest to anyone with either OpenGL
- or the MesaGL library. This package allows for compact perl VRML scripting.
- If you would like to see the OpenGL network X demonstration go to:
-
- http://www.arc.ab.ca/vr/opengl/examples/
-
- (to run that demo one needs only a forms capable web browser and a local
- X-server, hence running Lynx on Windows 95 with eXodus is perfectly OK.)
- If you would like to see the OpenGL netscape plugin go to:
-
- http://www.arc.ab.ca/vr/opengl/plugin.html
-
- For perl generation of images see the question in this FAQ on graphics
- modules.
-
- The X window system is not the only means of doing event based user
- interface programming in perl. There is, for example, William Setzer's Curses
- modules for perl 5 too.
-
- For Active X scripting on Windows try the PerlScript package from
-
- http://www.activeware.com/
-
- which will work with Internet Explorer, Internet Information Server, as well
- as the wscript command line interface.
-
- ______________________________________________________________________
-
-
-
- 24. Where can I get more information on graphics (modules|scripts)?
-
- To generate server side push animation in perl please see the perl cgi FAQ. To
- generate GIF89a loops from a collection of stills visit the Gifloop page at
-
- http://www.homecom.com/gifanim.html
-
- For other animation from perl see the OpenGL module listed below (it does
- 3D VRML animation).
-
- There are several graphics modules in perl already available - with several
- more still under development. Among them:
-
- GD.pm
- The GD.pm perl module is a perl interface to the C code of a similar
- name and was written by Lincoln Stein. It allows for the generation of
- GIF (Graphics Inline Format) images from within a perl script. The
- module itself is available from any CPAN ftp site, and Lincoln
- maintains an informational web page at:
-
- http://www-genome.wi.mit.edu/ftp/pub/software/WWW/GD.html
-
- gd/GIF.pm
- The gd/GIF.pm module is similar to GD.pm (generates GIFs using
- gd.c) and was written by Roberto Cecchini who maintains a web page
- for his module at:
-
- http://www.fi.infn.it/pub/perl/GIF/
-
- JPEG.pm
- The JPEG.pm module was written by Nick Ing-Simmons expressly
- for use with the Tk family of modules. It is distributed on CPAN in the
- authors/id/NI-S/ directories as a Tk-JPEG-*.tar.gz file.
-
- Open/Mesa-GL Perl Module
- This module can use the OpenGL lib on computers that have it
- (available for SGI, AIX, Linux), or with the MesaGL package (which
- allegedly runs a little slower but does not require the X accelerator
- hardware that OpenGL does). This package supports relatively easy
- graphics programming, 3D shading, etc. Very cool stuff! The URL for
- the OpenGL perl module is:
-
- http://www.arc.ab.ca/vr/opengl/
-
- PGPERL
- If you will be interfacing to the PGPLOT FORTRAN language
- routines you might consider Karl Glazebrook's PGPERL which has an
- interactive web demo as well a a web home page at:
-
- http://www.aao.gov.au/local/www/kgb/pgperl.html
-
- A pgperl/tk script might look like this:
-
- #!/usr/bin/perl
- use PGPLOT;
- use Tk;
- open(IMG,"test.img"); # Read 128x128 image from binary file
- read(IMG, $img, 4*128*128); # data - list of 4 byte float [C type]
- close(IMG); # stored as perl string.
- pgbegin(0,'test.gif/gif',1,1);
- pggray($img,128,128,1,128,1,128,1,0,*tr); # pg-Plot it
- my $main = new MainWindow;
- $main ->Label(-text => 'Main')->pack;
- $main -> Photo('IMG', -file => "test.gif");
- my $l = $main->Label('-image' => 'IMG')->pack;
- $main->Button(-text => 'close',
- -command => sub{destroy $main}
- )->pack(-side => 'left');
- $main->Button(-text => 'exit',
- -command => [sub{exit}]
- )->pack(-side => 'right');
- MainLoop; # pg-tk plot it
-
- perlDL
- perlDL or PDL is the Perl Data Language for fast manipulation of
- large arrays - such as those that often occur in image
- processing/analysis/creation (or scientific data sets). PDL is also by
- Karl Glazebrook. This is a very hot module full of programmer
- convenience features such as overloaded operators etc. There is a
- mailing list and a home page for this module:
-
- http://www.aao.gov.au/local/www/kgb/perldl/
- perldl-request@jach.hawaii.edu
- http://www.rosat.mpe-garching.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perldl/
-
- Another tip: it is quite useful to have the PBMPlus/NetPBM set of graphics
- file interconversion programs if you will be dealing with many graphics file
- formats. There is a Sunsite web server with many graphics utilities including
- netpbm at:
-
- http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/graphics/convert/INDEX.short.html
-
- (Note there are linux binaries as well as source code kits there - also at sunsite
- mirrors.) You might also be interested in some of the graphics file format
- specifications.
-
- Other programming tools/utilities are of help with graphics. The X11 release
- contains many such tools. There is also The GIMP. Consider also the
- ImageMagick program.
-

-
-
-
- 25. Are there any major applications written in perl/Tk?
-
- Yes. In fact, there are some interesting perl/Tk applications already available
- from:
-
- Your very own perl/Tk distibution:
- ----------------------------------
-
- The following programs may be found in your own Tk#/ directory (you
- already have these if you have the Tk extension to perl)*:
-
-
- program description
- pfm perl file manager - cute iconic front to emacs
- ptknews a GUI perl newsreader - a work in progress.
- tkpsh perl/Tk equivalent of the Tcl/Tk wish shell.
- toyedit a Text widget editor.
-
- The following programs may be found either in your demos directory (consult
- the README file there for fuller descriptions) or in your perl/bin install
- directory:
-
-
- program description
- browse Simple file browser front end for emacs.
- color_editor Front end to Tk::ColorEditor
- allows RGB, CMY, and HSV color cube manipulation
- (based on tcolor.tcl).
- ixset GUI front end to xset - for terminal settings.
- pgs Perl front end to Ghostscript (viewing PostScript(c) files).
- rmt perl/Tk
- "development shell/remote control application"
- You can launch or talk to other perl/Tk apps with rmt.
- rolodex Like the Tcl/Tk app of the same name.
- Requires editing for personal use.
- timer Stopwatch-like seconds timer.
- tkpod The perl gui pod viewer (like xman).
- tkweb The perl "Rough and Ready" web browser.
-
- *Peter Prymmer recently posted a means by which one can integrate any or all
- of these GUI applications into one's own X-window environment. Here for
- terse illustration is the basic idea behind using an X11R6.1 .mwmrc.m4
- resource file for making a Menu (make sure the applications are in your
- PATH or specify a full path to each one as needed):
-
- Menu Perl
- {
- "Perl" f.title
- "editor" f.exec "toy_edit &"
- "tkemacs" f.exec "browse &"
- "manual" f.exec "tkpod perl.pod &"
- "the web" f.exec "tkweb http://www.perl.com/perl/ &"
- "news" f.exec "ptknews comp.lang.perl.tk &"
- "pgs" f.exec "pgs &"
- "stop watch" f.exec "timer &"
- }
-
- # We bind it so that left mouse button when pressed while
- # over the root or background pops up with this Perl menu:
- Buttons DefaultButtonBindings
- {
- <Btn1Down> root f.menu Commands
- # etc.
- }
- Buttons ExplicitButtonBindings
- {
- <Btn1Down> root f.menu Commands
- # etc.
- }
-
- Other perl/Tk application distributors:

- 26. What is the history of pTk and perl/Tk?
-
- This list is only slowly coming together. Please forgive any absences.
-
- o tkperl5a5 is announced Thu, 20 Oct 1994 14:44:23 +0000 (BST)
-
- NOTE
- This project is unrelated to the one which is adding usersubs to
- perl4 to get access to Tk via Tcl. Often, postings on comp.lang.perl
- just say "tkperl" without saying which one is meant. They are two
- totally different kettles of fish.
