Actually, I'm asking about the entire graphics system. Does it call
X-Windows directly? How is it cross-platform then? I'm just asking
'cause a lot of other languages found Tk a really easy way to add
graphic capabilities. I never liked having to install Tcl to use Python
though.
I'm wondering how hard it would be to add gtk+ support. It's been
something I've been considering working on for a while.
