in reply to Graphs with tk

To process graphs with Tk BLT is more appropriate, it has special "graph" widget designed specially for similar purposes..

Here is some graph drawn with Perl and BLT on my PocketPC
Tcl::Tk should be used to achieve this.

addition here is code example to begin with.

    I agree that BLT has some very effective utilities for graphing, however I have been having difficulties locating and installing a Tcl ppd for my Windows XP workstation.

    I've tried both 5.6 and 5.8 versions of Perl obtained from Activestate, and although I've been able to use PPM to install the Tcl-Tk Perl module, I've been unable to install the Tcl module.

    To head off any questions -- I was unable to install the Tcl ppd, so I get error messages complaining about being unable to locate Tcl.pm. I HAVE been able to install the Activestate Tcl distribution, but without the Tcl module, this does me little good. Any thoughts on where I might find a finctional Tcl ppd. Without it, distributions such as BLT are useless to me on Windows.

      this problem is easy to understand, and hopefully easy to resolve.

      There were some versions of Tcl ppd, but I'll prepare a fresh build within a couple of days.

      Meanwhile, let me note that lack of "Tcl.pm" means that pefore using Tcl::Tk CPAN module you should install Tcl CPAN module, which in turn requires Tcl to be installed (and you already have it installed)
