Re: Which tk to use and how to show images?

I use perl-tk, because as far as I know, gtk won't run on a Pentium-75. :-)

Tk is most commonly used in conjuction with the Tcl (Tool Command Language) programming language; Perl-Tk is a port that seems awkward at times, because it tends to reflect the Tcl origins rather faithfully.

There are Tk libraries for lots of things; I even saw one years ago that did 3D rendering (a ray-traced teapot, if I recall correctly). I imagine that you could access those features from Perl somehow, though the setup I saw used Tcl instead.

Just my $0.02.

Hope it helps.

I guess I'll give Perl-Tk a go then. I've got a fair amount of code already written in perl to collect the data so switching to tcl would be a bit of a step backwards.	[reply]
