Open Source Tcl Software Development Software

Tool Command Language (Tcl) is an interpreted language and very portable interpreter for that language. Tcl is embeddable and extensible, and has been widely used since its creation in 1988 by John Ousterhout. Bug reports to http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/ Follow code development at http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/

Expect is a tool for automating interactive applications such as telnet, ftp, passwd, fsck, rlogin, tip, etc. Expect is also useful for testing these same applications.

tcllib is a Tcl-only library of standard routines for Tcl (no compiling required). This project also houses the CVS modules for BWidgets, tclbench, mclistbox, tclapps, and tklib. All of these are deprecated in favor of the fossil repositories found at the sites listed below.

The "Open On-Chip Debugger" provides JTAG/SWD access from GDB (or directly with TCL scripts) to processors with ARM and MIPS based cores. See website for full list of supported targets.

Integrated Development Environment for some microcontrollers based on 8051(e.g. AT89S8253). Supported languages are Assembly and C. It has its own simulator, assembler, editor and many other tools. See the project web site for more details and the newest updates.

The Software Testing Automation Framework (STAF) is a framework designed to improve the level of reuse and automation in test cases and test environments. The goal of STAF is to provide a complete end-to-end automation solution for testers.

tkdiff is a graphical front end to the diff program. It provides a side-by-side view of the differences between two text files, along with several innovative features such as diff bookmarks, a graphical map of differences for quick navigation, and a facility for slicing diff regions to achieve exactly the merge output desired.

SMC takes a state machine stored in a .sm file and generates a State pattern in 14 programming languages. Includes: default transitions, transition args, transition guards, push/pop transitions and Entry/Exit actions. See User Manual for more info.

[incr Tcl] is the most widely used O-O system for Tcl. The name is a play on C++, and [incr Tcl] provides a similar object model, including multiple inheritence and public and private classes and variables. Repos now http://core.tcl.tk/itcl and itk

The freeWrap program turns TCL/TK scripts into single-file binary executable programs. freeWrap can wrap TCL/TK applications that consist of multiple script and binary files. freeWrap combines all the files together into a single executable file.

DRAKON is a diagram language developed within the Russian space program. Its primary objective is presenting complex software systems in a way which is easy to understand by humans. DRAKON's motto: took a glance - understood at once. DRAKON Editor helps software architects, quality specialists and developers. Architects and quality assurers can express a high-level view of how their product works. DRAKON serves them to explain the dynamics of a software system. Software engineers can use DRAKON Editor to build algorithms in Go, Java, Processing.org, D, C#, C, C++, Python, Tcl, Javascript, Erlang and Lua.

The CvsGui project is providing several high-end interface clients (WinCvs, MacCvs, gCvs) written in C++ using popular frameworks (MFC, PowerPlant, GTK+) with a scripting support via Python or TCL.

Source Navigator NG is a source code analysis tool. With it, you can edit your source code, display relationships between classes and functions and members, and display call trees. You can navigate your source code and easily get to declarations or implementations of functions, variables and macros (commonly called "symbols") which helps you discovering and mapping unknown source code for enhancement or maintenance tasks.

Tcl/Java consists of two pieces of software. Jacl is an implementation of a Tcl interpreter written entirely in Java. Tcl Blend is a Tcl extension that provides access to Java from inside Tcl. One can prototype Java code using Tcl, and much more.

Nagelfar is a static syntax checker for Tcl.

SpecTcl is a WYSIWYG GUI-Builder for Tcl/Tk, with sibblings for generating code in Perl, Java, Python & Ruby. It runs on all platforms where Tcl/Tk runs. It is simple and quick to use, yet still powerful when you know your Tcl/Tk.

FileRunner is a two pane file manager for Unix and Unix like systems. It is simple and efficient and has a built-in FTP and SFTP client. It also does a reasonable (and improving) job on Windows systems. New and improved from a FileRunner of long ago.

A software gps simulator, providing TCP/IP, UDP, http and serial port connectivity in NMEA 0183, XML or user defined output format. Usable for testing all kinds of GPS applications. Can playback pre-recorded GPS files with NMEA output.

See https://tkimg.sourceforge.net/ for a list of supported image formats.

A Tcl/Tk based graphical interface to the CVS and Subversion configuration management systems. Support for Git and RCS too. Formerly called TkCVS.

Extends Tcl by providing new operating system interface commands, extended file control, scanning and status commands and many others. Considered by many to be a must-have for large Tcl apps.

Togl provides a platform independent Tk widget for using OpenGL rendering contexts.

awdark and awlight themes for Tk, loosely based on the adwaita themes. Scalable themes: awdark, awlight, black, winxpblue, breeze, arc, clearlooks.

tclreadline makes the GNU readline available for interactive tcl shells. This includes features as history expansion and file/command completion. Command completion is provided for all tcl/tk commands and can be extended to user defined commands.

The Next Scripting Framework (NSF) was developed based on the notion of language-oriented programming. The framework allows a language developer to work with multiple object systems on top of Tcl in a single workspace. The developer can benefit from a rich and extensible set of predefined functions (typically implemented in C) which can be registered for use on objects and classes in a given object system. NSF provides a tool box for defining dynamic, object-oriented, and domain-specific languages. NSF ships with 3 fully scripted language definitions, containing XOTcl 2 and the Next Scripting language NX. NX is a highly flexible and object-oriented scripting language. It is a descendant of XOTcl and was designed based on 10 years of experience with XOTcl in projects containing several hundred thousand lines of code. While XOTcl was the first language designed to provide language support for design patterns, NX adds language-oriented programming and higher safety.
