The Pd Vanilla 0.46-7 Windows distribution includes tcl/tk 8.5 and a widget demo.
The demo can be opened with the message exec wish85.exe $::sys_libdir/lib/tk8.5/demos/widget pasted into the "tcl prompt:" + <enter> Initially I am trying to find a way to send a message directly to that prompt from a patch, in a similar manner to [; pd( That seems to have been expressly omitted from the console build. There is a widget editor available (vtcl) which makes widget building more accessible for noobs like myself. If an object or objects exist, or could be compiled for Pure Data, that could open a widget and receive variables from user interaction with that widget then a patch could call widgets in -nogui mode (or not) and present a simple user interface to a "user" of the patch. I have implemented (badly- but I am learning fast) an additional menu item for the Pd window which can communicate with tcl/tk (working for windows os) http://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/9991/woof-a-new-window-menu-for-vanilla- tcl Please let me know if I am "breaking" the license, and of course I will stop. But for now I am stuck anyway. David. _____ No snowden found in this message. Checked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 2016.0.7163 / Virus Database: 4563/12106 - Release Date: 04/26/16
