Hi Alan, I installed itcl and itk for Cygwin (version 3.x) and built PLplot anew, but I fail to see anything itcl-related in the build (Tk and itk were turned off on account of no X server running). Since this is the first time I have done something with itcl, I am a bit uncertain as to what I should expect.
The script "plitclgen" is not run - is that correct? Just wanting to make sure I understand the build process. There is no Tcl source file to define the various methods then?
