Since the BLT library continues to be a pain (the developer seems only
interested in keeping it working for his own purposes, fair enough but it
has left us somewhat dangling) I've had a quick look for possible
replacements (it's several years since I was forced to upgrade BLT for
Tcl/Tk 8.5). There are two likely looking developments. The rbc project:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rbctoolkit/
and the BLT component in Wize:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wize/files/
sadly both look like they would require a fair amount of effort. rbc is
missing at least two commands, "busy" and "table" and the Tcl and C
namespaces have changed, so maybe the Wize project would be easier to
adopt. After upgrading from BLT 2.5 to 3.0 I expect there's some gotchas
to sort out going back and there have been improvements to existing BLT
commands in Wize.
Not offering but thought these worth pointing out.
Peter.
