[ANN] ltcltk 0.9

[Gunnar Zötl <gz@...>]

Hi,

ltcltk is a binding of the Tcl skripting language and, more importantly, 
of the Tk toolkit to the lua skripting language. More information is 
available from the homepage at

http://www.tset.de/ltcltk.html

The module is available from there, or from the luarocks repository.

A snippet from the README follows:

---snip---

A package that provides bindings for Lua to Tcl and the Tk toolkit.

Author: Gunnar Zötl , 2010.
Released under MIT/X11 license. See file LICENSE for details.

This has been developed using Tcl/Tk 8.4 and 8.5 on Linux and MacOS X. 
It should also compile on Windows, the only non ISO-C function used is 
snprintf().

ltcl is the binding to the Tcl interpreter. It allows to access Tcl 
variables from Lua, function calls from Lua to Tcl and also from Tcl to 
Lua, plus the ability to define Tcl functions in Lua. See README_ltcl 
for details.

ltk is a simple pure-Lua binding to the Tk toolkit that uses ltcl to 
access the Tk functionality through a Tcl interpreter. All standard Tk 
functions and widgets from Tk 8.4 and Tk 8.5 are supported, with the 
ability to provide Lua functions where standard Tk expects Tcl functions 
or scripts. A few Tcl functions that seemed useful in the context of ltk 
are also provided. See README_ltk for details.

A few examples are provided for illustration purposes. They reside in 
the folder samples. The ones whose names start with tk are ported from 
Tk 8.5 examples.

Plus, there's also some documentation ;)

Enjoy,

Gunnar
