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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

The Tcl UDP extension provides a simple library to support UDP socket in Tcl.

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.

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.

TkTreeCtrl is a multi-column hierarchical listbox widget for the Tk GUI toolkit.

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.

Framework to generate TclkitLite executables, compile Tcl packages and build kit files for different operating systems

InstallJammer is a multiplatform GUI installer and builder. InstallJammer is no longer under active development.

OTcl, short for MIT Object Tcl, is an extension to Tcl/Tk for object-oriented programming. TclCL (Tcl with classes) is a Tcl/C++ interface used by Mash, vic, vat, rtp_play, ns, and nam. It provides a layer of C++ glue over OTcl.

The BLT Toolkit is an extension to Tcl and Tk. It adds new commands and widgets to the Tcl interpreter. Included widgets are 2D graph, barchart, stripchart, tab notebook, and tree viewer.

TinyTcl is a tiny version of Tcl, for small footprint machines and embeddable/rommable applications. It is derived from Tcl 6.7 and compiles to less than 60K, 10X smaller than Tcl 7 and Tcl 8.

TkTable is a full-featured 2D table widget for Tk. It supports images, embedded windows, varying colors and fonts, and more. Also here is Vu, a Tk widget extension that includes a pie, dial, spinbox and more, and Tile, a themed widget set for Tk.

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.

The TclPro tool set includes a graphical debugger, a static code checker, a wrapper to generate stand-alone executables, a "compiler" that writes out Tcl byte codes, and a loader that reads byte codes.

Covered is a Verilog code coverage utility using VCD/LXT/FST dumpfiles (or VPI interface) and the design to generate line, toggle, memory, combinational logic, FSM state/arc and assertion coverage report metrics viewable via GUI or ASCII format. This project is ported to github and can be found at: https://github.com/chiphackers/covered

Cbrowser is a Tcl/Tk GUI front-end to source code searching tools. It is primarily designed to work with cscope, but also works with cs. See http://cscope.sourceforge.net/ to obtain cscope, and for more information.

NOTE: The repository for this project has moved to https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcltls/home. TLS is an OpenSSL / RSA-bsafe Tcl extension that provides secure connections on top of the Tcl socket mechanism. Within a few lines of code, users can query https servers (see the tclhttpd project for an https server using TLS).

Eggdrop is the most advanced IRC robot available. It has been under development since December 1993, and unlike most other bots, it is still regularly updated.
