Then there is Refactored BLT (RBC, http://wiki.tcl.tk/24533) that has BLT's vector, graph, barchart, stripchart, winop, and eps components. Ruediger

RBC was released once. I think it was after some students working a summer job changed it. I do not think it is going to be actively maintained. I have been reluctant to use it for that reason. BLT itself seems to be getting some work by the original author. Unfortunately, that work is happening in a secret chamber somewhere deep below the surface of the ocean :) Nonetheless, I expect that as a result of that work, BLT will be what ultimately gets maintained. That is just my own guess, as nothing has been suggested by the BLT author. As BLT is a critical part of a number of my applications, I have stayed at an older version of Tcl/Tk. This is frustrating, as I would really like to use the tile features. Some day... -- Roger Oberholtzer

To package the whole I use an older version of freewrap, one other project uses the same tcl and the BLT .so with no problems. Martyn

I was able to compile for 8.5 and use cvs HEAD ( 3.0 ) from blt cvs on linux recently. configure still has some issues though ( files go into wrong places on installation) Maybe in a reasonable timeframe BLT 3.0 will be anounced? uwe
