Perl/Tk FAQ part 5 of 5 - Miscellany       
************************************ 

 ______________________________________________________________________
 
 
 
 18. How do I "clear the screen"? 
 
 What screen are you trying to clear? 
 
 If you are trying to clear a tty (e.g. xterm) screen then try either of the
 following within your script: 
 
     system "clear";
 or
     print `clear`;
 
 (where the choice between these two depends on the rest of the script: the
 first is fast - but proceeds via fork and may not occur at exactly the time
 that you want it to in the script). David and Rachel Weintraub
 <davidw@cnj.digex.net> recommend using the old termcap.pl p4
 library. You might also consider the perl 5 equivalents: Term.pm (especially
 the Term::Control module), Curses.pm, Perlmenu.pm, PV. 
 
 If you are trying to eliminate a TopLevel or a MainWindow then try: 
 
     $main -> destroy;
 
 If you would rather not destroy then try: 
 
     $main->withdraw;   # remove
 
     $main->deiconify;  # put back
 
 If $w is a sub-window (sub-widget) then 
 
     $w->packForget; # remove - if packed
 
     $w->pack(...);  # put back
 
 There are also ways to call low level C-ish versions: 
 
     $w->UnmapWindow; 
 
 but that is for special purposed only.... 
 
 If you are trying to erase an $item on a Canvas then try: 
 
     delete($item);
 
 (Thanks to the post by <a904209@pluto.tiuk.ti.com> which extended this
 answer considerably.) 
 
 ______________________________________________________________________
 
 
 
 19. Are there any international font packages for perl/Tk? 
 
 In principle you may specify the -font configuration option on all your 
 Button, Entry, Label, Message, etc. widgets. In addition to the Unix
 programs xfontsel and xlsfonts you may find xset useful for determining
 and/or specifying fonts - especially international ones. 
 
 Kobayasi Hiroaki <kobayasi@sowa.is.uec.ac.jp> has converted the Tcl/Tk
 "japanization" by <nisinaka@sra.co.jp> so that it may be used with perl/Tk.
 It is presently available (the current README file is in Japanese) from: 
 
     ftp://ftp.sowa.is.uec.ac.jp/pub/Lang/perl5/Tk/Tk-b9.jp-a6.gz
 
 From the author's own description: 
 
 Currently, the "japanization patch for perl/Tk" enables:
 
   [1] To show kanji & ASCII (by choosen kanji-font) in every widget.
   [2] To edit kanji (double width of ASCII) correctly in Text & Entry.
   [3] To support of Kanji Input method. (tkKinput.c)
   [4] Automatic kanji-code-detection & conversion with 'insert/get'.
       Supports: "JIS(Japanese Industrial Standard)", "MS-KANJI", "EUC".
 
 & the patch lacks:
 
   [5] by manual Kanji-code conversion. (JIS <=> MS-KANJI <=> EUC)
   [6] 'Good' interface to specify kanji-code used in internal. (tkWStr.c)
   [7] Documentation in English about [1-6].
       # but, since interface-change is suspected in near future, 
       # documenting them is ...
 
 I thought that[5-7] was not enough for world-people, but already worth
 for natives. So I announced it on "fj.lang.perl".
 
 ______________________________________________________________________
 
 
 
 20. Are there any other ways to create X interfaces from perl? 
 
 Yes. A short list would have to mention: 
 
 For perl 4: 
    WAFE, STDWIN
 For perl 5:
    Sx (uses Athena & Xlib), Motif (uses Motif & Xt), Fresco (post
    X11R6)
 
 There is also Malcolm Beattie's Tkperl (which is largely incompatible with
 perl/Tk). 
 
 Further information on X interfaces to Perl is provided in the perl FAQ. 
 
 SGI folk may be interested in the OpenGL Perl Module (Sun folk too - if
 you have "mesaGL" installed). 
 
 For perl generation of GIF images see the question on the GD module. 
 
 ______________________________________________________________________
 
 
 
 21. Where can I get more information on the GD module? 
 
 The GD.pm perl module was ported to perl from the C code of a similar
 name by Lincoln Stein. It allows for the generation of GIF (Graphics Inline
 Format) images from within a perl script. The module itself is available
 from any CPAN ftp site, and Lincoln maintains an informational web page
 at: 
 
     http://www-genome.wi.mit.edu/ftp/pub/software/WWW/GD.html
 
 ______________________________________________________________________
 
 
 
 22. Are there any major applications written in perl/Tk? 
 
 In part the answer to this depends on what you mean by major as well as on
 the fact that the perl/Tk language itself is still in beta. Be sure to check the
 newsgroups comp.lang.perl.tk, comp.lang.perl.announce, as well as the 
 mailing list archive. 
 
 In addition, there are some interesting perl/Tk applications already available
 from: 
 
 Your own Tk-b# distibution:
 ---------------------------
 
 The following programs may be found in your Tk-b#/ directory: 
 
 
 program        description
 pfm            perl file manager - cute iconic front to emacs
 ptknews        a GUI perl newsreader (Tk-b9.01) - a work in progress.
 tkpsh          perl/Tk equivalent of wish.
 toyedit        a Text widget editor.
 
 The following programs may be found in your perl5/Tk/demos/
 directory (consult the README file there for fuller descriptions): 
 
 
 program        description
 browse         Simple file browser front end for emacs.
 color_editor   Front end to Tk::ColorEditor
                allows RGB, CMY, and HSV color cube manipulation
                (based on tcolor.tcl).
 ixset          GUI front end to xset - for terminal settings.
 rmt            perl/Tk 
                "development shell/remote control application"
                You can launch or talk to other perl/Tk apps with rmt.
 rolodex        Like the Tcl/Tk app of the same name.
                Requires editing for personal use.
 timer          Stopwatch - like seconds timer.
 tkweb          The perl version of tkwww - a work in progress.
 
 Other perl/Tk application distributors:
 ---------------------------------------
 
 ptkb.pl 
    an xbiff like mailbox watcher. Available from 
    ftp://ftp.wpi.edu/perl5/pTk-Modules/ptkb.pl 
 bioTkperl 
    Was announced by Gregg Helt <gregg@fruitfly.berkeley.edu>
    recently. See the home page at: 
    http://www.cbil.upenn.edu/~dsearls/bioTk.html. Source at: 
    ftp://fruitfly.berkeley.edu/pub/bioTk/bioTkperl0.8.tar.gz

 23. What is the history of pTk and perl/Tk? 
 
 This list is only slowly coming together. Please forgive any absences. 
 
  o tkperl5a5 is announced Thu, 20 Oct 1994 14:44:23 +0000 (BST) 
 
 NOTE
 This project is unrelated to the one which is adding usersubs to
 perl4 to get access to Tk via Tcl. Often, postings on comp.lang.perl
 just say "tkperl" without saying which one is meant. They are two
 totally different kettles of fish.
 
 --Malcolm (Beattie)
 
  o Fri, 25 Nov 94 14:29:53 GMT Nick Ing-Simmons is working on what
    will be known as "nTk" eventually. 
  o Mon, 12 Dec 94 08:56:36 GMT, Nick Ing-Simmons reports: 
 
 I have a re-port of ext/Tk nearly ready for alpha.
 It builds its own "pTk" library from sources semi-automatically derived
 from Tk3.6.  There is no Tcl library at all. 
 
 Would anyone like to assist me in testing it?

 24. What can we expect the future to hold? 
 
 Here is the Tk-b10-tobe Relnotes file (see Changes for a more
 thorough discussion): 
 
 The user visible changes in Tk-b9 / Tk-b9.01 / Tk-b10.
 
 Most of user-level changes occurred in Tk-b9, Tk-b10 is mainly 
 internal cleanup and documentation improvements and changes to Makefile.PL's
 to suit perl5.002.
 
 Tk-b10 has changed to $Tk::VERSION rather than $Tk:Version to be consistent
 with other packages.
 
 Tk-b10 has renamed Tk::BackgroundError to just Tk::Error - this makes
 it more like Tcl/Tk and will allow C API's  BackgroundError to be exported
 to perl one day.
 
 The major change in Tk-b10 is that the doc subdirectory now contains 
 'man' and HTML docs which are in terms of perl/Tk syntax rather than Tcl/Tk.
 Some of the *.pod files have been incorporated there too.
 The install process for docs is still not sorted though.
 
 See Changes file for (a little) more detail.

 This FAQ is now being carried by the CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive
 Network) ftp sites (thanks Tom ;-). At any of the CPAN locations go into
 the doc/ directory to retrieve either the ptkFAQ.gz file (gzipped
 plaintext), the ptkFAQ.html.gz file (gzipped html [with some links
 relative to "http://w4.lns.cornell.edu/~pvhp/ptk/"]), or the ptkFAQ.ps.gz
 file (gzipped PostScript). To unfurl any of these files try gunzip. As an
 example the South African files are at:

 e-mail services:
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 Send e-mail (content of message unimportant) to 
 <ptkfaq@pubweb.bnl.gov> and you will receive the text version of this
 FAQ. (Many thanks to Alan L. Stange at Brookhaven for setting this up!) 
 
 Those without FTP access can get the plaintext version via e-mail from the
 rtfm archive. For help send e-mail to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu with a
 message of:
 
     send usenet/news.answers/finding-sources
 
 The mail server at rtfm may be able to e-mail a plaintext version of this faq.
 Send e-mail to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu containing: 
 
     send /pub/usenet/news.answers/perl-faq/ptk-faq/part0
 
 Then send several more (separate) requests, such as: 
 
     send /pub/usenet/news.answers/perl-faq/ptk-faq/part1
     send /pub/usenet/news.answers/perl-faq/ptk-faq/part2
     send /pub/usenet/news.answers/perl-faq/ptk-faq/part3
     send /pub/usenet/news.answers/perl-faq/ptk-faq/part4
     send /pub/usenet/news.answers/perl-faq/ptk-faq/part5
 
 The ptk@guest.wpi.edu mailing list is devoted more to porting and
 development issues. The URL's to this FAQ may be posted there, but not
 the text (it is simply too big).
 
 Webmail Gateways:
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 With e-mail you might try one of the (experimental & not necessarily
 reliable) http-to-mail services such as either of the following:
 
 When last tested the service at webmail@www.ucc.ie reported that the
 single ptkFAQ.txt file was too large to send. Hence, you must send
 several separate e-mail requests to <webmail@www.ucc.ie>
 A Subject: line is not required but do include the following one line
 message body in your first e-mail: 
 
     GO http://w4.lns.cornell.edu/~pvhp/ptk/ptkFAQ0.txt
 
 Then send several more (separate) requests as follows: 
 
     GO http://w4.lns.cornell.edu/~pvhp/ptk/ptkFAQ1.txt
     GO http://w4.lns.cornell.edu/~pvhp/ptk/ptkFAQ2.txt
     GO http://w4.lns.cornell.edu/~pvhp/ptk/ptkFAQ3.txt
     GO http://w4.lns.cornell.edu/~pvhp/ptk/ptkFAQ4.txt
     GO http://w4.lns.cornell.edu/~pvhp/ptk/ptkFAQ5.txt
 
 please note: In days gone by this service would take several hours to send
 back both a plaintext and a uuencoded version of the stated file - both
 within a single mail message. The service did mention receiving more than
 17,000 requests in October 1995 alone and it is not known whether they will
 continue. 
 
 
 Send e-mail to agora@mail.w3.org
 with a one line message body (Subject: line not required) such as: 
 
     SEND http://w4.lns.cornell.edu/~pvhp/ptk/ptkFAQ.txt
 
 please note: this last method bounced backed a "permanently out of service"
 message when last attempted. The home page at 
 http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/Agora/ mentions "temporarily out of
 service", caveat netsurfer; the page at 
 http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/MailRobot/send.html does not mention
 being out of service. 
 System administrator and webmasters are encouraged to visit any of the
 following pages: 
 
     http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/MailRobot/Overview.html
     http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/MailRobot/send.html
     http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/Mailing/Form.html
     http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/Agora/
 
 and decide if they wish to set up a webmail gateway of their own. The 
 agora.pl script is written in perl and makes use of the www line mode
 browser. It could presumably be re-written to use url-get.pl or any
 other fine code such as the latest, greatest perl5 module for URL fetching :-)
 
 gopher
 ~~~~~~
 
 On a very experimental basis you might try: 
 
     gopher-client 128.84.219.153
 
 or in URL form: 
 
     gopher://128.84.219.153/1
