tycho.edit.slate
This is the slate package itself.

tycho.kernel.basic
This is the "basic" package of the Tycho kernel, which contains some utilities that are required by the Slate.

tcl++
tcl++ is an [incr Tcl] simulator written by Matt Newman that allows you to use the Slate with Tcl8.0.

Installation instructions

These instructions assume that you do not already have Tycho installed.

  1. Download the slate and basic packages into a suitable directory. This is either the lib directory of your [incr Tcl] installation, or some other directory where you put Tcl packages.

  2. Change to that directory and do either:
        unzip -a tycho.kernel.basic2.0.zip
        unzip -a tycho.edit.slate2.0.zip
    

    or

        gzcat tycho.kernel.basic2.0.tar.gz | tar -xf -
        gzcat tycho.edit.slate2.0.tar.gz | tar -xf -
    

    If you are running under windows and have WinZip installed, you can also double-click on the files.

  3. Make sure that the Tcl package loader will be able to find these packages. If you didn't install them in the lib directory of your Tcl installation, then I suggest that you set an environment variable TCL_PACKAGES to the directory containing the two packages.

    To verify that the packages will load, start itkwish and go

      lappend auto_path $env(TCL_PACKAGES)
      package require tycho.edit.slate
    

    Any problems, just send me email.

  4. Try out the demos. Change to the directory slate/demos and run the various scripts in there to see some samples of the Slate doing its thing.

  5. Use it! Just be sure to do
      package require tycho.edit.slate

    before trying to create a Slate object.
