Scripting

TableOfContents

This section assumes you are familiar with Tcl and how to write basic scripts.

Most of TkSurfer's functions have Tcl bindings. As you have probably noticed, the interface is just a Tk/Tix window. You can look at the interface script, tksurfer.tcl, to see how most of the functionality is used. Following is a list of Tcl commands defined by TkSurfer. You can use these commands in your own scripts and call them with the -tcl command line option to execute them on startup. TkSurfer can run in a kind of batch mode in this fashion, although it still requires X and has to be able to open its main window.

You can also enter these script commands from the shell that TkSurfer was launched in. You can use the Tcl source command to load a script file from the Tcl shell as well.

This list is provided for reference. If you can figure out something that works, great, but it is not officially a feature of TkSurfer.
