Overview

The Renesas integrated development environment, or the High-performance Embedded Workshop, supports Tcl/Tk Version 8.4.4. Tcl/Tk is comprised of a class member "Tcl" of script language (Tool Command Language) and the "Tk" (Tool Kit) used to program a graphical user interface. Use of Tcl/Tk helps to create appropriate GUIs that suit the development environment, in addition to the functions and GUIs supplied by the High-performance Embedded Workshop, thereby extending the development environment further.

Usage and a list of commands

The Console window of the High-performance Embedded Workshop permits Tcl/Tk programming to be performed in interpreter mode or script file load mode.

Interpreter mode
Tcl/Tk commands are executed by entering them directly in the Console window.
Script file load mode
A Tcl/Tk script file created beforehand is loaded and executed in the Console window.

During programming with Tcl/Tk, various commands supported in the High-performance Embedded Workshop environment can be used. By using Tcl/Tk and these commands in combination, it is possible to create GUIs that control the High-performance Embedded Workshop environment.
