Further Developments and Advanced programming

A Tk Tcl Interface is currently under development at ISIS, and the idea is to provide a rudimentary interface and also a set of useful utilities e.g. a tcl "display" command that will, as well as drawing a plot, allow you to interactively change e.g. line colour by clicking on a line. However, the above should allow anybody who wishes the ability to knock up a GUI for a GCL command procedure they write.

Open GENIE is a much more detailed and powerful system than is obvious from the rest of this manual. There are many things which can be done using Open GENIE, for example

write procedures in an object oriented command syntax

extend the data class system to advanced data types

code procedures directly in smalltalk

or extend Open GENIE by writing in C++
