Polar diagram with TCL

[Natiya]

Hi everyone,

does anyone know a graphs library or any way to plot a polar diagram with TCL? Would it be possible to do it in an Excel/csv file?

Thank you!

Hi Natiya,

There is the Plotchart library:

http://wiki.tcl.tk/18167

http://docs.activestate.com/activetcl/8.6/tklib/plotchart/plotchart.html

If you want to see an example look at [url

]plotdemos7.tcl[/url] in [url

http://core.tcl.tk/tklib/dir?ci=5634c2dfd15b796e&name=examples/plotchart

]examples/plotchart[/url]

In case that Plotchart is not installed on your system, you can use teacup like me:

C:\_mikrom\Work>[highlight #FCE94F]teacup install Plotchart[/highlight]
Resolving Plotchart ... [package Plotchart 2.3.4 tcl @ [URL unfurl="true"]http://teapot.activestate.com[/URL]]
...
...

Retrieving package Plotchart 2.3.4 tcl ...@ [URL unfurl="true"]http://teapot.activestate.com[/URL] ... Ok

Installing into C:/Program Files (x86)/ActiveState/Tcl/lib/teapot

Installing package Plotchart 2.3.4 tcl

C:\_mikrom\Work>[highlight #FCE94F]tclsh plotdemos7.tcl[/highlight]

Working with Excel in Tcl on Windows is also possible:

That looks very useful, thank you!

any idea on how to close the plot pop-ups in example plotdemo7.tcl? Apparently, in order to save it, you need to execute the canvas bit but then one needs to close the plots manually?

Thank you!
