I am working on a project in which a remote robotic arm manipulator will be viewed via a video display, and my job is to develop a graphical representation of the forces in the robotic arm which will be superimposed as graphical images on top of the video display. For this reason, it is necessary for the background of the graphics to be transparent so that the video images can be seen.
My question is, Is there a way in tcl/tk to make the toplevel transparent, or is there a way to develop graphics independent of the toplevel with transparent backgrounds, etc? I chose tcl/tk as the programming language for this because of its rapid graphics development capabilities, but I do not know if it is capable of making these necessary transparencies.
If the above mentioned cannot be done in tcl, does anyone have suggestions as to what programming language would be best (fastest development time) for this application?
Thanks in advance
