Tk is a conventional Graphical User Interface Toolkit. The importance of Graphical User Interface-toolkits is dwindling. Two diverse technologies are the driving forces in Graphical User Interface-design today:
The World-Wide Web –HTML 5 and Scalable Vector Graphics.
The transition toward mobile computer devices.
Jeszra itself will and must follow this transitions! Jeszra will adopt Scalable Vector Graphics as its own Graphical User Interface. Every part of Jeszra is currently a resolution independent vector graphic; allowing for a clean migration path toward Scalable Vector Graphics.
Classical Toolkits will still play their part in the foreseeable future. An application, created with Jeszra and its libraries: Runtime Library and Gestalt Items will have both: a conventional toolkit based Graphical User Interface and one made with Scalable Vector Graphics.
Converting Jeszra´s Graphical User Interface to Scalable Vector Graphics requires some additional work. All the inherent geometry management must be present within Jeszra with SVG as-well. The current Jeszra secondary languages Ruby / Tk, Python / Tkinter and Lisp / LTK are better suited for the initial transition toward Scalable Vector Graphics than Tcl.
I intend to use one of these languages as the pioneer-project for the Scalable Vector Graphics transition.
