[Gdal-dev] Announcing TCL bindings for GDAL/OGR

[Alexandre Leroux]

Hi list,


I'm glad to announce the immediate availability of TCL bindings for 
GDAL/OGR. Frank already made up a page about it :
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/GdalOgrInTcl

However, to access the libraries, one will have to download the full SPI 
application (55 Mb, see link above) running on Linux. For technical 
reasons, the TCL bindings manager tells me it's easier to bundle the 
GDAL/OGR TCL bindings along with SPI instead of making them available 
separately. This may change in the future. In the documentation part of 
the website, there's some docs named TclOGR and TclGDAL, but it's in 
French (one of my colleagues wrote this). There's also a few GDAL/OGR 
TCL example scripts, which are helpful, but the TCL bindings in SPI 
allow the user to do much much more.


I'll go back off this list, so please contact me directly if you have 
any questions related to the TCL bindings even though I'm not the one in 
charge of those bindings. There's a generic email for outside users on 
the SPI page but that email will bounce at the moment and should be 
working in the coming days.


Have a great weekend!

Alex :-)
