• pure Tcl extensions such as BWidgets
• binary extensions such as tix

David S. Cargo: I think in cases where some platform-dependent code can have its place that using android for a testing framework ought to be considered. Having a de facto standard testing tool would help the testing of whatever new widgets are produced.

Keith Nash: BLT's plotting facilities are superb; if in doubt, look at BLT's slides.pdf document.
