That's great news.
Would you mind giving me the link to the stable, actively maintained
library that makes Qt available for Tcl? I look forward to testing it out.
I'm not responsible for every project or category of projects that I mention, so I can't guarantee you that any of those wrappers are well-made or worth using.
Tcl may be one of the lesser languages for Qt. The intersection of Tcl and Qt users is somewhat small, but even so, there are multiple projects about the same thing.
First look at http://wiki.tcl.tk/2181
Skip over TclQt, it's a windows binary thing that doesn't come with source (even though it's on SF.net) and it's very old. There's another one named Tq that is supposedly better but it's commercial and probably abandoned.
Look at Qtcl. The source is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtcl/ and I could get it to compile after I installed qmake and libqt4-dev. I didn't try it.
It looks old and unmaintained, and I doubt it supports the newest version of Qt which has introduced the graphics view stuff plus probably a lot of other changes. But I will give it a shot.
If Qtcl works well, it could be a possible path for speeding up the GUI, by replacing Tk entirely, but keeping Tcl (which is easier than changing everything at once). But there are other paths (the ones I suggested recently).
The only other path I remember is patching Tk to make it more efficient, but you still wouldn't get zooming with that.
