Dear Ali,

 

I would suggest you take a look at the “VMD PDB Tool” as a simple example.

 

In the VMD tree, you have all the code for the VMD plugins, including the tk code for their interface. So inside the vmd installation folder, you will have something like “vmd/plugins/noarch/tcl/pdbtool1.0”. This is a simple plugin with a simple interface that you can use as a template.

 

Best

 

João

Subject: vmd-l: Creating and using a tk button

 

Dear vmd users,

 

My goal is to have a canvas with a button and a box so that I enter a number in the box and press the button and a procedure is executed (e.g. a new molecule is loaded).

 

I'm having trouble getting gui in tcl console to work. For example when I execute:

label .hello "hello world"

grid .label

 

nothing happens.

 

I'd appreciate it if you let me know whether doing this is possible and if yes, some hints about how to do it.

 

Thanks

Ali
