Re: tkwin headers (was Re: [Plplot-devel] I can't install HEAD version)

[Vince D. <vi...@sa...>]

    dbug_enter("PlPlotterKeyEH");
    string = TkpGetString((TkWindow*)tkwin,eventPtr,&ds);
    pldebug("PlPlotterKeyEH", "Translation: %s\n", string);
    keysym = TkStringToKeysym(string);

there are actually two functions which are problematic.  I think the exact
same effect can be accomplished in pure Tcl (8.3 or newer where 'event
generate ... -warp exists), and that this function could be removed
completely.  Unfortunately it won't be just a couple of lines of Tcl, but
not too bad.
