I have no philosophical issue with removing TCL. Please note however that somebody is going to have to do a lot of work to rewrite two VTK books (textbook and user's guide) not to mention a hell of a lot of examples. Aashish are you volunteering?<div>

I know at least one person (Bill, cc'd) using TCL wrapping but recently he switched to Python (not completely though). My personal vote is +1 to remove TCL support. <div><div><br></div><div><div><div class="h5"><br>

<br>
So, for now I have applied a mapping of numerals to Roman numerals, and that works well. The TCL objects have the 2 replaced by II, everything else remains as is. This is a possible option too, although I am not particularly tied to the name.<br>
<br>
None of these classes were ever wrapped in Tcl or Java as we failed to add the handwritten code to make them part of those wrapped imports.<br>
This is not automated, but it does beg the question of how many Tcl users are out there and if they are largely supporting legacy Tcl scripts and not looking at new API.<br>
