They should present no issue - all of that API is wrapped.

I had been meaning to convert one or two Python tests, but don't use
Tcl much myself.

It would be great to hear if you hit significant issues, and if you
would like to contribute a Tcl test or two from the Python or C++
tests I should be able to get it merged. The same is true of Java,
which is wrapped and should work without issue but there are no
specific tests for the charts written in Java.
