rstk

A Rust binding for the Tk graphics toolkit.

Overview

rstk opens and communicates with Tk's wish program as a separate process. The library provides:

• low-level functions to directly communicate with wish, suitable for writing additional extensions
• high-level API to write GUI applications with minimal knowledge of Tk.

Example

A simple hello-world example:

use rstk::*;

fn main() {
  let root = rstk::start_wish().unwrap();

  let hello = rstk::make_label(&root);
  hello.text("Hello from Rust/Tk");

  hello.grid().layout();

  rstk::mainloop();
}
