[PD-dev] tclpd GUI API thought

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Hey all,

The tclpd API/loader has gotten me thinking about making a pure Tcl  
API for writing GUIs.  I was thinking a bit about how to handle the  
Tcl code for the separate pd and pd-gui processes.  Is there a way in  
Tcl to get the contents of a procedure and stick it into a variable?

I was thinking that it would be nice if the person writing the GUI  
object didn't have to think about the separate processes and  
sys_vgui.  Instead, the tclpd API would take the functions that run  
on pd-gui, and handle sending them over to pd-gui via sys_vgui.  So  
in the API, it would just look like one thing.

Make sense?  Any thoughts, idea, suggestions?
