TSIPP - 3D Graphics Toolkit for Tcl/Tk

Introduction

TSIPP is a 3-D image specification and rendering toolkit for use with Tcl and Tk. It provides a Tcl command interface to SIPP, the SImple Polygon Processor library. This provides a command interface for creating 3-dimensional scenes and rendering them using a scanline z-buffer algorithm. The Tcl interpretive programming language is used to provide a powerful, yet simple interface to this library. The scene may be written to either a PPM format file, as defined by the PBMPlus toolkit or a RLE file, as defined by the Utah Raster Toolkit.

An interface to render to a Tk photo image is also provided. Events such as button presses may take place while rendering is in progress.
