TCL_GetVar — Get a tcl/tk variable value
value=TCL_GetVar(Varname [,interp])
character string. Contains the name of the tcl/tk variable.
optional character string parameter. Name of the slave tcl interpreter in which the operation has to be performed. If not provided, it defaults to the main tcl interpreter created by Scilab.
may be a character string or a strings matrix. Contains the
value of the tcl/tk variable varname in the interpreter
interp.
When tcl/tk support is enabled in Scilab, this routine can be used to retreive the value of a tcl/tk variable.
TCL_EvalStr("toplevel .tst1");
// creates a toplevel TK window.
TCL_EvalStr("entry .tst1.e -textvariable tvar");
// create an editable entry
TCL_EvalStr("set tvar foobar");
// set the entry value
TCL_EvalStr("pack .tst1.e");
// pack the entry widget. It appears on the screen.
text=TCL_GetVar("tvar")
// retrieve the variable value
// change the entry text and repeat the last command ...
//delete the toplevel TK window.
