This package provides different Tcl tools:

• Simple wrapper to some 2D plots of Gnuplot - "src/gnuplotutil.tcl"
• Some math function - "src/mathutil.tcl"
• Extension of expr commands list - "src/extexpr.tcl"
• Measure - implementation of .meas statement - "src/measure.tcl"
• Basic procedure to read touchstone .s2p files - "src/touchstoneutil.tcl"
• Collection of functions to work with 2-port network parameters - "src/rfutil.tcl"

Installation and dependencies

Packages are written in pure Tcl and relies on Tcllib. The only necessary external dependency is the argparse package.

• Tcllib
• argparse

To install, run

./configure
sudo make install

If you have different versions of Tcl on the same machine, you can set the path to this version with -with-tcl=path flag to configure script.

After installation you can run make test to test installed packages.

On Windows you can use MSYS64 UCRT64 environment, the above steps are identical if you run it from UCRT64 shell. After installing the package, you can move tcl_tools package folder (usually located in C:\msys64\ucrt64\lib\) to path listed in auto_path variable of your local Tcl installation.

On the other hands, because the package is Tcl only, you can just download zip package in release section. And then put this folder to path listed in auto_path variable of your local Tcl installation.

Supported platforms

Any OS that has tcl8.6/tcl9.0 (Linux, Windows, FreeBSD).

Documentation

You can find some documentation here. Also on Linux you can open manpages installed after run of make install.
