Hi! I recently learned that Chimera has produced some patches to the Togl widget that allow it to work with Cocoa based Tk: http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/browser/trunk/foreign/Togl Are these updates available under Togl's current license or are they restricted by the Chimera license? Thanks, CY
Hi CY, You are welcome to use our Chimera Togl patches for Cocoa and NSOpenGL (the Mac Cocoa OpenGL API) under either the Togl license or the Chimera license. I developed these patches but have not done the work to include them in the Togl SourceForge code repository. They have only been used with Chimera and were developed to allow us to distribute a 64-bit version of the Chimera application on Mac. So Togl / Cocoa / NSOpenGL has only been tested in one application, problems can be expected, and I will not be able to provide support. Tom

It is our intent that all of the patches for open-source software in the chimera/foreign directory be contributed back to the respective projects, and so you may consider the patches available under the same license as the respective projects. Most of the patches are to make the software compile in chimera's build environment and are not generally applicable, but some, like the Togl Cocoa changes are. In my other role as the Togl maintainer, I would welcome a complete patch that merged the Cocoa support in to Togl. The missing part is revising the configure script to detect that Cocoa is being used in Tk -- there are the post-8.6b1 Tk versions and Apple's version that works with their own Tk 8.5.7. (FYI, Togl 2.1 is waiting to be released in the CVS sources at togl.sourceforge.net, and adding Cocoa would merit a 2.2 release). - Greg On 01/04/2011 04:39 PM, Clifford Yapp wrote:
