Hi,  
I posted this once before but am unable to find the previous posting by  
doing a search…my apology…

I’m doing some statistical processing and I need to plot some x-y  
curves…BLT does this very well.

I need to know how to integrate BLT into Ruby…

Thx

(ps. please, no Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato jokes)

Please tell me the result of [ruby-talk:224292] with  
your install-path of BLT.

# If you have a Tcl/Tk source code for BLT,

# Ruby/Tk can load it by Tk.load\_tclscript() or

# Tk.ip\_eval(“Tcl/Tk script text”).
