Accessing the UV System at UTCS
Accessing the UV System at UTCS
Warning
/u/markus/pub/uv2. The UV
system is started by executing /p/bin/uv2 which is linked
to the correct script for your machine. Thus, if /p/bin
is in your default path, you can start the UV system simply by executing
% uv2
possibly with additional
command line options.
You also need to make sure that your TK_LIBRARY variable
is set correctly to the Tk library directory. On Suns this is currently
the directory /p/lib/tk, you can set it with
% setenv TK_LIBRARY /p/lib/tk
Executing the uv2 script starts up the UV window shell
uvwish and then processes various Tcl/Tk scripts for
building the user interface. For a more detailed discussion of how the
UV system is executing you can look at the description of the
UV system architecture.
Interaction with the UV system can then take place entirely through
the graphical user interface. The
uvwish shell is also available and experienced users can
take advantage of it for low-level access, scripting, or specific
customizations of the UV systems. Doing so, however, requires an
intimate understanding of the Tcl interface of the system, and is best
avoided by most users.
