[GRASS-dev] NVIZ X11 Interface

NVIZ for TclTk Aqua ONLY works well with 8.5. I’m not sure about 8.6 but it is probably OK too.

Note that the Tcl/Tk version of NVIZ has all of the code needed to run

natively on MacOSX. You need to build with --with-opengl=osx, and also

ensure that the Tk version which it finds is a native version.

I’m fairly sure that it has worked (to an extent) in the past, but

none of the GRASS developers with a Mac seem particularly interested

in maintaining it.

I think that you may need to use Tk 8.4, as the MacOSX version of Togl

seems to have problems with 8.5 (this is second-hand and from memory).

Search the grass-dev archives for NVIZ, Togl, Mac, OSX for more

details.

Ah, yes, TclTk Aqua would be not-X11 also. Actually, TclTk Aqua NVIZ works best with 8.5, I thought. Or even only with 8.5?
