QUESTION
1. Are there any known issues with tcl/tk? Should I be doing anything
different in the configuration?
2. When I try a simple plot command in either configuration (eg. plot(sin,
-pi, pi)), the plot window shows up immediately on my machine but the plot
itself takes all of two minutes to draw. I am not sure if the two issues are
related.
I would appreciate any help with this. Thanks.
