Re: Referencing values in an array

Stefan,
thanks a lot for your message and help.
I'm still a bit confused as I'm totally new to TCL and I'm not sure if I understand all your suggestions and how they would make my (actually more complex) application easier or more elegant.

what an object system
should do for you. XOTcl does (in many flavours).

Well, I have many Slides each with a lot of shapes (it's a powerpoint import application). So I don't want to have ALL instances of MyShape but only instances of a given slide. This might be doable by defining another identifier for the slide but creating a container holding the references to all instances is the typical way I used to program. There might be better solutions especially in tcl.

btw: What is the difference between "my" and "self"? Does "my" reference the instance and self the current object/methode "self" is in?
