Abstract

In this paper we describe the implementation of several graphical programming paradigms (Model View Controller, Fudgets, and Functional Animations) using the GUI library TkGofer. This library relies on a combination of monads and multiple-parameter type classes to provide an abstract, type safe interface to Tcl/Tk. We show how choosing the right abstractions makes the given implementations surprisingly concise and easy to understand.
