1. Tkir: Image viewer and point selection tools
2. Tkll: Layerline viewing and selection tools
3. Tkctf: CTF analysis tool
4. Tklat: Lattice analysis tool
5. Tkll.so: Support library for tkll and tkctf

New Features:

• Boxing support
  We've had a lot of requests for this one and here it is! By invoking Tkir with the optional "-b" argument, or by selecting "Box Selection" from the "Tools" menu, or by running "tksel" (which is a link to Tkir), you can box sections of an image and write them out. Left-click to box, right-click and drag removes them.
• Improved point selection
  You can now right-click and drag a box around a series of points marked on an image (in Tkir) and de-select a number of points at once. This uses the same binding method as the new Boxing support, although the Tcl/Tk procedure code is different.
• Printing support
  We've also added the ability to print the contents of the image window in Tkir/Tklat to a postcript file or directly to a printer. By default you'll get an example of printers in your ~/.tkirrc file when you run tkir. If you wish you can remove your ~/.tkirrc file (make a backup first!) and then re-run tkir to get a brand new one. You can print portrait or landscape, and can print to a printer and a file at the same time! Any annotations you make in the image window are automatically included in the output.
• Check shared library versions
  For Tkir and Tklat, this is libtkImgDip.so and for Tkll and Tkctf it's Tkll.so. This ensures full feature compatibility between Tcl/Tk code and supporting shared libraries. Related to this, Tkll and Tkctf now require shared libraries and will not function without them. The "compat" procedures were buggy compared to the Tkll.so code so we've decided to do away with them.
• Byte Swapping on demand
  Note that now libtkImgDip.so writes and reads SUPRIM files in an endian-independant manner, so you can look at files from different platforms. And, it now supports the new MRC image2000 format as well as the older MRC format, all automatically!! Also, some more good news: we've released the source code for libtkImgDip.so along with our latest New Release of Suprim and Phoelix!!!
• Bug fixes
  As with our previous releases, this software includes a number of bugfixes from output formats to syntax errors and crashes.

This stuff is NOT for the faint of heart. New features will usually imply new bugs, untested software, and a host of other problems. If you don't like change, this stuff is not for you. But if you like being the first one on the block with a new toy, then read on...

This stuff is constantly under development and is as such unsupported software. If you find a bug you think we should know about, you can send email to amisoftware@scripps.edu, but we probably won't have time to send a response if you ask for help with this development release.

Enough rambling, go now and grab the latest stuff below. You'll get a gzipped tarfile. Just gunzip and untar it to find everything you need including installation instructions. Enjoy! Check back every few months and see if newer versions are available.

NOTE: As of tkir version 1.6.x, the minimum Tcl/Tk revision required is now 8.3.x. Also note that you'll need to download libtkImgDip.so 1.4 seperately.
