Arguments

:varname character string. Contains the name of the tcl/tk variable. : :interp optional character string parameter. Name of the slave tcl

interpreter in which the operation has to be performed. If not provided, it defaults to the main tcl interpreter created by Scilab.
: :value may be a character string or a strings matrix. Contains the
value of the tcl/tk variable varname in the interpreter interp.

Examples

`TCL_EvalStr`_("toplevel .tst1");

// creates a toplevel TK window.
`TCL_EvalStr`_("entry .tst1.e -textvariable tvar");

// create an editable entry
`TCL_EvalStr`_("set tvar foobar");

// set the entry value
`TCL_EvalStr`_("pack .tst1.e");

// pack the entry widget. It appears on the screen.
text=TCL_GetVar("tvar")

// retrieve the variable value
// change the entry text and repeat the last command ...
//delete the toplevel TK window.
`TCL_EvalStr`_("destroy .tst1")
