Tkined - a Tk based network editor


The Tkined network editor is a re-implementation of the original INED network editor based on the Tcl/Tk X11 toolkit. The main feature of Tkined is its programming interface that allows applications to use Tkined as a user interface. Most applications are written using Scotty, an extension for the Tool Command Language (Tcl) for network management applications.
