"Tk" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Tk and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 February 7 § Tk until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 22:01, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is "Tk" short for Toolkit?

I don't see that this is addressed in the article. Is Tk short for Toolkit or something else or just two random letters with no meaning? 69.161.125.36 (talk) 17:22, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

-I would like to revert to the previous version that contained a list of useful links of Tk bindings for various languages. I am unclear as to the reason they were removed as the rules in the WP:EL page allows them.

+I don't see that this is addressed in the article. Is Tk short for Toolkit or something else or just two random letters with no meaning? [[Special:Contributions/69.161.125.36|69.161.125.36]] ([[User talk:69.161.125.36|talk]]) 17:22, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
-"The most unusual and versatile features of Tk are its canvas and text widgets, which provide capabilities found in few, if any other, widget toolkits." <- I am curious about what these are (because I don't know Tk). Shouldn't there be at least some examples about these special capabilities? --[[User:Albertzeyer|Albertzeyer]] ([[User talk:Albertzeyer|talk]]) 19:22, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
-The Tk canvas widget aparently came from Joel Bartlett's ezd program and has been added to GTK.  The origins can be found in the <ref>http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TkCmd/canvas.htm tcl/tk man page</ref> under Credits.  I have taken the addition to GTK on faith from this tcl/tk wiki discussion <ref>http://wiki.tcl.tk/10437</ref> and have not yet visited Jim Getty's text or the original source.  If this information is correct, it would appear that "...found in few, if any..." is incorrect.
-In TK, as I recall, canvas is used to define a widget to which other widgets can be bound; a new window widget that contains other widgets and thus allows structured graphics.  In this discussion from 2006, Havoc Pennington, goes into some depth on the definition of a canvas widget for GTK+  <ref>http://lists-archives.org/gtk-devel/03455-gtk-canvas.html</ref> The issue seems to go back at least to 2000 when gnome_canvas was re-ported into GTK+ with the new name gtk_canvas <ref>http://freshmeat.net/projects/gtkcanvas/</ref>.  There is an apparently unrelated, vector graphic canvas_widget of apple origin in HTML5.  <ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canvas_element.</ref>  --[[User:Pendare|Pendare]] ([[User talk:Pendare|talk]]) 10:50, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
