Robert Bruce Findler

 (require drracket/tool-lib)
 (require drscheme/tool-lib)

This manual describes DrRacket’s tools interface. It assumes familiarity with Racket, as described in Guide: Racket, DrRacket, as described in DrRacket: Programming Environment, and the Framework, as described in Framework: Racket GUI Application Framework.

The drscheme/tool-lib library is for backward compatibility; it exports all of the bindings of drracket/tool-lib.
