QOTW: "Thank you gentlemen. I did not realize that 'catching' close would
return the program's return value. Tcl makes these tasks easy (with the
group's help)!" - Mark Okamura on c.l.t
"FLTK seems to be pretty well engineered, and I respect it, but I want
something more dynamic with more of it written in Tcl." - George Staplin

Announce: tkpath 0.2
This package implements path drawing modelled after its SVG counterpart,
see http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/.
It contains replacements for all canvas drawing items except for the text item.
The core part is the path item which is very flexible. For items that are
similar to existing canvas items I have prepended the names with a "p".
The items are:
path prect circle ellipse pline
polyline ppolygon pimage
They are typically much more flexible than their canvas counterparts.
Some features:
antialiasing affine transforms opacity
linear gradients radial gradients
It is also possible to define styles to be used for sets of items.
This is in line with modern design patterns that separate the apperance from
the content.
