Hi Danny, I'm trying to use your simple graphics module. The problems that I wrote to you about earlier, were related to installing a new version of IDLE that came with VPython and overwrote my default install that came with Python2.0. I've got that fixed, now. So, I've put your graphics module under Python20/Lib/ and when I try to run your little script below, a Tkinter window comes up, but it is blank, and it stays blank. ???

It's simple enough so that the user just needs to type: : :### :from graphics import * : :def drawBox(x1, y1, x2, y2): : """Draws a box where the upper left is (x1, y1), and the : lower right is (x2, y2).""" : positionPen(x1, y1) : drawLineTo(x2, y1) : drawLineTo(x2, y2) : drawLineTo(x1, y2) : drawLineTo(x1, y1) : :drawBox(-100, 100, 100, -100) :### : :to get a box drawn. By default, the Canvas is 400x400, and the user can :send commands like: : : drawLine : drawPoint : setRGBColor : :without having to worry about creating a canvas. Also, it uses normal :rectangular coordinates, so (0, 0) is at the center, (200, 200) is the :upper right corner, and (-200, -200) is the bottom left. : :Please give suggestions on this; I just typed this up yesterday, so it :surely has room for improvement and clarity. : :I hope this is useful!
