Richard Suchenwirth 2002-03-28 - Canvas widgets allow convenient display of polygons under program control. Here's a set of routines for interactive drawing and editing of polygons. Drawing is done with left-clicking at node positions, which first produces a line object; the polygon is completed when clicking on (or near) the first node a second time. For editing a polygon, each node is marked with a little square; you can:
The only "public" API is the polydraw command which assigns bindings to the specified canvas; the rest is internal works (but feel free to look ;-). For usage examples, see the little demo at end, which runs when this script is executed.
See also Affine transforms on a canvas for theory of movement and rotation, and Car racing in Tcl for enhanced rotation procs that handle groups of canvas items identified by a tag). }

HJG The second testcase shows how this can be used for drawing a polygon from a picture: the image is loaded into the canvas as a background-picture, and the lines are drawn above it. The coordinates can then be queried in the console, and pasted to proc ShowPoly or transfered to another script via cut&paste.
