** Description **

[RAI] My son recently discovered an animation program called "Pivot Stickfigure
Animator" by Peter Bone.

At first it looked like something that could be written in just a few lines of Tcl, but after working on it for a bit I believe there is more involved.  The code below only covers the "Poser" part of the program:

(1) saving the figure to a file

(2) saving multiple poses to a file

(3) replaying the poses
