                       ANNOUNCE: tkpath 0.2.4
                       ----------------------

Tkpath is an extension package to Tcl/Tk that provides much improved
graphic drawing capabilities for the canvas widget. It is best
described
by looking at the sample web pages:
http://tclbitprint.sourceforge.net/tkpath/quartz/index.html
http://tclbitprint.sourceforge.net/tkpath/gdiplus/index.html
http://tclbitprint.sourceforge.net/tkpath/cairo/index.html

You will find some sparse documentation as well at:
http://tclbitprint.sourceforge.net/tkpath/README.txt

The code lives in the tclbitprint SourceForge project under the
'tkpath'
module, see http://sourceforge.net/projects/tclbitprint .
In cvs you will also find prebuilt shared libs for MacOSX, XP, and
linux.

New in 0.2.4 is:

1. New tkpath::surface command which creates in memory drawing
surfaces.
   All tkpath drawing commands supported. Export to a tk image when
finished.

2. Incompatible changes:
   o Gradients now created as tkpath::gradient create linear|
radial ...
   o The -fillgradient option is gone. Instead -fill takes either a tk
color
     or a gradient name.

3. Bugfixes. Several instabilities fixed:
   o Empty -text
   o Doing 'coords' repeatedly on path item
   o Empty gradient -stops
   o Various mem leaks

My Coccinella sources contain a SVG importer that can handle some SVG
files
but not all. See http://coccinella.sourceforge.net/ and the file in
cvs
coccinella/contrib/svg2can.tcl.
