(I have three posts delayed in moderator check needed. All with html format. Maybe this will break through. It's pure text.) As I start to warm up to PIL, I'd like to know a little more about what I might be able to do. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to overlay a mask over an image. That looks feasible through some combo of the convert method and the use of the alpha channel. It's quite conceivable that I will want to move the mask around the image with a mouse. Those are just a few things I have in mind.

I've become familiar with part of the Grayson book whose contents are partly available on the web. It's mostly about graphics, Tkinter and the Pmw toolkit. Chapter 10 below looks of interest in the sense that I would like to move objects around the canvas, and possible stretch objects. Is it possible to do these things in PIL (under Python Win)? Secondly, I really have no experience with Pmw, but it would be of interest to use it to see how his examples work. All of the book examples are on the web. Is Pmw a freebie, and still maintained?
