Well, this doesn't really solve your Tk problem, but you could integrate
graphics with a GUI using cairoDevice and RGtk2. The cairoDevice package
supports resizing, and using par("plt") and par("usr") as in the tkrplot
example you cited allows for mapping between device and data coordinates.See the playwith package for an example of interactive graphics using cairoDevice.
