Tim,
The is a tk canvas drag items example in the Python source code I
think... lemme see
Python25/Python-2.5/Demo/tkinter/matt/canvas-moving-w-mouse.py
in fact there are a few, so first grab a tar ball of the source code and
take a look....
While I like the canvas as much as the next guy, have you thought about
using a 'normal' slider widget? (AKA Tkinter.Scale) these can even be
put onto a Canvas (via a canvas window item)
Cheers,
Martin.
