You don't want that. Tkinter's Canvas is a Smart Canvas, each lines and shapes corresponds to a Tcl/Tk object. If you want to plot a 800*600 image pixel-per-pixel in Tkinter's Canvas, then Tkinter would have to create 480000 Tcl Objects. If you want to draw pixels and lines directly, Tkinter Canvas isn't suitable for that. Try using a different Canvas, one that uses a Stateless Canvas. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
