Re: [TCLCORE] TIP #262: Background Images for Frames

[Peter M. <pe...@pd...>]

Right, well I wonder if background image support might not be more useful
if added to [text] and [canvas].   Then a canvas could be used to achieve=
 the=20
same thing.  Richard Hipp implemented bgimage for his [html] widget (and =
I=20
extended it to support table regions) so at least I know this to be=20
technically feasible.

Currently a bgimage can be implement in canvas at the script level, but i=
t is=20
messy and there is no such option for text...
