What Donal refers to is the garden variety of OO-type programming
that is going, say, with Plotchart in Tklib: the creation commands for
a particular kind of plot create a new command that then dispatches
based on a table of methods. In a sense a simple solution to the problem,
but on the other hand this is typically what OO is used for in the
context of Tk GUIs and the like. Other packages do it in a different
but related way.
