- I would very much like to be able to use color images the same way

- 1) It only looks applicable to someone writing C code, not wish scripts.
- 2) Who knows if its up to date or not.

- Does anyone already done this stuff? I don't want to have to wait for
- future versions of Tk to do simple stuff like displaying images.
- I wrote the TkPixmap patch to add support for color pixmaps to Tk 2.3.
- Right after Tk 3.0 came out I ported the patch and posted it to John
- Ousterhout. He said he will probably try to incorporate it into Tk
- 3.1. If it is not part of Tk 3.1 I will publish the patch after Tk 3.1
- is out. The complete patch is very big (for a small patch ;-), so I
- want to wait for Tk 3.1, and see if it is incorporated.
