# This module is part of the PyWare open source project that provides modules and
# and tools for use in the classroom. This module provides classes for creating
# top-level GUI windows that can be used for creating and displaying simple
# geometric shapes and color digital images. Complete documentation of the module
# is available at http://graphics.necaseweb.org.
## Version 1.1
# modified by D. Thiebaut to allow better use of drawPoly()
#

## This class defines a basic top level window that can be opened on the
# desktop and used to produce simple graphical drawings. It contains a
# canvas on which geometric shapes can be drawn and manipulated.

#--- The graphics canvas.
## This class defines a canvas on which geometric shapes and text can be
# drawn. The canvas uses discrete Cartesian coordinates >= 0 with (0,0)
# being in the upper-left corner of the window. Unlike a canvas that a
# painter might use, shapes drawn on a graphics canvas are stored as
# objects that can later be reconfigured without having to redraw them.
# A collection of shape properties are also maintained as part of the
# canvas. These properties, which can be changed by calling specific
# methods, are used in drawing the various shapes and text. All shapes
# and text are drawn using the current context or the property settings
# at the time the shape is first drawn.
