in thread Tk::Canvas and using stipples

This looks amazingly like my test code, except I have three circles red, green, and blue overlapping in the usual way. However, your code produces exactly the same non-effect as mine.

Just in case you are seeing something different to me, I have uploaded a pixel grab png of your demo above as my homenode pic. Does it look different on your machine?

    Yeah, there is something wrong with your Tk, maybe you are using windows? Here is what I see screenshot

      Hmm. Overnight I completely wiped 5.8 from my machine and installed afresh. I just re-ran your sample and got exactly the same results. Seems like there is either a bug or a limitation in Tk 804.027 on Win32 :(

      I wonder if it is a known/documented limitation or just something that hasn't been reported. Where is the best place to ask?

      Anyway, many thanks for the sample* and confirmation. At least I can stop pursuing a lost cause now :)

        The best place to ask is the newsgroup comp.lang.perl.tk That is where the tk experts hang out, and one of them would know.
