in reply to Shrinking Pie Analog Countdown Timer

<sigh> ...for what values of "best?"

if "best" relates to your ability to write the code for the ap you've described, best is probably tied to your existing skills... and you merely disclaimed skills using graphics. Tell us more....

if "best" refers to the smallest || fastest || most easily maintained || some other value, you'll have make that judgement.

That said, and despite utter inexperience with TK (tho we have numerous folk here who are highly skillful) this sounds like a perl/TK project... and you might help youself by searching for nodes on the topic

    By "best," I meant quickest to startup from the Mac desktop and reasonably simple to program. I don't know anything about graphics commands in Perl. I'm not a programmer, but I did learn enough DOS Perl about 3 years ago to manage and perform calculations on files used by some custom DOS-based psychophysiology software. I haven't done any programming since, except for a little MATLAB stuff.

    BTW, I have no idea what TK is....

        Thanks, for the info.

        I tried running a TK script on my Mac. It didn't work, probably because TK is not already installed. This would imply that I'd have to install TK on every Mac in the lab--something that I'd rather not have to do.

        Is there an easier to get this done with software (like Perl) that's comes preinstalled on Macs?
