Re: Shrinking Pie Analog Countdown Timer

A Tk canvas could do this very easily, I could whip up a script in less than an hour. Maybe you should concentrate on how to get Tk working on a Mac. It can be done, because quite a few Tk developers run Macs. Maybe look at Installing Tk (and other modules) on Mac OS X or post another question on installing Tk on a Mac.

Most likely you have no X server running.  Find and install X11.app, a
+nd do
the make test while in an X11 window.
