Yes, I've tried a canvas...Creating and using a canvas with Tk is very easy...
the problem comes when trying it with AdaTk... we return to the same, the
lack of documentantion about the libraries

A TK GUI is something I hadn't thought about...I'll take a look to find one
and try to use it, many thanks... And about a Tk book, I have some and also
on-line tutorials...but return to the same: creating and using a canvas is
easy under Tk, but not under AdaTk :(

Thanks very much,
