This would be a very useful feature. I don't know the reasons of the
guy in referred thread, but the case when it is useful is buttons in Win9x
style -- those should grow with title font size, and pixmap buttons are
absolute unsuitable here.
Just two notes.
First, in addition to lines/rects/circles a filled polygon is needed (to
draw all those [X] and alikes).
Second, IMHO, names of the commands should be as short as possible --
like "lineto", "rectto", etc. Otherwise definitions will look just too
heavy.
BTW, is it currently possible to "lift the pen" with AddButtonStyle, i.e.
draw two disjoint shapes?
