Hi, I am working on code to draw tens or hundreds of thousands of squares and connecting lines using the tkinter canvas, and it is incredibly slow because, as I understand it, the canvas keeps the individual shape objects around in memory and tests for the current visible bounding box to touch them, and redraws them.
I am wondering whether PIL's ImageDraw module behaves in this manner, or whether it instead just paints the shapes onto a raw pixel buffer, effectively "staining" the pixels, rather than holding onto thousands of identical objects. I assume that this would be much faster if it is the case. Thanks for your help, Jeff
