Hi, the following code will draw a line advancing slowly from top left to bottom right, the condition is that i must draw it once only. so how i keep the plot from been erased when covered by other windows !!. i have tried many plans but failed. there is Update, and restore functions but it seems it is not working. after the wingui code i present a TK code to the same problem and it is working well. i wish you all a happy new year 2010
