For a lecture, i agree with your vision, but my goal (at the moment) is
more to be sure to not make a mistake while looking at the picture
inside VMD (and probably to its dynamics when it'll be launched).
The draw commands seems to fit my needs, but i have two further questions :
1 - how can i interact with the created label (i used the tkconsole to
create the label, with the commande line graphics top text {52 22 12}
"HI") : removing it, selecting it, ... I mean : it the label available
somewhere in the interface ? If not, what can i use ?
2 - is it possible to change the text properties (not only size) :
colors, font, ...
Thanks in advance for your answers.
