in reply to console graphics
G'day LloydRice,
You might like to look at the code I posted recently in "Re: Losing my memory".
That was dealing with another issue, but seems to have all the elements that you are looking for: "writing images"; "in a newly created window"; and Tk::Canvas handles "colored shapes and text" as well as images.
If you want to display images that are already on your system, take a look at Tk::FileSelect. And, Tk has documentation for all of the basic widgets.
