That is all I need at the moment, with no embedded controls, just lines, 
fills, and a few text labels.

I had the impression, without diving deeply into the doc, that jeszra is 
not something I can call from a Python program but is a stand-alone app 
for designing guis, with one of the output possibilities being svg and 
another tkinter-based classes that could be used in a Python program.

I will look into it further when I need that.

Thanks for the hint.
