I have heard of this problem, and I certainly don't want to prevent
better Tk-integrations for plotting. But canvases are portable and
part of every Tk implementation, i.e. the most generally available
solution. And I expect them to be fast enough for many routine tasks,
such as simple 2d line plots. So I still think there should be a driver
for them, maybe in addition to a special plotting widget.
