Are you sure? At
http://wiki.tcl.tk/14545 I read:
"Tkpath 0.3.0 provides a new canvas widget that is supposed to be 100%
compatible with tk::canvas."
and then there are things in the canvas that are not supported by tkpath.
AFAIK it is the eps export - arguably a PDF export (via pdf4tcl) and/or
SVG export would be more useful today then EPS. And a misfeature of the
canvas: when you scale the content, photo images are not scaled -
because it is not supported. tkpath does scale them.
