Thanks for the welcome!

Right, I know that rounding has to occur eventually but if I extend my line ltk seems to be able to draw an arrow head that looks rotated to a precision greater than the 45 degree increments allowed by a single pixel long line. So I'm wondering if it's possible to get that precision without the long "tail" on the arrow. Googling has turned up this which seems to indicate that my idea would work directly in tk so does ltk perform the rounding earlier?

Thanks,

Nate

No problem! Welcome! :)

No sure I can see the point here as you did not provided any code but
if you are rendering on the screen, as I guess, you will have to deal
with rounding anyway: if you want to draw at x = 1.5 (for example) you
have to decide which pixel draw (x = 1 or x = 2) as there is "nothing"
between pixel.
