#
# ::crosshair::crosshair --
#
#       Displays a pair of cross-hairs in a canvas widget.  The
#       cross-hairs track the pointing device.
#
# Parameters:
#       w    - The path name of the canvas
#       args - Remaining args are treated as options as for
#              [$w create line].  Of particular interest are
#              -fill and -dash.
#
# Results:
#       None.
#
# Side effects:
#       Adds the 'crosshair' bind tag to the widget so that 
#       crosshairs will be displayed on pointing device motion.
#

#
# ::crosshair::off -
#
#       Removes the crosshairs from a canvas widget
#
# Parameters:
#       w - The canvas from which the crosshairs should be removed
#
# Results:
#       None.
#
# Side effects:
#       If the widget has crosshairs, they are removed. The 'Crosshair'
#       bind tag is removed so that mouse motion will not restore them.

#              ones include -fill and -dash

# ::crosshair::bbox_add --

#	NOTE: Bounding boxes can overlap to the point of being identical.
#
# Parameters:

#	The cmd is called with 7 arguments: The widget, and the x- and
