I just tried your script, and over here the line drawn with

>   def drawLine (self, pa, pb, color):
>     self.canvas.create_line (pa.x, pa.y, pb.x, pb.y, fill = color)

has a width of 1 pixel and does not include the end point. Therefore the 
"line" drawn with

>   def drawPoint (self, p, color):
>     self.canvas.create_line (p.x, p.y, p.x, p.y, fill = color)

does not show up at all. You could try to specify the line width explicitly:

   def drawPoint (self, p, color):
     self.canvas.create_line (p.x, p.y, p.x+1, p.y, fill=color, width=1)

If that doesn't work (or there's too much overhead) use pillow to prepare an 
image and show that.

Another random idea: if you have a high resolution display your OS might 
blow up everything. In that case there would be no fix on the application 
level.
