Logo is a drawing language designed for kids who do not know geometry 
but can imagine walking around on a dirt field and occasionally turning 
while dragging a stick or dripping paint. Part of the charm is 
discovering the patterns that emerge when simple actions are repeated.

The Python version, turtle, is built on top of tkinter and its Canvas 
widget. Since I *do* know coordinate geometry and don't care about the 
moving animal metaphor, I find it easier to use Canvas directly. This 
avoids the bugs and limitations (including speed) introduced by the 
turtle module.
