I'm honestly not familiar with animation in Tk's canvas widget. If I were
going to set out right now to do animation in an FXCanvas, though, I guess I
would set up a timer to fire every n milliseconds and then erase and redraw
the canvas. A better approach, which would avoid flickering, would instead
draw into an offscreen buffer (like an FXImage) and then blit that image to
the canvas in one shot.
