While poking around in the Tk Docs, I noticed Tk::Photo can take a -data option, I was attempting to see if this could lead to a solution by using Imagemagick to generate an image in memory, and use it as the input for the -data option, and just update it via a configure, unfortunately I can't figure out how to get Imagemagick to output the image data in a compatible format (it's ImagetoBlob method doesn't seem to do it quite right) I'm not familiar with any image packages other than Imagemagick, but if you are this may be a valuable route to explore, as you will only have a single image to update.
Also tried to do a simple writing an image with Imagemagick, as it seems fairly quick at it, and can draw primitives directly as you want. Eh, I'm a little to tired to try offering advice, can't even get my test script to function properly. If you're still having issues by tomorow I'll see if I can't beat Tk and Imagemagick into submission :)
Happy Coding

Nice info this -data parameter! I'll have a look at it. About Imagemagick, I have no experience with it, but by reading what you've written, it seems to be very similar to Imager. Anyway, it would be very nice to be able to write data in a binary format on Tk::Photo, instead of converting it to string format and deconverting again. Thanks for your help!
