[PD-dev] Who made pddplink look like a hyperlink?

[B. Bogart]

Nice work!

Adding a variable in the class for state (visited or unvisited) and
drawing blue or purple depending on the state is substantial?

Or simply adding a new tk font definition in pddplink during init, and
using that when drawing? Maybe fontbomb would break..

I'll tinker it in mid to late october (next time I'll have time!)
