OK, try the one below instead (with ::scroll call removed). Also, plase
don't forget to do the followign test with large graphics objects and
test scrollbar behavior:

1) create iemlib's number2
2) adjust its height to 60 and its font size to 50
3) drag it as far to the top as possible and what you will likely
discover is that it fails to reach the top corner *or* creates
scrollbars even though the object fits comfortably within the window.
This is not the case AFAIK with the version below.

    global pdtk_canvas_mouseup_xmaxval

	#bbox all is not accurate enough
	#particularly when using large iemlib objects
	#so we calculate canvas size manually
    #set size [$name bbox all]
