thanks. I've now done the same for the new scalebar code as well.

I changed the default text color to white as the two are drawn
on top of each other. Note the text color is ignored. I will look
into this next.

on the contrary, thanks for filling in bits I missed.

No, Bob's changes didn't add to the panel, just finished the job I
started yesterday. You will need to add in the color selection code to
panel_arrow.tcl (I suggest copying it from panel_fringe.tcl).

For the scalebar panel I think we should wait until the arrow panel is
finalized, then just copy it vs. duplicating changes during development.


How do folks like the new shape of the north arrow? To me it looks a bit
like an arrowhead or spear. (shrug)
