I'm trying to draw an angled line across the corner
of a rectange.

The example below (which needs to be displayed in a
fixed pitch font), shows the top left of a rectange
with the corner a 0,0. The "*" indicate the line of
the rectange, "." are the background and "+" is the
line I wish to draw.

Using the following command...

$name create line 0 2 2 0 -width 1 -fill red

...I would expect this...

**+*****
*+......
+.......
*.......
*.......
*.......
*.......

...but I get this...

********
*+......
+.......
*.......
*.......
*.......
*.......

...If I try...

$name create line 2 0 0 2 -width 1 -fill red

...I get...

**+*****
*+......
*.......
*.......
*.......
*.......
*.......

...How do I get the required line?

Many Thanks,
