"""
Animated Towers of Hanoi using Tk with optional bitmap file in background.

Usage: hanoi.py [n [bitmapfile]]

n is the number of pieces to animate; default is 4, maximum 15.

The bitmap file can be any X11 bitmap file (look in /usr/include/X11/bitmaps for
samples); it is displayed as the background of the animation.  Default is no
bitmap.
