I imagine the problem is the viewport widget creates a "clipping"
window to keep the child of the viewport widget constrained to between
the scrollbars.  In other words, the viewport's window (where you are
drawing your lines) is hidden behind a second window -- the clipping
window.

Suggestions:
1. Try writing your own widget to do your graphics, it really isn't
that hard!

2. Keep using the HP WorkSpace widget

3. Try creating another widget, such as Label, as a child of the
Viewport and do your drawing into that widget.
