Thank you, Stephan, for providing a well worked out example continuing where
Morphic tutorials normally end. This is a real need to unearth functions
which have been there fore years but mostly unused.

The two video clips document the use cases of the code nicely.

A question not answered yet is: How do I export the panel with the cards as
an SVG file?

Hmm. What would be the best way to do that?
- I assume in Bloc with Cairo I should be able to use an SVGCanvas?

I thought that this was already possible with Morph>>drawOnAthensCanvas:

That does not imply it can be used to generate svg elements on the fly.
Athens  backend is based on a vector "drawing" library that does not
mean it can generate any vector drawing files ...
luckily, cairo can ! And with just a couple of native function  calls, we can
add this support to athens (see attached svg images)
