How to draw shapes in Tkinter GUI application : Canvas Widget

Canvas Widget

Canvas widgets implement a box container(a rectangular area) used to draw shapes like

• circles
• line
• polygon etc.

Syntax:

            Canvas(master, options.........)

master : master is nothing but the window object (parent window for which Canvas needs to be created )

options : options are used to shape the label separated by comma's and to define action on click. Below is the list of options, can be passed while creating Canvas.

there are few options which may not work on mac, but work finely on windows and linux

Example for the Canvas widget, output screen shot is on top of this post
