by default, the coordinate system is aligned with the widget's upper
left corner, which means that things you draw will be covered by the
inner border.
to fix this, you can either set the border width to zero, add scrollbars
to the widget (this fixes the coordinate system), or explicitly reset the
coordinate system:
w.xview_moveto(0)
w.yview_moveto(0)
