I think I killed my last post trying to fix a typo. I'm very new to
using NNTP. Forgive me if this is a close duplicate to something you
already have in your inbox.
Anyway, my corrected message goes like something like this:
There are two better (more common) ways to do this:
1. Use the tag keyword argument when creating the canvas_image:
pic=canvas.create_image(1,1,anchor="nw", image=image, tag="some_tag")
2. Use the Canvas.addtag_withtag method:
canvas.addtag_withtag('some_tag', pic)
I have yet to find Tkinter-specific documentation on the Canvas.addtag
method, but the Tk documentation suggests this has the same affect as above:
canvas.addtag("some_tag", "withtag", pic )
