The text color to be used when the text is
active, that is, when the mouse is over it. For
option values, see fill below.
|
activestipple
|
The stipple pattern to be used when the text is
active. For option values, see stipple below.
|
anchor |

meaning that the text is centered vertically and
horizontally around position (anchor=tk.SW, the text will be positioned
so its lower left corner is at point ( |
disabledfill

The text color to be used when the text object's
state is tk.DISABLED.
For option values, see fill below.
|

|
fill |
The default text color is black, but you can
render it in any color by setting the fill option to that color. See Section 5.3, “Colors”.
|
font | If you don't like the default font, set this option to any font value. See Section 5.4, “Type fonts”. |
justify |
For multi-line textual displays, this option
controls how the lines are justified: tk.LEFT (the default), tk.CENTER, or tk.RIGHT.
|
offset
| The stipple offset to be used in rendering the text. For more information, see Section 5.14, “Matching stipple patterns”. |
state
|
By default, the text item's state is tk.NORMAL. Set this option to tk.DISABLED to make in unresponsive to
mouse events, or set it to tk.HIDDEN
to make it invisible.
|
stipple |
A bitmap indicating how the text will be
stippled. Default is stipple='',
which means solid. A typical value would be
stipple='gray25'. See Section 5.7, “Bitmaps”.
|
tags |
If a single string, the text object is tagged with
that string. Use a tuple of strings to tag the
object with multiple tags. See Section 8.4, “Canvas tags”.
|
text |
The text to be displayed in the object, as a
string. Use newline characters ('\n') to force line breaks.
|
width |
If you don't specify a width
option, the text will be set inside a rectangle
as long as the longest line. However, you can
also set the width option to a
dimension, and each line of the text will be
broken into shorter lines, if necessary, or even
broken within words, to fit within the specified
width. See Section 5.1, “Dimensions”.
|
You can change the text displayed in a text item.
A number of canvas methods allow you to manipulate text
items. See Section 8.6, “Methods on Canvas widgets”, especially
dchars, focus, icursor, index, and insert.
