8.8. Canvas bitmap objects

A bitmap object on a canvas is shown as two colors, the background color (for 0 data values) and the foreground color (for 1 values).

To create a bitmap object on a canvas C, use:

    id = C.create_bitmap(x, y, *options ...)

which returns the integer ID number of the image object for that canvas.

The x and y values are the reference point that specifies where the bitmap is placed.

Options include:

Table 8. Canvas bitmap options

`activebackground`	These options specify the `background`, `bitmap`, and `foreground` values when the bitmap is active, that is, when the mouse is over the bitmap.
`activebitmap`
`activeforeground`
`anchor`	The bitmap is positioned relative to point (`x`, `y`). The default is anchor=`tk.CENTER`, meaning that the bitmap is centered on the (`x`, `y`) position. See Section 5.5, “Anchors” for the various `anchor` option values. For example, if you specify `anchor=tk.NE`, the bitmap will be positioned so that point (`x`, `y`) is located at the northeast (top right) corner of the bitmap.
`background`	The color that will appear where there are 0 values in the bitmap. The default is `background=''`, meaning transparent.
`bitmap`	The bitmap to be displayed; see Section 5.7, “Bitmaps”.
`disabledbackground`	These options specify the background, bitmap, and foreground to be used when the bitmap's `state` is `tk.DISABLED`.
`disabledbitmap`
`disabledforeground`
`foreground`	The color that will appear where there are 1 values in the bitmap. The default is `foreground='black'`.
`state`	By default, items are created with `state=tk.NORMAL`. Use `tk.DISABLED` to make the item grayed out and unresponsive to events; use `tk.HIDDEN` to make the item invisible.
`tags`	If a single string, the bitmap is tagged with that string. Use a tuple of strings to tag the bitmap with multiple tags. See Section 8.4, “`Canvas` tags”.
