Drawing onto a text widget in tkinter

Question

I was wondering whether it is possible to use some of the tkinter canvas drawing methods on a text widget. Ideally I would have the text widget placed onto the canvas so that I can draw onto the canvas and make it look like it shows up on the text widget.

Answer 1

No, it is not possible to draw over or into a tkinter Text widget. You can, however, add text to a canvas with the create_text method and draw over that.
