Hiding/showing Tkinter.Canvas items

Before I start moving them into dark corners of the canvas - is there a way
to hide/show Tkinter canvas items without having to maintain their original
position externally? All I've found so far is sortvisu.py in the demos that
toggles their coordinates between (0,0,0,0) and the real position/size.

Thanks,
Peter

Not that I know of, and there's apparently nothing like that in the tcl/tk
manual pages. The only thing I can think of is to configure the fill and/or
outline for the items to '', making them invisible. But:
- you have to remember their original fill/outline outside the canvas
- bindings on the items still fire when they are invisible, which may not be
what you want...

It seems to me that in my "again and again repainting canvas" script the rendering is slowing down as the time goes. It is visible even after 10 seconds. Any idea why? -- geon The exception is rule.

Please take a look at and run the code snippet shown below. It creates a canvas with vertical & Horizontal scroll-bars. If you shrink the window to smaller than the area of the canvas, the scroll-bars work as advertised. That's great. However, if you click the Left Mouse button, it calls code which expands the width of the canvas by 100 pixels. The area being viewed expands correspondingly..... BUT I DON'T WANT IT TO!!

Tkinter makes it very easy to drag jpeg images around on a canvas, but I would like to have a "target" change color when the cursor dragging an image passes over it. I seem to be blocked by the fact that the callbacks that might tell the target that the mouse has entered it (<Enter>, <Any-Enter>, even <Motion>) aren't called if the mouse's button is down. What am I missing? Have I failed to find the right Tkinter document? Is Tkinter...

I hate to do this, but I've thoroughly exhausted google search. Yes, it's that pesky root window and I have tried withdraw to no avail. I'm assuming this is because of the methods I'm using. I guess my question is two-fold. 1) How do I get rid of that window? 2) Any comments in general? I am just learning python (and coding with classes), so I'm sure there are things I should pound into my head before I learn bad habits. Here's the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
