tkinter manual question

The 'Canvas Methods' section of the online Intro to Tkinter
(http://www.pythonware.com/library/tk...02-methods.htm)
refers (without explanation) to something called "bbox". What is this?
TIA

Do you mean this section ?

bbox(items) => tuple, bbox() => tuple

Returns the bounding box for the given items. If the specifier is
omitted, the bounding box for all items are returned. Note that the
bounding box is approximate and may differ a few pixels from the real
value.
