I am using Tkinter's Canvas to create simple graphics for my GUI. I notice that I want to place my shapes and text right at the corners of my canvas, but they are ending up partially hidden. For text, I see there is an anchor option which the documentation suggests being set to NW if, for example, I want to place the text in the top left corner, but even then I see just a little bit of the beginning of the text being cut off. Here is my code:
import Tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("300x300")
c = tk.Canvas(root, bg="green", width=300, height=300)
c.pack(fill="both", side="right", expand=True)
c.create_text(0,0,text="Hello world!", anchor="nw")
root.mainloop()
I know I can adjust the coordinates of where the text starts and by trial and error figure out which one gives the best looking result, but I was wondering if there was a smarter way to do it.
I notice a similar thing when I try to create shapes, such as a circle:
import Tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("300x300")
c = tk.Canvas(root, bg="green", width=300, height=300)
c.pack(fill="both", side="right",expand=True)
c.create_oval(0,0,300,300, fill="gray")
root.mainloop()
For the circle, the parts of the circle closest to the edges are being cut off. If I stretch and drag the window to be larger, I can see the far right and bottom parts of the circle, so they are being draw. I also don't see an option similar to anchor for the circle.
I am noticing the tiniest amount of white space around my canvas, between the canvas and the window. I set the pack options to fill out against all sides and to expand if extra space was available. I wondering if this is the problem.
