so you're telling us you found a method description on the Tk Canvas
manual page, and it took you a lot of time to realize that it probably
was a method of the Tkinter Canvas class?

you could have looked things up in the Tkinter handbook, of course:

(look under "methods" -- the create methods are described
first on that page)
