The Canvas'es coords() method is your friend. From the canvas tk manpage:

pathName coords tagOrId ?coordList?
Query or modify the coordinates that define an item. If no coordinates
are specified, this command returns a list whose elements are the
coordinates of the item named by tagOrId. If coordinates are specified,
then they replace the current coordinates for the named item. If tagOrId
refers to multiple items, then the first one in the display list is used.

I hope this helps

Michael
