I have a map (.jpg file) that I am displaying on a canvas. I would like to periodically (via Tk::repeat) update with a small icon and text designating the position of something on the map. From the man page it doesn't look like I can make a background from an image. Any suggestions as how I might get the desired behavior would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Why not create an image item normally and create a text item on top of that?


I didn't try to create a text item, but I did attempt to load another image. That erased the original. I'm looking at the copy method to see if it might let me place a smaller image on top of the bigger one. I figured once I got the icon placed, I'd worry about the text later. One thing at a time. :)

Thanks,
Jim.
