Question

In python, can you draw on the Tkinter Canvas from different functions?

If this is possible, can someone give me a super simple illustration of the syntax structure.

Thanks!

Further explanation of what I’m doing (wondering if this is the correct approach, passing the form to another function:

def function1:
    self.root=Tk()
    self.root.title("Form Title")
    cw = 318 # canvas width
    ch = 453 # canvas height
    form = Canvas(self.root, width=cw, height=ch,background="orange")
    drawShapes(form)
    form.pack()


def drawShapes(form):
    form.create_rectangle()
    form.create_arc()
    form.create_unicorns()

I know two different ways for Drawing on the canvas: Tkinter.Canvas and Canvas

import Tkinter
c = Tkinter.Canvas()
lineId = c.create_line(1,1,2,2)

or

import Tkinter
import Canvas
c = Tkinter.Canvas()
line = Canvas.Line(c, 1,1,2,2)
