To find out the size of a canvas text object in tkinter, you can use the bbox method of the Canvas object. This method returns a tuple containing the coordinates of a rectangular bounding box that encloses the text object.


Here is an example of how to find the size of a canvas text object:

import tkinter as tk

# Create a tkinter root window
root = tk.Tk()

# Create a Canvas widget
canvas = tk.Canvas(root)
canvas.pack()

# Create a text object on the canvas
text_object = canvas.create_text(100, 100, text="Hello, World!", anchor="nw")

# Get the size of the text object
bbox = canvas.bbox(text_object)

# Print the size of the text object
print("Size of the text object:", bbox)

# Run the tkinter main loop
root.mainloop()


In this example, we first create a Canvas widget and a text object on the canvas. We then use the bbox method of the Canvas object to get the size of the text object and print the result.


Please note that the bbox method returns the coordinates (x1, y1, x2, y2) of the bounding box, where (x1, y1) is the upper-left corner and (x2, y2) is the lower-right corner.
