Chapter 14. The Canvas Bitmap Item
The bitmap item draws a bitmap on the canvas.
item = canvas.create_bitmap(100, 100, bitmap="info", foreground="gold")
You can use either a builtin bitmap, such as "hourglass", "info", "question", or "warning", or load a bitmap from an XBM file.
Figure 14-1. Bitmap Example
For more flexible image support, use create_image instead (with a Tkinter BitmapImage instance, or an instance of the corresponding Python Imaging Library class).
Bitmaps
The following bitmaps are available on all platforms: "error", "gray75", "gray50", "gray25", "gray12", "hourglass", "info", "questhead", "question", and "warning".
The following additional bitmaps are available on the Macintosh only: "document", "stationery", "edition", "application", "accessory", "folder", "pfolder", "trash", "floppy", "ramdisk", "cdrom", "preferences", "querydoc", "stop", "note", and "caution".
You can also load the bitmap from an XBM file. Just prefix the filename with an at-sign, for example "@sample.xbm".
