Re: canvas: change the background of a text item

|   .c create text 100 100 -text "Example text" -font {Helvetica 20} -fill red
|

|    i.e. the same as ".c configure -background yellow", but restricted
|    to the area of the text.

Ok, found a workaround on the WIKI:

  https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/canvas+text
 
  - create a rectangle with the bbox of the text and lower it beneath
    the text.

Somehow the 'rectangle' item was not there when I scanned the canvas
manpage earlier :-/
