How to get the coordinates of an object in a tkinter canvas?

Question

I can\'t seem to figure out how to retrieve the x,y position of an oval created on a Tkinter canvas using Python via

c.create_oval(x0, y0, x1, y2)
<         


        

Answer 1

Assign the results of c.create_oval to x -- that's the "object ID" of the oval. Then,

c.coords(x)

gives you the (x1, y1, x2, y2) tuple of the oval's coordinates (you call coords with new coordinates following the x to move the oval).
