TKINTER: create_window()

Question

I've got a short question: What does the create_window() function for a Canvas do? Oh, and does this function have something to do with setting a Scrollbar inside a Canvas?

take a look at this: http://infohost.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/tkinter/web/create_window.html — Tadhg McDonald-Jensen, Jan 26 '16 at 19:59
then at this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7727804/python-and-tkinter-using-scrollbars-on-a-canvas and next time try to find the answer without posting a new question first, this took one google search to find — Tadhg McDonald-Jensen, Jan 26 '16 at 20:02

create_window creates an object on the canvas based off of a widget. For example, you could create a button widget, and use create_window to embed that button in the canvas.

This has nothing to do with "setting a Scrollbar inside a Canvas". However, it is often used to make it a scrollable frame. For normal canvases, though, you don't need to use create_window in order to tie a scrollbar to a canvas.
