Hi all,

I am writing an application in Tk using Canvas widget.
I have created some different polygons in it and tagged them using '-
tags' command.

Is there a way to find out what tags are there in a canvas at a
specified location in the canvas say x,y.

Thanks in advance!

Ravikanth.

You can get the IDs for each polygon using [$canvas find overlapping
$x $y $x $y]. Once you have the IDs for each polygon, you can get
their tags using [$canvas itemcget $id -tags].
