README
An improved Canvas widget for tkinter with more functionality to display graphical elements like lines or text.

For complete documentation, head over the [the wiki](https://github.com/Luke-zhang-04/CanvasPlus/wiki)
### Example: ###
```python
#Imports
from CanvasPlus import CanvasPLus
from tkinter import Tk, StringVar, DoubleVar
#set up canvas
root = Tk()
canvas = CanvasPlus(root, width=800, height=800, background = "white")
canvas.pack()
#create circle function
canvas.create_circle(300, 600, 100, fill = "black", outline = "green", width = 3)
#create rounded rectangle function
canvas.create_round_rectangle(
400, 550, 500, 650, radius = 75, fill = "blue", outline = "orange", width = 5
)
#create arrow function and rotate it to by 310 degrees clockwise
arrow = canvas.create_arrow(600, 600, 50, 50, 150, 20, fill = "grey", outline = "black")
canvas.rotate(arrow, 600, 600, 310, unit="deg")
#create a rectangle and convert it to a polygon; then rotate it by pi/4 radians (45 degrees)
rect = canvas.create_rectangle(100, 550, 200, 650, fill = "#f7a8c6", width = 0)
canvas.clone(rect)
rect = canvas.poly(rect)
canvas.rotate(rect, 150, 600, math.pi/4)
#create an entry and set it's default value
content = StringVar()
canvas.create_entry(0, 0, anchor = "nw", textvariable = content, fg = "blue", bg = "gold")
content.set("This is CanvasPlus %s" % _canvasPlusVersion)
#create button to print the value in the previously cretaed entry
canvas.create_button(
5, 25, anchor = "nw", text = "button", width = 50, highlightbackground = "red",
command = lambda e = content: print(e.get())
)
#create checkbutton and toggle it
_, checkbutton = canvas.create_checkbutton(
5, 50, anchor = "nw", bg = "brown", fg = "white", text = "My Checkbutton"
)
checkbutton.toggle()
#create a label
canvas.create_label(
5, 75, font = ("Times", "24"), fg = "black", bg = "green", text = "By Luke-zhang-04", anchor = "nw"
)
#flip example
aPrime = canvas.create_polygon(500, 10, 500, 20, 550, 25, 600, 20, 600, 10, fill = "yellow", outline = "black")
a = canvas.clone(aPrime)
canvas.flip(a, m = .5, b = -200)
canvas.update()
canvas.mainloop()
```
