You can place any Tkinter widget onto a canvas by using a canvas window object. A window is a rectangular area that can hold one Tkinter widget. The widget must be the child of the same top-level window as the canvas, or the child of some widget located in the same top-level window.
If you want to put complex multi-widget objects on a canvas, you can use this method to place a Frame widget on the canvas, and then place other widgets inside that frame.
To create a new canvas window object on a canvas C
id=C.create_window(x,y,option, ...)
This returns the object ID for the window object. Options include:

tags | If a single string, the window is tagged with that string. Use a tuple of strings to tag the window with multiple tags. See Section 8.4, “Canvas tags”. |
width | The width of the area reserved for the window. If omitted, the window will be sized to fit the width of the contained widget. |
