Setting allowed size of text object on canvas in Tkinter

[Mickel Grönroos]

Hi everybody!

How do I force a text object to be of a required size on a canvas in
Tkinter?

I have a Tkinter.Canvas widget onto which I have drawn a rectangle with
create_rectangle(). Inside this rectangle I want to put a text object, but
also make sure that the text does not overflow the rectangle's borders
(rather, the overflow should be cut off from view). Currently I'm trying
to do this with create_text, but that only accepts coordinates for a point
and not for the bounding box. Any ideas?

Cheers,

/Mickel G.
