Not that I know of, and there's apparently nothing like that in the tcl/tk 
manual pages. The only thing I can think of is to configure the fill and/or 
outline for the items to '', making them invisible. But:
- you have to remember their original fill/outline outside the canvas
- bindings on the items still fire when they are invisible, which may not be 
what you want...
