How to add text inside a Tkinter Canvas?

Canvas is undoubtedly one of the most versatile widgets in Tkinter. With Canvas, we can create shapes, texts, animate stuff, modeling 3D shapes, modeling simulations, and many more.

In order to add text inside a tkinter frame, we can use the create_text() method. We can define create_text() by adding values of font, text, and other options such as create_text(x,y,font, text, options?.).
