tkinter canvas create_text size (python3)
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I understand that it is possible to get the size of text on a canvas:
t = canvas.create_text(x, y, text='Hello StackOverflow')
print(canvas.bbox(t))
but I want to decide where to draw the text based on its size, so I need to know the size before the text is drawn. How to do that?

Duplicate question. See these questions and answers: 1, 2, 3.

I disagree. These are not duplicates. In my search these questions did not show up so I worded it differently. Also, this is text on a canvas and not a label, so it could have been different (but turned out it wasn't).

Thanks for the links. Still not duplicates though: the answers may be related but the questions were very different. Indeed it turned out later that the issue is related, but not a priori.
