title: clipping text in python/tkinter
body: <p>I want to draw text on a tkinter canvas, within a previously drawn rectangle. I want to clip the text to be drawn entirely within the rectangle, hopefully by just specifying a maximum allowed width. Is there a straightforward way to do this in tkinter? If not, could I be using something else that would make it easier? Thanks</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: "clipping" in a graphics sense, that is, draw the object (the string) as if it has enough room to be displayed in full, but only draw the portion of the object that is in the specified bounds, like this:
