import tkinter tk # python2 import pil.image, pil.imagetk  win = tk.tk() #create canvas canvas = tk.canvas(win, height = 500, width = 500)  #create rectangle on right of canvas rect = canvas.create_rectangle(250, 0, 500, 250, width = 2, fill = "red")  #create image sprite = pil.image.open("sprite.png") tilepil = sprite.resize((100, 100)) tilepi = pil.imagetk.photoimage(tilepil) tile = canvas.create_image(100, 100, image = tilepi, tags = "a tag")  #place canvas canvas.grid(row = 1, column = 0, rowspan = 5)  #move tile right.  #the tile go on top of red rectangle. how keep rectangle on top of tile? canvas.coords(tile, (300, 100)) canvas.mainloop() 

use tag_raise() method:

canvas.tag_raise(tile)
