highlightthickness | distance | Controls the width of the focus highlight border. Default is one or two pixels. Note that the focus highlight border is drawn on top of the canvas coordinate systems; if you don't use scrollbars, a one pixel border covers items drawn at canvas coordinate (0, 0). |

insertborderwidth | distance | Borderwidth for the insertion cursor. |
insertofftime, insertontime | time | Controls cursor blinking. |
insertwidth | distance | Width of the insertion cursor. |
relief | constant | Border decoration. The default is FLAT. Other possible values are SUNKEN, RAISED, GROOVE, and RIDGE. Note that to show the border, you need to change the borderwidth from it's default value of 0. Also note that the border is drawn on top of the canvas coordinate system. |
scrollregion | 4-tuple | The bounding box of the scrollable area. If this option is not set, the scrolling is not bounded. |
