Deleting Items

To remove an item (or more than one item) from the Canvas completely, use the deletemethod. It takes a list of tags or IDs to remove from the Canvas. It will delete all matches it finds for the tag names, so be careful you aren’t deleting something you don’t want to delete. Here is an example that uses three separate tag/IDs:

$canvas->delete("blue", "circle", $id_num);

You can specify only one tag/ID or as many as you want.
