    I'm not certain that it's even possible with just Tkinter. AFAIK, Tkinter's text-rendering capabilities don't provide any way to rotate text. – Kevin Mar 23 '20 at 14:04
  • Does this answer your question? [Is there a way to rotate text around (or inside) a circle?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56652414/is-there-a-way-to-rotate-text-around-or-inside-a-circle) – stovfl Mar 23 '20 at 14:27
  • @stovfl I've just quoted that question in my answer. – scotty3785 Mar 23 '20 at 14:30
  • @scotty3785 Yes, but this does not prevent me to vote as duplicate. – stovfl Mar 23 '20 at 14:34

This answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/56653517/2323393 suggests that you can use the angle attribute of the text object to rotate it.

For example

txt = canvas.create_text(250, 250, text='Hi')
canvas.itemconfig(txt, angle=90)

Or a more complete solution

import math
import tkinter as tk

def draw(angle, text):
    x = math.cos(math.radians(angle)) * 50 + 250
    y = math.sin(math.radians(angle)) * 50 + 250
    obj = canvas.create_text(250, 250, text=text, fill="green")
    canvas.itemconfig(obj, angle=-angle)
    canvas.coords(obj, x, y)
    return obj

root = tk.Tk()
canvas = tk.Canvas(root, width=500, height=500)

for i in range(0,360,60):
    draw(i,"Hi")

canvas.pack()
root.mainloop()
