Changing opacity of a rectangle

How do i change the opacity/transparency of a black rectangle in python tkinter.

canvas.create_rectangle (200, 200, 600, 600, fill="black")

Above is what i used to create the box. I looked at attributes i could use but could not find any. I also played with .setOpacity(0.5) as i saw this being used somewhere else but it did not work.

I have looked at different examples and they either change the opacity for images using the PIL module or change the opacity in different languages which i am unfamiliar with.

I don't think you can change alpha(Transparency) on a canvas. But you can use stipple on it to cover it with a bitmap, so you kinda get the same effect but not exact.

Try this line.

canvas.create_rectangle (200, 200, 600, 600, fill="black",stipple='gray50')
