Here is a little fragment showing popping up a menu from an
image in a label (canvas would be similar)...

...
xxxdata.network = Toplevel(xxxdata.root)
xxxdata.network.title('Network Planning & Engineering')
iimg = PhotoImage(file='%s/%s' % (xxxdata.data.bitmaps,
'network.gif'))
ilabel = Label(xxxdata.network, image=iimg)
ilabel.pack()
ilabel.bind('<Button-3>', doNETWORKMenu)

...
def doNETWORKMenu(event):
pmenu = Menu(event.widget, tearoff=1)
# Build a regular menu, as necessary
...
pmenu.tk_popup(event.x, event.ypos)
...
