Unfortunately, it is not possible to directly place an image at the center of a tkinter Text widget. The Text widget is designed to display text and does not have built-in support for image placement.

One workaround solution is to use a Canvas widget instead, which allows for more advanced graphics operations including image placement. Here is an example of how to place an image at the center of a Canvas widget:

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()

# create a Canvas widget with a background color of white
canvas = tk.Canvas(root, bg="white")
canvas.pack(fill=tk.BOTH, expand=True)

# load the image
image = tk.PhotoImage(file="image.png")

# get the dimensions of the canvas widget
width = canvas.winfo_width()
height = canvas.winfo_height()

# calculate the center point
center_x = width // 2
center_y = height // 2

# place the image at the center of the canvas
canvas.create_image(center_x, center_y, image=image)

root.mainloop()

This code creates a Canvas widget with a white background, loads an image, and calculates the center point of the canvas. It then uses the create_image method of the Canvas widget to place the image at the center point.
