why would you do that? the canvas is redrawn only in an idle hander so
that all the updates and changes you do don't cause any redrawing at
that time. everything is deferred until there are no more events to
handle.

if you want a longer term freeze/thaw, i don't know of anything, but
you could make the canvas widget insensitive.
