+.SH ARGUMENTS

+.AP Tcl_Interp *interp in
+Interpreter to use for error reporting.

+Textual value to be converted.
+.AP Tk_Dash *dashPtr out

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+These procedure parses the string and fills in the result in the
+Tk_Dash structure. The string can be a list of integers or a
+character string containing only \fB[.,-_]\fR or spaces. If all
+goes well, TCL_OK is returned. If \fIstring\fR doesn't have the
+proper syntax then TCL_ERROR is returned, an error message is left
+in the interpreter's result, and nothing is stored at *\fIdashPtr\fR.
+.PP
+The first possible syntax is a list of integers. Each element
+represents the number of pixels of a line segment. Only the odd
+segments are drawn using the "outline" color. The other segments
+are drawn transparent.
+.PP
+The second possible syntax is a character list containing only
+5 possible characters \fB[.,-_ ]\fR. The space can be used
+to enlarge the space between other line elements, and can not
+occur as the first posibion in the string. Some examples:
+ -dash . = -dash {2 4}
+ -dash - = -dash {6 4}
+ -dash -. = -dash {6 4 2 4}
+ -dash -.. = -dash {6 4 2 4 2 4}
+ -dash {. } = -dash {2 8}
+ -dash , = -dash {4 4}
+.PP
+The main difference of this syntax with the previous is that it
+it shape-conserving. This means that all values in the dash
+list will be multiplied by the line width before display. This
+assures that "." will always be displayed as a dot and "-"
+always as a dash regardless of the line width.
+.PP
+On systems where only a limited set of dash patterns, the dash
+pattern will be displayed as the most close dash pattern that
+is available. For example, on Windows only the first 4 of the
+above examples are available. The last 2 examples will be
+displayed identically as the first one.
