+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+These procedures are called by canvas type managers to perform various
+utility functions.
+.PP
+\fBTk_CanvasTkwin\fR returns the Tk_Window associated with a particular
+canvas.
+.PP
+\fBTk_CanvasGetCoord\fR translates a string specification of a
+coordinate (such as \fB2p\fR or \fB1.6c\fR) into a double-precision
+canvas coordinate.
+If \fIstring\fR is a valid coordinate description then \fBTk_CanvasGetCoord\fR
+stores the corresponding canvas coordinate at *\fIdoublePtr\fR
+and returns TCL_OK.
+Otherwise it stores an error message in \fIinterp->result\fR and
+returns TCL_ERROR.
+.PP
+\fBTk_CanvasDrawableCoords\fR is called by type managers during
+redisplay to compute where to draw things.
+Given \fIx\fR and \fIy\fR coordinates in the space of the
+canvas, \fBTk_CanvasDrawableCoords\fR computes the corresponding
+pixel in the drawable that is currently being used for redisplay;
+it returns those coordinates in *\fIdrawableXPtr\fR and *\fIdrawableYPtr\fR.
+This procedure should not be invoked except during redisplay.
+.PP
+\fBTk_CanvasSetStippleOrigin\fR is also used during redisplay.
+It sets the stipple origin in \fIgc\fR so that stipples drawn
+with \fIgc\fR in the current offscreen pixmap will line up
+with stipples drawn with origin (0,0) in the canvas's actual
+window.
+\fBTk_CanvasSetStippleOrigin\fR is needed in order to guarantee
+that stipple patterns line up properly when the canvas is
+redisplayed in small pieces.
+Redisplays are carried out in double-buffered fashion where a
+piece of the canvas is redrawn in an offscreen pixmap and then
+copied back onto the screen.
+In this approach the stipple origins in graphics contexts need to
+be adjusted during each redisplay to compensate for the position
+of the off-screen pixmap relative to the window.
+If an item is being drawn with stipples, its type manager typically
+calls \fBTk_CanvasSetStippleOrigin\fR just before using \fIgc\fR
+to draw something; after it is finished drawing, the type manager
+calls \fBXSetTSOrigin\fR to restore the origin in \fIgc\fR back to (0,0)
+(the restore is needed because graphics contexts are shared, so
+they cannot be modified permanently).
+.PP
+\fBTk_CanvasWindowCoords\fR is similar to \fBTk_CanvasDrawableCoords\fR
+except that it returns coordinates in the canvas's window on the
+screen, instead of coordinates in an off-screen pixmap.
+.PP
+\fBTk_CanvasEventuallyRedraw\fR may be invoked by a type manager
+to inform Tk that a portion of a canvas needs to be redrawn.
+The \fIx1\fR, \fIy1\fR, \fIx2\fR, and \fIy2\fR arguments
+specify the region that needs to be redrawn, in canvas coordinates.
+Type managers rarely need to invoke \fBTk_CanvasEventuallyRedraw\fR,
+since Tk can normally figure out when an item has changed and make
+the redisplay request on its behalf (this happens, for example
+whenever Tk calls a \fIconfigureProc\fR or \fIscaleProc\fR).
+The only time that a type manager needs to call
+\fBTk_CanvasEventuallyRedraw\fR is if an item has changed on its own
+without being invoked through one of the procedures in its Tk_ItemType;
+this could happen, for example, in an image item if the image is
+modified using image commands.
+.PP
+\fBTk_CanvasTagsParseProc\fR and \fBTk_CanvasTagsPrintProc\fR are
+procedures that handle the \fB\-tags\fR option for canvas items.
+The code of a canvas type manager won't call these procedures
+directly, but will use their addresses to create a \fBTk_CustomOption\fR
+structure for the \fB\-tags\fR option. The code typically looks
+like this:
+.CS
+static Tk_CustomOption tagsOption = {Tk_CanvasTagsParseProc,
+ Tk_CanvasTagsPrintProc, (ClientData) NULL
+};
+
+static Tk_ConfigSpec configSpecs[] = {
+ ...
+ {TK_CONFIG_CUSTOM, "\-tags", (char *) NULL, (char *) NULL,
+ (char *) NULL, 0, TK_CONFIG_NULL_OK, &tagsOption},
+ ...
+};
