Introduction +--------------- + +This directory and its descendants contain the sources and documentation +for Tk, an X11 toolkit implemented with the Tcl scripting language. The +information here corresponds to Tk 8.0p2, which is the second patch update +for Tk 8.0. This release is designed to work with Tcl 8.0p2 and may not +work with any other version of Tcl. + +Tk 8.0 is a major release with significant new features such as native +look and feel on Macintoshes and PCs, a new font mechanism, application +embedding, and proper support for Safe-Tcl. See below for details. +There should be no backward incompatibilities in Tk 8.0 that affect +scripts. This patch release fixes various bugs in Tk 8.0; there are no +feature changes relative to Tk 8.0. + +Note: with Tk 8.0 the Tk version number skipped from 4.2 to 8.0. The +jump was made in order to synchronize the Tcl and Tk version numbers. + +2. Documentation +---------------- + +The best way to get started with Tk is to read one of the introductory +books on Tcl and Tk: + + Practical Programming in Tcl and Tk, 2nd Edition, by Brent Welch, + Prentice-Hall, 1997, ISBN 0-13-616830-2 + + Tcl and the Tk Toolkit, by John Ousterhout, + Addison-Wesley, 1994, ISBN 0-201-63337-X + + Exploring Expect, by Don Libes, + O'Reilly and Associates, 1995, ISBN 1-56592-090-2 + +The "doc" subdirectory in this release contains a complete set of +reference manual entries for Tk. Files with extension ".1" are for +programs such as wish; files with extension ".3" are for C library +procedures; and files with extension ".n" describe Tcl commands. To +print any of the manual entries, cd to the "doc" directory and invoke +your favorite variant of troff using the normal -man macros, for example + + ditroff -man wish.1 + +to print wish.1. If Tk has been installed correctly and your "man" +program supports it, you should be able to access the Tcl manual entries +using the normal "man" mechanisms, such as + + man wish + +If you are porting Tk 3.6 scripts to Tk 4.0 or later releases, you may +find the Postscript file doc/tk4.0.ps useful. It is a porting guide +that summarizes the new features and discusses how to deal with the +changes in Tk 4.0 that are not backwards compatible. + +There is also an official home for Tcl and Tk on the Web: + http://www.smli.com/research/tcl +These Web pages include release updates, reports on bug fixes and porting +issues, HTML versions of the manual pages, and pointers to many other +Tcl/Tk Web pages at other sites. Check them out! + +3. Compiling and installing Tk +------------------------------ + +This release contains everything you should need to compile and run +Tk under UNIX, Macintoshes, and PCs (either Windows NT, Windows 95, +or Win 3.1 with Win32s). + +Before trying to compile Tk you should do the following things: + + (a) Check for a binary release. Pre-compiled binary releases are + available now for PCs and Macintoshes, and several flavors of + UNIX. Binary releases are much easier to install than source + releases. To find out whether a binary release is available for + your platform, check the home page for the Sun Tcl/Tk project + (http://www.sunlabs.com/research/tcl) and also check in the FTP + directory from which you retrieved the base distribution. + + (b) Make sure you have the most recent patch release. Look in the + FTP directory from which you retrieved this distribution to see + if it has been updated with patches. Patch releases fix bugs + without changing any features, so you should normally use the + latest patch release for the version of Tk that you want. + Patch releases are available in two forms. A file like + tk8.0p1.tar.Z is a complete release for patch level 1 of Tk + version 8.0. If there is a file with a higher patch level than + this release, just fetch the file with the highest patch level + and use it. + + Patches are also available in the form of patch files that just + contain the changes from one patch level to another. These + files have names like tk8.0p1.patch, tk8.0p2.patch, etc. They + may also have .gz or .Z extensions to indicate compression. To + use one of these files, you apply it to an existing release with + the "patch" program. Patches must be applied in order: + tk8.0p1.patch must be applied to an unpatched Tk 8.0 release + to produce a Tk 8.0p1 release; tk8.0p2.patch can then be + applied to Tk 8.0p1 to produce Tk 8.0p2, and so on. To apply an + uncompressed patch file such as tk8.0p1.patch, invoke a shell + command like the following from the directory containing this + file: + patch -p < tk8.0p1.patch + If the patch file has a .gz extension, it was compressed with + gzip. To apply it, invoke a command like the following: + gunzip -c tk8.0p1.patch.gz | patch -p + If the patch file has a .Z extension, it was compressed with + compress. To apply it, invoke a command like the following: + zcat tk8.0p1.patch.Z | patch -p + If you're applying a patch to a release that has already been + compiled, then before applying the patch you should cd to the + "unix" subdirectory and type "make distclean" to restore the + directory to a pristine state. + +Once you've done this, change to the "unix" subdirectory if you're +compiling under UNIX, "win" if you're compiling under Windows, or +"mac" if you're compiling on a Macintosh. Then follow the instructions +in the README file in that directory for compiling Tk, installing it, +and running the test suite. + +4. Getting started +------------------ + +The best way to get started with Tk is by reading one of the introductory +books. + +The subdirectory library/demos contains a number of pre-canned scripts +that demonstrate various features of Tk. See the README file in the +directory for a description of what's available. The file +library/demos/widget is a script that you can use to invoke many individual +demonstrations of Tk's facilities, see the code that produced the demos, +and modify the code to try out alternatives. + +5. Summary of changes in Tk 8.0 +------------------------------- + +Here is a list of the most important new features in Tk 8.0. The +release also includes several smaller feature changes and bug fixes. +See the "changes" file for a complete list of all changes. + + 1. Native look and feel. The widgets have been rewritten to provide + (nearly?) native look and feel on the Macintosh and PC. Many + widgets, including scrollbars, menus, and the button family, are + implemented with native platform widgets. Others, such as entries + and texts, have been modified to emulate native look and feel. + These changes are backwards compatible except that (a) some + configuration options are now ignored on some platforms and (b) you + must use the new menu mechanism described below to native look and + feel for menus. + + 2. There is a new interface for creating menus, where a menubar is + implemented as a menu widget instead of a frame containing menubuttons. + The -menu option for a toplevel is used to specify the name of the + menubar; the menu will be displayed *outside* the toplevel using + different mechanisms on each platform (e.g. on the Macintosh the menu + will appear at the top of the screen). See the menu demos in the + widget demo for examples. The old style of menu still works, but + does not provide native look and feel. Menus have several new + features: + - New "-columnbreak" and "-hideMargin" options make it possible + to create multi-column menus. + - It is now possible to manipulate the Apple and Help menus on + the Macintosh, and the system menu on Windows. It is also + possible to have a right justified Help menu on Unix. + - Menus now issue the virtual event <> whenever the + current item changes. Applications can use this to generate + help messages. + - There is a new "-direction" option for menubuttons, which + controls where the menu pops up revenues to the button. + + 3. The font mechanism in Tk has been completely reworked: + - Font names need not be nasty X LFDs: more intuitive names + like {Times 12 Bold} can also be used. See the manual entry + font.n for details. + - Font requests always succeed now. If the requested font is + not available, Tk finds the closest available font and uses + that one. + - Tk now supports named fonts whose precise attributes can be + changed dynamically. If a named font is changed, any widget + using that font updates itself to reflect the change. + - There is a new command "font" for creating named fonts and + querying various information about fonts. + - There are now officially supported C APIs for measuring and + displaying text. If you use these APIs now, your code will + automatically handle international text when internationalization + is added to Tk in a future release. See the manual entries + MeasureChar.3, TextLayout.3, and FontId.3. + - The old C procedures Tk_GetFontStruct, Tk_NameOfFontStruct, + and Tk_FreeFontStruct have been replaced with more portable + procedures Tk_GetFont, Tk_NameOfFont, and Tk_FreeFont. + + 4. Application embedding. It is now possible to embedded one Tcl/Tk + application inside another, using the -container option on frame + widgets and the -use option for toplevel widgets or on the command + line for wish. Embedding should be fully functional under Unix, + but the implementation is incomplete on the Macintosh and PC. + + 5. Tk now works correctly with Safe-Tcl: it can be loaded into + safe interpreters using safe::loadTk. + + 6. Text widgets now allow images to be embedded directly in the + text without using embedded windows. This is more efficient and + provides smoother scrolling. + + 7. Buttons have a new -default option for drawing default rings in + a platform-specific manner. + + 8. There is a new "gray75" bitmap, and the "gray25" bitmap is now + really 25% on (due to an ancient mistake, it had been only 12% on). + The Macintosh now supports native bitmaps, including new builtin + bitmaps "stop", "caution", and "note", plus the ability to use + bitmaps in the application's resource fork. + + 9. The "destroy" command now ignores windows that don't exist + instead of generating an error. + +Tk 8.0 introduces the following incompatibilities that may affect Tcl/Tk +scripts that worked under Tk 4.2 and earlier releases: + + 1. Font specifications such as "Times 12" now interpret the size + as points, whereas it used to be pixels (this was actually a bug, + since the behavior was documented as points). To get pixels now, + use a negative size such as "Times -12". + + 2. The -transient option for menus is no longer supported. You can + achieve the same effect with the -type field. + + 3. In the canvas "coords" command, polygons now return only the + points that were explicitly specified when the polygon was created + (they used to return an extra point if the polygon wasn't originally + closed). Internally, polygons are still closed automatically for + purposes of display and hit detection; the extra point just isn't + returned by the "coords" command. + + 4. The photo image mechanism now uses Tcl_Channels instead of FILEs, + in order to make it portable. FILEs are no longer used anywhere + in Tk. The procedure Tk_FindPhoto now requires an extra "interp" + argument in order to fix a bug where images in different interpreters + with the same name could get confused. + + 5. The procedures Tk_GetFontStruct, Tk_NameOfFontStruct, + and Tk_FreeFontStruct have been removed. + +Note: the new compiler in Tcl 8.0 may also affect Tcl/Tk scripts; check +the Tcl documentation for information on incompatibilities introduced by +Tcl 8.0. + +6. Tcl/Tk newsgroup +------------------- + +There is a network news group "comp.lang.tcl" intended for the exchange +of information about Tcl, Tk, and related applications. Feel free to use +this newsgroup both for general information questions and for bug reports. +We read the newsgroup and will attempt to fix bugs and problems reported +to it. + +When using comp.lang.tcl, please be sure that your e-mail return address +is correctly set in your postings. This allows people to respond directly +to you, rather than the entire newsgroup, for answers that are not of +general interest. A bad e-mail return address may prevent you from +getting answers to your questions. You may have to reconfigure your news +reading software to ensure that it is supplying valid e-mail addresses. + +7. Mailing lists +---------------- + +A couple of Mailing List have been set up to discuss Macintosh or +Windows related Tcl issues. In order to use these Mailing Lists you +must have access to the internet. If you have access to the WWW the +home pages for these mailing lists are located at the following URLs: + + http://www.sunlabs.com/research/tcl/lists/mactcl-list.html + + -and- + + http://www.sunlabs.com/research/tcl/lists/wintcl-list.html + +The home pages contain information about the lists and an HTML archive +of all the past messages on the list. To subscribe send a message to: + + listserv@sunlabs.sun.com + +In the body of the message (the subject will be ignored) put: + + subscribe mactcl Joe Blow + +Replacing Joe Blow with your real name, of course. (Use wintcl +instead of mactcl if your interested in the Windows list.) If you +would just like to receive more information about the list without +subscribing but the line: + + information mactcl + +in the body instead (or wintcl). + +8. Tcl/Tk contributed archive +-------------------------- + +Many people have created exciting packages and applications based on Tcl +and/or Tk and made them freely available to the Tcl community. An archive +of these contributions is kept on the machine ftp.neosoft.com. You +can access the archive using anonymous FTP; the Tcl contributed archive is +in the directory "/pub/tcl". The archive also contains several FAQ +("frequently asked questions") documents that provide solutions to problems +that are commonly encountered by TCL newcomers. + +9. Support and bug fixes +------------------------ + +We're very interested in receiving bug reports and suggestions for +improvements. We prefer that you send this information to the +comp.lang.tcl newsgroup rather than to any of us at Sun. We'll see +anything on comp.lang.tcl, and in addition someone else who reads +comp.lang.tcl may be able to offer a solution. The normal turn-around +time for bugs is 3-6 weeks. Enhancements may take longer and may not +happen at all unless there is widespread support for them (we're +trying to slow the rate at which Tk turns into a kitchen sink). It's +very difficult to make incompatible changes to Tcl at this point, due +to the size of the installed base. + +When reporting bugs, please provide a short wish script that we can +use to reproduce the bug. Make sure that the script runs with a +bare-bones wish and doesn't depend on any extensions or other +programs, particularly those that exist only at your site. Also, +please include three additional pieces of information with the +script: + (a) how do we use the script to make the problem happen (e.g. + what things do we click on, in what order)? + (b) what happens when you do these things (presumably this is + undesirable)? + (c) what did you expect to happen instead? + +The Tcl/Tk community is too large for us to provide much individual +support for users. If you need help we suggest that you post questions +to comp.lang.tcl. We read the newsgroup and will attempt to answer +esoteric questions for which no-one else is likely to know the answer. +In addition, Tcl/Tk support and training are available commercially from +NeoSoft (info@neosoft.com), Computerized Processes Unlimited +(gwl@cpu.com), and Data Kinetics (education@dkl.com). + +10. Release organization +------------------------ + +Each Tk release is identified by two numbers separated by a dot, e.g. +3.2 or 3.3. If a new release contains changes that are likely to break +existing C code or Tcl scripts then the major release number increments +and the minor number resets to zero: 3.0, 4.0, etc. If a new release +contains only bug fixes and compatible changes, then the minor number +increments without changing the major number, e.g. 3.1, 3.2, etc. If +you have C code or Tcl scripts that work with release X.Y, then they +should also work with any release X.Z as long as Z > Y. + +Alpha and beta releases have an additional suffix of the form a2 or b1. +For example, Tk 3.3b1 is the first beta release of Tk version 3.3, +Tk 3.3b2 is the second beta release, and so on. A beta release is an +initial version of a new release, used to fix bugs and bad features +before declaring the release stable. An alpha release is like a beta +release, except it's likely to need even more work before it's "ready +for prime time". New releases are normally preceded by one or more +alpha and beta releases. We hope that lots of people will try out +the alpha and beta releases and report problems. We'll make new alpha/ +beta releases to fix the problems, until eventually there is a beta +release that appears to be stable. Once this occurs we'll make the +final release. + +We can't promise to maintain compatibility among alpha and beta releases. +For example, release 4.1b2 may not be backward compatible with 4.1b1, even +though the final 4.1 release will be backward compatible with 4.0. This +allows us to change new features as we find problems during beta testing. +We'll try to minimize incompatibilities between beta releases, but if a +major problem turns up then we'll fix it even if it introduces an +incompatibility. Once the official release is made then there won't +be any more incompatibilities until the next release with a new major +version number. + +Patch releases have a suffix such as p1 or p2. These releases contain +bug fixes only. A patch release (e.g Tk 4.1p2) should be completely +compatible with the base release from which it is derived (e.g. Tk +4.1), and you should normally use the highest available patch release. diff --git a/bitmaps/error.bmp b/bitmaps/error.bmp new file mode 100644 index 0000000..5a1331f --- /dev/null +++ b/bitmaps/error.bmp @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +#define error_width 17 +#define error_height 17 +static unsigned char error_bits[] = { + 0xf0, 0x0f, 0x00, 0x58, 0x15, 0x00, 0xac, 0x2a, 0x00, 0x16, 0x50, 0x00, + 0x2b, 0xa0, 0x00, 0x55, 0x40, 0x01, 0xa3, 0xc0, 0x00, 0x45, 0x41, 0x01, + 0x83, 0xc2, 0x00, 0x05, 0x45, 0x01, 0x03, 0xca, 0x00, 0x05, 0x74, 0x01, + 0x0a, 0xa8, 0x00, 0x14, 0x58, 0x00, 0xe8, 0x2f, 0x00, 0x50, 0x15, 0x00, + 0xa0, 0x0a, 0x00};

Could +cause new entries to get created unnecessarily. + +12/2/91 (bug fix) Changed "bind" code to put backslashes in front of +special characters (e.g. [ or \) that appear in %-replacements, so that +they can be parsed cleanly. + +12/10/91 (bug fix) Manual entries had first lines that caused "man" program +to try weird preprocessor. Added blank comment lines to fix problem. + +1/2/92 (documentation cleanup) Changed manual entries for Tk_GetBitmap +and the like to make it more clear that the argument must be a Tk_Uid +and not a string. + +1/2/92 (bug fix) Fixed problem where scrollbars that were very short or +very narrow (too small to hold both arrows) could cause negative values +in calls to XClearArea, which crashed some servers. + +1/2/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in TkMeasureChars occurring when maxChars +is 0. Occasionally affected things like message window geometry. + +1/3/92 (new feature) Added procedures Tk_GetJustify, Tk_GetAnchor, +Tk_GetCapStyle, and Tk_GetJoinStyle, plus support for these things +in Tk_ConfigureWidget. + +---------------------- Release 1.4, 1/10/92 ------------------------- + +1/12/92 (bug fix) TkMenubutton.c wasn't cleaning up mbPtr->varName +properly during menubutton cleanup if an error occurred during +menubutton creation. + +1/19/92 (bug fix) Fixed off-by-one bug in tkListbox.c that caused +scrollbars to display a slider that was too large. + +2/10/92 (bug fix) Tk_CreateFileHandler didn't correctly handle case +where new mask was specified for existing handler. + +2/13/92 (bug fix) Tk_DeleteAllBindings wasn't correctly removing +bindings from the pattern table: only did the removal for the +first pattern in a pattern list. + +2/15/92 (new feature) Added procedures Tk_DefineBitmap and +Tk_SizeOfBitmap. Tk_GetBitmapFromData is now considered obsolete +and probably shouldn't be used anymore. Tk_GetBitmapFromData +is now implemented by calling Tk_DefineBitmap and Tk_GetBitmap. + +2/15/92 (new feature) Added "curselection" and "select clear" options +to widget command for listboxes. + +2/15/92 (new feature) Added Tk_3DBorderColor procedure. + +2/17/92 (relaxed limitations) Changed scrollbars so they no longer limit +the slider position to lie within the object's range: can scroll off the +end of an object, if the object permits it. Changed listboxes and +entries to explicitly prevent viewing off the ends. Also relaxed +listbox index checks so that out-of-range indices are automatically +adjust to fit within the listbox range. + +2/19/92 (bug fix) tkWindow.c tended to leave half-created windows around +if a new window's name was found to be in use already. Fixed to clean +them up. + +2/22/92 (new feature) Added -anchor, -bitmap, -height, -textvariable, +-width options to labels, buttons, check buttons, menu buttons, and radio +buttons. This means that (a) size can be controlled better, (b) bitmaps +can be displayed in any buttons, (c) the position of the text within the +button can be controlled, and (d) a button can be made to display the value +of a variable, continuously updating itself. Also changed -selector option +so that if it's specified as an empty string then no selector is drawn +for the button. + +2/22/92 (new feature) Changed menus to support bitmaps in menu entries: +added new -bitmap option for entries. + +2/26/92 (bug fix) "after" command, when invoked with just one argument, +called Tk_Sleep rather than registering a timer handler and looping on +Tk_DoOneEvent. As a result, it caused the application to become non- +responsive to X events during the sleep. Changed to use a Tk_DoOneEvent +loop so that it is responsive. + +2/26/92 (bug fix) Tk's main program didn't map the main window until +after the startup script returned. Changed to map the window as a +do-when-idle handler, so that scripts can cause the window to be +mapped immediately with a call to "update" or "after". + +2/28/92 (bug fix) "wm withdraw" wasn't working if invoked before window +was originally mapped: window got mapped anyway. Fixed so that the +window doesn't get mapped as long as it's withdrawn. + +2/29/92 (new feature) Can use "focus none" to clear input focus. + +2/29/92 (bug fix) Fixed tkEvent.c to generate SubstructureNotify events +properly. These weren't being generated previously. + +2/29/92 (bug fix) Fixed entries so that newline characters can be properly +displayed (as `\x0a'). Had to change interface to TkDisplayChars in order +to do this (added flags argument). + +2/29/92 (bug fix) Change Tk not to update size and position of top-level +windows directly during calls like Tk_ResizeWindow. Instead, wait until +actual event is received. This makes updates happen at same time as +callbacks. + +3/6/92 (bug fix) TkMenubutton.c was dumping core when a menubutton was +pressed at a time when there was no associated menu for the button. + +3/6/92 (new feature) Added Tk script library directory with official +Tk initialization file "tk.tcl". Other procedures used by Tk are in +other files. Tk procedures and variables all have names starting +with "tk_". Also added Wish startup script "wish.tcl", which sources +both the Tk and Tcl startup scripts. This means that things like +auto-loading and abbreviation expansion are now available in wish. +Added new variables tk_library, tk_priv, and tk_version. + +3/6/92 (new feature) It's now possible to set bindings for whole +classes by using the class name in the bind command. For example, +"bind Button {puts stdout Hi!}" will cause a message to be +printed whenever any mouse button is entered. Can also use "all" +to set bindings for all widgets. Widget-specific bindings override +class bindings which override "all" bindings. + +3/6/92 (reorganization) Changed buttons (all flavors) and listboxes to +eliminate all hard-wired behavior. Instead, default behavior is set +by class bindings in tk.tcl. Also set up class bindings for menus, +menubuttons, and entries, which previously had no default behavior at +all. Scrollbars and scales still have hard-wired behavior that can't +be overridden. + +3/7/92 (look-and-feel change) Changed listboxes and entries and menus +to use button 2 for scanning instead of button 3. This is more consistent +with the official Motif use of button 2 for dragging. + +3/10/92 (new features) Added more options to "winfo" command: screencells, +screendepth, screenmmheight, screenmmwidth, and screenvisual. + +3/13/92 (bug fix) Event sharing mechanism (tkShare.c) wasn't checking +to see whether window was mapped before sharing events with it. + +3/16/92 (bug fix) Tk_SetInternalBorderWidth was passing wrong window to +geometry-management procedures, causing core-dumps when menu buttons +had their border widths changed. + +3/16/92 (bug fix) Menus were setting their geometry directory rather +than using Tk_GeometryRequest mechanism. + +3/17/92 (new feature) Added -cursor option to all widgets to set the +active cursor for the widget. Also added TK_CONFIG_ACTIVE_CURSOR +configure type. + +3/18/92 (new feature) Implemented generalized screen coordinates to +allow resolution-independent specification in many cases (but pixel- +based coordinates are still OK). Added Tk_GetScreenMM(), +Tk_GetPixels(), new configure types TK_CONFIG_SCREEN_MM and +TK_CONFIG_PIXELS. Changed widgets to use this new configure types +wherever possible (a few of the more complex cases still haven't +been taken care of yet). Added "pixels" and "fpixels" options to +"winfo" command. + +3/18/92 (new feature) First cut at canvas widgets is done and part of +the official Tk now. Canvases display text and structured graphics, +and allow you to bind commands to events related to the text and +graphics. + +3/21/92 (new feature) Added new "place" command. It implements a +new geometry manager that provides fixed placement, rubber-sheet +placement, and combinations of the two. Eliminated the commands +"move", "resize", and "map" that were provided by main.c but never +officially supported; the placer provides all of this functionality. + +3/23/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkWm.c where top-level windows were +occasionally not being given the right size. The problem occurred +when a string of resizes happened all in a row (such as deleting all +the windows in an application and then recreating them). + +3/23/92 (new feature) Added Tk_CoordsToWindow procedure and +"winfo containing" command. These may be used to locate the window +containing a given point. + +3/28/92 (new feature) Added "-exportselection" option to listboxes, +so that listbox selection need not necessarily be the X selection. + +4/12/92 (bug fix) Changed menu buttons to store name of menubutton +in the associated variable, rather than the name of the menu. This +is necessary in order to allow several menu buttons to share the +same menu. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +4/12/92 (bug fix) Fixed core dump that occurred in tkError.c when +removing the first error record from the error list. + +4/15/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkBind.c that prevented +event specifications from being processed correctly: the "1" was +treated as a button name rather than a keysym. + +4/18/92 (new feature) Added Tk_DefineCursor and Tk_UndefineCursor +procedures. + +4/18/92 (new feature) Major revision to listboxes. Can now scroll and +scan in both x and y, plus -exportselection option allows selection not +to be exported. The "view" widget command has been replaced by "xview" +and "yview", and the "scan" widget command has a new syntax. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +4/18/92 (new feature) Added -exportselection option to entries, so you +can select whether you want the entry selection to be the X selection +or not. + +4/24/92 (new features) Added TK_CONFIG_CUSTOM type to Tk_ConfigureWidget, +plus added new flags TK_CONFIG_NULL_OK, TK_CONFIG_DONT_SET_DEFAULT, +and TK_CONFIG_OPTION_SPECIFIED. Several other new types, such as +TK_CONFIG_CAP_STYLE, were also added as part of implementing canvases. + +4/29/92 (bug fix) Changed "-selector" default for menus to have separate +values for mono and color. + +4/30/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkListbox.c where it occasionally generated +bogus scroll commands (last index less than first). + +4/30/92 (reorganization) Moved demos directory to "library/demos". + +---------------------- Release 2.0, 5/1/92 ------------------------- + +5/2/92 (bug fix) Fixed problem in tkListbox.c where it was doing too many +redisplays after repeated insertions. Also reduced number of invocations +of scrollbar commands. + +5/7/92 (portability improvement) Changed main.c not to use TK_EXCEPTION +flag; it isn't needed and it causes problems on some systems. + +5/9/92 (bug fix) Plugged core leaks in tkListbox.c and tkBind.c + +5/9/92 (bug fix) TkBind.c was accidentally deleting bindings during +attempts to print non-existent bindings. + +5/11/92 (bug fix) Maximum name length for applications (name used in +"send" commands) was too short (only 20); increased to 1000. Also +fixed bug related to over-long names that caused core dumps. + +5/13/92 (bug fix) tkShare.c was using a dangling pointer if a share +group was deleted as a side-effect of a shared event. + +5/13/92 (bug fix) Various initialization and core leak problems in +tkGC.c, tkSend.c, tkMenu.c, tkEvent.c, tkCanvas.c, tkCanvPoly.c, +tkCanvLine.c, tkListbox.c, tkEntry.c. + +5/13/92 (bug fix) Empty entries could be scanned off the left edge, +displaying a garbage character. + +5/13/92 (bug fix) Fixed a few problems with window manager interactions, +such as tendency for windows to spontaneously shrink in size. By no +means are all of the problems fixed, though. + +5/13/92 (performance optimization) Changed Tk_GeometryRequest not to +invoke geometry manager unless requested size has changed. + +---------------------- Release 2.1, 5/14/92 ------------------------- + +5/1/92 (new features) Added flags like TK_IDLE_EVENTS to Tk_DoWhenIdle, +plus added "idletasks" option to "update" command. Tk_DoWhenIdle arguments +look different now, but the change should be upward-compatible. + +5/17/92 (new feature/bug fix) Added support for VisibilityNotify events +to the "bind" command. For some reason they weren't supported previously. + +5/17/92 (new feature) Added "tkwait" command. + +5/17/92 (new feature) Added "grab" command. + +5/17/92 (new feature) Added "-width" option to messages. Also changed +messages to use the computed (i.e. desired) line length when displaying, +not the actual width of the window. + +5/17/92 (bug fixes) Did some more fiddling with tkWm.c in the hopes +of improving window manager interactions. Now there won't be more than +one configure request outstanding to the wm at a time. + +5/17/92 (bug fix) Arrowheads on canvas lines weren't being translated +or scaled correctly. + +5/20/92 (bug fix) Page-mode scrolling didn't work correctly for canvases +(wrong windowUnits was passed to scrollbars). + +5/20/92 (bug fix) Changed scrollbars not to lose highlight when pointer +leaves window with button down. Also changed redisplay to double-buffer +for smoother redraws. + +5/21/92 (new feature) Added "gray50" and "gray25" as predefined bitmaps. + +5/22/92 (new feature) Buttons can now be disabled using the "-state" and +"-disabledforeground configuration options. The "activate" and "deactivate" +widget commands for buttons are now obsolete and will go away soon. +Please change Tcl scripts not to use them. + +5/23/92 (new feature) Entries can now be disabled using the "-state" +config option. Also improved class bindings for entries to keep the +cursor visible in the window when operations occur. Also made slight +improvements in the way redisplay is done. + +5/23/92 (new feature) Added "-textvariable" option to entries so that +the text in an entry can be tied to the value of a global variable in +a fashion similar to buttons. + +5/27/92 (new feature) Added "-textvariable" and "-anchor" options to +messages. + +5/28/92 (new feature) Added "-padx" and "-pady" and "-underline" options +to menubuttons. + +5/28/92 (feature change) Changed "-width" and "-height" options on +all flavors of buttons and menubuttons so that they are orthogonal +to "-padx" and "-pady". It used to be that -width overrode -padx +(no padding). Now they accumulate. + +5/29/92 (new feature) Added "-disabledforeground" option to menus and +all flavors of buttons (can specify color for disabled things rather +than just using stipple to gray out). + +5/29/92 (new features) Added many new options to menu entries: +-activebackground, -background, -font, -state, -underline. The +"disable" and "enable" widget commands for menus are now obsolete +and will go away soon. Please change Tcl scripts not to use them. + +5/29/92 (new features) Added "atom" and "atomname" options to "winfo" +command. + +5/29/92 (new feature) Wrote tk_listboxSingleSelect procedure, which +can be used to change listbox behavior so that only a single item is +selected at once. + +6/1/92 (new feature) Added new modifier names "Meta" and "Alt" for +"bind" command. + +6/3/92 (new feature) Added "winfo toplevel" command. + +6/3/92 (new feature) Made several changes for greater Motif compliance, +including: + - menu retention if you click and release in the menu button, + - keyboard traversal of menus (see traversal.man) + - no widget flashing if you set $tk_strictMotif to 1 + +6/15/92 (bug fix) Fixed problem in tkBind.c where command string for a +binding could get reallocated while the command was being executed (e.g. +bindings that delete or change themselves). + +6/15/92 (bug fix) Don't allow "tabWidth" field to become zero in tkFont.c: +can cause core dumps for fonts that don't enough information to compute +tab widths. + +6/19/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in binding mechanism that caused structure- +related events to be reported both to the correct window and its parent. + +7/14/92 (bug fix) Changed tkColor.c not to free colors for visual types +StaticGray or StaticColor. + +7/15/92 (new feature) Text widgets now exist. They display any number of +lines of text with a variety of display formats, and include hypertext +facilities. See the manual page for details. + +7/20/92 (bug fix) If a top-level window was put in the iconic state to +begin with, it could be deiconified with "wm deiconify .foo" until it had +first been deiconified by hand from the window manager. Tk was getting +confused and thought the window was mapped when it wasn't. + +7/29/92 (bug fix) Don't permit rectangles or ovals to have zero-sized +dimensions. Round up to at least one pixel. + +7/29/92 (new features) Major upgrade to canvases: + - new item types: arc, window, bitmap + - added Bezier spline support for lines and polygons + - rectangles and ovals now center their outlines on the shape, + rather than drawing them entirely inside the shape + - new "coords" and "bbox" widget commands + - new "-tags" option for all item types. + - new "-confine" option to prevent scrolling off edge of canvas. + +8/6/92 (new feature) Added "-width" and "-height" options to frames. +The "-geometry" option is now obsolete and should be removed from Tcl +scripts: it may go away in the future. + +8/7/92 (bug fix) Error messages in Tk_ParseArgv were sometimes including +the option name where they should have included its value. + +---------------------- Release 2.2, 8/7/92 ------------------------- + +8/7/92 (bug fix) Changed tkCanvas.c to be more conservative in the area +it passes to XCopyArea. + +8/8/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkTextDisp.c that sometimes caused core +dumps when text views changed (e.g. typing return on last line of screen). + +8/8/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in menu.tcl that caused errors when using +keyboard to traverse over separator menu entries. + +8/10/92 (bug fix) Changed to use OPEN_MAX instead of MAX_FD to compute +maximum # of open files. + +8/10/92 (bug fix) Canvases weren't updating scrollbars on window size +changes. They also weren't recentering canvases on window size changes. + +8/10/92 (bug fix) There were still a few places where commands were being +invoked at local level instead of global level (e.g. commands associated +with buttons and menu entries). + +8/10/92 (bug fix) TkBind.c used to ignore explicit shift modifiers for +all keys (i.e. was treated the same as ). Modified to +allow explicit request for shift modifier, like . + +8/13/92 (feature change) Changed default fonts to request "Adobe" fonts +explicitly. + +8/16/92 (bug fixes) Modified tkCanvArc.c and tkTrig.c to increase slightly +the bounding boxes for arcs, in order to make sure that proper redisplay +occurs when arcs are moved (little turds were getting left behind). + +8/16/92 (bug fix) Modified tkCanvas.c not to redraw at all if the redisplay +area is off the screen. Also, only do a background clear for the portion +of the redraw area that is on-screen. Also, reduced size of off-screen +pixmaps used for redisplaying, which speeds up redisplay in some cases. + +8/19/92 (bug fix) Canvases that were taller than wide were not being +redisplayed properly. + +8/20/92 (new feature) Added Tk_CreateGenericHandler procedure for trapping +all X events (useful for tracing, watching non-Tk windows, etc.). + +8/21/92 (bug fix) Widgets weren't always being notified when they got +the focus back again (the problem had to do with grabs and menus in +particular). + +8/21/92 (new feature) Added "-state" option to scale widgets. + +8/22/92 (new feature) Changed tkBitmap.c to allow tilde-substitution +to occur in bitmap file names. + +---------------------- Release 2.3, 8/24/92 ------------------------- + +8/27/92 (bug fix) Changes to -activebackground and -activeforeground options +for menubuttons were being lost. + +8/27/92 (bug fix) Entries were selecting last character when a B1-drag +occurred past the right edge of the text. + +8/28/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in canvases where a grab during a button +press caused the canvas state to lock up so that it didn't select a +new current item. + +9/7/92 (bug fix) Changed tkMenu.c to accept numerical menu indices that +are out of range; now it just rounds them off to the nearest existing +entry. + +9/7/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkTextDisp.c that caused core dumps when +invoking "yview -pickplace" widget command on texts that are too small +to hold any lines at all. + +9/11/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkTextDisp.c that caused core dumps +when adding tags to non-existent lines. + +9/11/92 (bug fix) Line items in canvases didn't permit an empty fill +color (i.e. couldn't make them transparent). + +9/14/92 (reorganization) Changed manual entries to use .1, .3, and .n +extensions. Added "install" target to Makefile to suggest how Tk should +be installed. + +9/16/92 (bug fix) Changed tkSend.c to always specify the root window of +screen 0 rather than using DefaultRootWindow. DefaultRootWindow doesn't +always go to screen 0 on displays with multiple screens, which can result +in send's not being possible between the screens. + +9/18/92 (new feature) Added three new options to "wm" command: "protocol", +"client", and "command". These provide support for window manager protocols +such as WM_DELETE_WINDOW and WM_TAKE_FOCUS, plus support for the +WM_CLIENT_MACHINE and WM_COMMAND properties. + +9/30/92 (new feature) Implemented color model support, including +"tk colormodel" command and Tk_GetColorModel and Tk_SetColorModel +procedures. These allow you to force mono operation even on a color +display. Also changed color allocation not to give errors when colors +run out, but just to switch to a mono color model. + +10/1/92 (bug fixes) Fixed two bugs in tkTextBTree.c that caused core dumps +during text deletion. + +10/5/92 (bug work-around) Changed tkColor.c to ignore errors when freeing +colors. This is needed to work around improper reference count management +for colormap entries under X11/NeWS. + +10/7/92 (new feature) Added support for different visual types, including +procedures Tk_SetWindowVisual and Tk_SetWindowColormap, plus macros +Tk_Visual, Tk_Depth, and Tk_Colormap. The code for this was contributed +by Paul Mackerras. + +10/7/92 (new feature) Added Tk_IsTopLevel macro. + +10/12/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tk.tcl that caused torn-off menus with +cascaded children not to track mouse motion correctly (the cascade +switched in response to mouse motions within the cascaded child). + +10/12/92 (new feature) Major changes to focus handling: +(a) Tk watches FocusIn and FocusOut events for focus changes, not Enter + and Leave, so it will work better with explicit-focus-model window + managers (e.g. mwm in default mode). +(b) Tk generates FocusIn and FocusOut events for the focus window now. + The old procedural interface (via Tk_CreateFocusHandler) is obsolete + and is no longer used inside Tk. It is still supported for + compatibility, but won't be for long. You should change your code + to use FocusIn and FocusOut events instead. +(c) The model for FocusIn and FocusOut events is different than the + one described in Xlib documentation. See the "focus" manual entry + for details. +(d) If there is no input focus then keyboard events are discarded. They + used to be directed to the mouse pointer window, although this wasn't + documented. The focus now defaults to the root window. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +10/15/92 (bug fix) Fixed text items in canvases where they didn't +display the insertion cursor if the item had no characters in it. + +10/26/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkSelect.c that occasionally caused +BadWindow X protocol errors when retrieving the selection. Tk wasn't +making sure that a window existed before using it to retrieve the +selection. + +10/30/92 (feature change) Changed canvases so that if the scroll region +is smaller than the window and -confine is on, the scroll region isn't +forced to be centered in the window; it can be anywhere that meets the +confinement restrictions. + +11/2/92 (new feature) Added "winfo exists" command. + +11/5/92 (new feature) Changed DoWhenIdle handlers so that if a new +when-idle handler is created as a side-effect of another when-idle +handler, the new handler isn't invoked until Tk has first checked +for other events to process. + +11/6/92 (bug fixes, new features) Major overhaul of window manager +interface: +(a) Tk should now work with virtual-root window managers; +(b) windows will now place more accurately on the screen and stay where + they're supposed to; +(c) size changes handled more reliably; +(d) code now works robustly in the face of withdrawals followed + immediately by deiconifications. +(e) Added new procedure Tk_GetVRootInfo and new options to "winfo" command: + vrootx, vrooty, vrootwidth, vrootheight. +(f) Added "overrideredirect" option to "wm". +(g) Fixed bug where change in width-only via "wm geom" didn't always work + (min and max window sizes weren't being set properly for the wm). + +11/6/92 (bug fixes) Modified menus so that they work correctly with +virtual root window managers. Also fixed bug where menus didn't move +along with their associated windows, so that the menu popped up at +the old location of the window rather than its new location. + +11/9/92 (new constraint) Made it illegal to give windows names that +start with upper-case letters, since such names will goof up the +option database by appearing to be classes rather than names. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +11/10/92 (new feature) Added Postscript output to canvases. + +11/13/92 (bug fix) Changed default for maximum size passed to window +manager from 1000000 (which causes some wm's to make windows too large +when "maximized") to the size of the display. + +11/14/92 (feature change) Major overhaul of menubuttons and pull-down +menus. Removed event-sharing code, including Tk_ShareEvents and +Tk_UnshareEvents. The -variable option for menubuttons has been +removed,and the "post" and "unpost" widget commands for menubuttons +no longer exist. The "post" widget command for menus no longer +allows a group option. The procedure tk_menus has been replaced +with a new procedure, tk_menuBar, which has a slightly different +interface. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +11/20/92 (new features, feature changes) Major overhaul of grab +mechanism to produce more correct event streams. Also changed Tcl +commands to require explicit window for grab releases (makes it +possible for grabs to work on multiple displays simultaneously). +The old "grab none" command no longer exists, but new options +have been added: "current", "release", "set", and "status". +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +11/20/92 (new feature) Use TK_LIBRARY environment variable to set library +directory location, if it is defined. Otherwise fall back on usual +compiled-in value. + +11/25/92 (bug fix) "wm grid" command was using wrong window. + +11/29/92 (bug fix) Fixed core dump that occurred when trying to use +placer on top-level windows: return error instead. + +11/29/92 (bug fix) Selection retrieval wasn't making sure that the window +on whose behalf selection is being retrieved actually exists. + +12/3/92 (new feature) Added support for Mode_switch key to support the +full ISO character set. Also added event handlers for MappingNotify +events so that Tk updates itself in response to keycode and modifier +changes. + +12/6/92 (bug fix) Ignore recursive attempts to destroy window. + +12/9/92 (new demos) Added "tcolor" and "rmt" demos. + +12/10/92 (new features) Added "yposition" widget command for menus, +changed "delete" widget command to take an optional second index, +and changed -command option for cascade entries so that it is +invoked when the entry is activated rather than when it is invoked. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +12/12/92 (implementation change) Changed the procedures Tk_FreeBitmap, +Tk_NameOfBitmap, Tk_SizeOfBitmap, Tk_FreeCursor, Tk_NameOfCursor, and +Tk_FreeGC to require an addition Display argument. This is needed for +Tk to function correctly when an application has windows on multiple +displays. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +12/12/92 (new feature) Started creating a test suite. Right now it +only has a few tests. + +12/12/92 (new feature) Modified the packer so that a window can be +packed in descendants of its parent (used to be restricted to the +parent alone). This makes it possible to hide extra windows used +for geometry management. Also, can use generalized screen distances +in the "pack" command. + +12/16/92 (feature change) Boolean options such as -exportselection now +print as 0/1 rather than true/false (both the default and current values +print this way). This makes it easier to use these values in expressions. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +12/16/92 (name change) The classes "RadioButton" and "CheckButton" have +been renamed "Radiobutton" and "Checkbutton" for consistency. From now +on widget class names will have exactly one capital letter. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +12/16/92 (new feature) Added -setgrid option to listboxes. + +12/16/92 (new feature) The "destroy" command, and the "delete" widget +command for canvases, now accept any number of arguments, including +zero. + +12/16/92 (new feature) Changed internal TkBindError procedure to +Tk_BackgroundError and exported it to Tk clients. + +12/16/92 (option name change) Changed the place command's "dependents" +option to "slaves" for better consistency with documentation. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +12/16/92 (name changes) Renamed the "cursor*" options in entries and +canvases to "insert*". Also renamed the "cursor" index to "insert" and +the "cursor" widget command to "icursor". This was done to avoid +confusion between the mouse cursor and the insertion cursor. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +---------------------- Release 3.0, 12/17/92 ------------------------- + +12/17/92 (bug fix) Fixed dangling-pointer bug in canvases that occurred +if a binding deleted the current item. + +12/18/92 (bug fix) Core dump occurred if "wm" invoked with no arguments. +Also, tkWm.c wasn't properly setting WM_CLASS property on application +startup. + +12/18/92 (incorrect documentation) Updated manual entries for Tk_FreeGC, +Tk_FreeCursor, and Tk_FreeBitmap to reflect new interface that requires +"display" argument. + +12/18/92 (missing documentation) Added documentation for the canvas +"postscript" command, which was missing in the 3.0 release. + +12/21/92 (bug fixes) There were lots of problems with the new installation +targets in the Makefiles, such as using "cp -f" and not installing +prolog.ps. Made several other miscellaneous improvements to Makefile. + +12/21/92 (bug fix) Arrowheads on canvas line items weren't moving properly +after coordinate changes made with the "coords" widget command. + +12/21/92 (bug fix) If top-level window was initially withdrawn, couldn't +ever deiconify it again. + +12/21/92 (bug fix) Double-button event sequences didn't always trigger +properly when grabs were in effect. + +12/22/92 (bug fix) The packer didn't display any top or bottom windows +after a left or right expanded window, and vice versa. Also made the +distribution of space among expanded windows more even. + +12/28/92 (new features) Several improvements to selection: +(a) Added procedures Tk_ClearSelection and Tk_DeleteSelHandler. +(b) Added "clear" and "own" options to "selection" command, extended + "handle" option to delete handlers. +(c) Error returns from "selection handle" scripts are now turned into + selection retrieval errors ("no such selection") rather than an + empty selection. +(d) Tk responds automatically for targets APPLICATION (name of application, + so you can "send" to it) and WINDOW_NAME (name of window within + application. +(e) Added test file "select.test" to test suite. + +12/28/92 (bug fix) Fixed problem with flashing menus that occurred +because menu.tcl was willing to unpost and then immediately repost +the same menu. + +1/6/93 (bug fix) Test for UnmapNotify events in tkPack.c used = instead +of ==. + +1/21/93 (bug fix) Changed many widgets to eliminate use of +DefaultVisualofScreen, DefaultColormap, etc. and use the visuals +and colormaps for the actual windows instead. Also changed to +inherit colormaps and windows from parent by default. + +1/21/93 (new features) Added new winfo options "cells", "depth", and +"visual". + +1/23/93 (bug fix) Fixed problem with text display that could result +in negative XCopyArea heights being sent to X server. This causes some +servers (e.g. some versions of OpenWindows) to crash. + +1/25/93 (new feature) Added -postcommand option to menus, so that menus +can be reconfigured before each posting. + +1/29/93 (feature change) Changed %X and %Y in bindings so that they +refer to the virtual root rather than the true root. Although +potentially incompatible, this change should almost always "do the +right thing". +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +1/31/93 (bug fix) Changed "send" code to grab server while updating +the registry property (before this fix, two programs could allocate +the same interpreter name if they started up simultaneously). In +order to make this fix I had to change the code for reclaiming +names of dead interpreters in a way that sometimes allows dead +interpreters to persist in the registry. + +2/1/93 (feature change) Changed entries to allow leftmost "visible" +character to be the end of the text (i.e. no characters actually visible). +This is needed so that the cursor can be displayed even if the last +actual character is too wide to fit in the window. + +2/3/93 (bug fix) Fixed two bugs in tkFocus.c: (a) FocusIn events +were getting lost in some cases because the focus window hadn't been +created yet (e.g. new top-level window pops up underneath the mouse); +(b) Tk was accidentally triggering FocusOut events when the mouse +moved from a top-level window to one of its children. + +2/4/93 (new feature) Added "visibility" option to "tkwait" command to make +it easier to wait for a new window to appear on the screen. + +---------------------- Release 3.1, 2/5/93 ------------------------- + +2/10/93 (installation improvements) Makefile improvements: added RANLIB +variable for easier Sys-V installation, changed to use INCLUDE_DIR +properly, and added SHELL variable for SGI systems. + +---------------------- Release 3.2, 2/11/93 ------------------------- + +2/11/93 (new feature) Added "wm state" command, and improved wm so that +the right thing will happen if you invoke "wm iconify" when a window is +withdrawn. + +2/14/93 (bug fix) When -colormap option was used in generating Postscript +for canvases, Tk didn't add an extra space after the color command. + +2/14/93 (new feature) Changed "extern" declarations in tk.h to "EXTERN", +which will use the definition of EXTERN from tcl.h and work correctly +in C++ programs. + +2/18/93 (bug fix) Item-specific bindings weren't getting deleted from +canvas items when the items were deleted. As a result, they could +suddenly re-appear for new items if the new items were allocated a +record at the same addresses as the old ones. + +2/18/93 (feature reversal) Changed "after" back again, so that it sleeps +*without* responding to events when it is invoked with just one argument; +can always use tkwait plus after with additional arguments to achieve +the effect of responding to events. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +2/20/93 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkWindow.c where colormaps weren't being +set correctly for new top-level windows on different screens than their +parents (the bug results in X protocol errors: "invalid Colormap +parameter"). + +2/22/93 (bug fix) Changed "#!/usr/local/wish" in demo scripts to +"#!/usr/local/bin/wish" to reflect new location of binary. + +2/22/93 (new feature) Added new reliefs "groove" and "ridge". + +2/25/93 (new feature) Added new built-in bitmaps: "error", "hourglass", +"info", "question", "questhead", and "warning". Also added new demo in +"widget" to display all of these (under the Miscellaneous menu). + +2/25/93 (improved implementation) Changed DrawText procedure in +prolog for outputting Postscript from canvases to use stringwidth +instead of charpath+pathbbox: avoids limitcheck problems with long +strings, and also properly includes space characters in calculation. + +2/25/93 (bug fix) Fixed several bugs in library/menu.tcl that caused +menu traversal to mis-behave when menu had no entries. + +2/26/93 (new feature) Added "wm frame" command. + +3/6/93 (bug fix) Mwm in click-to-focus mode was goofing up grabs so that +pull-down menus were sometimes unresponsive. Modified tk.tcl to ignore +the spurious B1-Enter events generated by mwm, plus modified tkGrab.c to +release simulated button grabs correctly. + +3/8/93 (bug fix) Tk had wrong interpretation of "lbearing" font metric, +which caused text to be displayed at the wrong horizontal position in +several places (labels/buttons, listboxes, canvas text, scales). This +change will cause slight changes in the way certain widgets are +displayed. + +3/12/93 (bug fix) Fixed core dumps that occurred in tkEntry.c because of +zero values in entryPtr->avgWidth. + +3/12/93 (bug fix) Tk_CoordsToWindow was using root coordinates always. +Changed to use virtual-root coordinates when a virtual-root window +manager is being used. Before this fix, "winfo containing" didn't +return the correct window under virtual-root window managers. + +3/18/93 (bug fix) Modified tkWm.c so that Tk doesn't fight with window +manager over position of window; it just takes what the window manager +gives it. + +3/21/93 (new feature) Changed menus to display cascade entries with +standard Motif arrows at right side.a + +3/22/93 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkPack.c that was causing memory to +get trashed with the integer value 1. + +3/22/93 (bug fix) Canvas text didn't print correctly if it contained +an open paren (or other special character) immediately followed by +an octal digit. + +3/22/93 (bug fix) Text widgets didn't redisplay properly in cases +where two or more groups of lines both got taller at the same time +(e.g. from tag changes), causing two separate bit copies where the +first bit copy's target area overlapped the source area for +the second bit copy. + +4/1/93 (bug fix) Changed canvases to use ISO Latin-1 font encoding +if that's supported by the Postscript interpreter. Also added workaround +for bug in NeWSprint related to stipple fills. + +4/1/93 (bug fixes) Made various changes to focusing and grabs to +eliminate extraneous focus events and generally improve behavior. + +4/2/93 (bug fix) Modified tkWm.c not to wait indefinitely for the window +manager to map or reconfigure a window: this led to deadlock in some +situations, such as creating a new top-level window with a grab held. + +4/19/93 (bug fix) Fixed another bug in tkWm.c that caused windows to walk +across the screen in some situations. Also fixed problem where rapid +posting and unposting of cascaded submenus (or menus?) could cause Tk +to become confused about whether or not a window is mapped (added +TkWmUnmapWindow procedure to make top-level unmaps synchronous). + +4/24/93 (feature change) Changed the "after" command to allow times +less than or equal to 0, and to use 0 whenever they occur. + +4/26/93 (new feature) Implemented security check for "send" as proposed +by Bennett Todd: incoming sends are now rejected unless (a) xhost-style +access control is enabled and (b) the list of authorized hosts is +empty. In other words, you have to use xauth to use send. This feature +can be disabled by setting the TK_NO_SECURITY flag at compile-time. + +5/15/93 (improvement) Switched to use Tcl_PrintDouble whenever returning +real values as Tcl results. This potentially allows higher precision. +Switched to use %.15g whenever printing reals in Postscript files. +However, the change Tcl_PrintDouble causes incompatibilities. For +now, it's disabled with a macro in tclInt.h that redefines Tcl_PrintDouble. +Tk 4.0 will delete the macro, and you can also delete it now if you +want the better (but incompatible) behavior. + +5/19/93 (bug fix) Fixed divide-by-zero problem that could occur in +closeness calculations for canvas oval items. + +5/30/93 (bug fix) PROP and CONFIG were accidentally #defined to the same +value in tkBind.c, which could cause incorrect %-substitutions in event +bindings in a few exotic cases. + +6/4/93 (improvement) Changed to use GNU autoconfig for configuration. +Makefile format changed, and Tcl is no longer automatically included +in Tk releases. + +6/7/93 (bug fix) Fixed off-by-one error in rounding negative coordinates +during redisplay of canvases. + +6/9/93 (feature improvement) Modified default bindings for entries to +keep one character visible to the left of the cursor during backspaces. + +6/18/93 (feature improvement) Added patchlevel.h, for use in coordinating +future patch releases, and also added tk_patchLevel variable to make the +patch level available in scripts. + +6/26/93 (bug fix) Fixed numeric problems in scales that occurred with +very large scale values. + +6/26/93 (bug fix) Polygon items in canvases could cause core dumps if +the "coords" widget command was used to add one new coordinate. + +6/26/93 (bug fix) Changed canvases to handle large stipple patterns +gracefully (stipples used to jump around during redisplay and lose +coherency). + +7/1/93 (syntax change, new feature) Implemented the new packer syntax +as described in the book. For now the old syntax will continue to be +supported too. Converting over is straightforward except (a) use +"-anchor" instead of "frame", and (b) padding is different (separate +internal and external padding, plus pad amounts are *on each side* +instead of total). Also added "pack propagate" command for keeping +the packer from setting the master's requested size. + +7/1/93 Changed copyright notices. The effect is the same as with the +old notices, but the new notices more clearly disclaim liability. + +7/7/93 (new feature) Added support for window stacking order. Windows +will now stack in the order created (most recent on top), plus "raise" +and "lower" commands may be used to restack (Tk_RestackWindow procedure +is available from C level). + +7/7/93 (reorganization) Moved main.c to tkMain.c, reorganized it to +call Tcl_AppInit just like tclsh does, and added argv0 variable to contain +application name, and added default Tcl_AppInit procedure for wish. +Also added tkTest.c to hold C code for testing. + +7/7/93 (new feature) Added new Tk-specific "exit" command, which cleans +up properly before exiting. It replaces the Tcl "exit" command, and +can be used in place of "destroy .". + +7/9/93 (new features) Added tk_dialog library procedure that creates +dialogs with a bitmap, message, and any number of buttons. Also changed +default tkerror procedure to use tk_dialog plus offer the user a chance +to see a Tcl stack trace. + +-------------------- Release 3.3 Beta 1, 7/9/93 ------------------------- + +7/12/93 (configuration changes) Eliminated leading blank line in +configure script; provided separate targets in Makefile for installing +binary and non-binary information; fixed -lnsl and -lsocket handling +in configure; added autoconf support for fd_set type; check for various +typedefs like mode_t and size_t, and provide substitutes if they +don't exist; don't include tkAppInit.o in libtk.a; try to locate the +X includes and library in all of the standard places for various systems. + +7/14/93 (new feature) Modified tkMain.c so that it stores the value +of the -display command-line option into the DISPLAY environment +variable, if it is specified. + +7/15/93 (feature removal) Removed auto-initialization feature from +Tk_ConfigureWidget, so that you must once again initialize all fields +of a widget record before calling Tk_ConfigureWidget. This restores +the behavior back to what it was in Tk 3.2. + +7/16/93 (bug fix) Modified tkBind.c to ignore the Caps Lock modifier +unless it is explicitly requested in a binding. Without this fix, +buttons and menus and other things didn't work if the Caps Lock key +was active. + +-------------------- Release 3.3 Beta 2, 7/21/93 ------------------------- + +7/21/93 (new feature) Change "make install" so that it will modify the +#! lines on demo scripts to reflect the place where the wish binary +is installed. + +7/23/93 (new feature) Added Tk_MainWindow procedure that returns the +main window associated with a Tcl interpreter. This is intended for +use by Tcl_AppInit and other initialization procedures. + +7/24/93 (configuration improvements) Changed configure script not to +omplain about "fd_set" missing if it's defined in . + +7/28/93 (bug fix) "Bad Match - parameter mismatch" errors were +sometimes occurring when several top-level windows got created +at the same time, due to wrong choice of sibling when stacking +windows. + +8/14/93 (new feature) Added support for tcl_prompt1 and tcl_prompt2 +to wish main program: makes prompts user-settable. + +8/19/93 (bug fix) Bindings to event sequences like "aD" never matched +because the Shift key has to be pressed before D. Modified Tk to +ignore extraneous keypresses if they are for modifier keys. + +8/26/93 (configuration changes) Added Tk_Init, modified Tcl_AppInit +procedures to use it and Tcl_Init. Added support for .wishrc file. + +8/28/93 (new feature) The main window is now a legitimate toplevel +widget. + +-------------------- Release 3.3 Beta 3, 8/30/93 ------------------------- + +9/2/93 (bug fix) The packer wasn't always relaying out a master after +changes to some of the configuration options of its slaves. + +9/2/93 (bug fix) The binding mechanism made it impossible for patterns +like to ever match. + +9/2/93 (bug fix) Fixed core dump that occurred for bitmap canvas items +if Postscript is generated but no -bitmap option has been specified. + +9/4/93 (enhancement) Slight improvements to menu traversal: set menu +traversal bindings for menubar window in tk_menuBar, plus trigger +traversal on instead of . + +9/9/93 (bug fix) Changed tkBind.c so that the Num_Lock key doesn't +prevent events from triggering bindings. + +9/9/93 (bug fix) Changed tkOption.c to always fetch RESOURCE_MANAGER +property from root window of screen 0, rather than using default +screen. + +9/9/93 (bug fix) Entry widgets weren't allocating quite enough width +for themselves. Fixed this and changed the size computation to match +what's done for buttons and texts. + +9/16/93 (bug fix) Changed tkMain.c not to call exit C procedure directly; +instead always invoke "exit" Tcl command so that application can redefine +the command to do additional cleanup. + +-------------------- Release 3.3, 9/29/93 ------------------------- + +9/30/93 (bug fix) Packer wasn't unmapping slaves when master got deleted. + +9/30/93 (bug fix) Binding event sequences such as were being +misprinted as ASCII characters such as "S". + +10/6/93 (bug fix) Canvases weren't unmapping window items when the canvas +got unmapped, which caused problems for window items whose windows weren't +descendants of the canvas (they got left on the screen). + +10/7/93 (feature change) NULL proc arguments to Tk_CreateFileHandler used +to have a special undocumented meaning (fd was display); eliminated this +special interpretation. + +10/7/93 (configuration change) Eliminated dependency of tkMain.c on +tkInt.h and tkConfig.h, so that it's easier for people to copy the file +out of the source directory to make modified versions. + +10/8/93 (bug fix) 3.0 introduced a bug where the class of the application +wasn't being set properly, so options based on the application class +weren't triggering. Fixed by adding new argument to Tk_CreateMainWindow. + +10/11/93 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkTextBTree.c where some deletions would +cause core dumps due to halfwayLinePtr not getting set correctly. + +10/18/93 (bug fix) Fixed a couple of bugs that made it hard to actually +display N characters in an entry with "-width N" (tended to scroll the +entry so that only N-1 characters were visible at once). + +10/22/93 (bug fix) During configuration, XINCLUDE_DIR and XLIBRARY_DIR +weren't overriding xmkmf like they were supposed to. + +10/23/93 (new feature) Allow negative scale factors in canvas "scale" +widget command. + +10/23/93 (bug fix) Grabs weren't being cleaned up right if the grab +window was deleted, causing core-dumps in some cases. + +10/23/93 (bug fix) tk_TextSelectTo wasn't checking to be sure that +the "anchor" mark exists. + +10/27/93 (bug fix) Fixed core dump that could occur in a text widget if +the scroll command modifies the text. + +11/1/93 (bug fix) Change texts so that the -yscrollcommand option is +invoked at display time, not when the window is re-layed out. This +eliminated various core dumps that could occur if -yscrollcommand modified +the text. + +-------------------- Release 3.4, 11/04/93 ------------------------- + +Note: there is no 3.5 release. It was flawed and was thus withdrawn +shortly after it was released. + +11/12/93 (bug fix) TkMain.c didn't compile on some systems because of +R_OK in call to "access". Changed to eliminate call to "access". + +-------------------- Release 3.6, 11/26/93 ------------------------- + +11/10/93 (bug fix) Packer and placer didn't always reposition a window +correctly if it was managed inside a neice or lower descendant (using +"-in" option) and the neice's parent moved. + +11/24/93 (bug fix) Fixed time problem in selection (retrievals could +fail if retriever hasn't received any X events since selection was +made, so that time of retrieval appears to be older than time of +selection). Selection code is now much less picky about times, both +on retrieving and supplying sides. + +12/2/93 (new feature) Changed arrow-head drawing code for canvas +lines to draw a 0-width outline in addition to filling the area: +this produces much nicer, more symmetrical displays. + +12/2/93 (bug fix) When colors ran out, Tk was invoking "tkerror" +when its state was internally inconsistent, which could cause +core dumps in some situations (e.g. if tkerror used the same color +that caused colors to run out). Changed notification to occur +as a when-idle handler. + +12/3/93 (bug fix) During a global grab, Tk wasn't including PointerMotion +in the list of grabbed events, so pointer motion couldn't be tracked +outside the grabbing application. + +12/3/93 (bug fix) Canvases didn't handle smoothed lines correctly +when they only contained two points. + +12/3/93 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkWindow.c where certain kinds of +errors during window creation could cause Destroy events to be generated +for a window that was never completely initialized. + +12/13/93 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkTextDisp.c that resulted in core +dumps at line 1467 under exmh. The exact situation is that a text +widget was being redisplayed at a time when it had a -yscrollcommand +option but hadn't yet been mapped onto the screen. + +12/17/93 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkWindow.c whereby new top-level windows +with non-default visuals still inherited border pixmap from parent (root), +which could cause visual clash and X error. + +12/17/93 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkTextDisp.c that caused round-off +error in the information passed to scroll commands. + +12/18/93 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkPack.c that caused core dumps in +some situations if a master with siblings packed "-in" it was deleted. + +12/18/93 (bug fix) Added "compat" directory to distribution, since it's +referenced by tkConfig.h on some systems. + +12/18/93 (performance improvement) Improved performance of appending to +a listbox, so that inserting N items doesn't take N**2 time. + +12/20/93 (bug fix) Fixed bug in canvas ovals that caused the fill color +for the oval to stick out past the outline. + +1/2/94 (fixed Xlib bug) Added code to reuse X resource identifiers so +that they won't run out in long running applications. There are three +new library procedures: Tk_FreeXId, Tk_GetPixmap, and Tk_FreePixmap. +Modified all Tk code to use these procedures, so wish applications should +now be able to run forever without running out of identifiers. + +1/10/94 (bug fix) tkCursor wasn't freeing pixmaps used to create +cursors, which caused memory leaks in programs that changed cursors +frequently. + +1/21/94 (bug fix) Fixed bug in scales that caused them to loop +infinitely drawing tick-marks when -from and -to were the same. + +2/2/94 (bug fix) Fixed problem where messages that contained tabs +didn't always compute the correct size, so that text spilled off +the right edge. The fix adds an extra "tabOrigin" parameter to +the internal procedures TkMeasureChars, TkDisplayChars, and +TkUnderlineChars. + +2/4/94 (bug fix) Fixed off-by-one problem in tkBind.c that caused +it to read past the initialized part of dispPtr->modKeyCodes. + +2/7/94 (bug fix) Text widgets didn't handle grabs correctly, such +that the "current" character got stuck if a grab occurred while a +mouse button was down. It would get unstuck until after the +next button press and release. + +2/19/94 (bug fix) Fixed prolog.ps (prolog for Postscript printing from +canvases) so that it correctly prints all of the characters in the +ISO Latin-1 character set. + +2/19/94 (bug fix) Modified tkBind.c to save and restore the interpreter's +result across the execution of binding scripts. Otherwise if an event +triggers in the middle of some other script (e.g. a destroy event during +window creation, because there was an error in the creation command), +the intepreter's result gets lost. + +2/19/94 (bug fix) Fixed bug in dealing with results of sent command +that could cause them to get lost in some situations. + +2/21/94 (bug fix) Don't let user close a dialog window created by +tk_dialog, since this would cause tk_dialog to hang: force the user +to select one of the dialog's buttons. + +2/21/94 (bug fix) Fixed bug in canvas polygons whereby they didn't +correctly handle changes in the number of points (via "coords" +widget command). + +2/23/94 (bug fix) Large bitmaps in canvases didn't print correctly +because they overflowed the 64-KB limit on strings in Postscript. +Changed canvas printing to split up large bitmaps into mutliple +smaller ones for printing. + +2/25/94 (bug fix) The "." window was being set up with -width +and -height options, which interfered with geometry management (any +configuration change on "." causes the window to change size to +200x200, then change back again). + +2/26/94 (bug fix) Fixed several bugs that occurred when a Destroy +event handler for a window deleted the window's parent. + +3/3/94 (new features) Changes to binding mechanism: + - The modifiers for "Alt", "Meta", and "M" are now computed by + examining the modifier map, rather than being hardwired to + M2, M1, and M1. + - When processing events, one script is invoked for each object + in the list passed to Tk_BindEvent, rather than stopping as + soon as a script is invoked for some object. The "break" and + "continue" commands can be used within a script to abort all + scripts for the event or the current one. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - Added "bindtags" command so that new binding groups can be + defined for widgets and the evaluation order can be changed. + - When matching events to bindings, extra modifiers are now ignored, + as if "Any" were specified for every event. The "Any" modifier + is still recognized, but it is ignored and is deprecated. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - In % sequences that print window identifiers (e.g. %a and %S), print + in hexadecimal rather than decimal, for consistence with "winfo id". + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - The "bind" command no longer supports the event types CirculateRequest, + ConfigureRequest, MapRequest, or ResizeRequest. These event types + are somewhat dangerous, and they never worked anyway. + +3/13/94 (bug fix) Fixed numerous problems with the "wm iconwindow" command. +It appears that this command never really worked at all, but it should +work OK now. + +3/14/94 (feature changes) Removed several obsolete features: + - Eliminated "enable" and "disable" widget commands for menus. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - Eliminated "activate" and "deactivate" widget commands for buttons, + checkbuttons, radiobuttons, and menubuttons. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - Removed -geometry option for frames and toplevels: it causes + problems when .Xdefaults files contain entries like + "*geometry: +0+0". Must use -width and -height instead. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - Desupported "tkVersion" variable: use "tk_version" instead. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +3/16/94 (feature changes) Changes to listboxes: + - Eliminated -geometry option (it causes problems when .Xdefaults + files contain entries like "*geometry: +0+0"). Added -width + and -height options to use instead. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +3/21/94 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkOption.c where the option cache wasn't +properly cleaned up after window deletion; this could cause the wrong +value from the option database to be used under some conditions. + +3/25/94 (new features) Changes to geometry management: + - Added Tk_MaintainGeometry and Tk_UnmaintainGeometry procedures + to solve problems with -in windows. Modified the packer, the + placer, and canvases to use them. + - Changed 2nd argument to Tk_ManageGeometry from Tk_GeometryProc * + to a pointer to a structure with additional information about + the geometry manager, such as name and procedure to call when + slaves are stolen. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +3/28/94 (new feature) Overhauled event management: + - Added "cancel" option to the "after" command so that you can + cancel previously-scheduled commands. + - Separated X-specific stuff from generic event management. The + file tkEvent.c can now be used stand-alone without the rest of Tk. + See the manual entry for Tk_EventInit for information on which + procedures are available this way. + - Added Tk_CreateFileHandler2 procedure, which provides a lower-level + and more powerful form of file event handler. + - Fixed bug in Tk_DoOneEvent where an infinite loop could occur if + the TK_FILE_EVENT and TK_DONT_WAIT flags were set simultaneously + (there were bugs with several other combinations too; all should + be fixed now). + +3/28/94 (new feature) Added "fileevent" command, which allows event- +driven I/O in the style of Mark Diekhans' "addinput" command. + +4/11/94 (new feature) Better support for colormaps and visuals: + - Added new -colormap and -visual options to toplevels and frames. + - Added "winfo visualsavailable" command. + - Added "wm colormapwindows" command, plus support for WM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS + to Tk_SetWindowColormap. + - Added new library procedures Tk_GetVisual, Tk_GetColormap, + and Tk_FreeColormap. + +4/11/94 (bug fix) Fixed core dump that used to occur when specifying +an iconwindow ("wm iconwindow") for a toplevel on a different screen +than the main window. + +4/23/94 (new feature) Added support for images, including the following: + - New "image" command for creating images. + - Built-in image type: bitmap. + - New "image" item type in canvases. + - Labels, buttons, checkbuttons, radiobuttons, menubuttons, and + menu entries now support a -image option for displaying images. + - Tk_CreateImageType and Tk_ImageChanged procedures, for defining + new types of images in C. + - Tk_GetImage, Tk_FreeImage, Tk_RedrawImage, and Tk_SizeOfImage + procedures, for using images in widgets. + +5/1/94 (new features) Added new procedures Tk_3DVerticalBevel and +Tk_3DHorizontalBevel. + +5/11/94 (new features) Major overhaul of text widgets: + - Implemented embedded windows and "window" widget command. + - Added new configuration options for tags: -justify, -lmargin1, + -lmargin2, -rmargin, -offset, -spacing1, -spacing2, and -spacing3. + See the "Display styles" widget demo for examples. + - Added new configuration options for texts: -spacing1, -spacing2, + and -spacing3. + - Added "tagList" option to "insert" widget command to control + tags on new text. Made tagged regions so they aren't sticky on + either side: new characters get a tag only if the old chars. on + both sides had it. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - Added gravity for marks, and "mark gravity" widget command. + - Added horizontal scrolling, "xview" widget command, -xscrollcommand + option. Changed "scan" widget commands to support horizontal + scrolling. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - Added "search" widget command for searching (either exact matches + or regular expressions). + - New widget commands: bbox, dlineinfo, and see. + - Changed implementation of bindings so that Enter and Leave + events are not generated unless the tag has just become present + (or just ceased to be present) on the current character. Also + changed bindings to process separately for each tag, rather than + having high-priority tags override low-priority ones. + - The "end" index now refers to the character after the last newline + rather than the newline itself. You can now tag the final newline + and set a mark after the final newline. + - Deletions of the "sel" tag and the "insert" and "current" marks + are now ignored silently, rather than generating errors. This means + you can do things like "eval .t tag delete [.t tag names]". + +5/19/94 (bug fix) Canvases didn't generate proper Postscript for stippled +text. + +5/20/94 (new feature) Added "bell" command to ring the display's bell. + +5/20/94 (new feature) Incorporated "square" demonstration widget into +tktest application. + +5/20/94 (new features) Changed wish application (tkMain.c): + - wish no longer processes the -help option. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - The wish main program is now called Tk_Main; tkAppInit.c has a + "main" procedure that calls Tk_Main. This makes it easier to use + Tk with C++ programs, which need their own main programs, and it + also allows an application to prefilter the argument list before + calling Tk_Main. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - The application's class is now the same as its name (except the + first letter is capitalized), instead of "Tk". + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - The -file keyword is no longer required: the script file name can + be provided as the first argument without being preceded by "-file", + as in tclsh. For backward compatibility the "-file" keyword is + ignored if it is the first argument, but it is deprecated. + +5/26/94 (feature removed) Removed support for "fill" justify mode from +Tk_GetJustify and from the TK_CONFIG_JUSTIFY configuration option. None +of the built-in widgets ever supported this mode anyway. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +5/27/94 (feature change) Changed Tk to use Tk_PrintDouble everywhere +that it converts reals to strings. This means that floating-point +values will be generated in some cases where integer-like values were +generated before. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +6/1/94 (feature change) Renamed "pack newinfo" command to "pack info". +The old "pack info" command is no longer available. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +6/20/94 (feature changes) Overhaul of entry widgets: + - Added "-justify" option. + - Added "-show" option to make entries easier to use for passwords. + - Added "cget" widget command. + - Added "selection range" and "selection present" widget commands. + - Added "anchor" symbolic index. + - Changed "-scrollcommand" option to "-xscrollcommand", "view" + widget command to "xview", for compatibility with other widgets. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - Changed sel.last to refer to character just *after* last one + selected, again for compatibility with other widgets. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - For "delete" widget command, second index now refers to character + just *after* last one to delete. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - Overhauled bindings to be more Motif-compatible and to include + common Emacs bindings for editing. + - Changed -width option: if specified as 0, widget sizes to fit + its current text. + +6/11/94 (new features) Improved Motif compatibility: + - Added "-highlightwidth" and "-highlightcolor" options to all widgets. + +6/27/94 (bug fix) Postscript generation for text items in canvases was +not justifying the text properly when a -width was specified that was +longer than the longest line. + +6/27/94 (bug fix) "winfo exists" used to report a window as existing +if it was in the process of being destroyed (i.e., a destroy handler +is in the middle of execution). Changed to report it as non-existent +under these conditions. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +7/11/94 (bug fix) Selections claimed via "selection own" weren't always +being cleared properly when the selection was claimed away. Also fixed +bug where Tk wasn't properly claiming the selection, if there haven't +been any recent X events at the time of the claim. + +7/13/94 (feature changes) Overhaul of scrollbar widgets: + - New widget commands: "activate", "cget", "fraction", and "identify". + - New options: -activebackground, -activerelief, -highlightcolor, + -jump, -highlightthickness, and -troughcolor. What used to be + -background is now -troughcolor, -foreground is now -background, + and -activeforeground is now -activebackground. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - Added new syntax for "set" command, "get" result, and generated + commands. Changed other widgets to use the new syntax. + - Moved the bindings out of C and into Tcl scripts, using the new + options and widget commands. Added support for all Motif + bindings, plus jump scrolling and cancelling of slider drags. + +7/16/94 (bug fix) Canvases assumed that the Leave event for one item +didn't modify or delete the next current item; this could cause core +dumps under some conditions. + +7/23/94 (feature change) Modified Tk_BackgroundError so that tkerror +is invoked as an idle handler. If tkerror generates a break exception +then all other queued reports are aborted. + +8/14/94 (bug fix) "cursorOffTime" and "cursorOnTime" were confused in +canvases, resulting in the same time being used for both. + +8/16/94 (bug fix) "tkwait variable" command didn't detect errors in +variable name, such as trying to wait for an entire array. + +9/2/94 (new features) Overhaul of scale widgets: + - Floating-point values are supported now, following Paul Mackerras' + "fscale" widget. Added "-resolution" and "-digits" options. + - Added "-variable" option to link scale to variable, following + Henning Schulzrinne's implementation. + - Added focus highlight (-highlightthickness and -highlightcolor + options). + - Added new widget commands "cget", "coords", "identify", plus + improved "get"; removed wired-in bindings, added complete set + of Motif bindings via Tcl scripts. + - Changed -sliderforeground option to -background, -background to + -troughColor, -activeforeground to -activebackground. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - Moved value label from below horizontal scales to above the scale, + for Motif compliance. + +9/9/94 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkWm.c that caused long delays in "raise" +command under some conditions (window already at the top of the stack). + +9/10/94 (new features) Overhaul of label/button/checkbutton/radiobutton +widgets: + - Added focus highlight (-highlightthickness and -highlightcolor + options). + - Added new widget command "cget". + - Changed -selector option to -selectcolor, and changed its meaning + too: empty no longer means don't draw the indicator; it means + don't use a special color when selected. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - Added -indicatoron (controls whether indicator is displayed) and + -selectimage (gives special image to display when selected) options. + - Modified bindings to be more Motif-like, added binding for space + key. + - Changed padding defaults to give widgets correct Motif appearance + by default. Also, changed to ignore padding options when displaying + an image or bitmap. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - Can now display text on multiple lines: newlines cause line breaks, + and word wrapping can be requested with -wraplength option. Also + added -justify and -underline options. + - The -value option for radiobuttons can now have an empty string as + its value; it no longer defaults to the name of the widget. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +9/13/94 (new features) Modified both canvases and messages to support +-highlightthickness and -highlightcolor options plus "cget" widget +command. + +9/19/94 (new features) Added Tk_UnsetGrid procedure, modified widgets +to use it. Also changed Tk_SetGrid so that at most one window per +toplevel can have gridding enabled. + +9/23/94 (new features) Major overhaul of listbox widgets: + - Added focus highlight (-highlightthickness and -highlightcolor + options). + - Added new widget command "cget". + - Revised selection commands to support single selections as well + as multiple disjoint selections; syntax of "selection" widget + command has changed to support this. Added new option -selectmode + for specifying which mode to use. Default is single selection; + tk_listboxSingleSelect procedure no longer exists. Selections + now return as items separated by newlines instead of a list whose + elements are the items. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - Extended "get" widget command to allow many items to be retrieved + at once. + - Added "bbox" widget command for finding position of an element on + screen. + - Added "activate" command to mark element with traversal focus. + - Extended index mechanism to support new types of indices: + "active", "anchor", "@x,y". + - Added "see" widget command. + - Revised bindings to include all Motif features except for AddMode. + - If -width or -height option is <= 0, the widget requests a size just + large enough to hold all of its text. + +10/6/94 (new features) Overhaul of menubuttons: + - Added focus highlight (-highlightthickness and -highlightcolor + options). + - Added new widget command "cget". + - Added -indicatoron option to display option menu indicator. + - The -menu option must be a child of the menubutton. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +10/6/94 (new features) Overhaul of menu widgets: + - Added new widget commands "cget" and "entrycget". + - Changed the implementation of tear-off menus to be more + Motif-like; added -tearoff option for specifying whether + tearoff entry is displayed. + - Changed interpretation of "@y" index: it now returns the + closest entry, rather than "none" if y is outside the menu's + range. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - The -menu option for a cascade entry must now be a child of + the menu. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - Added "type" widget command, so that you can query the type of + an entry. + - Added -foreground, -activeforeground, -selectcolor, -indicatoron, + -image, and -selectimage options to menu entries. + - Changed "selector" menu option to "selectColor" for Motif compliance. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - Added -relief option for menus, just for consistency with other + widgets (it was implicitly "raised" before). + +10/6/94 (feature change) Completely overhauled the bindings for menus +and menubuttons. They now fit better with other Tk 4.0 facilities, +such as the new binding mechanism, and they provide better Motif +compliance (e.g. keyboard traversal of submenus). Also, the bindings +now support option menus, popup menus, and proper Motif tear-off +menus. + +10/6/94 (obsolete features) The procedures tk_menuBar and +tk_bindForTraversal are no longer needed in Tk 4.0. They still exist +for compability, but they do nothing. + +10/6/94 (new procedures) Added "tk_popup" procedure for posting a +popup menu, and "tk_optionMenu" for creating an option menubutton +and its associated menu. + +10/6/94 (change in name) The variable "tk_priv" has been renamed +to "tkPriv" to reflect that fact that it is private to Tk now. +This shouldn't cause any problems, since no-one except Tk should +have been using it before anyway (right?). + +10/6/94 (bug fix) Fixed bug in texts where sometimes the text would +stop tracking mouse motion (the "current" item wouldn't get updated) +because the text widget missed a ButtonRelease event. + +10/20/94 (new features) Overhauled selection code to support multiple +selections (primary, secondary, etc.) and multiple displays: + - Changed "selection" command to support new options such as + "-displayof" and "-selection". Old command formats are still + supported for compatibility, but they are no longer documented + and are deprecated. + - Changed procedures Tk_GetSelection, Tk_CreateSelHandler, and + Tk_ClearSelection to take additional "selection" argument. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - Selection targets APPLICATION and WINDOW_NAME have been replaced + by TK_APPLICATION and TK_WINDOW. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +10/20/94 (new features) Added support for clipboard: + - New "clipboard" command. + - C procedures Tk_ClipboardClear and Tk_ClipboardAppend. + - Bindings for "cut", "paste", and "copy" for text and entry widgets, + plus "copy" binding for listboxes. + +10/24/94 (bug fix) Button widgets weren't checking for errors when +setting the values of associated variables. + +11/3/94 (bug fix) Fixed bug whereby Tk would hang if "exit" was invoked +from inside a binding. + +11/15/94 (new features) Overhaul of focus mechanism: + - Added support for multiple displays: separate focus windows are + kept for each display. + - Added support for keyboard traversal. + - Changed focus model so Tk keeps track of a focus window for each + top-level window and automatically sets the focus on Enter to the + top-level. Tk no longer synthesizes FocusIn and FocusOut events, + but just uses the standard X mechanisms. There is no "default" + focus window anymore; the focus reverts to top-levels by default. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - Changed focus command: eliminated "focus default" and "focus none", + added "-displayof" and "-lastfor" options. An empty string is now + used to signify "no focus" instead of "none". + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - Added library procedures tk_focusNext, tk_focusPrev, and + tk_focusFollowsMouse. + - Removed obsolete Tk_CreateFocusHandler: must use FocusIn and + FocusOut events now. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +11/23/94 (new features) Overhaul of "send" command: + - Added support for multiple displays: -displayof option to "send". + - Added asynchronous sends: -async option to "send". + - Eliminated fixed timeouts on sends: as long as the target + application appears to exist, the send will wait for it. + - Stale entries get removed from the application registry now, + so "winfo interps" should never return non-existent applications. + - Can change the name of an application with "tk appname" command. + This is also the preferred way of querying the application name + now. + - The errorCode and errorInfo variables are now propagated back to + the sender now, so a full stack trace is available. + - Tk checks display security on each send now, instead of just during + initialization, so changes in the security status are seen immediately + by all applications. + - The above changes required changes to the data formats used for + communication between source and target applications, so Tk 4.0 + applications cannot send to, or be sent from, Tk 3.6 applications. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - The procedure Tk_RegisterInterp has been replaced with Tk_SetAppName. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +12/6/94 (cleanup) Eliminated "interp" argument to Tk_GetColorByValue, +since it is no longer needed. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +12/7/94 (feature change) Changed the "wm" command so that top-level +windows are now resizable by default. You can no longer specify +empty arguments to "wm maxsize" and "wm minsize". +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +12/8/94 (new feature) Added new "photo" image type using code provided +by Paul Mackerras: currently supports only PPM "P6" format images. + +12/14/94 (new features) Canvas modifications: + - Modified the interfaces between generic canvas code and the item + types so that it's easy for people to write new item types outside + of Tk. + - Added support for transparent bitmap items: just specify an + empty string as the background color. + - Changed the "xview" and "yview" commands for canvases to use the + new scrolling syntax. + - Eliminated -scrollincrement option. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +12/14/94 (bug fix) Fixed bug where the dimensions of canvas arrowheads +scaled during a "scale" widget command, but the scaling was only +temporary and got lost on the next re-configure of the item. The +correct behavior is for the arrowheads not to scale. + +-------------------- Release 4.0b1, 12/23/94 ------------------------- + +12/26/94 (bug fix) Removed obsolete demos from Makefile (color, dialog, +size), fixed "install" target. + +1/3/95 (bug fix) Fixed all procedure calls to explicitly cast arguments: +implicit conversions from prototypes don't work when compiling under +non-ANSI compilers. Tk is now clean under gcc -Wconversion. + +1/4/95 (bug fix) Used "screenX" without ever setting it in DisplayText +in tkCanvText.c: caused tabs in canvas text items to get messed up. + +1/4/95 (bug fix) Canvases forgot to register the built-in types if +Tk_CreateItemType was called before a canvas widget was created. + +1/4/95 (bug fixes) Fixed glitches in various text bindings: + - Up used to do nothing if the cursor was at 2.0. + - Right used to make the cursor invisible if it was just before + the final newline of the text. + - Control-t didn't conform to Emacs; made it conform to GNU Emacs. + - Deleted Control-x binding, since it doesn't conform to anything and + is confusing for Emacs users. + +1/4/95 (bug fixes) Changed Control-t for entries just as for texts (see +above) an deleted Control-x for entries (see above). + +1/4/95 (bug fix) The packer didn't map slaves unless the master was mapped; +this could cause slaves to get "lost" so that they weren't mapped until the +master resized. + +1/5/95 (bug fix) Scrollbars weren't executing the proper code the first time +the mouse entered the widget; this caused problems if tk_strictMotif was +set. + +1/6/95 (bug fix) Fixed label/button/checkbutton/radiobutton/menubutton +widgets to allow arbitrary screen distances when specifying -width and +-height for an image or bitmap (the manual pages already documented this +but the code didn't implement it). + +1/6/95 (new feature) Added very primitive support for input methods, +as suggested by Martin Forssen. This should be enough for European +character sets (Compose key) but it isn't near enough for Asian +character sets. + +1/8/95 (bug fix) Fixed problem in canvas "xview" and "yview" commands +where divide-by-zero errors could sometimes occur. + +1/8/95 (bug fix) New event handler didn't properly handle files for +which both TK_READABLE and TK_WRITABLE were specified. + +1/11/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug with text selections: was returning count +too high for data, causing bogus garbage to appear when selection was +copied. + +-------------------- Release 4.0b2, 1/12/95 ------------------------- + +1/27/95 (feature removal) Removed %D substitution from binding scripts: +wasn't portable, shouldn't be used anyway. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +1/27/95 (new features) Added -displayof options to the commands +"winfo atom", "winfo atomname", "winfo containing", "winfo interps", +and "winfo pathname". + +1/27/95 (new feature) Added "idle" option to "after" command to run +scripts as idle handlers. + +1/28/95 (new feature) Modified placer to make -x and -relx additive +if you specify both. Same for -y and -rely, -width and -relwidth, +and -height and -relheight. This makes it easy to make request such +as "make .a 2 pixels larger than .b". +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +1/28/95 (new feature) Improved auto-grab mechanism in canvases (which +prevents current item from changing while a button is down): changed +to report Enter and Leave events for the current item while a button +is down. However, as before, no Enter events are reported for other +items until the button goes up. + +1/28/95 (new feature) Bitmap images are now transparent if the -background +is specified as an empty string (-maskdata and -maskfile are ignored in +this case). This is also the default. + +1/28/95 (bug fix) Tk didn't support manufacturer- or site-specific keysyms +such as SunAudioMute. Modified tkBind.c so that it uses XStringToKeysym +in addition to its own hash table, so that all keysyms are now available. + +1/30/95 (feature change) Modified "clipboard append" so that it reclaims +the clipboard selection if it had been previously lost, rather than just +generating an error. This handles certain race conditions more cleanly, +and also allows the use of programs like "xclipboard". + +1/30/95 (new feature) Added -xscrollincrement and -yscrollincrement +options to canvases. + +1/31/95 (bug fix) Geometry management was broken if a particular geometry +manager claimed a slave away from itself. + +1/31/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkVisual.c where a visual with fewer bits +than requested was being selected in preference to one with just the right +number of bits. + +1/31/95 (bug fix) Texts weren't redisplaying the padding region properly +after changes in -padx or -pady. + +1/31/95 (new features) More text improvements: + - Extended "insert" widget command for texts to allow multiple + text-tagList pairs in the same command. + - Added -nocase option to "search" widget command. + - Added -overstrike option to tags. + - Added tab stops, via -tabs option for widget and for tags. + +2/10/95 (bug fix) Modified all widgets to allow renaming of widget +commands. Deleting a widget command will delete the widget. + +2/11/95 (new feature) Added -highlightbackground option to all widgets. + +2/14/95 (new feature) Added "insert" widget command for menus. + +2/15/95 (new feature) Modified text display code (for all widgets) to +display well-known control characters like newline and backspace as +\n or \b instead of \xa. + +2/15/95 (bug fix) Modified bitmap and photo image managers to delete +the image command when the image is deleted. Also modified them to +allow renaming of the image command, and to delete the image if the +image command is deleted. + +2/15/95 (bug fix) Fixed text widgets to allow horizontal scrolling +even if wrapping was enabled, if a line isn't entirely visible due to +a large character or embedded window. + +2/16/95 (feature change) Added "postcascade" widget command to menus, +changed "invoke" and "activate" not to post or unpost submenus. Also +fixed bug in redisplay that tended to leave bits of garbage on menu +when submenu unposted. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +2/16/95 (feature removal) Removed "snap back" behavior (slider +snaps back to old position if you move the mouse outside the widet +before releasing the button) from scrollbars and scales. + +2/16/95 (bug fix) The last line of a listbox wasn't being displayed if +it was only partially visible. + +2/16/95 (new features) Added support for "-resolution 0" (no rounding +of values) to scale widgets, plus smarter computation of how many digits +to display. + +2/17/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug in text bindings for things like Shift-Left: +didn't properly set the anchor position. + +2/20/95 (bug fix) Changed management of COLORMAP_WINDOWS property to +add the toplevel implicitly to the end of the list if it wasn't already +on the list somewhere. Without this, some window managers implicitly +put it at the front of the list, so that colormaps in internal windows +are never used. + +2/20/95 (bug fix) Changed to use separate command procedures for +button, checkbutton, label, and radiobutton commands. This allows the +class commands to be renamed without breaking their behavior. + +2/20/95 (removed feature) The "bind" command no longer supports +"Keymap" events; they never worked anyway. + +2/20/95 (bug fix) The text "search" widget command looped infinitely +when searching an empty text. + +2/20/95 (bug fix) Canvases weren't redrawing their borders after +configuration changes. + +2/20/95 (upgrade) Changed to use autoconf version 2.2. + +2/21/95 (bug fix) Fixed several bug fixes in menu bindings that occur +when menus have no entries. + +2/21/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug in geometry management that caused windows +packed -in siblings to not always be mapped and unmapped properly +(particularly when the toplevel got unmapped and mapped). + +2/22/95 (bug fix) Fixed resource leak problem in tkTextDisp.c that +caused embedded windows not to be unmapped when off-screen. + +2/23/95 (bug fix) "After cancel" dumped core when the script for an +after event cancelled itself. + +2/24/95 (bug fix) Text and entry widgets weren't properly ignoring +Alt-, Control-, and Meta- keystrokes, so a widget-specific binding +for one of these resulted in the character also being inserted. + +2/24/95 (bug fix) Several widgets accidentally performed unsigned +division on negative numbers, thereby losing the sign bit. This +mostly affected the display of images and bitmaps in buttons, +menubuttons, and messages. + +2/24/95 (feature reversal) Restored old behavior of %A so that it +returns non-printing characters as well as printing ones now. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY with Tk 4.0b2, but not with Tk 3.6 *** + +2/24/95 (bug fix) Duplicate "leave" events could occur for canvas +items under some conditions, due to recursive calls to PickCurrentItem. +Added code to detect and skip the nested calls. + +2/24/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug where an error could occur during the first +keystroke in an application if its binding invoked "break". + +2/25/95 (new feature) Modified syntax of "search" widget command for +texts. The -nowrap switch and the "variable" final argument are no +longer supported. Instead, there is a -count switch to replace +the final argument; if the final argument is specified, it is now +a stopping index for the search. The features of -nowrap can be +achieved now with the stopping index. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY with Tk 4.0b2, but not with Tk 3.6 *** + +2/27/95 (bug fix) Fixed problem that appears to prevent keyboard +input for working under IRIX: tkBind.c was ignoring XmbLookupString +calls that returned a status of XLookupBoth. + +2/27/95 (new feature) Added Tk_GetItemTypes procedure to return +information about available canvas item types. + +2/27/95 (feature change) Changed Makefile to always use install-sh +for installations: there's just too much variation among "install" +system programs, which makes installation flakey. + +2/27/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkSend.c that caused core dumps if +the app's main window was destroyed by a destroy handler on a +child. + +3/5/95 (feature change) Change separator character used in "bind +..." +bindings from semi-colon to newline (permits bindings that are +comments, for what that's worth). + +3/7/95 (bug fix/feature change) Overhauled focus code, both in C +and in Tcl: + - Tk won't move the X focus in response to the "focus" command + unless either the application already has the focus or the + -force switch is specified. + - Tk no longer sets the X focus to anything other than top-levels; + it synthesizes events for FocusIn and FocusOut to children. + - A window no longer has to be viewable when focussed to; Tk will + set the X focus later, when the window becomes viewable. + - Added -takefocus option to all widgets. + - Rewrote tk_focusPrev and tk_focusNext to use the -takefocus option. + These procedures no longer set the focus; they just return the + next window in focus order. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY with Tk 4.0b2, but not with Tk 3.6 *** + - Eliminated tk_focusContinue. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY with Tk 4.0b2, but not with Tk 3.6 *** + +3/8/95 (new feature, bug fix) Added support for tk_strictMotif variable +in C: Tk_StrictMotif library procedure. Modified buttons, menubuttons, +menus to use it. This fixes the problem with menus not supporting +tk_strictMotif properly in Tk4.0b1 and b2. + +3/16/95 (feature overhaul) Overhauled color management: + - Changed Tk so it never denies a color request because a colormap + filled up. Instead, it allocates the closest available color. + - Eliminated "color model" mechanism. The "tk colormodel" command + is gone, as are the procedures Tk_GetColorModel and Tk_SetColorModel. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - Changed 3D border implementation to allocate colors for shadows + lazily, so they're never allocated if they're never used. Also + added new feature whereby stippling is used for borders when + the colormap has run out of entries. Changed arguments to many + of Tk_3D C procedures to take a Tk_Window as argument instead of + a (Display *). This is needed to do lazy color allocation. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + - Eliminated colormap argument to Tk_GetColor, Tk_GetColorByValue, + and Tk_Get3DBorder. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +3/16/95 (feature change) Event bindings created from Tcl will now ignore +Enter, Leave, FocusIn, and FocusOut events with detail NotifyInferior. +This is done in anticipation of mega-widgets, so that the user of a +mega-widget can create Enter/Leave bindings on the mega-widget without +seeing spurious events as the mouse moves among the windows in the +mega-widget. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +3/17/95 (feature change) Changed C interfaces throughout Tk to use ints +instead of unsigneds: the unsigneds turn out to cause subtle problems +with arithmetic in some places, and using ints everywhere is just +simpler. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +3/23/95 (bug fix) Selections longer than 4000 bytes were being +truncated to 4000 bytes. + +-------------------- Release 4.0b3, 3/24/95 ------------------------- + +3/25/95 (bug fix) Changed "install" to "./install" in Makefile so that +"make install" will work even when "." isn't in the search path. + +3/25/95 (bug fix) Modified Tk's selection mechanism to prevent core +dumps in other applications during retrievals of large selections +(this is actually a bug in the other apps, but I've patched Tk to +keep it from getting triggered). + +3/25/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug where X window for "." wasn't being +deleted. + +3/27/95 (bug fix) Fixed many bugs associated with having more than +one application in a single process. + +3/28/95 (bug fix) The "search" widget command for texts didn't +return the correct index and count if there were embedded widgets +on the same line as the returned range but before the end of +the range. + +3/28/95 (bug fix) Changed pasting via button 2 in text and entries +so that it inserts at the pointer location, not the location of +the insertion cursor. + +3/28/95 (bug fix) Fixed several bugs related to bindings +that delete ancestors in the window hierarchy. Also eliminated +extraneous calls to XDestroyWindow, which speeds up window deletion +by about 3x. + +3/28/95 (bug fix) Several widgets (buttons, menubuttons, menus) didn't +properly handle image deletions that occurred while the widget was +being deleted (caused core dumps). + +3/29/95 (bug fix) When retrieving long selections from text widgets, +parts of lines were getting duplicated in the selection information. + +4/1/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug that caused infinite loop in horizontal +scales with 0 range. + +4/1/95 (bug fix) Fixed problem with -command option for scrollbars and +-takefocus option that caused commands to be evaluated in the wrong +context. + +4/1/95 (bug fix) Fixed problem with option database that caused it to +sometimes use the wrong option (wasn't flushing the database properly +after a change in a window's class). + +4/1/95 (bug fix) If a line in a text widget just barely fit in the window, +Tk was allocating a second screen line just for the newline character. + +4/1/95 (new feature) When backspacing in an entry widget, when you reach +the left edge of the widget, the insertion cursor gets recentered. + +4/1/95 (new features) Added "winfo pointerx" and "winfo pointery" commands +to fetch the current pointer position. + +4/6/95 (bug fix) If the last line of a text widget was only partially +visible, it was counted as visible for purposes of the scrollbar. Now +it is treated as if it were off-screen for scrolling purposes. + +4/6/95 (new feature) Modified "bell" command to reset screen saver as well. + +4/6/95 (feature change) Modified menu scanning (where menus pull down +as you drag across their menubuttons) so it only works among menus +in the same toplevel; it used to work for any menubuttons in the +application. + +4/6/95 (bug fix) Canvas text items weren't allowing real numbers in +"@x,y" notation for specifying indices. + +4/7/95 (bug fix) Menus didn't display correctly when -activeborderwidth +was large. + +4/7/95 (bug fix) Changed "clipboard append" command to support -- option +and to always treat the last argument as data, even if it starts with +"-". + +4/17/95 (new feature) Added -wrap option to text tags. + +4/18/95 (bug fix) Listboxes and texts weren't updating their grid information +when -width or -height changed. + +4/18/95 (bug fix) "Down" didn't work right in text widgets if the last +line was only partially visible in the window. + +4/19/95 (bug fix) Listboxes didn't handle partially visible last lines +right: couldn't scroll it into full visibility, for example. + +4/20/95 (bug fix) If a toplevel was positioned with a command like +"wm geometry . -0-0", the window didn't reposition itself to maintain +that geometry after a size change. + +4/21/95 (feature change) Changed order of binding tags so widget bindings +fire before class bindings. New order is: widget, class, toplevel, all. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY with Tk 4.0b3, but not with Tk 3.6 *** + +4/23/95 (new feature) Added "winfo colormapfull" command. + +4/23/95 (new feature) Buttons and radiobuttons and checkbuttons now +treat Return the same as Space, unless tk_strictMotif is set. + +4/23/95 (bug fix) Modified menu tear-off procedure to duplicate the +binding tags and bindings of the original in the copy. + +4/25/95 (bug fix and feature change) Modified mechanism for choosing +"best" visual to fix a bug where depth wasn't really getting highest +priority in all situations. + +4/28/95 (bug fix) Failed text searches starting at "end" could result +in an infinite loop in Tk. + +4/30/95 (new feature) Added "wm resizable" command to enable and +disable interactive resizing. + +4/30/95 (new feature) Added "window names" widget command to texts: +returns a list of all embedded windows. + +5/2/95 (feature change) Changed text searches so that forward searches +start at the given index, rather than the character just after the +given index. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY with Tk 4.0b3, but not with Tk 3.6 *** + +5/4/95 (bug fix) Default bit gravity for windows was wrong (it was +ForgetGravity) causing unnecessary flashing when windows were resized. + +5/4/95 (feature change) Modified Tk_DoOneEvent so that it doesn't +sleep if there's nothing that will wake it up again (e.g. no file +or timer handlers). Returns 0 immediately. + +5/5/95 (configuration change) Changed to use BSDgettimeofday instead +of gettimeofday on systems like IRIX where BSDgettimeofday is +available. This avoids compilation problems due to the different +interface to gettimeofday provided by IRIX. + +5/5/95 (feature change) Changed binding mechanism so that all bindings +are created immediately at initialization time, rather than waiting +until the first FocusIn or Enter event for a class. + +5/6/95 (feature change) Changed default text for labels, buttons, +checkbuttons, radiobuttons, menubuttons, and messages from " " to +"". + +5/6/95 (bug fix) If the application was destroyed in the middle of +an "update" command, Tk would dump core. + +5/6/95 (bug fix) Changed manual entries to use the standard .TH +macro instead of a custom .HS macro; the .HS macro confuses index +generators like makewhatis. + +5/6/95 (bug fix) Change "wm iconwindow" command to disable button +presses for the icon window. This is needed so that the window +manager can get those events (X only allows button presses to go +to one client for a given window). + +5/9/95 (new feature) When specifying visuals, can now use "best" +with a depth, e.g. "-visual {best 8}" to get the best 8-bit visual. + +5/18/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug with -spacing* options for text widget: +screen distances weren't allowed, only integers. + +5/20/95 (bug fix) Eliminated memory leaks in tkTextDisp.c and elsewhere. + +5/22/95 (color change) Changed the Tk color palette to a gray scheme. +Also added a library procedure tk_setPalette that makes it easy to +change colors on the fly, and a procedure tk_bisque that restores the +previous light brown scheme. + +5/28/95 (bug fix) Modified canvases so that the -width and -height +options refer to the space inside the borders, not the total widget +space. Also changed "xview" and "yview" commands and scroll-increment +rounding to use the pixel just inside the borders, rather than (0,0). + +5/28/95 (bug fix) Several widgets (e.g. entries, buttons, and menus) +didn't properly handle unsets of variables they were tracing, if the +variables were reference through upvars in procedures. + +6/4/95 (bug fix) The placer wasn't rounding window widths right when +both -relx and -relwidth were specified (or -rely and -relheight) so +that rounding errors accumulated. + +6/4/95 (feature improvement) Change parsing of text indices to handle +weird mark and tag names better (e.g. any string ending with ".first" +will now be parsed as a tag name, even if it contains embedded spaces, +etc.). + +6/4/95 (feature change) If a font defines glyphs for control characters, +they are now displayed, instead of translating the character to a +backslash sequence (however, tabs and newlines are still treated +specially; glyphs are not displayed for these characters). + +6/4/95 (bug fix) Modify the implementation of "raise" and "lower" for +toplevels so that it now works under olwm and olvwm. It didn't use to +work, and the problem is really in the window manager, but Tk now +patches around it. However, only "total" raises and lowers work: +raising and lowering relative to a sibling still don't work under +olvwm and olwm. + +6/4/95 (feature change) Modified tab code in texts so that a tab always +occupies at least as much space as a space character. + +6/4/95 (bug fix) The "%t" substitution wasn't being made properly in +Enter and Leave event bindings. + +6/7/95 (new feature) Added support for GIF images. Unfortunately it's +a bit fragile: certain kinds of badly formed images can cause core +dumps; I don't know enough about the GIF reader (taken from giftoppm) +to figure this out. + +6/7/95 (bug fix and feature change) Fixed PPM image reader to be more +flexible about header formats, and added support for PGM images. + +6/7/95 (feature change) Added -outlinestipple option to canvas arc +items, changed "-style arc" to use -outline as the color instead of +-fill (the old approach was pretty quirky). +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +6/8/95 (feature change) Modified interface to Tk_Main to pass in the +address of the application-specific initialization procedure. +Tcl_AppInit is no longer hardwired into Tk_Main. This is needed +in order to make Tcl a shared library. + +6/8/95 (feature change) Modified Makefile so that the installed versions +of wish and libtk.a have version number in them (e.g. wish4.0 and +libtk4.0.a) and the library directory name also has an embedded version +number (e.g., /usr/local/lib/tk4.0). This should make it easier for +Tk 4.0 to coexist with earlier versions. + +6/9/95 (new feature) Added -outline and -width options to canvas polygon +items. + +6/9/95 (feature changed) Renamed -decimate in photo widget to -subsample +(decimate wasn't technically correct). +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY with Tk 4.0b3, but not with Tk 3.6 *** + +-------------------- Release 4.0b4, 6/16/95 ------------------------- + +6/19/95 (bug fix) Colors weren't being rounded correctly in canvas +Postscript generation: caused "white" to appear slightly gray when +the display of the canvas used only 8 bits per color. + +6/20/95 (bug fix) "bbox" widget command for texts didn't return +proper width for tabs. + +6/20/95 (bug fix) Scrollbars didn't always work right for texts: +couldn't scroll all the way to the bottom of the text in a single +drag of the slider. + +6/20/95 (new feature) Added "delta" widget command for scrollbars +(needed for above bug fix). + +6/23/95 (bug fix) Listboxes weren't properly redisplaying their +borders when the were configured to a smaller size. + +6/23/95 (new feature) Added "winfo server" command. + +6/23/95 (bug fix) If a menu was posted, couldn't switch to another +menu with an Alt- key. + +6/24/95 (new feature) Added "winfo pointerxy" command. + +6/25/95 (bug fix) Tk_ParseArgv referenced beyond the end of 0-length +option names. + +6/25/95 (bug fix) Fixed problem in tkOption.c where "cachedWindow" +could get garbage in it if the main window's class was changed by +calling Tk_SetClass. + +6/25/95 (bug fix) Fixed two bugs in menus, one where errors in +variable traces weren't propagated correctly and one where "invoke" +was invoked at the wrong stack level, with the result that variable +traces didn't have access to the right variables. + +6/27/95 (bug fix) tk3d.c wasn't using all the right information +when deciding whether or not to stipple borders, so it stippled +borders even on 16-bit true-color displays. + +6/28/95 (bug fix) Page up and down operations in texts could cause +insertion cursor to drift to the right. Changed tkTextScrollPages +to use upper-left corner of current character, rather than center +of character. + +6/28/95 (bug fix) Changed text widget so that you can't put the +insertion cursor after the last newline in the text. + +6/28/95 (bug fix) Bitmap images didn't allow ~'s in file names. + +6/28/95 (bug fix) Fixed problem that could cause core dumps in the +text widget when dealing with embedded windows (there were problems +if the act of redisplaying caused the window layout to change, which +can happen with embedded windows). + +6/28/95 (bug fix) Texts didn't handle indices with double negatives, +such as ".t mark set insert {insert + -20 chars}". + +6/28/95 (bug fix) Fixed problem where focus didn't always revert to +its prior window after a dialog box was dismissed. + +6/28/95 (bug fix) Fixed problem with "search" widget command returning +incorrect length on some backwards regexp searches. + +6/28/95 (bug fix) Successive "wm iconbitmap . {}" commands could cause +a core dump. + +6/29/95 (new feature) Added -elementborderwidth option for scrollbars +so the -borderwidth can be set to 0 without flattening the arrows and +slider. + +-------------------- Release 4.0, 7/1/95 ------------------------- + +7/18/95 (bug fix) %t in event bindings didn't work properly for some +events (e.g. PropertyNotify). + +7/18/95 (bug fix) Changed "exec wish" lines in demo scripts to +"exec wish4.0" to avoid version conflicts. + +7/18/95 (bug fix) Fixed round-off errors in scrolling for texts, +canvases, listboxes, and entries. The error could cause the view +to shift up in a command like "$w yview moveto [lindex [$w yview] 0]". + +7/19/95 (bug fix) Canvases weren't always redrawing borders correctly +when they became unobscured. There were also some problems with +improper refresh after size changes. + +7/19/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug in text index processing that causes +tests textIndex-11.1 and textIndex12.1 to fail on some platforms. + +7/19/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug where 2-second delays were ocurring during +"raise" and "lower" commands for toplevel windows under some window +managers (such as fvwm). + +7/20/95 (bug fix) Text searches were misbehaving when there were embedded +windows on the starting line of the search. The most common symptom is +that Tk would fail to find a match at the starting position for the +search. + +7/22/95 (bug fix) Fixed core dump that could occur in menus if a checkbutton +entry's -variable option referred to an array (or couldn't be read +by the menu C code for some other reason). + +7/22/95 (bug fix) Text widgets didn't update their scrollbars when +changes were made to information that was off-screen. + +7/25/95 (bug fix) Fixed core-dump in tkListbox.c that used to happen +in the command ".l bbox end" if the listbox was empty. + +7/25/95 (bug fix) Page-up and page-down bindings for listboxes didn't +move active element to remain on the screen. + +7/25/95 (bug fix) Patched around H-P compiler problem that results in +core-dumps in tkImgPhoto.c during image handling. + +7/25/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkImgPhoto.c that caused core dumps +(during Tk self-tests and other image uses) on AIX and other machines +where "schar" in tkImgPhoto.c was being defined as "short" instead of +"char". + +7/26/95 (bug fix) The PPM image reader couldn't handle maximum intensity +values other than 255. + +7/26/95 (bug fix) Canvases didn't redraw their borders when the relief +changed from raised to flat. + +7/27/95 (bug fix) Canvases didn't set the scrolling values correctly +when no scroll region was specified. + +7/28/95 (bug fix) Modified menu and tk_dialog scripts to restore any +old grab that might have been in effect before a menu or dialog was +posted. + +----------------- Released patch 4.0p1, 7/29/95 ---------------------- + +8/4/95 (bug fix) Calls to toupper and tolower weren't using the UCHAR +macro, so they didn't always work in non-U.S. locales. (JO) + +8/14/95 (new feature) Added -tearoffcommand option for menus. + +8/16/95 (bug fix) Canvases didn't generate proper Enter and Leave +events if the Leave handler for an item reconfigured the canvas in +a way that made the old current item the new current item again. (JO) + +8/21/95 (bug fix/feature change) When -takefocus was a script, Tk +was allowing window viewability to override it. Changed so that +viewability is now ignored when -takefocus is a script. (JO) + +8/21/95 (bug fixes) Fixed memory leaks in tkSend.c, tkSelect.c, and +tkUnixWm.c (JO). + +8/21/95 (bug fix) Text widgets didn't handle commands like +".t search -backwards foo end 1.0" properly: never found foo. (JO) + +8/23/95 (new feature) Added Makefile and configure.in support for +dynamic loading. (JO) + +8/25/95 (bug fix) The "frame" and "toplevel" commands couldn't safely +be renamed, due to a kludgy way that they shared a single command +procedure. Split into separate procedures. (JO) + +8/25/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug in libary/menu.tcl that caused "grab +window not visible" errors for popup menus (and perhaps elsewhere?). (JO) + +8/25/95 (bug fix / new feature) The "gray25" bitmap was really only +12.5% on, not 25%. Added new "gray12" bitmap that is the same as the +old "gray25". "Gray25" is still supported for compatibility, but its +use is deprecated. (JO) + +8/25/95 (bug fix) Scrollbar bindings didn't properly handle case where +B2 is clicked while B1 is already down. (JO) + +8/26/95 (bug fix) Menus were ignoring -activebackground if tk_strictMotif +was set, but not -activeforeground. Changed to ignore both. (JO) + +8/26/95 (bug fix) Scales and scrollbars didn't properly handle a +-repeatdelay value of 0 (they shouldn't auto-repeat in this case). (JO) + +8/28/95 (bug fix) Tcl errors were occurring for tkPriv(oldGrab) when +clicking on a disabled option menu. (JO) + +8/28/95 (bug fix) Changed event-handling code to use FD_SETSIZE instead +of OPEN_MAX, since OPEN_MAX is incorrect on some systems (e.g., IRIX). (JO) + +8/28/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug in photo images that caused garbling of +image data in the "put" and "copy" commands if the source data had +only one scan line but had a width less than the width of the target +image. (JO) + +8/29/95 (bug fix) Tk used to refuse to post menus if they had no +entries. This made it impossible for a menu to fill itself the first +time it is posted. Changed to allow menus with no entries to be +posted. (JO) + +8/30/95 (bug fix) If there was extra space at the bottom of a menu, +it wasn't being redisplayed properly. + +8/30/95 (new feature) Added -transient option to menus. + +8/30/95 (new features) Added proper button 2 support to both scrollbars +and scales (it sets the slider position from the mouse position). (JO) + +8/30/95 (bug fix) Fixed potential core dump that could occur in +photo images (ReadPPMFileHeader could overflow buffer under some bad +inputs, such as certain GIF images). (JO) + +8/30/95 (bug fix) Errors of the form `syntax error in expression "!"' +could occasionally happen in tkScaleDrag. (JO) + +8/31/95 (new feature) Changed man page installation (with "mkLinks" +script) to create additional links for manual pages corresponding to +each of the procedure and command names described in the pages. (JO) + +9/1/95 (new feature) Added "after info" command. Also added checks +so that one interpreter can't cancel another's "after" events. (JO) + +9/8/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug that could cause memory corruption and core +dumps if a "fileevent" handler was deleted while the handler was +active. (JO) + +9/11/95 Reorganized Tk sources for Windows and Mac ports. All sources +are now in subdirectories: "generic" contains sources that work on all +platforms, "windows", "mac", and "unix" directories contain platform- +specific sources. (SS) + +9/11/95 (new feature) Added new "notifier" mechanism to allow multiple +implementations of the mechanisms for finding out about events. This +change was necessary to support Mac and PC platforms, but it may also +allow other goodies such as combining Xt and Tk widgets in a single +application. See the new manual entry Notifier.3 for details. (SS) + +9/11/95 (feature change) Changed interface to Tk_RestrictProc so that +(a) it takes a clientData argument instead of display and arg, and +(b) it returns a value that can ask for the event to be discarded as well +as deferred or processed. (SS) +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +9/11/95 (new feature) Added TK_WINDOW_EVENTS #define, which is equivalent +to TK_X_EVENTS but is now preferred, since it applies to all platforms. (SS) + +9/11/95 (feature change) Can't export variables anymore because this doesn't +work under Windows DLLs. Eliminated tk_NumMainWindows variable and replaced +with procedure Tk_GetNumMainWindows. (SS) +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +9/11/95 (new feature) Added procedure Tk_PreserveColormap to increment +the reference count on colormaps. Used in photo widgets. (SS) + +----------------- Released patch 4.0p2, 9/15/95 ---------------------- + +----------------- Released 4.1a1, 9/15/95 ---------------------- + +9/22/95 (renamed files) Changed the names of the bitmap images in the +$tk_library/demos/images directory to use the .bmap file extension. (RJ) + +9/22/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug where text widgets could occasionally +display the insertion cursor both at the end of one line and the +beginning of the next. (JO) + +9/25/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug that could cause core dumps when an +application uses multiple screens and a binding destroys the main +window (bind code was using MainInfo structure after it had been +freed). (JO) + +9/25/95 (bug fix) Text widgets sometimes scrolled backwards on +occasion if you dragged down past the bottom of the scrollbar. (JO) + +9/25/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug in menus where a cascaded submenu posted +from a torn-off menu could be left posted if mouse was pulled off the +end of the cascade and released. (JO) + +9/25/95 (new feature) Added "--" switch to wish, so that you can +pass arguments like -n through to a script without having wish +interpret them. (JO) + +9/25/95 (bug fix) Fixed core dump that could occur for radiobuttons +and selectbuttons if -selectcolor was an empty string. (JO) + +9/26/95 (bug fix) Entries didn't used to notice if a trace procedure +on the -textvariable overrode a new value set by the entry. This +could cause the variable to get out of sync with the contents of the +entry. (JO) + +9/26/95 (new feature) Added -sliderrelief option to scales, changed +default bindings to change the slider's relief to sunken while it's +being dragged with the mouse. (JO) + +9/26/95 (bug fix) TkColor.c wasn't computing colormap size correctly; +could result in X Protocol error for QueryColors when colormaps run +out of colors. (JO) + +9/26/95 (bug fix) Wish couldn't handle script files with spaces in +their names. (JO) + +9/27/95 (cosmetic clean-up) Removed extraneous spaces to make error +messages consistent: ": should be" is now ": should be". (JO) + +9/27/95 (feature change) Modified tk_dialog so that it uses the +option database for the -wraplength option on the message. This +allows the option to be overridden by the caller. (JO) + +9/28/95 (bug fix) Wish incorrectly parsed the command line under +Windows, causing backslashes to be substituted. (SS) + +9/28/95 (bug fix) Wish now sources wishrc.tcl instead of .wishrc. (SS) + +9/28/95 (bug fix) Tk_DoOneEvent returned 0 under some circumstances +when it was possible to find more work to do. For example, if a +signal interrupted select(), but no event handlers were triggered, it +would return 0 even though it could still detect events by reentering +select(). (SS) + +9/29/95 (bug fix) "winfo interps" caused a crash under Windows. (SS) + +10/1/95 (feature change) Eliminated Tk_NotifyIdle interface in favor of +Tk_IdlePending. (SS) + +10/1/95 (bug fix) Turned motion event collapsing into an idle handler +so it will be easier to move the event loop into Tcl. (SS) + +10/1/95 (bug fix) Fixed several problems with negative coordinates +in canvases. One example: dragging a canvas rectangle with a wide +border and fractional coordinates could leave junk on the screen +if the rectangle was in negative coordinate space. (JO) + +10/2/95 (bug fix) Tk was improperly handling Enter/Leave events +during a button grab. (SS) + +10/2/95 (new feature) Added support for the Macintosh do script +('dosc') event. Available only on the Macintosh. (RJ) + +10/4/95 (new feature) Added support for compiling with VC++. +Resulting binaries work under Win32s through NT. + +----------------- Released 4.1a2, 10/6/95 ---------------------- + +10/10/95 (new feature) Macintosh Tk now supports the complete set +of X cursors that Unix Tk supports. (RJ) + +10/11/95 (bug fix) Tk now supports all of the X11 cursors under +Windows. (SS) + +10/11/95 (bug fix) The "wm resizable" command was missing from the +Windows version of Tk. (SS) + +10/12/95 (bug fix) Macintosh Tk had problems with clipping toplevel +windows that children of any frame other than another toplevel. (RJ) + +10/13/95 (bug fix) Eliminated dependency on MKS toolkit for generating +the tk.def file from Borland object files. (SS) + +10/16/95 (bug fix) Fixed clipping and update problems relating to +the raising and lowering of overlapping windows on Mac. (RJ) + +10/30/95 (bug fix) When focus-follows-mode (invoked via tk_focusFollowsMouse), +was focussing on windows even in situations where keyboard traversal would +skip the window. Changed to use the tkFocusOK procedure so that the +criteria for focussing are the same in both modes. (JO) + +11/2/95 (bug fix) Changed listbox bindings to ignore double-clicks. +This avoids errors that used to occur if a user defined a binding +for double-click that deleted the listbox. (JO) + +11/3/95 (feature change) Moved most of the Tk event loop to Tcl. Many +Tk_ names have become Tcl names now: + +TK_READABLE => TCL_READABLE +TK_WRITABLE => TCL_WRITABLE +TK_EXCEPTION => TCL_EXCEPTION +TK_DONT_WAIT => TCL_DONT_WAIT +TK_WINDOW_EVENTS => TCL_WINDOW_EVENTS +TK_FILE_EVENTS => TCL_FILE_EVENTS +TK_TIMER_EVENTS => TCL_TIMER_EVENTS +TK_IDLE_EVENTS => TCL_IDLE_EVENTS +TK_ALL_EVENTS => TCL_ALL_EVENTS +Tk_IdleProc => Tcl_IdleProc +Tk_FileProc => Tcl_FileProc +Tk_TimerProc => Tcl_TimerProc +Tk_TimerToken => Tcl_TimerToken +Tk_BackgroundError => Tcl_BackgroundError +Tk_CancelIdleCall => Tcl_CancelIdleCall +Tk_CreateFileHandler => Tcl_CreateFileHandler +Tk_CreateTimerHandler =>Tcl_CreateTimerHandler +Tk_DeleteFileHandler => Tcl_DeleteFileHandler +Tk_DeleteTimerHandler =>Tk_DeleteTimerHandler +Tk_DoOneEvent => Tcl_DoOneEvent +Tk_DoWhenIdle => Tcl_DoWhenIdle +Tk_Sleep => Tcl_Sleep +tkerror => bgerror + +Other than the name changes, the functions are the same. In addition, +there are #defines in tk.h so that the old Tk names will still work. +tkerror and bgerror are specially hacked as synonyms, so it should be +safe to use either one. You should switch to the new Tcl names ASAP, +though, since the old Tk names will eventually be desupported. (JO) + +11/7/95 (features removed) As part of moving the event loop to Tcl, +the following procedures were deleted: + - Tk_EventInit (the presence of the event loop in Tcl should + make this unneccessary). + - Tk_CreatFileHandler2 (you can get the same effect by using event + sources in Tcl, but you have to modify your code to use the new + Tcl APIs). + - All of the stuff in the manual entries Notifer.3 and QueueEvent.3; + this has changed because the notifier got reworked when it was + moved to Tcl. +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +11/7/95 (feature change) Changed to use exit handler to cleanup windows +in Tk, so Tk no longer needs to have a private copy of the "exit" command. +(JO) + +11/7/95 (bug fix) If wish was invoked with a command-line geometry and +a script file (e.g. "wish foo.tcl -geometry 30x20"), and if one of +the windows created by the script used the -setgrid option, then the +width and height from the command line were lost. (JO) + +11/8/95 (bug fix) The "see" command didn't work quite right for texts: +if the window was small and you try to "see" a line just offscreen, +Tk centered the line (actually, mis-centered it) when it should have +aligned it at the top or bottom. (JO) + +11/9/95 (bug fix) The "send" command crashed if you tried to send to +a different display with "-displayof". (JO) + +11/9/95 (bug fix) The Symbol font didn't print right in Postscript +output, because of changes made to re-encode fonts to get proper +ISO Latin1 behavior. Changed the code not to re-encode the Symbol +font. (JO) + +11/13/95 (bug fix) Fixed Makefile.in and configure.in for UNIX so that +configure can be run from a clean directory separate from the Tcl source +tree, and compilations can be performed there. (JO) + +11/17/95 (bug fix) If a window was gridded, Tk still computed the +default maximum dimensions in pixel units, which resulted in windows +that could grow much larger than the screen. (JO) + +11/17/95 (bug fix) If a menus entries were all disabled, posting +the menu and typing Up or Down caused an infinite loop, locking +up the screen (JO). + +11/19/95 (bug fix) The focus wasn't being restored properly after a +menu selection in a cascaded menu. (JO) + +11/19/95 (bug fix) Menubutton's didn't stipple display their images +differently when disabled. Change to have the same behavior as buttons: +the image is stippled over in the background color when the menubutton +is disabled. (JO) + +11/21/95 (bug fix) Changes in display attributes such as font could +cause core dumps in the text widget under some circumstances involving +line wrapping. (JO) + +11/22/95 (bug fix/new feature) Changed both the placer and the packer +to ensure that slaves are unmapped whenever the master is unmapped. +This saves time that slaves might otherwise spend trying to redisplay +themselves when they're unmapped. (JO) + +11/22/95 (bug fix) Space and return keys didn't work for menus if +they were posted via Alt-x keystrokes. (JO) + +11/24/95 (bug fix) tk_dialog procedure had binding for that +always activated default binding, even if input focus was in some +other binding. Removed this feature, since existing focus support +will already "do the right thing". (JO) + +11/24/95 (bug fix) Both canvases and texts could dump core if a binding +(such as ButtonRelease on an internal item) deleted the widget. (JO) + +11/24/95 (feature change) Replaced "configInfo" file with tkConfig.sh, +which is more complete and uses slightly different names. Also +arranged for tkConfig.sh to be installed in the platform-specific +library directory. (JO) + +11/24/95 (bug fix) It was possible for a slave to be placed or packed +-in itself, with unpleasant consequences. It is now an error for the +slave to be its own master for geometry management. (JO) + +11/25/95 (bug fix) The -command option of scales was sometimes being +invoked spuriously (e.g. when the mouse moved in the scale without a +button down). This was because the scale wasn't rounding properly +when setting the scale value from its associated variable. (JO) + +----------------- Released patch 4.0p3, 11/28/95 ---------------------- + +12/18/95 (feature change) Moved Tk_Preserve, Tk_Release, and +Tk_EventuallyFree to Tcl, renamed to Tcl_Preserve etc. Added #defines +to tk.h so that the old names still work. (JO) + +12/23/95 (bug fix) If a single process had > 1 Tk application, Tk +didn't guarantee that the application names were unique, which could +cause all sorts of confusion with "send". (JO) + +12/23/95 (feature change) Eliminated Tk_CreateMainWindow and moved +all of its functionality to Tk_Init. All that you need to do now +to get Tk in an application is to call Tk_Init. Improved Tk_Init +so that -colormap and -visual command-line arguments are now passed +through to TkCreateFrame. Tk_Main is much simpler now, since a lot +of its functionality has moved to Tk_Init. (JO) +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +12/23/95 (new feature) Added support for Tcl_StaticPackage so +that Tk can now be loaded into slave interpreters with the "load" +command to create new applications. (JO) + +12/23/95 (new features) Added support for -colormap and -visual command- +line options for wish. (JO) + +1/4/95 (bug fix) Fixed keyboard code to properly handle alt-key +sequences for international keyboards and menu-accelerators. (SS) + +1/5/96 (bug fix) Scrollbar code sometimes generated errors on accesses +to tkPriv(relief) during control-clicks. (JO) + +1/9/96 (new feature) added the "grid" command to provide a table based +geometry manager. (SU) + +1/12/96 (performance optimization) Changed the way tag information is kept +in the text's Btree so the cost of adding and removing tag ranges is no longer +proportional to the number of unique tags in the text. In the old system +the cost of adding N unique tags was O(N-squared). The new implementation is +optimized for tags that only cover a small amount of text, measuring from +their earliest tag range to the end of their last range. In the best case the +cost of adding a tag range is unrelated to the number of unique tags, so the +cost of adding N tags is only O(N). In the worst case, where all tags +cover all the text, the cost is still O(N-squared) to add N such tags. +Deleting tags still has an O(N) cost (so deleting N tags is O(N-squared), +but it is now a factor of 2 faster than the old system. (BW) + +1/12/96 (new feature) added the text "dump" operation that returns information +about all elements in a text widget: text, tags, marks, and windows. (BW) + +1/12/96 (new feature) added the text "mark next" and "mark previous" operations +to search forward and backwards for the next (previous) mark in the text. (BW) + +1/12/96 (new feature) added the text "tag prevrange" operation to search +backwards for the current or previous range of a tag. (BW) + +1/16/96 (new feature) Added support for relative widget placement on +the "grid" command. (SU) + +1/17/96 (new feature) Modified the Makefile/configure setup to support +compiling Tk as a shared library. Use the --enable-shared option to +the "configure" script. (JO) + +----------------- Released 4.1b1, 1/26/96 ----------------------- + +2/2/96 (bug fix) Frames were getting a default size of 200x200, whereas +there should be no default. (JO) + +2/2/96 (bug fix) Argc wasn't getting reset properly after Tk removed +the arguments it understood from those on the command line. (JO) + +2/6/96 (bug fix) Fixed off by one error in argument parsing code under +Windows. (SS) + +2/6/96 (bug fix) "wm transient" now works under Windows. The resulting +toplevel is created with a modal dialog box frame and will not appear +in the taskbar under Windows '95. (SS) + +2/9/96 (bug fix) Changed Makefile.in to use -L and -l for Tcl and Tk +libraries so that shared libraries are more likely to be found correctly +on more platforms. (JO) + +2/14/96 (feature change) Eliminated tk_CanvasTagsOption variable because +it can't be exported safely across DLL boundaries. Instead, exported +Tk_CanvasTagsParseProc and Tk_CanvasTagsPrintProc procedures for +use by canvas type managers in creating their own custom options. (JO) +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +2/14/96 (bug fix) "winfo pointerxy" when applied to a non-toplevel window +crashed wish. (SS) + +2/14/96 (bug fix) "tkwait visibility" would hang under Windows. (SS) + +2/14/96 (bug fix) Cursors were not being updated until an enter event. +In cases where the cursor left the toplevel and reentered before Tk +noticed, the cursor would get "stuck" until the next enter event. +Similarly, if the cursor attribute of a window was updated while the +mouse was in the window, the cursor would not change until the next +time the mouse entered the window. (SS) + +2/15/96 (bug fix) If a top-level was resizable in one direction +(e.g. "wm resizable . 0 1"), once the user resized it any changes +in the internally requested size (by the widgets) were ignored, +even for the non-resizable dimension. Fixed to handle the two +dimensions totally independently, so the widget's requests are +honored as long as that dimension hasn't been set by the user. (JO) + +2/17/96 (bug fix) If a text widget had very long lines (e.g. more than +32K pixels), integer overflow could occur, resulting in parts of the +line not being visible. (JO) + +2/20/96 (feature change) Changed the -minsize option of grid to take +screen units instead of pixels. (SU) + +2/20/96 (bug fix) grid row and column weights are compared against +MINWEIGHT (0.001) instead of 0.0 to guard against divide by zero errors +during weight normalization. (SU) + +2/20/96 (bug fix) Menu commands were not being invoked sometimes. +There was a race condition that caused events to be processed while a +menu was being unposted. (SS) + +----------------- Released 4.1b2, 2/23/96 ----------------------- + +2/23/96 (bug fix) Alt-keys invoked in torn-off and popped up menus +caused menus to be posted in the parent toplevel. (JO) + +2/23/96 (bug fix) Canvases weren't always updating their scrollbars +when they should. (JO) + +2/23/96 (bug fix) Fixed core dump that could occur if a WM_DELETE_PROTOCOL +handler generated an error. (JO) + +2/24/96 (bug fix) Removed dependencies on Makefile in the UNIX Makefile: +this caused problems on some platforms (like Linux?). (JO) + +2/24/96 (feature change) Changed text and entry widgets so that they +set the insertion cursor before inserting during a button-2 click. +Also made optional bindings check for tk_strictMotif at the time of +the event, rather than at the time the bindings are created. (JO) + +2/24/96 (bug fix) Tk tended to crash with an X error when unsetting +an icon window (e.g. "wm iconwindow . {}"). (JO) + +2/25/96 (bug fix) Wasn't removing windows from the WM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS +property when they were deleted. (JO) + +3/1/96 (new feature) Added new "bbox" widget command for entries. +Also modified mouse bindings for entries and texts so that the +mouse position rounds to the nearest inter-character gap, rather +than the left edge of the character under the mouse. This provides +more natural selection behavior. (JO) + +3/1/96 (bug fix) Fixed core dump that could occur in image code if an +image was deleted while in use in a widet, then re-used in another +widget while "deleted". (JO) + +3/1/96 (bug fix) Calling wish with a single argument caused a crash +under Windows due to an off-by-one error in the argument parsing code. (SS) + +3/1/96 (bug fix) Palette management was broken and resulted in +incorrect palette realization and refresh behavior. Also, images were +being drawn incorrectly if they were attached to widgets that had a +private colormap. (SS) + +3/2/96 (bug fix) It was possible to press the mouse button over an +option menu, drag to a pulldown menu, and have the pulldown menu +popup in place of the option menu. Fixed this so that option menus +are isolated from each other and from pulldowns. (JO) + +3/2/96 (bug fix) Fixed yet another bug that caused long delays when +raising toplevel windows. (JO) + +3/2/96 (bug fix) Fixed bug in canvases where zero-sized rectangles +and ovals didn't always redisplay right (could leave trailing +garbage on screen when moved). (JO) + +3/2/96 (bug fix) Entry widgets reset their insertion cursor, selection, +and view whenever the text variable changed, plus whenever a "configure" +widget command was invoked and there was a text variable for the +widget. Fixed to preserve this information as much as possible. (JO) + +3/5/96 (new feature) Added version suffix to shared library names so that +Tk will compile under NetBSD and FreeBSD (I hope). (JO) + +3/6/96 (bug fix) Changed the way certain configure & motion events are +reported. This fixes several bugs in menus & "winfo rootx". (RJ) + +3/7/96 (bug fix) Fixed tag remove bug that showed up when draging out a +selection. If you had dragged left, then tried to drag back right, the +left edge of the selection wasn't being updated because the tag remove +wasn't doing anything. (BW) + +3/7/96 (bug fix) Fixed the boundary conditions of tag prevrange. The second +index argument wasn't effecting in stopping the search if it fell within +a range. The second index has to come at or before the start of a range +for the range to be found by tag prevrange. (BW) + +3/7/96 (bug fix) "puts" to stdout or stderr when running from a script +caused wish41.exe to exit silently. Now the output is silently +discarded without generating an error. (SS) + +3/7/96 (bug fix) Fixed bug where wish was treating empty lines in the input +as end of input, if the input came from stdin. This would cause it to +complain about missing closing braces etc. (JL) + +----------------- Released 4.1b3, 3/8/96 ----------------------- + +3/9/96 (bug fix) Fixed bug in text.tcl that could cause errors in text +widgets of the form 'can't use non-numeric string as operand of "-"'. (JO) + +3/12/96 (feature improvement) Modified startup script to look in several +different places for the Tcl library directory. This should allow tk +to find the libraries under all but the weirdest conditions, even without +the TK_LIBRARY environment variable being set. (JO) + +3/14/96 (bug fix) "wish bogus_file_name" didn't print an error message. (JO) + +3/14/96 (bug fix) Button-2 wasn't claiming the focus during paste +operations. (JO) + +3/14/96 (bug fix) "tkwait visibility" use to hang forever if its window +was deleted. Now it detects this condition and returns an error. (JO) + +3/16/96 (bug fix) Changed configuration stuff to get dynamic loading and +shared libraries working under AIX. (JO) + +3/16/96 (bug fix) Fixed core dumps that could occur when a slave interpreter +was deleted in the middle of executin bindings. (JO) + +3/18/96 (new feature) Added support for Activate/Deactivate events. +Currently, these new X events will generated only on the Macintosh. (RJ/CS) + +3/21/96 (bug fix) The "tag prevrange" command would fail to return the current +range if it began at 1.0 and the starting point of the search was within +the range. (BW) + +3/21/96 (configuration improvement) Changed configure script so it +doesn't use version numbers (as in -ltk4.1 and libtk4.1.so) under +SunOS 4.1, where they don't work anyway. (JO) + +3/22/96 (bug fix) Made Tk more robust against interpreter deletion. Now it +should be safe to delete an interpreter with a Tk application inside it, +without first deleting the Tk application. (JL) + +3/26/96 (bug fix) Tk now returns results from a "send" to an interpreter +in which the Tk application is destroyed, if the interpreter continues +computing after the Tk application is destroyed. Previously any results +computed after '.' was destroyed in the target interpreter were discarded +by the "send". (JL) + +3/26/96 (new feature) Tk now provides a static Tktest package which is +present only in test versions of Tk; this allows the testing commands to +be loaded into new interpreters besides the main one. (JL) + +3/28/96 (bug fix) Changed the tk_dialog procedure *not* to make the +dialog a transient for its parent. The old behavior meant that the +dialog did not get posted if the parent was iconified. (JO) + +4/5/96 (bug fix) Tk would occasionally crash when destroying toplevels +under Windows. (SS) + +4/5/96 (bug fix) Fonts were not being properly deallocated, causing +GDI resources to be consumed and never released under Windows. (SS) + +4/11/96 (bug fix) Toplevel windows with no specified geometry were +always appearing in the upper left corner of the screen under +Windows. (SS) + +4/11/96 (bug fix) "wm minsize" did not properly report the minimum +size imposed by the Windows window manager. (SS) + +4/13/96 (bug fix) Text widgets could dump core in some cases where +text was inserted on the top visible line. (JO) + +4/16/96 (bug fix) Changed menu code to ignore errors that occur when +restoring a grab: the old grab window might not be visible anymore. (JO) + +----------------- Released 4.1, 4/21/96 ----------------------- + +5/1/96 (bug fix) "option readfile" did not handle files with CRLF +line termination. (SS) + +5/1/96 (bug fix) Changed to install tkConfig.sh under "make install-binaries", +not "make install-libraries". (JO) + +5/7/96 (bug fix) Moved initScript in tkUnixInit.c to writable memory to +avoid potential core dumps. (JO) + +5/7/96 (bug fix) Changed tk_dialog back so that the dialog box is a +transient window again. This is needed to make sure that the dialog +box doesn't get obscured. Also changed it to return -1 if the dialog +window is deleted before the user presses a button. (JO) + +5/16/96 (bug fix) Fixed bug that caused core-dumps if a text widget +with -setgrid 1 was deleted by removing its command. (JO) + +5/16/96 (bug fix) Fixed bug that caused Tk initialization to use improperly +initialized variables left over from previous invocation of Tk_Init on +another interpreter. (JL) + +5/16/96 (new feature) Implemented application embedding on Windows +platforms (only Tk inside another application, not the other way yet). (JL) + +5/16/96 (new feature) Added C API Tk_SafeInit that adds Tk to a safe +interpreter. (JL) + +5/16/96 (bug fix) Fixed bug that caused Tk initialization to use improperly +initialized variables left over from previous invocation of Tk_Init on +another interpreter. (JL) + +5/16/96 (new feature) Implemented application embedding on Windows +platforms (only Tk inside another application, not the other way yet). (JL) + +5/16/96 (new feature) Added C API Tk_SafeInit that adds Tk to a safe +interpreter. (JL) + +5/22/96 (bug fix) Listboxes weren't properly ignoring double clicks on +button 1. (JO) + +6/12/96 (bug fix) Focus was automatically placed on new toplevels. +This caused the titlebar to flash during menubar traversal. (SS) + +6/12/96 (bug fix) Iconification of a window with a specified geometry +by using the minimize button would leave the window in an inconsistent +state. When the window was deiconified using "wm deiconify", the +window would continue to display as an icon with the deiconified +geometry. (SS) + +6/12/96 (bug fix) Fixed a resource leak where the text widget was not +freeing all of the TkRegions it created. This fix affects all +platforms, but is particularly important for Win32s. (SS) + +6/21/96 (configuration change) Added --enable-gcc switch to configure +script to make Tk just like Tcl. Now Tk will not use gcc unless you +request it explicitly. (JO) + +7/18/96 (bug fix) Changed "configure" script to add an extra -R switch +(or whatever is appropriate to the platform) if the X library is in a +nonstandard place. This guarantees that the shared library can be +found at runtime without having to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. (JO) + +7/19/96 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkImgGIF.c that cause core dumps if a +GIF file contained multiple images. (JO) + +7/20/96 (bug fix) Deadlock could occur if a recursive series of send +operations involved multiple displays. (JO) + +7/23/96 (bug fix) Fixed a resource leak where deallocated XIDs were +taking up memory on Windows and Macintosh platforms. (SS) + +7/30/96 (bug fix) A core dump could occur if a handler for +a window tried to create a child in the half-dead window. Fixed by +making the window's name disappear from the name table once it starts +to be deleted. (JO) + +----------------- Released patch 4.1p1, 8/2/96 ----------------------- + +4/30/96 (new feature) Added support for named virtual events. New "event" +command to define/destroy named virtual events and to programmatically +send both real and virtual events to Tk. (CS) + +8/6/96 (bug fix) Entry widgets were invoking scrollbar update functions +too often. (JO) + +8/9/96 (bug fix) 7/30 change above for handlers broke many +things by making window available during Destroy handler. Reworked +fix for core dump to simply disallow creating children of half-dead +parents. (JO) + +8/12/96 (bug fix) Fixed bug where using the Copy menu item on the +Macintosh would append a NULL character at the end of the text. (RJ) + +8/15/96 (bug fix) Fixed Mac code so garbage wouldn't be printed in +text and entry widgets when function & other non-printing keys were +pressed. (RJ) + +8/15/96 (configuration improvement) Changed the file patchlevel.h +to be tkPatch.h. This avoids conflict with the Tcl file and is now +in 8.3 format on the Windows platform. (RJ) + +8/19/96 (bug fix) Fixed a bug under Windows where the initial window +position for a toplevel window was reported as +0+0, regardless of the +actual position. (SS) + +8/21/96 (bug fix) If the last character on a line in a text widget was +a space character that didn't completely fit, the text widget would +sometimes add an extra wrap line. (JO) + +8/22/96 (feature change) Complete rewrite of the grid geometry manager. +There is a new layout algorithm that produces better (but different) +layouts in many common cases. (SU) + +8/22/96 (new feature) There are two new options for the grid geometry +manager, "grid update" which forces an immediate layout calculation, +and a "-pad" option to rowconfigure and columnconfigure that allows for +extra space around widgets. (SU) + +8/22/96 (feature change) The order in which the grid geometry manager +reports slaves is now last-managed first. (SU) + +8/22/96 (feature change) The column and row weights in the grid +geometry manager are kept internally as integers, instead of floating +point values. Floating point values are still accepted on the command line, +but are truncated to integers. (SU) + +8/22/96 (new feature) There are four new commands for opening common +dialog boxes: tk_chooseColor, tk_getOpenFile, tk_getSaveFile and +tk_messageBox. Native dialog boxes are used wherever available. (IL) + +8/22/96 (new demos) Added "fsbox", "msgbox" and "clrpick" demos. (IL) + +8/23/96 (feature change) Invoking the edit menu on the Macintosh now +generates the following virtual events <>, <>, <>, +and <> instead of faking key events. (RJ) +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +8/25/96 (bug fix) Fixed a bug that would cause "grid x" to dump core. (SU) + +8/26/96 (new feature) Added the "unsupported1" command to the +Macintosh version of Tk. This command will allow you to set the style +of a new toplevel Window (much like overrideredirect). You can use +this to get access to all of the Native Mac window styles. This is to +hold you over until we get a more general solution added to the +toplevel command. (RJ) + +8/26/96 (new feature) Added support to handle the zoom box on a +Macintosh window. (Currently, you can only get a Tk window with a +zoom box by using the "unsupported1" command. (RJ) + +8/27/96 (documentation change) Removed old change bars (for changes in +Tk 4.1 and earlier releases) from manual entries. (JO) + +----------------- Released 4.2b1, 8/30/96 ----------------------- + +9/5/96 (bug fixes) Fixed several bugs in file dialogs: individual files +could be listed twice, if a long list of files were shown, and the view +scrolled to the right, and then a different file file was shown, the +scrollregion on the canvas wasn't being reset, so the file dialog was +broken from then on, added an update idletasks so that the watch +cursor was shown when the dialog was thinking. For the motif file +dialog, fixed the weights for resizing. On the clrpicker, fixed the +finalColor variable which caused problems when the OK button was +"clicked" before the dialog was mapped (in the test suite). Added Ioi's +last changes from before he left. For message boxes, if a single button +message box is shown (currently only 'ok'), it is set to be the default +even if not specified. (KC) + +9/5/96 (bug fix) Fixed bug on Macintosh where menus would appear in a +seemingly random location. (RJ) + +9/5/96 (bug fix) Text widgets had rounding problems with the "yview" +command that caused them sometimes to round to the line before the +correct one. (JO) + +9/5/96 (bug fix) Changed grab code to retry grabs after errors where +another application already has the grab. This is needed to get +around race conditions with some window managers and will hopefully +solve the grab errors that people see occasionally. (JO) + +9/6/96 (bug fix) Fixed x-y coordinate confusion problem with scaling +of window items in canvases. (JO) + +9/11/96 (bug fix) The open and save file dialogs would change the +current working directory under Windows. (SS) + +9/12/96 (bug fix) The Tk event system was delivering events to dead +windows, if the event handler got reentered during a Destroy event +handler. This could cause core dumps and other problems. (JO) + +9/20/96 (bug fix) In XFillRectangles under Windows, a brush was not +being deallocated. (SS) + +9/20/96 (bug fix) The Mac window manager used to generate a mouseUp +event for a top level that was recently raised to the front/active +window which often caused a tk(priv) error. The up event is no +longer generated with solves several problems. (RJ) + +9/25/96 (bug fix) The font code under Windows was leaking memory +whenever a new font was referenced using the three part font names. (SS) + +9/26/96 (bug fix) The tests for the common dialogs still used the 'testevent' +function. I updated these calls in clrpick.test, msgbox.test, filebox.test +to use the new event gereating mechanism. + +9/18/96 (bug fix) Long-standing bug in bind where was +reported as , but was reported as "aa". (CS) + +9/27/96 (bug fix) Bindings didn't work on 64-bit machines due to changes +made for virtual events. (CS) + +9/30/96 (feature change) Binding for new virtual events included both +lower and upper-case, e.g., <> was defined as and +. Previously, widgets were directly bound to only lower-case +bindings. The upper-case binding caused incompatibility with some existing +Tcl programs, so the upper case bindings for <>, <>, and <> +were removed. (CS) + +9/30/96 (bug fix) The postscript code in the canvas widget now uses +channels to get and write .ps files which fixed a bug on the Mac where +an output file would have mixed EOL characters. In addition, I added +the ability for the prolog to come from the Tk shared library on the +Mac which makes it possible to have a standalone application. (RJ) + +10/1/96 (feature change) "grid forget" was renamed "grid remove". A new +command "grid forget" was added whose semantics are the same as "pack forget" +(SAU) +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +10/1/96 (feature change) grid no longer accepts floating point values for +row or column weights, integers must be used. (SAU) +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +10/1/96 (feature change) "grid {column,row}configure " +returns a list of option value pairs for all of the row or column +constraints. It used to return an error. (SAU) + +10/1/96 (bug fix) "The way grid handles '^' short-cuts was re-written +to eliminate core dumps. (SAU) + +10/3/96 (feature change) A virtual event binding associated with a +given physical event is now considered less specific than a binding for +that same physical event, all other things being equal. (CS). + +10/3/96 (bug fix) Under Windows text placed on the clipboard did not +undergo CRLF translation when delivered to other applications. (SS) + +10/3/96 (bug fix) Copying an image onto itself with a zoom factor that +caused the image to grow was accessing freed memory. (SS) + +10/3/96 (bug fix) Under Windows, the image blank subcommand did not +work. (SS) + +10/10/96 (bug fix) Under Windows & Macintosh, XSetFont and XChangeGC +were not implemented, and XSetLineAttributes did not correctly update +the GC. (SS) + +10/10/96 (bug fix) Under Windows, 8-bit non-palette displays were not +handled properly. (SS) + +10/10/96 (bug fix) Under Windows, images of depth other than 8 or 24 +bits were not being rendered properly. (SS) + +10/10/96 (bug fix) Under Windows, bitmap subimages were not correctly +displayed. (SS) + +10/14/96 (bug fix) Under Window, wm resizable would constrain both +programatic resizes as well as user resizes. (SS) + +----------------- Released 4.2, 10/16/96 ----------------------- + +10/17/96 (bug fix) XCopyPlane was broken under Windows and would cause +a crash when used with a clipping bitmap. (SS) + +10/21/96 (bug fix) Added missing resources needed by tk_getOpenDialog +on the Macintosh to the shared library for Tk. (RJ) + +10/22/96 (bug fix) Invoking a menu with an Alt key sequence caused an +error due to a misplaced common in library/menu.tcl. (JO) + +10/23/96 (bug fix) Errors in files sourced by the Macintosh +"Source..." menu are now correctly reported via the background +error mechanism. (RJ) + +10/23/96 (bug fix) Fixed a bug in the Mac subwindow implementation +that caused refreshes to not occur for canvases with embedded +windows. (RJ) + +10/24/96 (bug fix) Provided workaround for Apple bug that doesn't +handle zooming correctly for floating windows. (RJ) + +10/24/96 (bug fix) Macintosh tearoff menus are now correctly +displayed as Mac floating windows. (RJ) + +11/1/96 (bug fix) Restored manual page for procedures like +Tk_CreateWindowFromPath and Tk_DestroyWindow; was accidentally deleted +when Tk_CreateMainWindow procedure was decommissioned. (JO) + +11/19/96 (bug fix) Fixed bugs in postscript code that would cause the +prefix to not be included and the output file to have the wrong +permissions. (RJ) + +12/2/96 (bug fix) Fixed problem with canvas lines where it didn't +compute bounding boxes correctly for zero-width lines: this could +potentially leave garbage on the screen when items were deleted or +moved. (JO) + +12/5/96 (bug fix) Fixed the Macintosh implementation of pointer x/y +which was returning garbage. (RJ) + +12/6/96 (bug fix) Fixed grid bug where the positioning of slaves was +incorrect for non-zero values of ipadx and ipady (SU) + +12/6/96 (bug fix) Fixed grid bug where slaves got "lost" when an +already managed slave is re-managed in a different master. (SAU) + +----------------- Released 4.2p1, 12/8/96 (Mac only) -------------- + +1/17/97 (bug fix) Fixed bug where the Tk clipboard was not in sync +with the Macintosh clipboard on start-up. (RJ) + +----------------- Released 4.2p2, 1/31/97 -------------- + +---------------------------------------------------------- +Changes for Tk 4.2 go above this line. +Changes for Tk 4.3 go below this line. +---------------------------------------------------------- + +9/19/96 (improvement) Implemented table driven mechanism for deciding +whether a command is safe. If it is added by Tk_Init and it appears in the +table then it is kept, otherwise it is removed in a safe interpreter. (JL) + +10/18/96 (new feature) Added support for application embedding: + - Frame and toplevel widgets now have a -container option, which + turns the widget into a container. + - Toplevel widgets have a -use option for requesting that the + widget be embedded in another application. + - Wish also supports a -use command-line option. +Embedding is fully supported under Unix, but the implementation is +not complete under Windows or the Macintosh (it works just well +enough to support the Tcl/Tk plugin). (JO) + +10/22/96 (bug fix) The commands "winfo rootx" and "winfo rooty" didn't +work for non-toplevel windows in embedded applications: they returned +the coordinates of the nearest toplevel. (JO) + +12/02/96 (new feature) Implemented Safe Tk. Tk can now be loaded into a +safe interpreter that has been created with tcl_safeCreateInterp, by +calling load {} Tk interpname. (JL) + +12/02/96 (new feature) A safe Tk interpreter can no longer generate +postscript output from a canvas. (JL) + +12/02/96 (new feature) Added -channel option to photo command to allow +image data to be read from a channel. This is useful in safe Tk +interpreters where the data cannot be read directly from a file. (JL) + +---------------------------------------------------------- +Changes for Tk 4.3 go above this line. +Changes for Tk 8.0 go below this line. +---------------------------------------------------------- + +9/1/96 (new features) The font mechanism in Tk has been completely +reworked: + - Font names need not be nasty X LFDs: more intuitive names like + {Times 12 Bold} can also be used. See the manual entry font.n + for details. + - Font requests always succeed now. If the requested font is not + available, Tk finds the closest available font and uses that one. + - Tk now supports named fonts whose precise attributes can be + changed dynamically. If a named font is changed, any widget + using that font updates itself to reflect the change. + - There is a new command "font" for creating named fonts and querying + various information about fonts. + - There are now officially supported C APIs for measuring and + displaying text. If you use these APIs now, your code will + automatically handle international text when internationalization + is added to Tk in a future release. See the manual entries + MeasureChar.3, TextLayout.3, and FontId.3. + - The old C procedures Tk_GetFontStruct, Tk_NameOfFontStruct, and + Tk_FreeFontStruct have been replaced with more portable procedures + Tk_GetFont, Tk_NameOfFont, and Tk_FreeFont. + *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** +(CS) + +9/24/96 (bug fix) Under Windows, transient windows would be destroyed +if their master was destroyed, even if the transient window was not a +child of the master. (SS) + +10/18/96 (new features) A -menu option has been added to the toplevel +widget command, which allows a menu to operate as a menubar. On the +Macintosh, the menubar is displayed accross the top of the main monitor, +just like with other applications. Under Windows and Unix, the menu is +attached to the toplevel window. Also, changed some semantics. +Tearoff menus will now reflect changes to the menu it was +torn off from, and are deleted when the master menu is +deleted. Tearoffs also reflect more look-and-feel of the +platforms they are running on. (SRP) + +10/31/96 (bug fix) Under Windows, missing system cursors would +generate an error instead of falling through to the Tk cursor of the +same name. (SS) + +11/7/96 (feature change) Under Unix, default borderwidth is now 1 to +more closely approximate CDE. (SS) +Note: this change was undone on 6/12/97, restoring the default border +width to 2 again. (JO) + +11/7/96 (new feature) The button widget now supports a -default option +that draws a platform specific default ring around the widget. (SS) + +11/7/96 (feature change) Under Windows, buttons and scrollbars now +have native look and feel. This affects the default class bindings +and the way the some configuration options are interpreted. Refer to +the widget manual pages for more details. (SS) +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +11/19/96 (bug fix) Under Windows, images were incorrectly drawn on +16-bit displays. (SS) + +11/19/96 (bug fix) Under Windows, the class name for the main window +(.) was not properly generated from argv0. (SS) + +11/20/96 (bug fix) Fixed a couple of bugs in the Canvas widget. The +postscript file is now created with the correct permissions. Also, +the prolog is now properly included in all cases. (RJ) + +11/22/96 (bug fix) Under Windows, the initial directory and file names +were not properly translated before being passed to the system +open/save file dialogs. So forward slashes were not converted to +backslashes, and tilde substitution was not performed. (SS) + +11/25/96 (feature change) Under Windows and Macintosh, the selection +highlight is now hidden whenever an entry or text widget loses focus. +Also, the previous selection information is not lost when a new +selection is made in a different widget. (SS) + +11/26/96 (new feature) Added support for images as primitive types in +text widgets. (SU) + +11/30/96 (configuration improvement) Modified configure.in to handle the +case where Tcl and Tk are installed in different places by including both +their library directories in the library search path for Tk. (JO) + +12/3/96 (bug fixes) Fixed two bugs related to canvas lines that caused +the screen to be incorrectly refreshed, leaving garbage on the screen. +One bug was related to lines with width zero, and the other was +related to lines with very long miters. (JO) + +12/4/96 (bug fix) The "update" command was only syncing the display +for its main window. Changed to sync all displays. (JO) + +12/5/96 (bug fix) Color deallocation would occasionally cause a panic +under Windows. (SS) + +12/5/96 (bug fix) Errors during startup were silently discarded under +Windows. (SS) + +12/5/96 (bug fix) Errors during startup were silently discarded under +Windows. (SS) + +12/11/96 (bug fix) Text widgets weren't considering the -spacing1 +and -spacing2 options when computing their desired geometry. (JO) + +12/12/96 (feature change) Option menus using tk_optionMenu were +created with command entries that set the option menu's variable in a +command string. This has been changed so that the option menu's +entries are now radiobutton entries so that the entries that matches +the variable is now checked when the menu is posted. (SRP) + +12/12/96 (feature change) The destroy command no longer returns an +error when a window does not exist. (SRP) + +12/13/96 (new feature) grid row/column-configure accepts a list of +indices in addition to a single index. (SU) + +12/17/96 (bug fix) Under Windows, command line was not being parsed +correctly if it contained the literal characters \" (CS) + +12/17/96 (feature change) Native Windows labels do not get a focus-ring +border. (CS) + +12/17/96 (bug fix) Under Windows, colors specified as "#XXYYZZ" where XX, YY, +or ZZ were not valid hex digits were getting a random color value instead of +being an error. (CS) + +----------------- Released 8.0a1, 12/17/96 ----------------------- + +12/23/96 (bug fix) Fixed two menu bugs: + - Menus could get stacked below other windows so that they weren't + visible when posted (especially under olvwm and fvwm). + - Under olvwm if you pressed button 1 over an entry in a new-style + menubar, the menu didn't appear until you moved the mouse slightly. +(JO) + +1/6/97 (bug fix) Focus could accidentally get grabbed by an application +away from the rightful focus owner if the focus recently changed from one +application to another. (JO) + +1/6/97 (bug fix) Under Windows, the console was appearing even for +non-interactive applications. This was a side effect of a general +problem with the wm state of windows that were being mapped for the +first time. (SS) + +1/6/97 (bug fix) Under Windows, the initialization code was not +looking in the right directory for the Tk libraries when the program +being run was not in the Tcl installation heirarchy. (SS) + +1/8/97 (bug fix) Under Windows, the windows were not being unmapped +properly, which led to strange packer behavior. (SS) + +1/8/97 (bug fix) The "winfo containing" command (and the Tk_CoordsToWindow +procedure) didn't work properly on Unix in the presence of embedding or +menubars. (JO) + +1/15/97 (bug fix) Invoking "destroy ." as the command from a menu would +cause Tk to crash because TkMainInfo was freed before menu released its +resources. This bug had already been fixed for scrollbars and buttons. (CS) + +1/15/97 (bug fix) Tk is now working under Win32s again, including Win32 +version 1.25. Fixed separate problems in fonts and dialogs. (CS) + +1/15/97 (feature change) Under Windows, font sizes are now specified in +points, not pixels. The mapping between pointsize and pixels depends on +Windows having accurate metrics for the monitor (plug&play helps). Font +metrics are still reported in pixels. (CS) + +1/21/97 (bug fix) Grid no longer reports rows or columns "out of range" +when requesting their constraints. (SAU) + +1/21/97 (bug fix) Fixed some window manager related bugs on the +Macintosh. Now better support global grabs. (RJ) + +1/21/97 (bug fix) For Windows: Fixed problems with canvas items that +used end caps. Fixed arc implementation to more closely approximate +X. Stippling now works properly on fat lines. (SS) + +1/21/97 (bug fix) Small interlaced GIF images were not properly +decoded. (SS) + +1/21/97 (bug fix) More changes to image code to try to handle 16-bit +displays properly under Windows. (SS) + +1/21/97 (bug fix) Numerous display bugs on Unix and Macintosh are now +fixed. Numerous binding problems for menubars under Unix are now +fixed. Deletion of menu separators under Windows is now fixed. (SRP) + +----------------- Released 8.0a2, 1/24/97 ----------------------- + +1/29/97 (feature change) The -transient field for menus is no longer +supported. There is now a -type field which is used to achieve the +same purpose that the -transient field accomplished. When a menu is +created, the -type field controls whether the menu is a normal +pull-down menu, a floating tearoff menu or a menubar. This option is +normally only used by the library code and internally by the menubar +code. (SRP) +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +2/5/97 (feature change) Changed the photo image mechanism to use +Tcl_Channels instead of FILE * as an argument to image matching +functions. The change will make it much easier to write cross +platform image types in Tk. Note: FILE * is no longer used anywhere +in Tk. (RJ) +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +2/7/97 (enhancement) Were not allowed to bind to virtual events inside of +canvas or text widget (e.g., "$canvas bind all <> {script}" or +"$text tag bind sel <> {script}"); it would return an error +disallowing that binding. Now _can_ bind to a virtual event, but that +binding inside of the canvas or text widget will only fire if the +underlying virtual event definition is of type key, button, motion, +enter, or leave; all other physical event types get filtered out by the +widget before the virtual event mapping is done. (CS) + +2/22/97 (bug fix) Under Unix, "wm geometry +-20+-30" didn't work. (JO) + +2/24/97 (bug fix) The photo image didn't always zero out enough of its +pixel and dither correction arrays. (JO) + +2/25/97 (bug fix) Fixed focus problem that could cause "BadMatch (invalid +parameter attributes)" in X_SetInputFocus requests on Unix. (JO) + +2/25/97 (bug fix and new feature) Added new "gray75" bitmap, fixed +"gray25" bitmap to really be 25% on (due to an ancient mistake, it +had been only 12% on). (JO) + +2/28/97 (bug fix) Windows: made embedding work again on Win32 platform. +Prevent iconification, deiconinification on embedded windows. (JL) + +3/4/97 (new feature) Added the ability to manipulate the Apple and +Help menus on the Macintosh; the system menu on Windows; and to have a +right justified Help menu on Unix. See the documentation for menu.n +for more details. (SRP) + +3/4/97 (bug fix) Prevented core dump at exit if a binding on "." +gets invoked from destroying a nested widget and the binding causes the +interpreter to be deleted. The core dump was being caused by the +interpreter not being Tcl_Preserve'd during the destroy of ".". (JL) + +3/4/97 (bug fix) Under Unix, when embedded Tk is running in a separate +process, correctly handle a race condition: ignore cross-over messages from +the X server for windows that Tk thinks it had already deleted, when the +containing process deletes its container window. Some other race conditions +still remain, e.g. with pixmaps, colormaps and images. (JL) + +3/10/97 (bug fix) Prevented core dump in generic console code due to +following a NULL pointer when the console interpreter was already deleted. +This may happen due to different orders of deletion possible at exit. (JL) + +3/10/97 (bug fix) Fixed bug on Mac and Windows that caused time to be +ignored when considering if a single click was actually a double +click. (RJ) + +3/11/97 (feature change) A major oversight has been that although it was +documented that the Tk programmer was asking for a font in points (1/72 of an +inch), under Unix and Mac Tk was actually asking for a font in pixels, while +only under Windows was it using points. This caused applications to appear +much larger when run under Windows. Now, on all platforms the (purportedly) +correct size in points is used when asking for fonts. However, for +compatibility with existing tk4.2 applications that depend on fonts being of +specified pixel size, XLFDs retain their incorrect behavior of getting a +font in pixels. (CCS) +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +3/13/97 (new feature) "tk scaling" command to setup the mapping between +pixels and points. This scaling factor is used by all widgets that accept +ruler distances, not just fonts. (CCS) + +3/24/97 (new feature) Added "-columnbreak" option to menu +entries. When this value is "1", the entry will appear at the top of a +new column in a non-menubar menu. Also added "-hideMargin". Together +with "-columnBreak", menus with palettes are now possible. (SRP) + +3/26/97 (new features and bug fix) Titles for tearoff menus were +broken on the Mac and Windows. Added the ability to set the title of a +menu when it gets torn off and override Tk's automatic generation of +the title. On the Macintosh, whenever a menu +label contains three dots in a row "...", the menu will instead +display the elipses character 'É'. (SRP) + +3/27/97 (bug fixes) When a menu had an error executing a postcommand, +the error information was getting lost. On Windows, a set of +menubuttons was not highligting properly when clicking between +windows. On Windows, post commands were getting executed twice for +popup menus. On Macintosh, fixed problem where menubars were not +always current. (SRP) + +4/11/97 (new feature) Menubuttons now have a direction flag which +controls where the menu popups up relative to the button. (SRP) + +4/24/97 (bug fix) Transient windows did not obey the resizable setting +under Windows. (SS) + +4/24/97 (bug fix) wm geometry did not correctly parse negative +coordinates. (SS) + +4/29/97 (bug fix) Changed the canvas polygon implementation to only +report the coordinates specified by the end user not the automatically +generated end point of a self closing polygon. (RJ) +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +4/23/97 (feature change) Loosened the rules on parsing font names so that +unix-centric fonts in scripts don't break when run on Windows or Mac. +(1) Previously, an XLFD had to specify font name, weight, slant, and size; +now, a minimal XLFD (such as "*-times-*") will be accepted, and all +unspecified attributes will be given default values. (2) Previously, in the +{name size style ...} format, only the style was optional; now both the size +and the style are optional; this solves the problem of old scripts that +contain specifications of the form "-font fixed" or "-font times". (CCS) + +5/7/97 (new feature) Menus now send a virtual event <> +when an item is highlighted in a menu. Applications can use this to +implement context-sensitive help. (SRP) + +5/14/97 (bug fix) Fixed a race condition in the focus code where focus +could be taken away from a window incorrectly. Scenario is that the main +window creates a toplevel and assigns focus to it. When the user moves the +mouse from the main window into the toplevel there was a race between +two different kinds of focus events. (BW) + +5/20/97 (bug fix) Fixed bug where the clipboard was not rendered before +the application exited. (SS) + +5/22/97 (feature change) When a Tk8.0 menu is configured, all menus +derived from it (menubars, tearoff) mirror the changes. This was not +true for the "-tearoff" flag. In Tk4.6, tearoff menus had the +"-tearoff" flag turned off. Now, the "-tearoff" flag is tracked just +as the other options are. Tearoff menus and menubars with the +"-tearoff" option set will not display the tearoff item. This means +that a given menu entry for a menu and a tearoff of that menu will +match now. (SRP) +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +----------------- Released 8.0b1, 5/27/97 ----------------------- + +5/30/97 (bug fix) Made the options to the grid command shortcut-able. +Ie. You can now use -stick, in addition to -sticky. (RJ) + +6/2/97 (bug fix) Fixed bug in startup code that caused a problem in +finding the library files when they are installed in a directory +containing a space in the name. (SS) + +6/2/97 (bug fix) Virtual events associated with / in text +widget tag caused panic. (CCS) + +6/6/97 (bug fix) On some systems, struct timeval.tv_sec is unsigned. (SS) + +6/6/97 (feature change) Changed -default option on buttons to take +three states: normal, active, disabled. This allows apps to have a +row of buttons where the default ring moves between buttons without +changing the geometry of the buttons. See the button.n manual page +for more details. (SS) +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY with Tk 8.0b1, but not with Tk 4.2 *** + +6/9/97 (bug fix) Canvas postscript printing now works for bitmaps +under Windows. (SS) + +6/10/97 (bug fix) Fixed bug in bindings for listboxes where state wasn't +being properly initialized on Shift-1 button presses. (JO) + +6/11/97 (bug fix) Text widget display code did not include internal +padding in the damage calculation for borders leading to unrefreshed +sections on Windows and Mac. (SS) + +6/12/97 (feature reversal) Changed default border widths under Unix +back to 2 again. This reverses the change made on 11/7/96. (JO) + +6/13/97 (bug fixes) In canvas text item: the insertion cursor wasn't shown +if insertion point was at end of text item, it was impossible to click to +position the insertion point after the last character, and @x,y indices were +computed incorrectly if -scrollregion had been specified and canvas was +scrolled. (CCS) + +6/13/97 (bug fix) Hitting up/down arrows in a text widget packed in a +toplevel window created with the "-screen" option would cause an error dialog +to pop up. (CCS) + +6/12/97 (bug fix) Fixed bug in canvas text items where multi-line +selections were not highlighted properly. This bug existed only in +earlier releases of Tk 8.0. (JO) + +6/16/97 (bug fix) In some obscure cases, canvas window items could +accidentally specified a 0x0 size for the window, which caused a +BadValue error under X. (JO) + +6/17/97 (bug fix) Tk buttons on the Macintosh will now correctly +draw under MacOS 8.0. (RJ) + +6/18/97 (feature change) Changed the way highlights are drawn in text +widgets so that the empty space to the left of a line is highlighted +whenever the leftmost character of the line is highlighted (the empty +space didn't used to be highlighted). This produces a neater left +edge when several lines are selected. (JO) + +6/18/97 (bug fix) Tk was using the wrong system colors to draw various +widgets under Windows. (SS) + +6/19/97 (bug fix) Under Windows, the "wm transient" and "wm overrideredirect" +subcommands can now be applied to a toplevel to change its window +style at any time during the life of the window. (SS) + +6/19/97 (feature change) All GIF and XBM images needed for the "TK" +file dialog box are included in-line in tkfbox.tcl. (IL) + +6/27/97 (bug fix) Revamped focus code to eliminate most XSetInputFocus +calls from the FilterEvent procedure. This moves the implementation back +towards the Tk 4.2 implementation, but adds embedding support. There is +still a known bug with twm's NoTitleFocus and embedded windows. However, +the races in a2 and the funny focus stealing in b1 are gone. (BW) + +6/25/97 (bug fix) Error message was not properly reported when using +button 'toggle'. (DL) + +6/25/97 (bug fix) Removed one source of memory corruption in tkGrid.c code +(fixes what was exercised by "grid col . 0 -w 1; grid col . 0 -w 25") (DL) + +----------------- Released 8.0b2, 6/30/97 ----------------------- + +7/1/97 (bug fix) Menu shortcut and tearoff reported problem fixed. (DL) + +7/1/97 (new feature) TK_BUILD_SHARED flag set in tkConfig.sh +when Tk has been built with --enable-shared. TK_SRC_DIR added. +A new tkLibObjs make target, echoing the list of the .o's needed +to build a tk library, is now provided. (DL) + +7/9/97 (bug fix) Fixed Tk_CreateFileHandler and Tk_DeleteFileHandler +macros to directly call the Tcl equivalents. (JL) + +7/10/97 (bug fix) On the Mac, if the binding for <> was +drawing, the drawing could bleed over into the menus. This is now +fixed. (SRP) + +7/10/97 (bug fixes) Removed duplicate code related to Tk_SafeInit, +made a single init script handling both cases. (DL) + +7/10/97 (feature change) On Unix, to be able to load Tk into a safe +interp you need to set the env(DISPLAY) var. Some API should be +added to allow master crontrol over Tk instantiation. (DL) + +7/11/97 (new feature) On the Mac, menus that are too big for the +screen will now scroll. This is part of the interface on the Mac, +impossible under Windows, and is not done for Unix. (SRP) + +7/21/97 (bug fix) After fixing the bug that in canvas text item the insertion +cursor wasn't shown if insertion point was at end of text item, introduced a +different bug in where clicking in entry widget with 0 characters would +crash or display garbage. (CCS) + +7/22/97 (bug fix) If there were a whole bunch of returns or tabs in a row in +a canvas text item, then the temporary buffer used when outputting +postscript could overflow and overwrite the stack. (CCS) + +7/23/97 (feature change) Reenabled "tkwait" in the Safe Tk base. (JL) + +7/24/97 (bug fix) Single init script for both Win and Unix. +new library/safetk.tcl using features from new tcl safe.tcl (DL) + +7/30/97 (feature change) As a result of native menus, you can no +longer drag through a frame of menubuttons on Macintosh and Windows +and have the menus pop down. You can still click on individual +menubuttons and their menus will pop down. Applications needing to +present a menubar should consider using the new "-menu" configuration +of the toplevel widget to set up menubar which behaves correctly on +Macintosh, Windows and X Windows. (SRP) + +7/31/97 (bug fix) Tk widget commands can now safely be hidden commands. +Previously destroying the widget would potentially leave dangling pointers +and destroy an exposed command instead of a hidden one if an exposed +command by that name existed. (JL) + +7/31/97 (bug fix) On Windows, popup menus were not tracking the right mouse +button correctly if it was used to invoke the menu. On Unix, tearoff +menus were stealing focus when the mouse moving over them even when +focus following was turned off. (SRP) + +8/4/97 (bug fix) Fixed problem under USENIX where raising a toplevel +window could cause an X error if the window had just been withdrawn. (JO) + +8/4/97 (feature change) tkerror and bgerror are not anymore hard links +maintained by the Tcl core. The implementation of bgerror provided by +Tk tries, for backward compatibility only, to to call "tkerror" and +if that fails, falls back to the usual dialog and stack trace option +posting. You can thus still use either "bgerror" or "tkerror" as your +application error handling proc, but using "bgerror" is strongly +recommended as support for "tkerror" will eventually vanish in upcoming +releases. (DL) +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY with scripts that were using + the actual hardlink implementation 'features' and with + scripts (if any) that would be calling the default "tkerror" to + simulate error messages (use "bgerror" instead) *** + +8/7/97 (feature change/addition) Removed the gif files used for the +Open dialog box on UNIX (they were previously made inline). Added a +new images directory that includes several images of the Tcl and Tcl +Powered logos. (RJ) + +8/7/97 (bug fix) Fixed focus to deal with embedding when there is +no window manager. (BW) + +8/8/97 (bug fix) Fixed bug in photo image code where photo images from +different interpreters could get confused if they had the same name. (JO) + +8/8/97 (new feature) Added new procedure Tk_GetImageMasterData for +mapping image names to master data. (JO) + +8/8/97 (feature change) Modified Tk_FindPhoto procedure to require +extra "interp" argument (needed for bug fix above). (JO) +*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** + +8/8/97 (bug fix) Fixed problems under Windows renaming toplevels with +menubars. Fixed problems on all platforms renaming menu widgets and +using new menus of the same name as an old one as cascades. Fixed a +cosmetic problem with tearoff menus. (SRP) + +8/13/97 (bug fixes) Fixed "-from" option for the "image create" and +"imageName read" commands for GIF images, which didn't used to work +correctly. Also made transparency work correctly for GIF images +without the TRANSPARENT_GIF_COLOR hack; TRANSPARENT_GIF_COLOR is +now ignored. These fixes were provided by Jan Nijtmans. (JO) + +8/13/97 (new feature) added safe::loadTk command to load Tk in a +safe slave interpreter. See the loadTk.n manual page for more +details. (DL) + +----------------- Released 8.0, 8/18/97 ----------------------- + +8/22/97 - (bug fix) Fixed syntax error in tk_popup; option menus now +popup over their selected items like they did in tk4.2. Fixed problem +where cascades sometimes did not work on X. On X, menubars with +checkbuttons and radiobuttons in them would infinite loop when +mappped. (SRP) + +8/27/97 (new feature) Added support for new X11R6 colors under Windows +and Mac platforms. (SS) + +8/29/97 (bug fix) Wish crashed if stdin was closed. (SS) + +9/10/97 (bug fix) "font actual {helvetica 10} -displayof ." wasn't taking +into account the "-displayof" option. This problem also existed for the +"font metrics" and "font measure" commands. (CCS) + +9/16/97 (new feature) Added "resource delete" and "resource files" +command to the Mac. Also fixed "resource write" when the resource +was specified by id and already existed. (JI) + +9/16/97 (bug fix) Added null bindings to for the +text and entry widget on the Macintosh. This prevents unbound command +key sequences from having the character echoed to the widget. Also +fixed Cut & Copy bindings. (JI) (RJ) + +9/18/97 (bug fix) Revamped Macintosh focus code. Cut, Copy & Paste +virtual events now go to the correct (focus) window. (RJ) + +9/19/97 (bug fix) Made Macintosh tearoff menus non-resizable. (RJ) + +10/9/97 (bug fix) Image code could cause crashes during "exit" under +some conditions (such as an image named "place"). (JO) + +10/9/97 (bug fix) Fixed bug that sometimes prevented listboxes from +scrolling far enough horizontally to see the rightmost character. (JO) + +10/9/97 (bug fix) Default font for new canvas text items was hardcoded to +"Helvetica 12" instead of using DEF_CANVTEXT_FONT defined in +tk{platform}Default.h like all the other widget settings. (CCS) + +10/10/97 (bug fix) In canvas text items, if the text ended with a \n, it +was not counted in the bbox height, as it did in tk4.2. This caused +"hello\n" to be the same height as "hello" and you couldn't see the +cursor positioned on the next line. (CCS) + +10/10/97 (bug fix) The grid geometry manager didn't always properly +forget about windows after a "grid forget" or "grid remove" command: +the windows could reappear on the screen later. (JO) + +10/13/97 (bug fix) Selection could not be restored to a text widget +after "selection clear" on Windows. (SS) + +10/14/97 (bug fix) If a canvas had contained windows that were off-screen, +the windows could sometimes reappear (in the wrong place) if the canvas was +enlarged. (JO) + +10/20/97 (bug fix) Omitting the arguments to the text widget "mark +gravity" option caused a crash. (SS) + +10/21/97 (bug fix) Tk did not reset the result after native dialog +modal loops on Window so background events could perturb the dialog +result. (SS) + +10/23/97 (bug fix) Memory leak in unix's TkpGetFontFamilies. Thanks +to James Bonfield for the fix. (DL) + +10/27/97 (bug fix) Fixed event reporting for the Mac during a grab +when the pointer was out of the toplevel window. (RJ) + +10/28/97 (bug fix) Under Unix, override-redirect was getting set +incorrectly for menus, so that "wm overrideredirect" returned 0. (JO) + +10/28/97 (bug fix) Under Unix, focus code could sometimes cause the +display to deadlock (it wasn't flushing the output buffer after issuing +an ungrab command). (JO) + +10/28/97 (bug fix) If a PPM image file wasn't complete (e.g. it +consisted of nothing but space characters) Tk entered an infinite loop +reading the header. (JO) + +10/28/97 (bug fixes) On the Mac, menubars assigned to toplevels would +disappear after a menu item was invoked from them. On Windows, +clicking a system menu with added items and then again with a +different set of added items would crash. On all platforms, a command +menu entry that caused the entry to be deleted, another one created in +its place, and the replacement deleted would cause a panic. On Unix, +<> event bindings were firing every time the mouse moved, +instead of everytime the active menu item changed. (SRP) + +10/27/97 (bug fix) If a particular race condition occurred under Windows, +Tk would crash complaining about trying to free a color that wasn't +allocated. (SS) + +10/28/97 (bug fix) Under Windows, button grabs did not report motion +events that occurred outside of Tk windows. (SS) + +10/28/97 (bug fix) Fixed incorrect display of transparent images on +the Macintosh. (JI) + +10/29/97 (bug fix) Reworked the handling of out-of-range indices in +the widget command for listboxes: there were all sorts of quirks +before (e.g., ".l delete -1" actually deleted the first element +of the listbox). (JO) + +10/29/97 (bug fix) Fixed crash on the Macintosh that could occur if a +window is moved before it is mapped where the X window was created but +the Macintosh port was not. (RJ) + +10/29/97 (bug fix) Fixed several errors in how wm state was maintained +on the Macintosh. Tk now also will iconify a toplevel window on the +Mac if the new Appearance Manager is present.

The \fIcolorName\fR +argument indicates what colors should be used in the border. +\fIColorName\fR may be any value acceptable to \fBTk_GetColor\fR. +The color indicated by \fIcolorName\fR will not actually be used in +the border; it indicates the background color for the window +(i.e. a color for flat surfaces). +The illuminated portions of the border will appear brighter than indicated +by \fIcolorName\fR, and the shadowed portions of the border will appear +darker than \fIcolorName\fR. +.PP +\fBTk_Get3DBorder\fR returns a token that may be used in later calls +to \fBTk_Draw3DRectangle\fR. If an error occurs in allocating information +for the border (e.g. \fIcolorName\fR isn't a legal color specifier), +then NULL is returned and an error message is left in \fIinterp->result\fR. +.PP +Once a border structure has been created, \fBTk_Draw3DRectangle\fR may be +invoked to draw the border. +The \fItkwin\fR argument specifies the +window for which the border was allocated, and \fIdrawable\fR +specifies a window or pixmap in which the border is to be drawn. +\fIDrawable\fR need not refer to the same window as \fItkwin\fR, but it +must refer to a compatible +pixmap or window: one associated with the same screen and with the +same depth as \fItkwin\fR. +The \fIx\fR, \fIy\fR, \fIwidth\fR, and +\fIheight\fR arguments define the bounding box of the border region +within \fIdrawable\fR (usually \fIx\fR and \fIy\fR are zero and +\fIwidth\fR and \fIheight\fR are the dimensions of the window), and +\fIborderWidth\fR specifies the number of pixels actually +occupied by the border. The \fIrelief\fR argument indicates +which of several three-dimensional effects is desired: +TK_RELIEF_RAISED means that the interior of the rectangle should appear raised +relative to the exterior of the rectangle, and +TK_RELIEF_SUNKEN means that the interior should appear depressed. +TK_RELIEF_GROOVE and TK_RELIEF_RIDGE mean that there should appear to be +a groove or ridge around the exterior of the rectangle. +.PP +\fBTk_Fill3DRectangle\fR is somewhat like \fBTk_Draw3DRectangle\fR except +that it first fills the rectangular area with the background color +(one corresponding +to the \fIcolorName\fR used to create \fIborder\fR). Then it calls +\fBTk_Draw3DRectangle\fR to draw a border just inside the outer edge of +the rectangular area. The argument \fIrelief\fR indicates the desired +effect (TK_RELIEF_FLAT means no border should be drawn; all that +happens is to fill the rectangle with the background color). +.PP +The procedure \fBTk_Draw3DPolygon\fR may be used to draw more complex +shapes with a three-dimensional appearance. The \fIpointPtr\fR and +\fInumPoints\fR arguments define a trajectory, \fIpolyBorderWidth\fR +indicates how wide the border should be (and on which side of the +trajectory to draw it), and \fIleftRelief\fR indicates which side +of the trajectory should appear raised. \fBTk_Draw3DPolygon\fR +draws a border around the given trajectory using the colors from +\fIborder\fR to produce a three-dimensional appearance. If the trajectory is +non-self-intersecting, the appearance will be a raised or sunken +polygon shape. The trajectory may be self-intersecting, although +it's not clear how useful this is. +.PP +\fBTk_Fill3DPolygon\fR is to \fBTk_Draw3DPolygon\fR what +\fBTk_Fill3DRectangle\fR is to \fBTk_Draw3DRectangle\fR: it fills +the polygonal area with the background color from \fIborder\fR, +then calls \fBTk_Draw3DPolygon\fR to draw a border around the +area (unless \fIleftRelief\fR is TK_RELIEF_FLAT; in this case no +border is drawn). +.PP +The procedures \fBTk_3DVerticalBevel\fR and \fBTk_3DHorizontalBevel\fR +provide lower-level drawing primitives that are used by +procedures such as \fBTk_Draw3DRectangle\fR. +These procedures are also useful in their own right for drawing +rectilinear border shapes. +\fBTk_3DVerticalBevel\fR draws a vertical beveled edge, such as the +left or right side of a rectangle, and \fBTk_3DHorizontalBevel\fR +draws a horizontal beveled edge, such as the top or bottom of a +rectangle. +Each procedure takes \fIx\fR, \fIy\fR, \fIwidth\fR, and \fIheight\fR +arguments that describe the rectangular area of the beveled edge +(e.g., \fIwidth\fR is the border width for \fBTk_3DVerticalBevel\fR). +The \fIleftBorder\fR and \fItopBorder\fR arguments indicate the +position of the border relative to the ``inside'' of the object, and +\fIrelief\fR indicates the relief of the inside of the object relative +to the outside. +\fBTk_3DVerticalBevel\fR just draws a rectangular region. +\fBTk_3DHorizontalBevel\fR draws a trapezoidal region to generate +mitered corners; it should be called after \fBTk_3DVerticalBevel\fR +(otherwise \fBTk_3DVerticalBevel\fR will overwrite the mitering in +the corner). +The \fIleftIn\fR and \fIrightIn\fR arguments to \fBTk_3DHorizontalBevel\fR +describe the mitering at the corners; a value of 1 means that the bottom +edge of the trapezoid will be shorter than the top, 0 means it will +be longer. +For example, to draw a rectangular border the top bevel should be +drawn with 1 for both \fIleftIn\fR and \fIrightIn\fR, and the +bottom bevel should be drawn with 0 for both arguments. +.PP +The procedure \fBTk_SetBackgroundFromBorder\fR will modify the background +pixel and/or pixmap of \fItkwin\fR to produce a result compatible +with \fIborder\fR. For color displays, the resulting background will +just be the color given by the \fIcolorName\fR argument passed to +\fBTk_Get3DBorder\fR when \fIborder\fR was created; for monochrome +displays, the resulting background +will be a light stipple pattern, in order to distinguish the background from +the illuminated portion of the border. +.PP +Given a token for a border, the procedure \fBTk_NameOf3DBorder\fR +will return the \fIcolorName\fR string that was passed to +\fBTk_Get3DBorder\fR to create the border. +.PP +The procedure \fBTk_3DBorderColor\fR returns the XColor structure +that will be used for flat surfaces drawn for its \fIborder\fR +argument by procedures like \fBTk_Fill3DRectangle\fR. +The return value corresponds to the \fIcolorName\fR passed to +\fBTk_Get3DBorder\fR. +The XColor, and its associated pixel value, will remain allocated +as long as \fIborder\fR exists. +.PP +The procedure \fBTk_3DBorderGC\fR returns one of the X graphics contexts +that are used to draw the border. +The argument \fIwhich\fR selects which one of the three possible GC's: +TK_3D_FLAT_GC returns the context used for flat surfaces, +TK_3D_LIGHT_GC returns the context for light shadows, +and TK_3D_DARK_GC returns the context for dark shadows. +.PP +When a border is no longer needed, \fBTk_Free3DBorder\fR should +be called to release the resources associated with the border. +There should be exactly one call to \fBTk_Free3DBorder\fR for +each call to \fBTk_Get3DBorder\fR. + +.SH KEYWORDS +3D, background, border, color, depressed, illumination, polygon, raised, shadow, three-dimensional effect diff --git a/doc/BindTable.3 b/doc/BindTable.3 new file mode 100644 index 0000000..bbcb64d --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/BindTable.3 @@ -0,0 +1,157 @@ +'\" +'\" Copyright (c) 1994 The Regents of the University of California. +'\" Copyright (c) 1994-1996 Sun Microsystems, Inc. +'\" +'\" See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and redistribution +'\" of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES. +'\" +'\" SCCS: @(#) BindTable.3 1.5 96/03/26 18:03:09 +'\" +.so man.macros +.TH Tk_CreateBindingTable 3 4.0 Tk "Tk Library Procedures" +.BS +.SH NAME +Tk_CreateBindingTable, Tk_DeleteBindingTable, Tk_CreateBinding, Tk_DeleteBinding, Tk_GetBinding, Tk_GetAllBindings, Tk_DeleteAllBindings, Tk_BindEvent \- invoke scripts in response to X events +.SH SYNOPSIS +.nf +\fB#include \fR +.sp +Tk_BindingTable +\fBTk_CreateBindingTable(\fIinterp\fB)\fR +.sp +\fBTk_DeleteBindingTable(\fIbindingTable\fB)\fR +.sp +unsigned long +\fBTk_CreateBinding(\fIinterp, bindingTable, object, eventString, script, append\fB)\fR +.sp +int +\fBTk_DeleteBinding(\fIinterp, bindingTable, object, eventString\fB)\fR +.sp +char * +\fBTk_GetBinding(\fIinterp, bindingTable, object, eventString\fB)\fR +.sp +\fBTk_GetAllBindings(\fIinterp, bindingTable, object\fB)\fR +.sp +\fBTk_DeleteAllBindings(\fIbindingTable, object\fB)\fR +.sp +\fBTk_BindEvent(\fIbindingTable, eventPtr, tkwin, numObjects, objectPtr\fB)\fR +.SH ARGUMENTS +.AS Tk_BindingTable bindingTable +.AP Tcl_Interp *interp in +Interpreter to use when invoking bindings in binding table.

within +this table, an object is either a pointer to the internal structure for a +canvas item or a Tk_Uid identifying a tag. +.PP +The procedure \fBTk_CreateBindingTable\fR creates a new binding +table and associates \fIinterp\fR with it (when bindings in the +table are invoked, the scripts will be evaluated in \fIinterp\fR). +\fBTk_CreateBindingTable\fR returns a token for the table, which +must be used in calls to other procedures such as \fBTk_CreateBinding\fR +or \fBTk_BindEvent\fR. +.PP +\fBTk_DeleteBindingTable\fR frees all of the state associated +with a binding table. +Once it returns the caller should not use the \fIbindingTable\fR +token again. +.PP +\fBTk_CreateBinding\fR adds a new binding to an existing table. +The \fIobject\fR argument identifies the object with which the +binding is to be associated, and it may be any one-word value. +Typically it is a pointer to a string or data structure. +The \fIeventString\fR argument identifies the event or sequence +of events for the binding; see the documentation for the +\fBbind\fR command for a description of its format. +\fIscript\fR is the Tcl script to be evaluated when the binding +triggers. +\fIappend\fR indicates what to do if there already +exists a binding for \fIobject\fR and \fIeventString\fR: if \fIappend\fR +is zero then \fIscript\fR replaces the old script; if \fIappend\fR +is non-zero then the new script is appended to the old one. +\fBTk_CreateBinding\fR returns an X event mask for all the events +associated with the bindings. +This information may be useful to invoke \fBXSelectInput\fR to +select relevant events, or to disallow the use of certain events +in bindings. +If an error occurred while creating the binding (e.g., \fIeventString\fR +refers to a non-existent event), then 0 is returned and an error +message is left in \fIinterp->result\fR. +.PP +\fBTk_DeleteBinding\fR removes from \fIbindingTable\fR the +binding given by \fIobject\fR and \fIeventString\fR, if +such a binding exists. +\fBTk_DeleteBinding\fR always returns TCL_OK. +In some cases it may reset \fIinterp->result\fR to the default +empty value. +.PP +\fBTk_GetBinding\fR returns a pointer to the script associated +with \fIeventString\fR and \fIobject\fR in \fIbindingTable\fR. +If no such binding exists then NULL is returned and an error +message is left in \fIinterp->result\fR. +.PP +\fBTk_GetAllBindings\fR returns in \fIinterp->result\fR a list +of all the event strings for which there are bindings in +\fIbindingTable\fR associated with \fIobject\fR. +If there are no bindings for \fIobject\fR then an empty +string is returned in \fIinterp->result\fR. +.PP +\fBTk_DeleteAllBindings\fR deletes all of the bindings in +\fIbindingTable\fR that are associated with \fIobject\fR. +.PP +\fBTk_BindEvent\fR is called to process an event. +It makes a copy of the event in an internal history list associated +with the binding table, then it checks for bindings that match +the event. +\fBTk_BindEvent\fR processes each of the objects pointed to +by \fIobjectPtr\fR in turn. +For each object, it finds all the bindings that match the current +event history, selects the most specific binding using the priority +mechanism described in the documentation for \fBbind\fR, +and invokes the script for that binding. +If there are no matching bindings for a particular object, then +the object is skipped. +\fBTk_BindEvent\fR continues through all of the objects, handling +exceptions such as errors, \fBbreak\fR, and \fBcontinue\fR as +described in the documentation for \fBbind\fR. + +.SH KEYWORDS +binding, event, object, script diff --git a/doc/CanvPsY.3 b/doc/CanvPsY.3 new file mode 100644 index 0000000..017b762 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/CanvPsY.3 @@ -0,0 +1,122 @@ +'\" +'\" Copyright (c) 1994-1996 Sun Microsystems, Inc. +'\" +'\" See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and redistribution +'\" of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES. +'\" +'\" SCCS: @(#) CanvPsY.3 1.6 96/03/26 18:03:26 +'\" +.so man.macros +.TH Tk_CanvasPsY 3 4.0 Tk "Tk Library Procedures" +.BS +.SH NAME +Tk_CanvasPsY, Tk_CanvasPsBitmap, Tk_CanvasPsColor, Tk_CanvasPsFont, Tk_CanvasPsPath, Tk_CanvasPsStipple \- utility procedures for generating Postscript for canvases +.SH SYNOPSIS +.nf +\fB#include \fR +.sp +double +\fBTk_CanvasPsY\fR(\fIcanvas, canvasY\fR) +.sp +int +\fBTk_CanvasPsBitmap\fR(\fIinterp, canvas, bitmap, x, y, width, height\fR) +.sp +int +\fBTk_CanvasPsColor\fR(\fIinterp, canvas, colorPtr\fR) +.sp +int +\fBTk_CanvasPsFont\fR(\fIinterp, canvas, fontStructPtr\fR) +.sp +\fBTk_CanvasPsPath\fR(\fIinterp, canvas, coordPtr, numPoints\fR) +.sp +int +\fBTk_CanvasPsStipple\fR(\fIinterp, canvas, bitmap\fR) +.SH ARGUMENTS +.AS "unsigned int" *fontStructPtr +.AP Tk_Canvas canvas in +A token that identifies a canvas widget for which Postscript is +being generated. +.AP double canvasY in +Y-coordinate in the space of the canvas. +.AP Tcl_Interp *interp in/out +A Tcl interpreter;

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}, + ... +};

this is not necessarily the same as \fIselItemPtr\fR. +\fIselectAnchor\fR is an index that identifies the anchor position +within \fIanchorItemPtr\fR. +\fIinsertBorder\fR contains a Tk_3DBorder to use when drawing the +insertion cursor; \fIinsertWidth\fR gives the total width of the +insertion cursor in pixels, and \fIinsertBorderWidth\fR gives the +width of the raised border around the insertion cursor. +\fIfocusItemPtr\fR identifies the item that currently has the input +focus, or NULL if there is no such item. +\fIgotFocus\fR is 1 if the canvas widget has the input focus and +0 otherwise. +\fIcursorOn\fR is 1 if the insertion cursor should be drawn in +\fIfocusItemPtr\fR and 0 if it should not be drawn; this field +is toggled on and off by Tk to make the cursor blink. +.PP +The structure returned by \fBTk_CanvasGetTextInfo\fR +is shared between Tk and the type managers; typically the type manager +calls \fBTk_CanvasGetTextInfo\fR once when an item is created and +then saves the pointer in the item's record. +Tk will update information in the Tk_CanvasTextInfo;

If NULL, then information is returned for all available +options. +.AP Display *display in +Display containing widget whose record is being freed; needed in +order to free up resources. +.BE +.SH DESCRIPTION +.PP +\fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR is called to configure various aspects of a +widget, such as colors, fonts, border width, etc. +It is intended as a convenience procedure to reduce the amount +of code that must be written in individual widget managers to +handle configuration information. +It is typically +invoked when widgets are created, and again when the \fBconfigure\fR +command is invoked for a widget. +Although intended primarily for widgets, \fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR +can be used in other situations where \fIargc-argv\fR information +is to be used to fill in a record structure, such as configuring +graphical elements for a canvas widget or entries of a menu. +.PP +\fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR processes +a table specifying the configuration options that are supported +(\fIspecs\fR) and a collection of command-line arguments (\fIargc\fR and +\fIargv\fR) to fill in fields of a record (\fIwidgRec\fR). +It uses the option database and defaults specified in \fIspecs\fR +to fill in fields of \fIwidgRec\fR that are not specified in \fIargv\fR. +\fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR normally returns the value TCL_OK; in this +case it does not modify \fIinterp\fR. +If an error +occurs then TCL_ERROR is returned and \fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR will +leave an error message in \fIinterp->result\fR in the standard Tcl +fashion. +In the event of an error return, some of the fields of \fIwidgRec\fR +could already have been set, if configuration information for them +was successfully processed before the error occurred. +The other fields will be set to reasonable initial values so that +\fBTk_FreeOptions\fR can be called for cleanup. +.PP +The \fIspecs\fR array specifies the kinds of configuration options +expected by the widget. Each of its entries specifies one configuration +option and has the following structure: +.CS +typedef struct { + int \fItype\fR; + char *\fIargvName\fR; + char *\fIdbName\fR; + char *\fIdbClass\fR; + char *\fIdefValue\fR; + int \fIoffset\fR; + int \fIspecFlags\fR; + Tk_CustomOption *\fIcustomPtr\fR; +} Tk_ConfigSpec; +.CE +The \fItype\fR field indicates what type of configuration option this is +(e.g. TK_CONFIG_COLOR for a color value, or TK_CONFIG_INT for +an integer value). The \fItype\fR field indicates how to use the +value of the option (more on this below). +The \fIargvName\fR field is a string such as ``\-font'' or ``\-bg'', +which is compared with the values in \fIargv\fR (if \fIargvName\fR is +NULL it means this is a grouped entry; see GROUPED ENTRIES below). The +\fIdbName\fR and \fIdbClass\fR fields are used to look up a value +for this option in the option database. The \fIdefValue\fR field +specifies a default value for this configuration option if no +value is specified in either \fIargv\fR or the option database. +\fIOffset\fR indicates where in \fIwidgRec\fR to store information +about this option, and \fIspecFlags\fR contains additional information +to control the processing of this configuration option (see FLAGS +below). +The last field, \fIcustomPtr\fR, is only used if \fItype\fR is +TK_CONFIG_CUSTOM; see CUSTOM OPTION TYPES below. +.PP +\fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR first processes \fIargv\fR to see which +(if any) configuration options are specified there. \fIArgv\fR +must contain an even number of fields; the first of each pair +of fields must match the \fIargvName\fR of some entry in \fIspecs\fR +(unique abbreviations are acceptable), +and the second field of the pair contains the value for that +configuration option. If there are entries in \fIspec\fR for which +there were no matching entries in \fIargv\fR, +\fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR uses the \fIdbName\fR and \fIdbClass\fR +fields of the \fIspecs\fR entry to probe the option database; if +a value is found, then it is used as the value for the option. +Finally, if no entry is found in the option database, the +\fIdefValue\fR field of the \fIspecs\fR entry is used as the +value for the configuration option. If the \fIdefValue\fR is +NULL, or if the TK_CONFIG_DONT_SET_DEFAULT bit is set in +\fIflags\fR, then there is no default value and this \fIspecs\fR entry +will be ignored if no value is specified in \fIargv\fR or the +option database. +.PP +Once a string value has been determined for a configuration option, +\fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR translates the string value into a more useful +form, such as a color if \fItype\fR is TK_CONFIG_COLOR or an integer +if \fItype\fR is TK_CONFIG_INT. This value is then stored in the +record pointed to by \fIwidgRec\fR. This record is assumed to +contain information relevant to the manager of the widget; its exact +type is unknown to \fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR. The \fIoffset\fR field +of each \fIspecs\fR entry indicates where in \fIwidgRec\fR to store +the information about this configuration option. You should use the +\fBTk_Offset\fR macro to generate \fIoffset\fR values (see below for +a description of \fBTk_Offset\fR). The location indicated by +\fIwidgRec\fR and \fIoffset\fR will be referred to as the ``target'' +in the descriptions below. +.PP +The \fItype\fR field of each entry in \fIspecs\fR determines what +to do with the string value of that configuration option. The +legal values for \fItype\fR, and the corresponding actions, are: +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_ACTIVE_CURSOR\fR +The value +must be an ASCII string identifying a cursor in a form +suitable for passing to \fBTk_GetCursor\fR. +The value is converted to a \fBTk_Cursor\fR by calling +\fBTk_GetCursor\fR and the result is stored in the target. +In addition, the resulting cursor is made the active cursor +for \fItkwin\fR by calling \fBXDefineCursor\fR. +If TK_CONFIG_NULL_OK is specified in \fIspecFlags\fR then the value +may be an empty string, in which case the target and \fItkwin\fR's +active cursor will be set to \fBNone\fR. +If the previous value of the target +wasn't \fBNone\fR, then it is freed by passing it to \fBTk_FreeCursor\fR. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_ANCHOR\fR +The value must be an ASCII string identifying an anchor point in one of the ways +accepted by \fBTk_GetAnchor\fR. +The string is converted to a \fBTk_Anchor\fR by calling +\fBTk_GetAnchor\fR and the result is stored in the target. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_BITMAP\fR +The value must be an ASCII string identifying a bitmap in a form +suitable for passing to \fBTk_GetBitmap\fR. The value is converted +to a \fBPixmap\fR by calling \fBTk_GetBitmap\fR and the result +is stored in the target. +If TK_CONFIG_NULL_OK is specified in \fIspecFlags\fR then the value +may be an empty string, in which case the target is set to \fBNone\fR. +If the previous value of the target +wasn't \fBNone\fR, then it is freed by passing it to \fBTk_FreeBitmap\fR. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_BOOLEAN\fR +The value must be an ASCII string specifying a boolean value. Any +of the values ``true'', ``yes'', ``on'', or ``1'', +or an abbreviation of one of these values, means true; +any of the values ``false'', ``no'', ``off'', or ``0'', or an abbreviation of +one of these values, means false. +The target is expected to be an integer; for true values it will +be set to 1 and for false values it will be set to 0. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_BORDER\fR +The value must be an ASCII string identifying a border color in a form +suitable for passing to \fBTk_Get3DBorder\fR. The value is converted +to a (\fBTk_3DBorder *\fR) by calling \fBTk_Get3DBorder\fR and the result +is stored in the target. +If TK_CONFIG_NULL_OK is specified in \fIspecFlags\fR then the value +may be an empty string, in which case the target will be set to NULL. +If the previous value of the target +wasn't NULL, then it is freed by passing it to \fBTk_Free3DBorder\fR. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_CAP_STYLE\fR +The value must be +an ASCII string identifying a cap style in one of the ways +accepted by \fBTk_GetCapStyle\fR. +The string is converted to an integer value corresponding +to the cap style by calling +\fBTk_GetCapStyle\fR and the result is stored in the target. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_COLOR\fR +The value must be an ASCII string identifying a color in a form +suitable for passing to \fBTk_GetColor\fR. The value is converted +to an (\fBXColor *\fR) by calling \fBTk_GetColor\fR and the result +is stored in the target. +If TK_CONFIG_NULL_OK is specified in \fIspecFlags\fR then the value +may be an empty string, in which case the target will be set to \fBNone\fR. +If the previous value of the target +wasn't NULL, then it is freed by passing it to \fBTk_FreeColor\fR. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_CURSOR\fR +This option is identical to \fBTK_CONFIG_ACTIVE_CURSOR\fR except +that the new cursor is not made the active one for \fItkwin\fR. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_CUSTOM\fR +This option allows applications to define new option types. +The \fIcustomPtr\fR field of the entry points to a structure +defining the new option type. +See the section CUSTOM OPTION TYPES below for details. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_DOUBLE\fR +The value must be an ASCII floating-point number in +the format accepted by \fBstrtol\fR. The string is converted +to a \fBdouble\fR value, and the value is stored in the +target. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_END\fR +Marks the end of the table. The last entry in \fIspecs\fR +must have this type; all of its other fields are ignored and it +will never match any arguments. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_FONT\fR +The value must be an ASCII string identifying a font in a form +suitable for passing to \fBTk_GetFontStruct\fR. The value is converted +to an (\fBXFontStruct *\fR) by calling \fBTk_GetFontStruct\fR and the result +is stored in the target. +If TK_CONFIG_NULL_OK is specified in \fIspecFlags\fR then the value +may be an empty string, in which case the target will be set to NULL. +If the previous value of the target +wasn't NULL, then it is freed by passing it to \fBTk_FreeFontStruct\fR. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_INT\fR +The value must be an ASCII integer string +in the format accepted by \fBstrtol\fR (e.g. ``0'' +and ``0x'' prefixes may be used to specify octal or hexadecimal +numbers, respectively). The string is converted to an integer +value and the integer is stored in the target. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_JOIN_STYLE\fR +The value must be +an ASCII string identifying a join style in one of the ways +accepted by \fBTk_GetJoinStyle\fR. +The string is converted to an integer value corresponding +to the join style by calling +\fBTk_GetJoinStyle\fR and the result is stored in the target. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_JUSTIFY\fR +The value must be +an ASCII string identifying a justification method in one of the +ways accepted by \fBTk_GetJustify\fR. +The string is converted to a \fBTk_Justify\fR by calling +\fBTk_GetJustify\fR and the result is stored in the target. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_MM\fR +The value must specify a screen distance in one of the forms acceptable +to \fBTk_GetScreenMM\fR. +The string is converted to double-precision floating-point distance +in millimeters and the value is stored in the target. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_PIXELS\fR +The value must specify screen units in one of the forms acceptable +to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR. +The string is converted to an integer distance in pixels and the +value is stored in the target. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_RELIEF\fR +The value must be an ASCII string identifying a relief in a form +suitable for passing to \fBTk_GetRelief\fR. The value is converted +to an integer relief value by calling \fBTk_GetRelief\fR and the result +is stored in the target. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_STRING\fR +A copy +of the value is made by allocating memory space with +\fBmalloc\fR and copying the value into the dynamically-allocated +space. A pointer to the new string is stored in the target. +If TK_CONFIG_NULL_OK is specified in \fIspecFlags\fR then the value +may be an empty string, in which case the target will be set to NULL. +If the previous value of the target wasn't NULL, then it is +freed by passing it to \fBfree\fR. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_SYNONYM\fR +This \fItype\fR value identifies special entries in \fIspecs\fR that +are synonyms for other entries. If an \fIargv\fR value matches the +\fIargvName\fR of a TK_CONFIG_SYNONYM entry, the entry isn't used +directly. Instead, \fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR searches \fIspecs\fR +for another entry whose \fIargvName\fR is the same as the \fIdbName\fR +field in the TK_CONFIG_SYNONYM entry; this new entry is used just +as if its \fIargvName\fR had matched the \fIargv\fR value. The +synonym mechanism allows multiple \fIargv\fR values to be used for +a single configuration option, such as ``\-background'' and ``\-bg''. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_UID\fR +The value is translated to a \fBTk_Uid\fR +(by passing it to \fBTk_GetUid\fR). The resulting value +is stored in the target. +If TK_CONFIG_NULL_OK is specified in \fIspecFlags\fR and the value +is an empty string then the target will be set to NULL. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_WINDOW\fR +The value must be a window path name. It is translated to a +\fBTk_Window\fR token and the token is stored in the target. + +.SH "GROUPED ENTRIES" +.PP +In some cases it is useful to generate multiple resources from +a single configuration value. For example, a color name might +be used both to generate the background color for a widget (using +TK_CONFIG_COLOR) and to generate a 3-D border to draw around the +widget (using TK_CONFIG_BORDER). In cases like this it is possible +to specify that several consecutive entries in \fIspecs\fR are to +be treated as a group. The first entry is used to determine a value +(using its \fIargvName\fR, \fIdbName\fR, +\fIdbClass\fR, and \fIdefValue\fR fields). The value will be processed +several times (one for each entry in the group), generating multiple +different resources and modifying multiple targets within \fIwidgRec\fR. +Each of the entries after the first must have a NULL value in its +\fIargvName\fR field; this indicates that the entry is to be grouped +with the entry that precedes it. Only the \fItype\fR and \fIoffset\fR +fields are used from these follow-on entries. + +.SH "FLAGS" +.PP +The \fIflags\fR argument passed to \fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR is used +in conjunction with the \fIspecFlags\fR fields in the entries of \fIspecs\fR +to provide additional control over the processing of configuration +options. These values are used in three different ways as +described below. +.PP +First, if the \fIflags\fR argument to \fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR has +the TK_CONFIG_ARGV_ONLY bit set (i.e., \fIflags\fR | TK_CONFIG_ARGV_ONLY != 0), +then the option database and +\fIdefValue\fR fields are not used. In this case, if an entry in +\fIspecs\fR doesn't match a field in \fIargv\fR then nothing happens: +the corresponding target isn't modified. This feature is useful +when the goal is to modify certain configuration options while +leaving others in their current state, such as when a \fBconfigure\fR +widget command is being processed. +.PP +Second, the \fIspecFlags\fR field of an entry in \fIspecs\fR may be used +to control the processing of that entry. Each \fIspecFlags\fR +field may consists of an OR-ed combination of the following values: +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_COLOR_ONLY\fR +If this bit is set then the entry will only be considered if the +display for \fItkwin\fR has more than one bit plane. If the display +is monochromatic then this \fIspecs\fR entry will be ignored. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_MONO_ONLY\fR +If this bit is set then the entry will only be considered if the +display for \fItkwin\fR has exactly one bit plane. If the display +is not monochromatic then this \fIspecs\fR entry will be ignored. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_NULL_OK\fR +This bit is only relevant for some types of entries (see the +descriptions of the various entry types above). +If this bit is set, it indicates that an empty string value +for the field is acceptable and if it occurs then the +target should be set to NULL or \fBNone\fR, depending +on the type of the target. +This flag is typically used to allow a +feature to be turned off entirely, e.g. set a cursor value to +\fBNone\fR so that a window simply inherits its parent's cursor. +If this bit isn't set then empty strings are processed as strings, +which generally results in an error. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_DONT_SET_DEFAULT\fR +If this bit is one, it means that the \fIdefValue\fR field of the +entry should only be used for returning the default value in +\fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR. +In calls to \fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR no default will be supplied +for entries with this flag set; it is assumed that the +caller has already supplied a default value in the target location. +This flag provides a performance optimization where it is expensive +to process the default string: the client can compute the default +once, save the value, and provide it before calling +\fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR. +.TP +\fBTK_CONFIG_OPTION_SPECIFIED\fR +This bit is set and cleared by \fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR. Whenever +\fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR returns, this bit will be set in all the +entries where a value was specified in \fIargv\fR. +It will be zero in all other entries. +This bit provides a way for clients to determine which values +actually changed in a call to \fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR. +.PP +The TK_CONFIG_MONO_ONLY and TK_CONFIG_COLOR_ONLY flags are typically +used to specify different default values for +monochrome and color displays. This is done by creating two +entries in \fIspecs\fR that are identical except for their +\fIdefValue\fR and \fIspecFlags\fR fields. One entry should have +the value TK_CONFIG_MONO_ONLY in its \fIspecFlags\fR and the +default value for monochrome displays in its \fIdefValue\fR; the +other entry entry should have the value TK_CONFIG_COLOR_ONLY in +its \fIspecFlags\fR and the appropriate \fIdefValue\fR for +color displays. +.PP +Third, it is possible to use \fIflags\fR and \fIspecFlags\fR +together to selectively disable some entries. This feature is +not needed very often. It is useful in cases where several +similar kinds of widgets are implemented in one place. It allows +a single \fIspecs\fR table to be created with all the configuration +options for all the widget types. When processing a particular +widget type, only entries relevant to that type will be used. This +effect is achieved by setting the high-order bits (those in positions +equal to or greater than TK_CONFIG_USER_BIT) in \fIspecFlags\fR +values or in \fIflags\fR. In order for a particular entry in +\fIspecs\fR to be used, its high-order bits must match exactly +the high-order bits of the \fIflags\fR value passed to +\fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR. If a \fIspecs\fR table is being used +for N different widget types, then N of the high-order bits will +be used. Each \fIspecs\fR entry will have one of more of those +bits set in its \fIspecFlags\fR field to indicate the widget types +for which this entry is valid. When calling \fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR, +\fIflags\fR will have a single one of these bits set to select the +entries for the desired widget type. For a working example of +this feature, see the code in tkButton.c. + +.SH TK_OFFSET +.PP +The \fBTk_Offset\fR macro is provided as a safe way of generating +the \fIoffset\fR values for entries in Tk_ConfigSpec structures. +It takes two arguments: the name of a type of record, and the +name of a field in that record. It returns the byte offset of +the named field in records of the given type. + +.SH TK_CONFIGUREINFO +.PP +The \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR procedure may be used to obtain +information about one or all of the options for a given widget. +Given a token for a window (\fItkwin\fR), a table describing the +configuration options for a class of widgets (\fIspecs\fR), a +pointer to a widget record containing the current information for +a widget (\fIwidgRec\fR), and a NULL \fIargvName\fR argument, +\fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR generates a string describing all of the +configuration options for the window. The string is placed +in \fIinterp->result\fR. Under normal circumstances +it returns TCL_OK; if an error occurs then it returns TCL_ERROR +and \fIinterp->result\fR contains an error message. +.PP +If \fIargvName\fR is NULL, then the value left in +\fIinterp->result\fR by \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR +consists of a list of one or more entries, each of which describes +one configuration option (i.e. one entry in \fIspecs\fR). Each +entry in the list will contain either two or five values. If the +corresponding entry in \fIspecs\fR has type TK_CONFIG_SYNONYM, then +the list will contain two values: the \fIargvName\fR for the entry +and the \fIdbName\fR (synonym name). Otherwise the list will contain +five values: \fIargvName\fR, \fIdbName\fR, \fIdbClass\fR, \fIdefValue\fR, +and current value. The current value is computed from the appropriate +field of \fIwidgRec\fR by calling procedures like \fBTk_NameOfColor\fR. +.PP +If the \fIargvName\fR argument to \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR is non-NULL, +then it indicates a single option, and information is returned only +for that option. The string placed in \fIinterp->result\fR will be +a list containing two or five values as described above; this will +be identical to the corresponding sublist that would have been returned +if \fIargvName\fR had been NULL. +.PP +The \fIflags\fR argument to \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR is used to restrict +the \fIspecs\fR entries to consider, just as for \fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR. + +.SH TK_CONFIGUREVALUE +.PP +\fBTk_ConfigureValue\fR takes arguments similar to \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR; +instead of returning a list of values, it just returns the current value +of the option given by \fIargvName\fR (\fIargvName\fR must not be NULL). +The value is returned in \fIinterp->result\fR and TCL_OK is +normally returned as the procedure's result. +If an error occurs in \fBTk_ConfigureValue\fR (e.g., \fIargvName\fR is +not a valid option name), TCL_ERROR is returned and an error message +is left in \fIinterp->result\fR. +This procedure is typically called to implement \fBcget\fR widget +commands. + +.SH TK_FREEOPTIONS +.PP +The \fBTk_FreeOptions\fR procedure may be invoked during widget cleanup +to release all of the resources associated with configuration options. +It scans through \fIspecs\fR and for each entry corresponding to a +resource that must be explicitly freed (e.g. those with +type TK_CONFIG_COLOR), it frees the resource in the widget record. +If the field in the widget record doesn't refer to a resource (e.g. +it contains a null pointer) then no resource is freed for that +entry. +After freeing a resource, \fBTk_FreeOptions\fR sets the +corresponding field of the widget record to null. + +.SH "CUSTOM OPTION TYPES" +.PP +Applications can extend the built-in configuration types with additional +configuration types by writing procedures to parse and print options +of the a type and creating a structure pointing to those procedures: +.CS +typedef struct Tk_CustomOption { + Tk_OptionParseProc *\fIparseProc\fR; + Tk_OptionPrintProc *\fIprintProc\fR; + ClientData \fIclientData\fR; +} Tk_CustomOption; + +typedef int Tk_OptionParseProc( + ClientData \fIclientData\fR, + Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR, + Tk_Window \fItkwin\fR, + char *\fIvalue\fR, + char *\fIwidgRec\fR, + int \fIoffset\fR); + +typedef char *Tk_OptionPrintProc( + ClientData \fIclientData\fR, + Tk_Window \fItkwin\fR, + char *\fIwidgRec\fR, + int \fIoffset\fR, + Tcl_FreeProc **\fIfreeProcPtr\fR); +.CE +The Tk_CustomOption structure contains three fields, which are pointers +to the two procedures and a \fIclientData\fR value to be passed to those +procedures when they are invoked. The \fIclientData\fR value typically +points to a structure containing information that is needed by the +procedures when they are parsing and printing options. +.PP +The \fIparseProc\fR procedure is invoked by +\fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR to parse a string and store the resulting +value in the widget record. +The \fIclientData\fR argument is a copy of the \fIclientData\fR +field in the Tk_CustomOption structure. +The \fIinterp\fR argument points to a Tcl interpreter used for +error reporting. \fITkwin\fR is a copy of the \fItkwin\fR argument +to \fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR. The \fIvalue\fR argument is a string +describing the value for the option; it could have been specified +explicitly in the call to \fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR or it could +come from the option database or a default. +\fIValue\fR will never be a null pointer but it may point to +an empty string. +\fIRecordPtr\fR is the same as the \fIwidgRec\fR argument to +\fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR; it points to the start of the widget +record to modify. +The last argument, \fIoffset\fR, gives the offset in bytes from the start +of the widget record to the location where the option value is to +be placed. The procedure should translate the string to whatever +form is appropriate for the option and store the value in the widget +record. It should normally return TCL_OK, but if an error occurs +in translating the string to a value then it should return TCL_ERROR +and store an error message in \fIinterp->result\fR. +.PP +The \fIprintProc\fR procedure is called +by \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR to produce a string value describing an +existing option. +Its \fIclientData\fR, \fItkwin\fR, \fIwidgRec\fR, and \fIoffset\fR +arguments all have the same meaning as for Tk_OptionParseProc +procedures. +The \fIprintProc\fR procedure should examine the option whose value +is stored at \fIoffset\fR in \fIwidgRec\fR, produce a string describing +that option, and return a pointer to the string. +If the string is stored in dynamically-allocated memory, then +the procedure must set \fI*freeProcPtr\fR to the address of +a procedure to call to free the string's memory; \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR +will call this procedure when it is finished with the string. +If the result string is stored in static memory then \fIprintProc\fR +need not do anything with the \fIfreeProcPtr\fR argument. +.PP +Once \fIparseProc\fR and \fIprintProc\fR have been defined and a +Tk_CustomOption structure has been created for them, options of this +new type may be manipulated with Tk_ConfigSpec entries whose \fItype\fR +fields are TK_CONFIG_CUSTOM and whose \fIcustomPtr\fR fields point +to the Tk_CustomOption structure. + +.SH EXAMPLES +.PP +Although the explanation of \fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR is fairly +complicated, its actual use is pretty straightforward. +The easiest way to get started is to copy the code +from an existing widget. +The library implementation of frames +(tkFrame.c) has a simple configuration table, and the library +implementation of buttons (tkButton.c) has a much more complex +table that uses many of the fancy \fIspecFlags\fR mechanisms. + +.SH KEYWORDS +anchor, bitmap, boolean, border, cap style, color, configuration options, +cursor, custom, double, font, integer, join style, justify, millimeters, +pixels, relief, synonym, uid diff --git a/doc/ConfigWind.3 b/doc/ConfigWind.3 new file mode 100644 index 0000000..bbfd929 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/ConfigWind.3 @@ -0,0 +1,153 @@ +'\" +'\" Copyright (c) 1990-1993 The Regents of the University of California. +'\" Copyright (c) 1994-1996 Sun Microsystems, Inc. +'\" +'\" See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and redistribution +'\" of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES. +'\" +'\" SCCS: @(#) ConfigWind.3 1.27 96/08/27 13:21:19 +'\" +.so man.macros +.TH Tk_ConfigureWindow 3 4.0 Tk "Tk Library Procedures" +.BS +.SH NAME +Tk_ConfigureWindow, Tk_MoveWindow, Tk_ResizeWindow, Tk_MoveResizeWindow, Tk_SetWindowBorderWidth, Tk_ChangeWindowAttributes, Tk_SetWindowBackground, Tk_SetWindowBackgroundPixmap, Tk_SetWindowBorder, Tk_SetWindowBorderPixmap, Tk_SetWindowColormap, Tk_DefineCursor, Tk_UndefineCursor \- change window configuration or attributes +.SH SYNOPSIS +.nf +\fB#include \fR +.sp +\fBTk_ConfigureWindow\fR(\fItkwin, valueMask, valuePtr\fR) +.sp +\fBTk_MoveWindow\fR(\fItkwin, x, y\fR) +.sp +\fBTk_ResizeWindow\fR(\fItkwin, width, height\fR) +.sp +\fBTk_MoveResizeWindow\fR(\fItkwin, x, y, width, height\fR) +.sp +\fBTk_SetWindowBorderWidth\fR(\fItkwin, borderWidth\fR) +.sp +\fBTk_ChangeWindowAttributes\fR(\fItkwin, valueMask, attsPtr\fR) +.sp +\fBTk_SetWindowBackground\fR(\fItkwin, pixel\fR) +.sp +\fBTk_SetWindowBackgroundPixmap\fR(\fItkwin, pixmap\fR) +.sp +\fBTk_SetWindowBorder\fR(\fItkwin, pixel\fR) +.sp +\fBTk_SetWindowBorderPixmap\fR(\fItkwin, pixmap\fR) +.sp +\fBTk_SetWindowColormap\fR(\fItkwin, colormap\fR) +.sp +\fBTk_DefineCursor\fR(\fItkwin, cursor\fR) +.sp +\fBTk_UndefineCursor\fR(\fItkwin\fR) +.SH ARGUMENTS +.AS XSetWindowAttributes borderWidth +.AP Tk_Window tkwin in +Token for window. +.AP "unsigned int" valueMask in +OR-ed mask of values like \fBCWX\fR or \fBCWBorderPixel\fR, +indicating which fields of \fI*valuePtr\fR or \fI*attsPtr\fR to use. +.AP XWindowChanges *valuePtr in +Points to a structure containing new values for the configuration +parameters selected by \fIvalueMask\fR.

Each +one of the above procedures calls the corresponding X procedure +and also saves the configuration information in Tk's local +structure for the window. This allows the information to +be retrieved quickly by the application (using macros such +as \fBTk_X\fR and \fBTk_Height\fR) without having to contact +the X server. In addition, if no X window has actually been +created for \fItkwin\fR yet, these procedures do not issue +X operations or cause event handlers to be invoked; they save +the information in Tk's local +structure for the window; when the window is created later, +the saved information will be used to configure the window. +.PP +See the X library documentation for details on what these +procedures do and how they use their arguments. +.PP +In the procedures \fBTk_ConfigureWindow\fR, \fBTk_MoveWindow\fR, +\fBTk_ResizeWindow\fR, \fBTk_MoveResizeWindow\fR, and +\fBTk_SetWindowBorderWidth\fR, +if \fItkwin\fR is an internal window then event handlers interested +in configure events are invoked immediately, before the procedure +returns. If \fItkwin\fR is a top-level window +then the event handlers will be invoked later, after X has seen +the request and returned an event for it. +.PP +Applications using Tk should never call procedures like +\fBXConfigureWindow\fR directly; they should always use the +corresponding Tk procedures. +.PP +The size and location of a window should only be modified by the +appropriate geometry manager for that window and never by a window +itself (but see \fBTk_MoveToplevelWindow\fR for moving a top-level +window). +.PP +You may not use \fBTk_ConfigureWindow\fR to change the +stacking order of a window (\fIvalueMask\fR may not contain the +\fBCWSibling\fR or \fBCWStackMode\fR bits). +To change the stacking order, use the procedure \fBTk_RestackWindow\fR. +.PP +The procedure \fBTk_SetWindowColormap\fR will automatically add +\fItkwin\fR to the \fBTK_COLORMAP_WINDOWS\fR property of its +nearest top-level ancestor if the new colormap is different from +that of \fItkwin\fR's parent and \fItkwin\fR isn't already in +the \fBTK_COLORMAP_WINDOWS\fR property. + +.SH BUGS +.PP +\fBTk_SetWindowBackgroundPixmap\fR and \fBTk_SetWindowBorderPixmap\fR +differ slightly from their Xlib counterparts in that the \fIpixmap\fR +argument may not necessarily be deleted immediately after calling +one of these procedures. This is because \fItkwin\fR's window +may not exist yet at the time of the call, in which case \fIpixmap\fR +is merely saved and used later when \fItkwin\fR's window is actually +created. If you wish to delete \fIpixmap\fR, then call +\fBTk_MakeWindowExist\fR first to be sure that \fItkwin\fR's window exists +and \fIpixmap\fR has been passed to the X server. +.PP +A similar problem occurs for the \fIcursor\fR argument passed to +\fBTk_DefineCursor\fR. The solution is the same as for pixmaps above: +call \fBTk_MakeWindowExist\fR before freeing the cursor. + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +Tk_MoveToplevelWindow, Tk_RestackWindow + +.SH KEYWORDS +attributes, border, color, configure, height, pixel, pixmap, width, window, x, y diff --git a/doc/CoordToWin.3 b/doc/CoordToWin.3 new file mode 100644 index 0000000..8773095 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/CoordToWin.3 @@ -0,0 +1,51 @@ +'\" +'\" Copyright (c) 1990-1993 The Regents of the University of California. +'\" Copyright (c) 1994-1996 Sun Microsystems, Inc. +'\" +'\" See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and redistribution +'\" of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES. +'\" +'\" SCCS: @(#) CoordToWin.3 1.9 96/03/26 18:05:14 +'\" +.so man.macros +.TH Tk_CoordsToWindow 3 "" Tk "Tk Library Procedures" +.BS +.SH NAME +Tk_CoordsToWindow \- Find window containing a point +.SH SYNOPSIS +.nf +\fB#include \fR +.sp +Tk_Window +\fBTk_CoordsToWindow\fR(\fIrootX, rootY, tkwin\fR) +.SH ARGUMENTS +.AS Tk_Window tkwin +.AP int rootX in +X-coordinate (in root window coordinates). +.AP int rootY in +Y-coordinate (in root window coordinates). +.AP Tk_Window tkwin in +Token for window that identifies application. +.BE + +.SH DESCRIPTION +.PP +\fBTk_CoordsToWindow\fR locates the window that contains a given point. +The point is specified in root coordinates with \fIrootX\fR and +\fIrootY\fR (if a virtual-root window manager is in use then +\fIrootX\fR and \fIrootY\fR are in the coordinate system of the +virtual root window). +The return value from the procedure is a token for the window that +contains the given point. +If the point is not in any window, or if the containing window +is not in the same application as \fItkwin\fR, then NULL is +returned. +.PP +The containing window is decided using the same rules that determine +which window contains the mouse cursor: if a parent and a child both +contain the point then the child gets preference, and if two siblings +both contain the point then the highest one in the stacking order +(i.e. the one that's visible on the screen) gets preference. + +.SH KEYWORDS +containing, coordinates, root window diff --git a/doc/CrtErrHdlr.3 b/doc/CrtErrHdlr.3 new file mode 100644 index 0000000..a28a77b --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/CrtErrHdlr.3 @@ -0,0 +1,145 @@ +'\" +'\" Copyright (c) 1990 The Regents of the University of California. +'\" Copyright (c) 1994-1996 Sun Microsystems, Inc. +'\" +'\" See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and redistribution +'\" of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES. +'\" +'\" SCCS: @(#) CrtErrHdlr.3 1.12 96/03/26 18:05:30 +'\" +.so man.macros +.TH Tk_CreateErrorHandler 3 "" Tk "Tk Library Procedures" +.BS +.SH NAME +Tk_CreateErrorHandler, Tk_DeleteErrorHandler \- handle X protocol errors +.SH SYNOPSIS +.nf +\fB#include \fR +.sp +Tk_ErrorHandler +\fBTk_CreateErrorHandler\fR(\fIdisplay, error, request, minor, proc, clientData\fR) +.sp +\fBTk_DeleteErrorHandler\fR(\fIhandler\fR) +.SH ARGUMENTS +.AS "Tk_ErrorHandler" clientData +.AP Display *display in +Display whose errors are to be handled. +.AP int error in +Match only error events with this value in the \fIerror_code\fR +field.

Typically, \fIclientData\fR points to a data +structure containing application-specific information that is +needed to deal with the error. \fIErrEventPtr\fR is +a pointer to the X error event. +The procedure \fIproc\fR should return an integer value. If it +returns 0 it means that \fIproc\fR handled the error completely and there +is no need to take any other action for the error. If it returns +non-zero it means \fIproc\fR was unable to handle the error. +.PP +If a value of NULL is specified for \fIproc\fR, all matching errors +will be ignored: this will produce the same result as if a procedure +had been specified that always returns 0. +.PP +If more than more than one handler matches a particular error, then +they are invoked in turn. The handlers will be invoked in reverse +order of creation: most recently declared handler first. +If any handler returns 0, then subsequent (older) handlers will +not be invoked. If no handler returns 0, then Tk invokes X'es +default error handler, which prints an error message and aborts the +program. If you wish to have a default handler that deals with errors +that no other handler can deal with, then declare it first. +.PP +The X documentation states that ``the error handler should not call +any functions (directly or indirectly) on the display that will +generate protocol requests or that will look for input events.'' +This restriction applies to handlers declared by \fBTk_CreateErrorHandler\fR; +disobey it at your own risk. +.PP +\fBTk_DeleteErrorHandler\fR may be called to delete a +previously-created error handler. The \fIhandler\fR argument +identifies the error handler, and should be a value returned by +a previous call to \fBTk_CreateEventHandler\fR. +.PP +A particular error handler applies to errors resulting +from protocol requests generated between +the call to \fBTk_CreateErrorHandler\fR and the call to +\fBTk_DeleteErrorHandler\fR. However, the actual callback +to \fIproc\fR may not occur until after the \fBTk_DeleteErrorHandler\fR +call, due to buffering in the client and server. +If an error event pertains to +a protocol request made just before calling \fBTk_DeleteErrorHandler\fR, +then the error event may not have been processed +before the \fBTk_DeleteErrorHandler\fR +call. When this situation arises, Tk will save information about +the handler and +invoke the handler's \fIproc\fR later when the error event +finally arrives. +If an application wishes to delete an error handler and know +for certain that all relevant errors have been processed, +it should first call \fBTk_DeleteErrorHandler\fR and then +call \fBXSync\fR; this will flush out any buffered requests and errors, +but will result in a performance penalty because +it requires communication to and from the X server. After the +\fBXSync\fR call Tk is guaranteed not to call any error +handlers deleted before the \fBXSync\fR call. +.PP +For the Tk error handling mechanism to work properly, it is essential +that application code never calls \fBXSetErrorHandler\fR directly; +applications should use only \fBTk_CreateErrorHandler\fR. + +.SH KEYWORDS +callback, error, event, handler diff --git a/doc/CrtGenHdlr.3 b/doc/CrtGenHdlr.3 new file mode 100644 index 0000000..df3eca5 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/CrtGenHdlr.3 @@ -0,0 +1,84 @@ +'\" +'\" Copyright (c) 1992-1994 The Regents of the University of California. +'\" Copyright (c) 1994-1996 Sun Microsystems, Inc. +'\" +'\" See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and redistribution +'\" of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES. +'\" +'\" SCCS: @(#) CrtGenHdlr.3 1.9 96/03/26 18:06:21 +'\" +.so man.macros +.TH Tk_CreateGenericHandler 3 "" Tk "Tk Library Procedures" +.BS +.SH NAME +Tk_CreateGenericHandler, Tk_DeleteGenericHandler \- associate procedure callback with all X events +.SH SYNOPSIS +.nf +\fB#include \fR +.sp +\fBTk_CreateGenericHandler\fR(\fIproc, clientData\fR) +.sp +\fBTk_DeleteGenericHandler\fR(\fIproc, clientData\fR) +.SH ARGUMENTS +.AS "Tk_GenericProc" clientData +.AP Tk_GenericProc *proc in +Procedure to invoke whenever any X event occurs on any display. +.AP ClientData clientData in +Arbitrary one-word value to pass to \fIproc\fR. +.BE + +.SH DESCRIPTION +.PP +\fBTk_CreateGenericHandler\fR arranges for \fIproc\fR to be +invoked in the future whenever any X event occurs.

+these are described in separate manual entries. + +.SH "DATA STRUCTURES" +.PP +A type manager consists of a collection of procedures that provide a +standard set of operations on items of that type. +The type manager deals with three kinds of data +structures. +The first data structure is a Tk_ItemType; it contains +information such as the name of the type and pointers to +the standard procedures implemented by the type manager: +.CS +typedef struct Tk_ItemType { + char *\fIname\fR; + int \fIitemSize\fR; + Tk_ItemCreateProc *\fIcreateProc\fR; + Tk_ConfigSpec *\fIconfigSpecs\fR; + Tk_ItemConfigureProc *\fIconfigProc\fR; + Tk_ItemCoordProc *\fIcoordProc\fR; + Tk_ItemDeleteProc *\fIdeleteProc\fR; + Tk_ItemDisplayProc *\fIdisplayProc\fR; + int \fIalwaysRedraw\fR; + Tk_ItemPointProc *\fIpointProc\fR; + Tk_ItemAreaProc *\fIareaProc\fR; + Tk_ItemPostscriptProc *\fIpostscriptProc\fR; + Tk_ItemScaleProc *\fIscaleProc\fR; + Tk_ItemTranslateProc *\fItranslateProc\fR; + Tk_ItemIndexProc *\fIindexProc\fR; + Tk_ItemCursorProc *\fIicursorProc\fR; + Tk_ItemSelectionProc *\fIselectionProc\fR; + Tk_ItemInsertProc *\fIinsertProc\fR; + Tk_ItemDCharsProc *\fIdCharsProc\fR; + Tk_ItemType *\fInextPtr\fR; +} Tk_ItemType; +.CE +.PP +The fields of a Tk_ItemType structure are described in more detail +later in this manual entry. +When \fBTk_CreateItemType\fR is called, its \fItypePtr\fR +argument must point to a structure with all of the fields initialized +except \fInextPtr\fR, which Tk sets to link all the types together +into a list. +The structure must be in permanent memory (either statically +allocated or dynamically allocated but never freed); Tk retains +a pointer to this structure. +.PP +The second data structure manipulated by a type manager is an +\fIitem record\fR. +For each item in a canvas there exists one item record. +All of the items of a given type generally have item records with +the same structure, but different types usually have different +formats for their item records. +The first part of each item record is a header with a standard structure +defined by Tk via the type Tk_Item; the rest of the item +record is defined by the type manager. +A type manager must define its item records with a Tk_Item as +the first field. +For example, the item record for bitmap items is defined as follows: +.CS +typedef struct BitmapItem { + Tk_Item \fIheader\fR; + double \fIx\fR, \fIy\fR; + Tk_Anchor \fIanchor\fR; + Pixmap \fIbitmap\fR; + XColor *\fIfgColor\fR; + XColor *\fIbgColor\fR; + GC \fIgc\fR; +} BitmapItem; +.CE +The \fIheader\fR substructure contains information used by Tk +to manage the item, such as its identifier, its tags, its type, +and its bounding box. +The fields starting with \fIx\fR belong to the type manager: +Tk will never read or write them. +The type manager should not need to read or write any of the +fields in the header except for four fields +whose names are \fIx1\fR, \fIy1\fR, \fIx2\fR, and \fIy2\fR. +These fields give a bounding box for the items using integer +canvas coordinates: the item should not cover any pixels +with x-coordinate lower than \fIx1\fR or y-coordinate +lower than \fIy1\fR, nor should it cover any pixels with +x-coordinate greater than or equal to \fIx2\fR or y-coordinate +greater than or equal to \fIy2\fR. +It is up to the type manager to keep the bounding box up to +date as the item is moved and reconfigured. +.PP +Whenever Tk calls a procedure in a type manager it passes in a pointer +to an item record. +The argument is always passed as a pointer to a Tk_Item; the type +manager will typically cast this into a pointer to its own specific +type, such as BitmapItem. +.PP +The third data structure used by type managers has type +Tk_Canvas; it serves as an opaque handle for the canvas widget +as a whole. +Type managers need not know anything about the contents of this +structure. +A Tk_Canvas handle is typically passed in to the +procedures of a type manager, and the type manager can pass the +handle back to library procedures such as Tk_CanvasTkwin +to fetch information about the canvas. + +.SH NAME +.PP +This section and the ones that follow describe each of the fields +in a Tk_ItemType structure in detail. +The \fIname\fR field provides a string name for the item type. +Once \fBTk_CreateImageType\fR returns, this name may be used +in \fBcreate\fR widget commands to create items of the new +type. +If there already existed an item type by this name then +the new item type replaces the old one. + +.SH ITEMSIZE +\fItypePtr->itemSize\fR gives the size in bytes of item records +of this type, including the Tk_Item header. +Tk uses this size to allocate memory space for items of the type. +All of the item records for a given type must have the same size. +If variable length fields are needed for an item (such as a list +of points for a polygon), the type manager can allocate a separate +object of variable length and keep a pointer to it in the item record. + +.SH CREATEPROC +.PP +\fItypePtr->createProc\fR points to a procedure for +Tk to call whenever a new item of this type is created. +\fItypePtr->createProc\fR must match the following prototype: +.CS +typedef int Tk_ItemCreateProc( + Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR, + Tk_Canvas \fIcanvas\fR, + Tk_Item *\fIitemPtr\fR, + int \fIargc\fR, + char **\fIargv\fR); +.CE +The \fIinterp\fR argument is the interpreter in which the canvas's +\fBcreate\fR widget command was invoked, and \fIcanvas\fR is a +handle for the canvas widget. +\fIitemPtr\fR is a pointer to a newly-allocated item of +size \fItypePtr->itemSize\fR. +Tk has already initialized the item's header (the first +\fBsizeof(Tk_ItemType)\fR bytes). +The \fIargc\fR and \fIargv\fR arguments describe all of the +arguments to the \fBcreate\fR command after the \fItype\fR +argument. +For example, in the widget command +.CS +\fB\&.c create rectangle 10 20 50 50 \-fill black\fR +.CE +\fIargc\fR will be \fB6\fR and \fIargv\fR[0] will contain the +string \fB10\fR. +.PP +\fIcreateProc\fR should use \fIargc\fR and \fIargv\fR to initialize +the type-specific parts of the item record and set an initial value +for the bounding box in the item's header. +It should return a standard Tcl completion code and leave an +error message in \fIinterp->result\fR if an error occurs. +If an error occurs Tk will free the item record, so \fIcreateProc\fR +must be sure to leave the item record in a clean state if it returns an error +(e.g., it must free any additional memory that it allocated for +the item). + +.SH CONFIGSPECS +.PP +Each type manager must provide a standard table describing its +configuration options, in a form suitable for use with +\fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR. +This table will normally be used by \fItypePtr->createProc\fR +and \fItypePtr->configProc\fR, but Tk also uses it directly +to retrieve option information in the \fBitemcget\fR and +\fBitemconfigure\fR widget commands. +\fItypePtr->configSpecs\fR must point to the configuration table +for this type. +Note: Tk provides a custom option type \fBtk_CanvasTagsOption\fR +for implementing the \fB\-tags\fR option; see an existing type +manager for an example of how to use it in \fIconfigSpecs\fR. + +.SH CONFIGPROC +.PP +\fItypePtr->configProc\fR is called by Tk whenever the +\fBitemconfigure\fR widget command is invoked to change the +configuration options for a canvas item. +This procedure must match the following prototype: +.CS +typedef int Tk_ItemConfigureProc( + Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR, + Tk_Canvas \fIcanvas\fR, + Tk_Item *\fIitemPtr\fR, + int \fIargc\fR, + char **\fIargv\fR, + int \fIflags\fR); +.CE +The \fIinterp\fR argument identifies the interpreter in which the +widget command was invoked, \fIcanvas\fR is a handle for the canvas +widget, and \fIitemPtr\fR is a pointer to the item being configured. +\fIargc\fR and \fIargv\fR contain the configuration options. For +example, if the following command is invoked: +.CS +\fB\&.c itemconfigure 2 \-fill red \-outline black\fR +.CE +\fIargc\fR is \fB4\fR and \fIargv\fR contains the strings \fB\-fill\fR +through \fBblack\fR. +\fIargc\fR will always be an even value. +The \fIflags\fR argument contains flags to pass to \fBTk_ConfigureWidget\fR; +currently this value is always TK_CONFIG_ARGV_ONLY when Tk +invokes \fItypePtr->configProc\fR, but the type manager's \fIcreateProc\fR +procedure will usually invoke \fIconfigProc\fR with different flag values. +.PP +\fItypePtr->configProc\fR returns a standard Tcl completion code and +leaves an error message in \fIinterp->result\fR if an error occurs. +It must update the item's bounding box to reflect the new configuration +options. + +.SH COORDPROC +.PP +\fItypePtr->coordProc\fR is invoked by Tk to implement the \fBcoords\fR +widget command for an item. +It must match the following prototype: +.CS +typedef int Tk_ItemCoordProc( + Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR, + Tk_Canvas \fIcanvas\fR, + Tk_Item *\fIitemPtr\fR, + int \fIargc\fR, + char **\fIargv\fR); +.CE +The arguments \fIinterp\fR, \fIcanvas\fR, and \fIitemPtr\fR +all have the standard meanings, and \fIargc\fR and \fIargv\fR +describe the coordinate arguments. +For example, if the following widget command is invoked: +.CS +\fB\&.c coords 2 30 90\fR +.CE +\fIargc\fR will be \fB2\fR and \fBargv\fR will contain the string values +\fB30\fR and \fB90\fR. +.PP +The \fIcoordProc\fR procedure should process the new coordinates, +update the item appropriately (e.g., it must reset the bounding +box in the item's header), and return a standard Tcl completion +code. +If an error occurs, \fIcoordProc\fR must leave an error message in +\fIinterp->result\fR. + +.SH DELETEPROC +.PP +\fItypePtr->deleteProc\fR is invoked by Tk to delete an item +and free any resources allocated to it. +It must match the following prototype: +.CS +typedef void Tk_ItemDeleteProc( + Tk_Canvas \fIcanvas\fR, + Tk_Item *\fIitemPtr\fR, + Display *\fIdisplay\fR); +.CE +The \fIcanvas\fR and \fIitemPtr\fR arguments have the usual +interpretations, and \fIdisplay\fR identifies the X display containing +the canvas. +\fIdeleteProc\fR must free up any resources allocated for the item, +so that Tk can free the item record. +\fIdeleteProc\fR should not actually free the item record; this will +be done by Tk when \fIdeleteProc\fR returns. + +.SH "DISPLAYPROC AND ALWAYSREDRAW" +.PP +\fItypePtr->displayProc\fR is invoked by Tk to redraw an item +on the screen. +It must match the following prototype: +.CS +typedef void Tk_ItemDisplayProc( + Tk_Canvas \fIcanvas\fR, + Tk_Item *\fIitemPtr\fR, + Display *\fIdisplay\fR, + Drawable \fIdst\fR, + int \fIx\fR, + int \fIy\fR, + int \fIwidth\fR, + int \fIheight\fR); +.CE +The \fIcanvas\fR and \fIitemPtr\fR arguments have the usual meaning. +\fIdisplay\fR identifies the display containing the canvas, and +\fIdst\fR specifies a drawable in which the item should be rendered; +typically this is an off-screen pixmap, which Tk will copy into +the canvas's window once all relevant items have been drawn. +\fIx\fR, \fIy\fR, \fIwidth\fR, and \fIheight\fR specify a rectangular +region in canvas coordinates, which is the area to be redrawn; +only information that overlaps this area needs to be redrawn. +Tk will not call \fIdisplayProc\fR unless the item's bounding box +overlaps the redraw area, but the type manager may wish to use +the redraw area to optimize the redisplay of the item. +.PP +Because of scrolling and the use of off-screen pixmaps for +double-buffered redisplay, the item's coordinates in \fIdst\fR +will not necessarily be the same as those in the canvas. +\fIdisplayProc\fR should call \fBTk_CanvasDrawableCoords\fR +to transform coordinates from those of the canvas to those +of \fIdst\fR. +.PP +Normally an item's \fIdisplayProc\fR is only invoked if the item +overlaps the area being displayed. +However, if \fItypePtr->alwaysRedraw\fR has a non-zero value, then +\fIdisplayProc\fR is invoked during every redisplay operation, +even if the item doesn't overlap the area of redisplay. +\fIalwaysRedraw\fR should normally be set to 0; it is only +set to 1 in special cases such as window items that need to be +unmapped when they are off-screen. + +.SH POINTPROC +.PP +\fItypePtr->pointProc\fR is invoked by Tk to find out how close +a given point is to a canvas item. +Tk uses this procedure for purposes such as locating the item +under the mouse or finding the closest item to a given point. +The procedure must match the following prototype: +.CS +typedef double Tk_ItemPointProc( + Tk_Canvas \fIcanvas\fR, + Tk_Item *\fIitemPtr\fR, + double *\fIpointPtr\fR); +.CE +\fIcanvas\fR and \fIitemPtr\fR have the usual meaning. +\fIpointPtr\fR points to an array of two numbers giving +the x and y coordinates of a point. +\fIpointProc\fR must return a real value giving the distance +from the point to the item, or 0 if the point lies inside +the item. + +.SH AREAPROC +.PP +\fItypePtr->areaProc\fR is invoked by Tk to find out the relationship +between an item and a rectangular area. +It must match the following prototype: +.CS +typedef int Tk_ItemAreaProc( + Tk_Canvas \fIcanvas\fR, + Tk_Item *\fIitemPtr\fR, + double *\fIrectPtr\fR); +.CE +\fIcanvas\fR and \fIitemPtr\fR have the usual meaning. +\fIrectPtr\fR points to an array of four real numbers; +the first two give the x and y coordinates of the upper left +corner of a rectangle, and the second two give the x and y +coordinates of the lower right corner. +\fIareaProc\fR must return \-1 if the item lies entirely outside +the given area, 0 if it lies partially inside and partially +outside the area, and 1 if it lies entirely inside the area. + +.SH POSTSCRIPTPROC +.PP +\fItypePtr->postscriptProc\fR is invoked by Tk to generate +Postcript for an item during the \fBpostscript\fR widget command. +If the type manager is not capable of generating Postscript then +\fItypePtr->postscriptProc\fR should be NULL. +The procedure must match the following prototype: +.CS +typedef int Tk_ItemPostscriptProc( + Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR, + Tk_Canvas \fIcanvas\fR, + Tk_Item *\fIitemPtr\fR, + int \fIprepass\fR); +.CE +The \fIinterp\fR, \fIcanvas\fR, and \fIitemPtr\fR arguments all have +standard meanings; \fIprepass\fR will be described below. +If \fIpostscriptProc\fR completes successfully, it should append +Postscript for the item to the information in \fIinterp->result\fR +(e.g. by calling \fBTcl_AppendResult\fR, not \fBTcl_SetResult\fR) +and return TCL_OK. +If an error occurs, \fIpostscriptProc\fR should clear the result +and replace its contents with an error message; then it should +return TCL_ERROR. +.PP +Tk provides a collection of utility procedures to simplify +\fIpostscriptProc\fR. +For example, \fBTk_CanvasPsColor\fR will generate Postscript to set +the current color to a given Tk color and \fBTk_CanvasPsFont\fR will +set up font information. +When generating Postscript, the type manager is free to change the +graphics state of the Postscript interpreter, since Tk places +\fBgsave\fR and \fBgrestore\fR commands around the Postscript for +the item. +The type manager can use canvas x coordinates directly in its Postscript, +but it must call \fBTk_CanvasPsY\fR to convert y coordinates from +the space of the canvas (where the origin is at the +upper left) to the space of Postscript (where the origin is at the +lower left). +.PP +In order to generate Postscript that complies with the Adobe Document +Structuring Conventions, Tk actually generates Postscript in two passes. +It calls each item's \fIpostscriptProc\fR in each pass. +The only purpose of the first pass is to collect font information +(which is done by \fBTk_CanvPsFont\fR); the actual Postscript is +discarded. +Tk sets the \fIprepass\fR argument to \fIpostscriptProc\fR to 1 +during the first pass; the type manager can use \fIprepass\fR to skip +all Postscript generation except for calls to \fBTk_CanvasPsFont\fR. +During the second pass \fIprepass\fR will be 0, so the type manager +must generate complete Postscript. + +.SH SCALEPROC +\fItypePtr->scaleProc\fR is invoked by Tk to rescale a canvas item +during the \fBscale\fR widget command. +The procedure must match the following prototype: +.CS +typedef void Tk_ItemScaleProc( + Tk_Canvas \fIcanvas\fR, + Tk_Item *\fIitemPtr\fR, + double \fIoriginX\fR, + double \fIoriginY\fR, + double \fIscaleX\fR, + double \fIscaleY\fR);

The code that implements an +image file format is called an image file format handler, or +handler for short. The photo image code +maintains a list of handlers that can be used to read and +write data to or from a file.

If the selection no longer exists (e.g. it once +existed but the user deleted the range of characters containing +it), then \fIproc\fR should return -1. +.PP +When transferring large selections, Tk will break them up into +smaller pieces (typically a few thousand bytes each) for more +efficient transmission. It will do this by calling \fIproc\fR +one or more times, using successively higher values of \fIoffset\fR +to retrieve successive portions of the selection. If \fIproc\fR +returns a count less than \fImaxBytes\fR it means that the entire +remainder of the selection has been returned. If \fIproc\fR's return +value is \fImaxBytes\fR it means there may be additional information +in the selection, so Tk must make another call to \fIproc\fR to +retrieve the next portion. +.PP +\fIProc\fR always returns selection information in the form of a +character string. However, the ICCCM allows for information to +be transmitted from the selection owner to the selection requestor +in any of several formats, such as a string, an array of atoms, an +array of integers, etc. The \fIformat\fR argument to +\fBTk_CreateSelHandler\fR indicates what format should be used to +transmit the selection to its requestor (see the middle column of +Table 2 of the ICCCM for examples). If \fIformat\fR is not +STRING, then Tk will take the value returned by \fIproc\fR and divided +it into fields separated by white space. If \fIformat\fR is ATOM, +then Tk will return the selection as an array of atoms, with each +field in \fIproc\fR's result treated as the name of one atom. For +any other value of \fIformat\fR, Tk will return the selection as an +array of 32-bit values where each field of \fIproc\fR's result is +treated as a number and translated to a 32-bit value. In any event, +the \fIformat\fR atom is returned to the selection requestor along +with the contents of the selection. +.PP +If \fBTk_CreateSelHandler\fR is called when there already exists a +handler for \fIselection\fR and \fItarget\fR on \fItkwin\fR, then the +existing handler is replaced with a new one. +.PP +\fBTk_DeleteSelHandler\fR removes the handler given by \fItkwin\fR, +\fIselection\fR, and \fItarget\fR, if such a handler exists. +If there is no such handler then it has no effect. + +.SH KEYWORDS +format, handler, selection, target diff --git a/doc/CrtWindow.3 b/doc/CrtWindow.3 new file mode 100644 index 0000000..7799ed0 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/CrtWindow.3 @@ -0,0 +1,142 @@ +'\" +'\" Copyright (c) 1990 The Regents of the University of California. +'\" Copyright (c) 1994-1996 Sun Microsystems, Inc. +'\" +'\" See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and redistribution +'\" of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES. +'\" +'\" @(#) CrtWindow.c 1.21 96/11/01 09:42:20 +'\" +.so man.macros +.TH Tk_CreateWindow 3 4.2 Tk "Tk Library Procedures" +.BS +.SH NAME +Tk_CreateWindow, Tk_CreateWindowFromPath, Tk_DestroyWindow, Tk_MakeWindowExist \- create or delete window +.SH SYNOPSIS +.nf +\fB#include \fR +.sp +Tk_Window +\fBTk_CreateWindow\fR(\fIinterp, parent, name, topLevScreen\fR) +.sp +Tk_Window +\fBTk_CreateWindowFromPath\fR(\fIinterp, tkwin, pathName, topLevScreen\fR) +.sp +\fBTk_DestroyWindow\fR(\fItkwin\fR) +.sp +\fBTk_MakeWindowExist\fR(\fItkwin\fR) +.SH ARGUMENTS +.AS Tcl_Interp *topLevScreen +.AP Tcl_Interp *interp out +Tcl interpreter to use for error reporting.

Each of the procedures returns a token +that can be used to manipulate the window in other calls to the Tk +library. If the window couldn't be created successfully, then NULL +is returned and \fIinterp->result\fR is modified to hold an error +message. +.PP +Tk supports two different kinds of windows: internal +windows and top-level windows. +.VE +An internal window is an interior window of a Tk application, such as a +scrollbar or menu bar or button. A top-level window is one that is +created as a child of a screen's root window, rather than as an +interior window, but which is logically part of some existing main +window. Examples of top-level windows are pop-up menus and dialog boxes. +.PP +New windows may be created by calling +\fBTk_CreateWindow\fR. If the \fItopLevScreen\fR argument is +NULL, then the new window will be an internal window. If +\fItopLevScreen\fR is non-NULL, then the new window will be a +top-level window: \fItopLevScreen\fR indicates the name of +a screen and the new window will be created as a child of the +root window of \fItopLevScreen\fR. In either case Tk will +consider the new window to be the logical child of \fIparent\fR: +the new window's path name will reflect this fact, options may +be specified for the new window under this assumption, and so on. +The only difference is that new X window for a top-level window +will not be a child of \fIparent\fR's X window. For example, a pull-down +menu's \fIparent\fR would be the button-like window used to invoke it, +which would in turn be a child of the menu bar window. A dialog box might +have the application's main window as its parent. +.PP +\fBTk_CreateWindowFromPath\fR offers an alternate way of specifying +new windows. In \fBTk_CreateWindowFromPath\fR the new +window is specified with a token for any window in the target +application (\fItkwin\fR), plus a path name for the new window. +It produces the same effect as \fBTk_CreateWindow\fR and allows +both top-level and internal windows to be created, depending on +the value of \fItopLevScreen\fR. In calls to \fBTk_CreateWindowFromPath\fR, +as in calls to \fBTk_CreateWindow\fR, the parent of the new window +must exist at the time of the call, but the new window must not +already exist. +.PP +The window creation procedures don't +actually issue the command to X to create a window. +Instead, they create a local data structure associated with +the window and defer the creation of the X window. +The window will actually be created by the first call to +\fBTk_MapWindow\fR. Deferred window creation allows various +aspects of the window (such as its size, background color, +etc.) to be modified after its creation without incurring +any overhead in the X server. When the window is finally +mapped all of the window attributes can be set while creating +the window. +.PP +The value returned by a window-creation procedure is not the +X token for the window (it can't be, since X hasn't been +asked to create the window yet). Instead, it is a token +for Tk's local data structure for the window. Most +of the Tk library procedures take Tk_Window tokens, rather +than X identifiers. The actual +X window identifier can be retrieved from the local +data structure using the \fBTk_WindowId\fR macro; see +the manual entry for \fBTk_WindowId\fR for details. +.PP +\fBTk_DestroyWindow\fR deletes a window and all the data +structures associated with it, including any event handlers +created with \fBTk_CreateEventHandler\fR. In addition, +\fBTk_DestroyWindow\fR will delete any children of \fItkwin\fR +recursively (where children are defined in the Tk sense, consisting +of all windows that were created with the given window as \fIparent\fR). +If \fItkwin\fR was created by \fBTk_CreateInternalWindow\fR then event +handlers interested in destroy events +are invoked immediately. If \fItkwin\fR is a top-level or main window, +then the event handlers will be invoked later, after X has seen +the request and returned an event for it. +.PP +If a window has been created +but hasn't been mapped, so no X window exists, it is +possible to force the creation of the X window by +calling \fBTk_MakeWindowExist\fR.

The parameter is the +name of the image, that is, the name specified to the \fBimage create +photo\fR command, or assigned by that command if no name was specified. +.PP +\fBTk_PhotoPutBlock\fR is used to supply blocks of image data to be +displayed. The call affects an area of the image of size +\fIwidth\fR x \fIheight\fR pixels, with its top-left corner at +coordinates (\fIx\fR,\fIy\fR). All of \fIwidth\fR, \fIheight\fR, +\fIx\fR, and \fIy\fR must be non-negative. +If part of this area lies outside the +current bounds of the image, the image will be expanded to include the +area, unless the user has specified an explicit image size with the +\fB\-width\fR and/or \fB\-height\fR widget configuration options +(see photo(n)); in that +case the area is silently clipped to the image boundaries. +.PP +The \fIblock\fR parameter is a pointer to a +\fBTk_PhotoImageBlock\fR structure, defined as follows: +.CS +typedef struct { + unsigned char *\fIpixelPtr\fR; + int \fIwidth\fR; + int \fIheight\fR; + int \fIpitch\fR; + int \fIpixelSize\fR; + int \fIoffset[3]\fR; +} Tk_PhotoImageBlock; +.CE +The \fIpixelPtr\fR field points to the first pixel, that is, the +top-left pixel in the block. +The \fIwidth\fR and \fIheight\fR fields specify the dimensions of the +block of pixels. The \fIpixelSize\fR field specifies the address +difference between two horizontally adjacent pixels. Often it is 3 +or 4, but it can have any value. The \fIpitch\fR field specifies the +address difference between two vertically adjacent pixels. The +\fIoffset\fR array contains the offsets from the address of a pixel +to the addresses of the bytes containing the red, green and blue +components. These are normally 0, 1 and 2, but can have other values, +e.g., for images that are stored as separate red, green and blue +planes. +.PP +The value given for the \fIwidth\fR and \fIheight\fR parameters to +\fBTk_PhotoPutBlock\fR do not have to correspond to the values specified +in \fIblock\fR. If they are smaller, \fBTk_PhotoPutBlock\fR extracts a +sub-block from the image data supplied. If they are larger, the data +given are replicated (in a tiled fashion) to fill the specified area. +These rules operate independently in the horizontal and vertical +directions. +.PP +\fBTk_PhotoPutZoomedBlock\fR works like \fBTk_PhotoPutBlock\fR except that +the image can be reduced or enlarged for display. The +\fIsubsampleX\fR and \fIsubsampleY\fR parameters allow the size of the +image to be reduced by subsampling. +\fBTk_PhotoPutZoomedBlock\fR will use only pixels from the input image +whose X coordinates are multiples of \fIsubsampleX\fR, and whose Y +coordinates are multiples of \fIsubsampleY\fR. For example, an image +of 512x512 pixels can be reduced to 256x256 by setting +\fIsubsampleX\fR and \fIsubsampleY\fR to 2. +.PP +The \fIzoomX\fR and \fIzoomY\fR parameters allow the image to be +enlarged by pixel replication. Each pixel of the (possibly subsampled) +input image will be written to a block \fIzoomX\fR pixels wide and +\fIzoomY\fR pixels high of the displayed image. Subsampling and +zooming can be used together for special effects. +.PP +\fBTk_PhotoGetImage\fR can be used to retrieve image data from a photo +image. \fBTk_PhotoGetImage\fR fills +in the structure pointed to by the \fIblockPtr\fR parameter with values +that describe the address and layout of the image data that the +photo image has stored internally. The values are valid +until the image is destroyed or its size is changed. +\fBTk_PhotoGetImage\fR returns 1 for compatibility with the +corresponding procedure in the old photo widget. +.PP +\fBTk_PhotoBlank\fR blanks the entire area of the +photo image. Blank areas of a photo image are transparent. +.PP +\fBTk_PhotoExpand\fR requests that the widget's image be expanded to be +at least \fIwidth\fR x \fIheight\fR pixels in size. The width and/or +height are unchanged if the user has specified an explicit image width +or height with the \fB\-width\fR and/or \fB\-height\fR configuration +options, respectively. +If the image data +are being supplied in many small blocks, it is more efficient to use +\fBTk_PhotoExpand\fR or \fBTk_PhotoSetSize\fR at the beginning rather than +allowing the image to expand in many small increments as image blocks +are supplied. +.PP +\fBTk_PhotoSetSize\fR specifies the size of the image, as if the user +had specified the given \fIwidth\fR and \fIheight\fR values to the +\fB\-width\fR and \fB\-height\fR configuration options. A value of +zero for \fIwidth\fR or \fIheight\fR does not change the image's width +or height, but allows the width or height to be changed by subsequent +calls to \fBTk_PhotoPutBlock\fR, \fBTk_PhotoPutZoomedBlock\fR or +\fBTk_PhotoExpand\fR. +.PP +\fBTk_PhotoGetSize\fR returns the dimensions of the image in +*\fIwidthPtr\fR and *\fIheightPtr\fR. + +.SH CREDITS +.PP +The code for the photo image type was developed by Paul Mackerras, +based on his earlier photo widget code. + +.SH KEYWORDS +photo, image diff --git a/doc/FontId.3 b/doc/FontId.3 new file mode 100644 index 0000000..71f39e1 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/FontId.3 @@ -0,0 +1,95 @@ +'\" +'\" Copyright (c) 1996 Sun Microsystems, Inc. +'\" +'\" See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and redistribution +'\" of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES. +'\" +'\" SCCS: @(#) FontId.3 1.4 97/11/04 18:03:07 +'\" +.so man.macros +.TH Tk_FontId 3 8.0 Tk "Tk Library Procedures" +.BS +.SH NAME +Tk_FontId, Tk_FontMetrics, Tk_PostscriptFontName \- accessor functions for +fonts +.SH SYNOPSIS +.nf +\fB#include \fR +.sp +Font +\fBTk_FontId(\fItkfont\fB)\fR +.sp +void +\fBTk_GetFontMetrics(\fItkfont, fmPtr\fB)\fR +.sp +int +\fBTk_PostscriptFontName(\fItkfont, dsPtr\fB)\fR + +.SH ARGUMENTS +.AS Tk_FontMetrics *dsPtr +.AP Tk_Font tkfont in +Opaque font token being queried.

Although geometry managers generally try to satisfy +requests made to \fBTk_GeometryRequest\fR, there is no guarantee that +this will always be possible. Widget code should not assume that +a geometry request will be satisfied until it receives a +\fBConfigureNotify\fR event indicating that the geometry change has +occurred. Widget code should never call procedures like +\fBTk_ResizeWindow\fR directly. Instead, it should invoke +\fBTk_GeometryRequest\fR and leave the final geometry decisions to +the geometry manager. +.PP +If \fItkwin\fR is a top-level window, then the geometry information +will be passed to the window manager using the standard ICCCM protocol. +.PP +\fBTk_SetInternalBorder\fR is called by widget code to indicate that +the widget has an internal border. This means that the widget draws +a decorative border inside the window instead of using the standard +X borders, which are external to the window's area. For example, +internal borders are used to draw 3-D effects. \fIWidth\fR +specifies the width of the border in pixels.

For example, if the master or one of its ancestors +is unmapped, the slave is automatically removed by the screen +by X. +.PP +\fBTk_MaintainGeometry\fR deals with these problems for slaves +whose masters aren't their parents. +\fBTk_MaintainGeometry\fR is typically called by a window manager +once it has decided where a slave should be positioned relative +to its master. +\fBTk_MaintainGeometry\fR translates the coordinates to the +coordinate system of \fIslave\fR's parent and then moves and +resizes the slave appropriately. +Furthermore, it remembers the desired position and creates event +handlers to monitor the master and all of its ancestors up +to (but not including) the slave's parent. +If any of these windows is moved, mapped, or unmapped, +the slave will be adjusted so that it is mapped only when the +master is mapped and its geometry relative to the master +remains as specified by \fIx\fR, \fIy\fR, \fIwidth\fR, and +\fIheight\fR. +.PP +When a window manager relinquishes control over a window, or +if it decides that it does not want the window to appear on the +screen under any conditions, it calls \fBTk_UnmaintainGeometry\fR. +\fBTk_UnmaintainGeometry\fR unmaps the window and cancels any +previous calls to \fBTk_MaintainGeometry\fR for the +\fImaster\fR\-\fIslave\fR pair, so that the slave's +geometry and mapped state are no longer maintained +automatically. +\fBTk_UnmaintainGeometry\fR need not be called by a geometry +manager if the slave, the master, or any of the master's ancestors +is destroyed: Tk will call it automatically. +.PP +If \fBTk_MaintainGeometry\fR is called repeatedly for the same +\fImaster\fR\-\fIslave\fR pair, the information from the most +recent call supersedes any older information. +If \fBTk_UnmaintainGeometry\fR is called for a \fImaster\fR\-\fIslave\fR +pair that is isn't currently managed, the call has no effect. + +.SH KEYWORDS +geometry manager, map, master, parent, position, slave, unmap diff --git a/doc/ManageGeom.3 b/doc/ManageGeom.3 new file mode 100644 index 0000000..67ca5b4 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/ManageGeom.3 @@ -0,0 +1,94 @@ +'\" +'\" Copyright (c) 1990-1994 The Regents of the University of California. +'\" Copyright (c) 1994-1996 Sun Microsystems, Inc. +'\" +'\" See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and redistribution +'\" of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES. +'\" +'\" SCCS: @(#) ManageGeom.3 1.18 96/08/27 13:21:30 +'\" +.so man.macros +.TH Tk_ManageGeometry 3 4.0 Tk "Tk Library Procedures" +.BS +.SH NAME +Tk_ManageGeometry \- arrange to handle geometry requests for a window +.SH SYNOPSIS +.nf +\fB#include \fR +.sp +\fBTk_ManageGeometry\fR(\fItkwin, mgrPtr, clientData\fR) +.SH ARGUMENTS +.AS Tk_GeometryProc clientData +.AP Tk_Window tkwin in +Token for window to be managed. +.AP Tk_GeomMgr *mgrPtr in +Pointer to data structure containing information about the +geometry manager, or NULL to indicate that \fItkwin\fR's geometry +shouldn't be managed anymore. +The data structure pointed to by \fImgrPtr\fR must be static: +Tk keeps a reference to it as long as the window is managed. +.AP ClientData clientData in +Arbitrary one-word value to pass to geometry manager callbacks. +.BE + +.SH DESCRIPTION +.PP +\fBTk_ManageGeometry\fR arranges for a particular geometry manager, +described by the \fImgrPtr\fR argument, to control the geometry +of a particular slave window, given by \fItkwin\fR. +If \fItkwin\fR was previously managed by some other geometry manager, +the previous manager loses control in favor of the new one. +If \fImgrPtr\fR is NULL, geometry management is cancelled for +\fItkwin\fR. +.PP +The structure pointed to by \fImgrPtr\fR contains information about +the geometry manager: +.CS +typedef struct { + char *\fIname\fR;

Not all character codes in a given font have a glyph. +Characters such as tabs, newlines/returns, and control characters that +have no glyph are measured and displayed by these procedures in a +platform-dependent manner; under X, they are replaced with backslashed +escape sequences, while under Windows and Macintosh hollow or solid boxes +may be substituted. Refer to the documentation for +\fBTk_ComputeTextLayout\fR for a programming interface that supports the +platform-independent expansion of tab characters into columns and +newlines/returns into multi-line text. +.PP +\fBTk_MeasureChars\fR is used both to compute the length of a given +string and to compute how many characters from a string fit in a given +amount of space. The return value is the number of characters from +\fIstring\fR that fit in the space specified by \fImaxPixels\fR subject to +the conditions described by \fIflags\fR. If all characters fit, the return +value will be \fImaxChars\fR. \fI*lengthPtr\fR is filled with the computed +width, in pixels, of the portion of the string that was measured. For +example, if the return value is 5, then \fI*lengthPtr\fR is filled with the +distance between the left edge of \fIstring\fR[0] and the right edge of +\fIstring\fR[4]. +.PP +\fBTk_TextWidth\fR is a wrapper function that provides a simpler interface +to the \fBTk_MeasureChars\fR function. The return value is how much +space in pixels the given \fIstring\fR needs. +.PP +\fBTk_DrawChars\fR draws the \fIstring\fR at the given location in the +given \fIdrawable\fR. +.PP +\fBTk_UnderlineChars\fR underlines the given range of characters in the +given \fIstring\fR.

The path name is used more often in Tk than the +short name; many commands, like \fBbind\fR, expect path names as +arguments. +.PP +The \fBTk_Name\fR macro returns a window's +short name, which is the same as the \fIname\fR argument +passed to \fBTk_CreateWindow\fR when +the window was created. The value is returned +as a Tk_Uid, which may be used just like a string pointer but also has +the properties of a unique identifier (see the manual entry for +\fBTk_GetUid\fR for details). +.PP +The \fBTk_PathName\fR macro returns a +hierarchical name for \fItkwin\fR. +Path names have a structure similar to file names in Unix but with +dots between elements instead of slashes: the main window for +an application has the path name ``.''; its children have names like +``.a'' and ``.b''; their children have names like ``.a.aa'' and +``.b.bb''; and so on. A window is considered to be be a child of +another window for naming purposes if the second window was named +as the first window's \fIparent\fR when the first window was created. +This is not always the same as the X window hierarchy. For +example, a pop-up +is created as a child of the root window, but its logical parent will +usually be a window within the application. +.PP +The procedure \fBTk_NameToWindow\fR returns the token for a window +given its path name (the \fIpathName\fR argument) and another window +belonging to the same main window (\fItkwin\fR). It normally +returns a token for the named window, but if no such window exists +\fBTk_NameToWindow\fR leaves an error message in \fIinterp->result\fR +and returns NULL. The \fItkwin\fR argument to \fBTk_NameToWindow\fR +is needed because path names are only unique within a single +application hierarchy. If, for example, a single process has opened +two main windows, each will have a separate naming hierarchy and the +same path name might appear in each of the hierarchies.

The arguments that do not +match anything in \fIargTable\fR are copied down to the beginning +of \fIargv\fR (retaining their original order) and returned to +the caller. At the end of the call +\fBTk_ParseArgv\fR sets \fI*argcPtr\fR to hold the number of +arguments that are left in \fIargv\fR, and \fIargv[*argcPtr]\fR +will hold the value NULL. Normally, \fBTk_ParseArgv\fR +assumes that \fIargv[0]\fR is a command name, so it is treated like +an argument that doesn't match \fIargTable\fR and returned to the +caller; however, if the TK_ARGV_DONT_SKIP_FIRST_ARG bit is set in +\fIflags\fR then \fIargv[0]\fR will be processed just like the other +elements of \fIargv\fR. +.PP +\fBTk_ParseArgv\fR normally returns the value TCL_OK. If an error +occurs while parsing the arguments, then TCL_ERROR is returned and +\fBTk_ParseArgv\fR will leave an error message in \fIinterp->result\fR +in the standard Tcl fashion. In +the event of an error return, \fI*argvPtr\fR will not have been +modified, but \fIargv\fR could have been partially modified. The +possible causes of errors are explained below. +.PP +The \fIargTable\fR array specifies the kinds of arguments that are +expected; each of its entries has the following structure: +.CS +typedef struct { + char *\fIkey\fR; + int \fItype\fR; + char *\fIsrc\fR; + char *\fIdst\fR; + char *\fIhelp\fR; +} Tk_ArgvInfo; +.CE +The \fIkey\fR field is a string such as ``\-display'' or ``\-bg'' +that is compared with the values in \fIargv\fR. \fIType\fR +indicates how to process an argument that matches \fIkey\fR +(more on this below). \fISrc\fR and \fIdst\fR are additional +values used in processing the argument. Their exact usage +depends on \fItype\fR, but typically \fIsrc\fR indicates +a value and \fIdst\fR indicates where to store the +value. The \fBchar *\fR declarations for \fIsrc\fR and \fIdst\fR +are placeholders: the actual types may be different. Lastly, +\fIhelp\fR is a string giving a brief description +of this option; this string is printed when users ask for help +about command-line options. +.PP +When processing an argument in \fIargv\fR, \fBTk_ParseArgv\fR +compares the argument to each of the \fIkey\fR's in \fIargTable\fR. +\fBTk_ParseArgv\fR selects the first specifier whose \fIkey\fR matches +the argument exactly, if such a specifier exists. Otherwise +\fBTk_ParseArgv\fR selects a specifier for which the argument +is a unique abbreviation. If the argument is a unique abbreviation +for more than one specifier, then an error is returned. If there +is no matching entry in \fIargTable\fR, then the argument is +skipped and returned to the caller. +.PP +Once a matching argument specifier is found, \fBTk_ParseArgv\fR +processes the argument according to the \fItype\fR field of the +specifier. The argument that matched \fIkey\fR is called ``the matching +argument'' in the descriptions below. As part of the processing, +\fBTk_ParseArgv\fR may also use the next argument in \fIargv\fR +after the matching argument, which is called ``the following +argument''. The legal values for \fItype\fR, and the processing +that they cause, are as follows: +.TP +\fBTK_ARGV_END\fR +Marks the end of the table. The last entry in \fIargTable\fR +must have this type; all of its other fields are ignored and it +will never match any arguments. +.TP +\fBTK_ARGV_CONSTANT\fR +\fISrc\fR is treated as an integer and \fIdst\fR is treated +as a pointer to an integer. \fISrc\fR is stored at \fI*dst\fR. +The matching argument is discarded. +.TP +\fBTK_ARGV_INT\fR +The following argument must contain an +integer string in the format accepted by \fBstrtol\fR (e.g. ``0'' +and ``0x'' prefixes may be used to specify octal or hexadecimal +numbers, respectively). \fIDst\fR is treated as a pointer to an +integer; the following argument is converted to an integer value +and stored at \fI*dst\fR. \fISrc\fR is ignored. The matching +and following arguments are discarded from \fIargv\fR. +.TP +\fBTK_ARGV_FLOAT\fR +The following argument must contain a floating-point number in +the format accepted by \fBstrtol\fR. +\fIDst\fR is treated as the address of an double-precision +floating point value; the following argument is converted to a +double-precision value and stored at \fI*dst\fR. The matching +and following arguments are discarded from \fIargv\fR. +.TP +\fBTK_ARGV_STRING\fR +In this form, \fIdst\fR is treated as a pointer to a (char *); +\fBTk_ParseArgv\fR stores at \fI*dst\fR a pointer to the following +argument, and discards the matching and following arguments from +\fIargv\fR. \fISrc\fR is ignored. +.TP +\fBTK_ARGV_UID\fR +This form is similar to TK_ARGV_STRING, except that the argument +is turned into a Tk_Uid by calling \fBTk_GetUid\fR. +\fIDst\fR is treated as a pointer to a +Tk_Uid; \fBTk_ParseArgv\fR stores at \fI*dst\fR the Tk_Uid +corresponding to the following +argument, and discards the matching and following arguments from +\fIargv\fR. \fISrc\fR is ignored. +.TP +\fBTK_ARGV_CONST_OPTION\fR +This form causes a Tk option to be set (as if the \fBoption\fR +command had been invoked). The \fIsrc\fR field is treated as a +pointer to a string giving the value of an option, and \fIdst\fR +is treated as a pointer to the name of the option. The matching +argument is discarded. If \fItkwin\fR is NULL, then argument +specifiers of this type are ignored (as if they did not exist). +.TP +\fBTK_ARGV_OPTION_VALUE\fR +This form is similar to TK_ARGV_CONST_OPTION, except that the +value of the option is taken from the following argument instead +of from \fIsrc\fR. \fIDst\fR is used as the name of the option. +\fISrc\fR is ignored. The matching and following arguments +are discarded. If \fItkwin\fR is NULL, then argument +specifiers of this type are ignored (as if they did not exist). +.TP +\fBTK_ARGV_OPTION_NAME_VALUE\fR +In this case the following argument is taken as the name of a Tk +option and the argument after that is taken as the value for that +option. Both \fIsrc\fR and \fIdst\fR are ignored. All three +arguments are discarded from \fIargv\fR. If \fItkwin\fR is NULL, +then argument +specifiers of this type are ignored (as if they did not exist). +.TP +\fBTK_ARGV_HELP\fR +When this kind of option is encountered, \fBTk_ParseArgv\fR uses the +\fIhelp\fR fields of \fIargTable\fR to format a message describing +all the valid arguments. The message is placed in \fIinterp->result\fR +and \fBTk_ParseArgv\fR returns TCL_ERROR. When this happens, the +caller normally prints the help message and aborts. If the \fIkey\fR +field of a TK_ARGV_HELP specifier is NULL, then the specifier will +never match any arguments; in this case the specifier simply provides +extra documentation, which will be included when some other +TK_ARGV_HELP entry causes help information to be returned. +.TP +\fBTK_ARGV_REST\fR +This option is used by programs or commands that allow the last +several of their options to be the name and/or options for some +other program. If a \fBTK_ARGV_REST\fR argument is found, then +\fBTk_ParseArgv\fR doesn't process any +of the remaining arguments; it returns them all at +the beginning of \fIargv\fR (along with any other unprocessed arguments). +In addition, \fBTk_ParseArgv\fR treats \fIdst\fR as the address of an +integer value, and stores at \fI*dst\fR the index of the first of the +\fBTK_ARGV_REST\fR options in the returned \fIargv\fR. This allows the +program to distinguish the \fBTK_ARGV_REST\fR options from other +unprocessed options that preceded the \fBTK_ARGV_REST\fR. +.TP +\fBTK_ARGV_FUNC\fR +For this kind of argument, \fIsrc\fR is treated as the address of +a procedure, which is invoked to process the following argument. +The procedure should have the following structure: +.RS +.CS +int +\fIfunc\fR(\fIdst\fR, \fIkey\fR, \fInextArg\fR) + char *\fIdst\fR; + char *\fIkey\fR; + char *\fInextArg\fR; +{ +} +.CE +The \fIdst\fR and \fIkey\fR parameters will contain the +corresponding fields from the \fIargTable\fR entry, and +\fInextArg\fR will point to the following argument from \fIargv\fR +(or NULL if there aren't any more arguments left in \fIargv\fR). +If \fIfunc\fR uses \fInextArg\fR (so that +\fBTk_ParseArgv\fR should discard it), then it should return 1. Otherwise it +should return 0 and \fBTkParseArgv\fR will process the following +argument in the normal fashion. In either event the matching argument +is discarded. +.RE +.TP +\fBTK_ARGV_GENFUNC\fR +This form provides a more general procedural escape. It treats +\fIsrc\fR as the address of a procedure, and passes that procedure +all of the remaining arguments. The procedure should have the following +form: +.RS +.CS +int +\fIgenfunc\fR(dst, interp, key, argc, argv) + char *\fIdst\fR; + Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR; + char *\fIkey\fR; + int \fIargc\fR; + char **\fIargv\fR; +{ +} +.CE +The \fIdst\fR and \fIkey\fR parameters will contain the +corresponding fields from the \fIargTable\fR entry. \fIInterp\fR +will be the same as the \fIinterp\fR argument to \fBTcl_ParseArgv\fR. +\fIArgc\fR and \fIargv\fR refer to all of the options after the +matching one. \fIGenfunc\fR should behave in a fashion similar +to \fBTk_ParseArgv\fR: parse as many of the remaining arguments as it can, +then return any that are left by compacting them to the beginning of +\fIargv\fR (starting at \fIargv\fR[0]). \fIGenfunc\fR +should return a count of how many arguments are left in \fIargv\fR; +\fBTk_ParseArgv\fR will process them. If \fIgenfunc\fR encounters +an error then it should leave an error message in \fIinterp->result\fR, +in the usual Tcl fashion, and return -1; when this happens +\fBTk_ParseArgv\fR will abort its processing and return TCL_ERROR. +.RE + +.SH "FLAGS" +.TP +\fBTK_ARGV_DONT_SKIP_FIRST_ARG\fR +\fBTk_ParseArgv\fR normally treats \fIargv[0]\fR as a program +or command name, and returns it to the caller just as if it +hadn't matched \fIargTable\fR. If this flag is given, then +\fIargv[0]\fR is not given special treatment. +.TP +\fBTK_ARGV_NO_ABBREV\fR +Normally, \fBTk_ParseArgv\fR accepts unique abbreviations for +\fIkey\fR values in \fIargTable\fR. If this flag is given then +only exact matches will be acceptable. +.TP +\fBTK_ARGV_NO_LEFTOVERS\fR +Normally, \fBTk_ParseArgv\fR returns unrecognized arguments to the +caller. If this bit is set in \fIflags\fR then \fBTk_ParseArgv\fR +will return an error if it encounters any argument that doesn't +match \fIargTable\fR. The only exception to this rule is \fIargv[0]\fR, +which will be returned to the caller with no errors as +long as TK_ARGV_DONT_SKIP_FIRST_ARG isn't specified. +.TP +\fBTK_ARGV_NO_DEFAULTS\fR +Normally, \fBTk_ParseArgv\fR searches an internal table of +standard argument specifiers in addition to \fIargTable\fR. If +this bit is set in \fIflags\fR, then \fBTk_ParseArgv\fR will +use only \fIargTable\fR and not its default table. + +.SH EXAMPLE +.PP +Here is an example definition of an \fIargTable\fR and +some sample command lines that use the options.

To measure and display simple single-font, single-line +strings, refer to the documentation for \fBTk_MeasureChars\fR. There is +no programming interface in the core of Tk that supports multi-font, +multi-line text; support for that behavior must be built on top of +simpler layers. +.PP +The routines described here are built on top of the programming interface +described in the \fBTk_MeasureChars\fR documentation. Tab characters and +newline/return characters may be treated specially by these procedures, +but all other characters are passed through to the lower level. +.PP +\fBTk_ComputeTextLayout\fR computes the layout information needed to +display a single-font, multi-line, justified \fIstring\fR of text and +returns a Tk_TextLayout token that holds this information. This token is +used in subsequent calls to procedures such as \fBTk_DrawTextLayout\fR, +\fBTk_DistanceToTextLayout\fR, and \fBTk_FreeTextLayout\fR. The +\fIstring\fR and \fItkfont\fR used when computing the layout must remain +valid for the lifetime of this token. +.PP +\fBTk_FreeTextLayout\fR is called to release the storage associated with +\fIlayout\fR when it is no longer needed. A \fIlayout\fR should not be used +in any other text layout procedures once it has been released. +.PP +\fBTk_DrawTextLayout\fR uses the information in \fIlayout\fR to display a +single-font, multi-line, justified string of text at the specified location. +.PP +\fBTk_UnderlineTextLayout\fR uses the information in \fIlayout\fR to +display an underline below an individual character. This procedure does +not draw the text, just the underline. To produce natively underlined +text, an underlined font should be constructed and used. All characters, +including tabs, newline/return characters, and spaces at the ends of +lines, can be underlined using this method. However, the underline will +never be drawn outside of the computed width of \fIlayout\fR; the +underline will stop at the edge for any character that would extend +partially outside of \fIlayout\fR, and the underline will not be visible +at all for any character that would be located completely outside of the +layout. +.PP +\fBTk_PointToChar\fR uses the information in \fIlayout\fR to determine the +character closest to the given point. The point is specified with respect +to the upper-left hand corner of the \fIlayout\fR, which is considered to be +located at (0, 0). Any point whose \fIy\fR-value is less that 0 will be +considered closest to the first character in the text layout; any point +whose \fIy\fR-value is greater than the height of the text layout will be +considered closest to the last character in the text layout. Any point +whose \fIx\fR-value is less than 0 will be considered closest to the first +character on that line; any point whose \fIx\fR-value is greater than the +width of the text layout will be considered closest to the last character on +that line. The return value is the index of the character that was closest +to the point. Given a \fIlayout\fR with no characters, the value 0 will +always be returned, referring to a hypothetical zero-width placeholder +character. +.PP +\fBTk_CharBBox\fR uses the information in \fIlayout\fR to return the +bounding box for the character specified by \fIindex\fR. The width of the +bounding box is the advance width of the character, and does not include any +left or right bearing. Any character that extends partially outside of +\fIlayout\fR is considered to be truncated at the edge. Any character +that would be located completely outside of \fIlayout\fR is considered to +be zero-width and pegged against the edge. The height of the bounding +box is the line height for this font, extending from the top of the +ascent to the bottom of the descent; information about the actual height +of individual letters is not available. For measurement purposes, a +\fIlayout\fR that contains no characters is considered to contain a +single zero-width placeholder character at index 0. If \fIindex\fR was +not a valid character index, the return value is 0 and \fI*xPtr\fR, +\fI*yPtr\fR, \fI*widthPtr\fR, and \fI*heightPtr\fR are unmodified. +Otherwise, if \fIindex\fR did specify a valid, the return value is +non-zero, and \fI*xPtr\fR, \fI*yPtr\fR, \fI*widthPtr\fR, and +\fI*heightPtr\fR are filled with the bounding box information for the +character. If any of \fIxPtr\fR, \fIyPtr\fR, \fIwidthPtr\fR, or +\fIheightPtr\fR are NULL, the corresponding value is not calculated or +stored. +.PP +\fBTk_DistanceToTextLayout\fR computes the shortest distance in pixels from +the given point (\fIx, y\fR) to the characters in \fIlayout\fR. +Newline/return characters and non-displaying space characters that occur at +the end of individual lines in the text layout are ignored for hit detection +purposes, but tab characters are not. The return value is 0 if the point +actually hits the \fIlayout\fR. If the point didn't hit the \fIlayout\fR +then the return value is the distance in pixels from the point to the +\fIlayout\fR. +.PP +\fBTk_IntersectTextLayout\fR determines whether a \fIlayout\fR lies +entirely inside, entirely outside, or overlaps a given rectangle. +Newline/return characters and non-displaying space characters that occur +at the end of individual lines in the \fIlayout\fR are ignored for +intersection calculations. The return value is \-1 if the \fIlayout\fR is +entirely outside of the rectangle, 0 if it overlaps, and 1 if it is +entirely inside of the rectangle. +.PP +\fBTk_TextLayoutToPostscript\fR outputs code consisting of a Postscript +array of strings that represent the individual lines in \fIlayout\fR. It +is the responsibility of the caller to take the Postscript array of +strings and add some Postscript function operate on the array to render +each of the lines. The code that represents the Postscript array of +strings is appended to \fIinterp->result\fR. +.PP +.SH DISPLAY MODEL +When measuring a text layout, space characters that occur at the end of a +line are ignored. The space characters still exist and the insertion point +can be positioned amongst them, but their additional width is ignored when +justifying lines or returning the total width of a text layout. All +end-of-line space characters are considered to be attached to the right edge +of the line; this behavior is logical for left-justified text and reasonable +for center-justified text, but not very useful when editing right-justified +text. Spaces are considered variable width characters; the first space that +extends past the edge of the text layout is clipped to the edge, and any +subsequent spaces on the line are considered zero width and pegged against +the edge. Space characters that occur in the middle of a line of text are +not suppressed and occupy their normal space width. +.PP +Tab characters are not ignored for measurement calculations. If wrapping +is turned on and there are enough tabs on a line, the next tab will wrap +to the beginning of the next line. There are some possible strange +interactions between tabs and justification; tab positions are calculated +and the line length computed in a left-justified world, and then the +whole resulting line is shifted so it is centered or right-justified, +causing the tab columns not to align any more. +.PP +When wrapping is turned on, lines may wrap at word breaks (space or tab +characters) or newline/returns. A dash or hyphen character in the middle +of a word is not considered a word break. \fBTk_ComputeTextLayout\fR +always attempts to place at least one word on each line. If it cannot +because the \fIwrapLength\fR is too small, the word will be broken and as +much as fits placed on the line and the rest on subsequent line(s). If +\fIwrapLength\fR is so small that not even one character can fit on a +given line, the \fIwrapLength\fR is ignored for that line and one +character will be placed on the line anyhow. When wrapping is turned +off, only newline/return characters may cause a line break. +.PP +When a text layout has been created using an underlined \fItkfont\fR, +then any space characters that occur at the end of individual lines, +newlines/returns, and tabs will not be displayed underlined when +\fBTk_DrawTextLayout\fR is called, because those characters are never +actually drawn \- they are merely placeholders maintained in the +\fIlayout\fR. +.SH KEYWORDS +font diff --git a/doc/Tk_Init.3 b/doc/Tk_Init.3 new file mode 100644 index 0000000..20ed41d --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/Tk_Init.3 @@ -0,0 +1,47 @@ +'\" +'\" Copyright (c) 1995-1996 Sun Microsystems, Inc. +'\" +'\" See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and redistribution +'\" of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES. +'\" +'\" SCCS: @(#) Tk_Init.3 1.3 96/03/26 18:19:08 +'\" +.so man.macros +.TH Tk_Init 3 4.1 Tk "Tk Library Procedures" +.BS +.SH NAME +Tk_Init \- add Tk to an interpreter and make a new Tk application. +.SH SYNOPSIS +.nf +\fB#include \fR +.sp +int +\fBTk_Init\fR(\fIinterp\fR) +.SH ARGUMENTS +.AS Tcl_Interp *interp +.AP Tcl_Interp *interp in +Interpreter in which to load Tk.

The location information refers to the +upper-left pixel in the window, or its border if there is one. +The width and height information refers to the interior size +of the window, not including any border. \fBTk_Changes\fR +returns a pointer to a structure containing all of the above +information plus a few other fields. \fBTk_Attributes\fR +returns a pointer to an XSetWindowAttributes structure describing +all of the attributes of the \fItkwin\fR's window, such as background +pixmap, event mask, and so on (Tk keeps track of all this information +as it is changed by the application). Note: it is essential that +applications use Tk procedures like \fBTk_ResizeWindow\fR instead +of X procedures like \fBXResizeWindow\fR, so that Tk can keep its +data structures up-to-date. +.PP +\fBTk_IsMapped\fR returns a non-zero value if \fItkwin\fR +is mapped and zero if \fItkwin\fR isn't mapped. +.PP +\fBTk_IsTopLevel\fR returns a non-zero value if \fItkwin\fR +is a top-level window (its X parent is the root window of the +screen) and zero if \fItkwin\fR isn't a top-level window. +.PP +\fBTk_ReqWidth\fR and \fBTk_ReqHeight\fR return information about +the window's requested size.

Each +.VS +event pattern may +take one of three forms. In the simplest case it is a single +.VE +printing ASCII character, such as \fBa\fR or \fB[\fR. The character +may not be a space character or the character \fB<\fR. This form of +pattern matches a \fBKeyPress\fR event for the particular +character. The second form of pattern is longer but more general. +It has the following syntax: +.CS +\fB<\fImodifier-modifier-type-detail\fB>\fR +.CE +The entire event pattern is surrounded by angle brackets. +Inside the angle brackets are zero or more modifiers, an event +type, and an extra piece of information (\fIdetail\fR) identifying +a particular button or keysym. Any of the fields may be omitted, +as long as at least one of \fItype\fR and \fIdetail\fR is present. +The fields must be separated by white space or dashes. +.VS +.PP +The third form of pattern is used to specify a user-defined, named virtual +event. It has the following syntax: +.CS +\fB<<\fIname\fB>>\fR +.CE +The entire virtual event pattern is surrounded by double angle brackets. +Inside the angle brackets is the user-defined name of the virtual event. +Modifiers, such as \fBShift\fR or \fBControl\fR, may not be combined with a +virtual event to modify it. Bindings on a virtual event may be created +before the virtual event is defined, and if the definition of a virtual +event changes dynamically, all windows bound to that virtual event will +respond immediately to the new definition. +.VE +.SH "MODIFIERS" +.PP +Modifiers consist of any of the following values: +.DS +.ta 6c +\fBControl\fR \fBMod2, M2\fR +\fBShift\fR \fBMod3, M3\fR +\fBLock\fR \fBMod4, M4\fR +\fBButton1, B1\fR \fBMod5, M5\fR +\fBButton2, B2\fR \fBMeta, M\fR +\fBButton3, B3\fR \fBAlt\fR +\fBButton4, B4\fR \fBDouble\fR +\fBButton5, B5\fR \fBTriple\fR +\fBMod1, M1\fR +.DE +Where more than one value is listed, separated by commas, the values +are equivalent. +Most of the modifiers have the obvious X meanings. +For example, \fBButton1\fR requires that +button 1 be depressed when the event occurs. +For a binding to match a given event, the modifiers in the event +must include all of those specified in the event pattern. +An event may also contain additional modifiers not specified in +the binding. +For example, if button 1 is pressed while the shift and control keys +are down, the pattern \fB\fR will match +the event, but \fB\fR will not. +If no modifiers are specified, then any combination of modifiers may +be present in the event. +.PP +\fBMeta\fR and \fBM\fR refer to whichever of the +\fBM1\fR through \fBM5\fR modifiers is associated with the meta +key(s) on the keyboard (keysyms \fBMeta_R\fR and \fBMeta_L\fR). +If there are no meta keys, or if they are not associated with any +modifiers, then \fBMeta\fR and \fBM\fR will not match any events. +Similarly, the \fBAlt\fR modifier refers to whichever modifier +is associated with the alt key(s) on the keyboard (keysyms +\fBAlt_L\fR and \fBAlt_R\fR). +.PP +The \fBDouble\fR and \fBTriple\fR modifiers are a convenience +for specifying double mouse clicks and other repeated +events. They cause a particular event pattern to be +repeated 2 or 3 times, and also place a time and space requirement +on the sequence: for a sequence of events to match a \fBDouble\fR +or \fBTriple\fR pattern, all of the events must occur close together +in time and without substantial mouse motion in between. +For example, \fB\fR +is equivalent to \fB\fR with the extra +time and space requirement. + +.SH "EVENT TYPES" +.PP +The \fItype\fR field may be any of the standard X event types, with a +few extra abbreviations. Below is a list of all the valid types; +where two names appear together, they are synonyms. +.DS C +.ta 5c 10c +\fBButtonPress, Button Expose Map +ButtonRelease FocusIn Motion +Circulate FocusOut Property +Colormap Gravity Reparent +Configure KeyPress, Key Unmap +Destroy KeyRelease Visibility +Enter Leave Activate +Deactivate\fR +.DE +.PP +The last part of a long event specification is \fIdetail\fR. In the +case of a \fBButtonPress\fR or \fBButtonRelease\fR event, it is the +number of a button (1-5). If a button number is given, then only an +event on that particular button will match; if no button number is +given, then an event on any button will match. Note: giving a +specific button number is different than specifying a button modifier; +in the first case, it refers to a button being pressed or released, +while in the second it refers to some other button that is already +depressed when the matching event occurs. If a button +number is given then \fItype\fR may be omitted: if will default +to \fBButtonPress\fR. For example, the specifier \fB<1>\fR +is equivalent to \fB\fR. +.PP +If the event type is \fBKeyPress\fR or \fBKeyRelease\fR, then +\fIdetail\fR may be specified in the form of an X keysym. Keysyms +are textual specifications for particular keys on the keyboard; +they include all the alphanumeric ASCII characters (e.g. ``a'' is +the keysym for the ASCII character ``a''), plus descriptions for +non-alphanumeric characters (``comma'' is the keysym for the comma +character), plus descriptions for all the non-ASCII keys on the +keyboard (``Shift_L'' is the keysm for the left shift key, and +``F1'' is the keysym for the F1 function key, if it exists). The +complete list of keysyms is not presented here; it is +available in other X documentation and may vary from system to +system. +If necessary, you can use the \fB%K\fR notation described below +to print out the keysym name for a particular key. +If a keysym \fIdetail\fR is given, then the +\fItype\fR field may be omitted; it will default to \fBKeyPress\fR. +For example, \fB\fR is equivalent to +\fB\fR. + +.SH "BINDING SCRIPTS AND SUBSTITUTIONS" +.PP +The \fIscript\fR argument to \fBbind\fR is a Tcl script, +which will be executed whenever the given event sequence occurs. +\fICommand\fR will be executed in the same interpreter that the +\fBbind\fR command was executed in, and it will run at global +level (only global variables will be accessible). +If \fIscript\fR contains +any \fB%\fR characters, then the script will not be +executed directly. Instead, a new script will be +generated by replacing each \fB%\fR, and the character following +it, with information from the current event. The replacement +depends on the character following the \fB%\fR, as defined in the +list below. Unless otherwise indicated, the +replacement string is the decimal value of the given field from +the current event. +Some of the substitutions are only valid for +certain types of events; if they are used for other types of events +the value substituted is undefined. +.IP \fB%%\fR 5 +Replaced with a single percent. +.IP \fB%#\fR 5 +The number of the last client request processed by the server +(the \fIserial\fR field from the event).

At the time this command is invoked, +there must not exist a window named \fIpathName\fR, but +\fIpathName\fR's parent must exist. +.PP +Canvas widgets implement structured graphics. +A canvas displays any number of \fIitems\fR, which may be things like +rectangles, circles, lines, and text. +Items may be manipulated (e.g. moved or re-colored) and commands may +be associated with items in much the same way that the \fBbind\fR +command allows commands to be bound to widgets. For example, +a particular command may be associated with the event +so that the command is invoked whenever button 1 is pressed with +the mouse cursor over an item. +This means that items in a canvas can have behaviors defined by +the Tcl scripts bound to them. + +.SH "DISPLAY LIST" +.PP +The items in a canvas are ordered for purposes of display, +with the first item in the display list being displayed +first, followed by the next item in the list, and so on. +Items later in the display list obscure those that are +earlier in the display list and are sometimes referred to +as being ``on top'' of earlier items. +When a new item is created it is placed at the end of the +display list, on top of everything else. +Widget commands may be used to re-arrange the order of the +display list. +.PP +Window items are an exception to the above rules. The underlying +window systems require them always to be drawn on top of other items. +In addition, the stacking order of window items +is not affected by any of the canvas widget commands; you must use +the \fBraise\fR and \fBlower\fR Tk commands instead. + +.SH "ITEM IDS AND TAGS" +.PP +Items in a canvas widget may be named in either of two ways: +by id or by tag. +Each item has a unique identifying number which is assigned to +that item when it is created. The id of an item never changes +and id numbers are never re-used within the lifetime of a +canvas widget. +.PP +Each item may also have any number of \fItags\fR associated +with it. A tag is just a string of characters, and it may +take any form except that of an integer. +For example, ``x123'' is OK but ``123'' isn't. +The same tag may be associated with many different items. +This is commonly done to group items in various interesting +ways; for example, all selected items might be given the +tag ``selected''. +.PP +The tag \fBall\fR is implicitly associated with every item +in the canvas; it may be used to invoke operations on +all the items in the canvas. +.PP +The tag \fBcurrent\fR is managed automatically by Tk; +it applies to the \fIcurrent item\fR, which is the +topmost item whose drawn area covers the position of +the mouse cursor. +If the mouse is not in the canvas widget or is not over +an item, then no item has the \fBcurrent\fR tag. +.PP +When specifying items in canvas widget commands, if the +specifier is an integer then it is assumed to refer to +the single item with that id. +If the specifier is not an integer, then it is assumed to +refer to all of the items in the canvas that have a tag +matching the specifier. +The symbol \fItagOrId\fR is used below to indicate that +an argument specifies either an id that selects a single +item or a tag that selects zero or more items. +Some widget commands only operate on a single item at a +time; if \fItagOrId\fR is specified in a way that +names multiple items, then the normal behavior is for +the command to use the first (lowest) of these items in +the display list that is suitable for the command. +Exceptions are noted in the widget command descriptions +below. + +.SH "COORDINATES" +.PP +All coordinates related to canvases are stored as floating-point +numbers. +Coordinates and distances are specified in screen units, +which are floating-point numbers optionally followed +by one of several letters. +If no letter is supplied then the distance is in pixels. +If the letter is \fBm\fR then the distance is in millimeters on +the screen; if it is \fBc\fR then the distance is in centimeters; +\fBi\fR means inches, and \fBp\fR means printers points (1/72 inch). +Larger y-coordinates refer to points lower on the screen; larger +x-coordinates refer to points farther to the right. + +.SH TRANSFORMATIONS +.PP +Normally the origin of the canvas coordinate system is at the +upper-left corner of the window containing the canvas. +It is possible to adjust the origin of the canvas +coordinate system relative to the origin of the window using the +\fBxview\fR and \fByview\fR widget commands; this is typically used +for scrolling. +Canvases do not support scaling or rotation of the canvas coordinate +system relative to the window coordinate system. +.PP +Individual items may be moved or scaled using widget commands +described below, but they may not be rotated. + +.SH "INDICES" +.PP +Text items support the notion of an \fIindex\fR for identifying +particular positions within the item. +Indices are used for commands such as inserting text, deleting +a range of characters, and setting the insertion cursor position. +An index may be specified in any of a number of ways, and +different types of items may support different forms for +specifying indices. +Text items support the following forms for an index; if you +define new types of text-like items, it would be advisable to +support as many of these forms as practical. +Note that it is possible to refer to the character just after +the last one in the text item; this is necessary for such +tasks as inserting new text at the end of the item. +.TP 10 +\fInumber\fR +A decimal number giving the position of the desired character +within the text item. +0 refers to the first character, 1 to the next character, and +so on. +A number less than 0 is treated as if it were zero, and a +number greater than the length of the text item is treated +as if it were equal to the length of the text item. +.TP 10 +\fBend\fR +Refers to the character just after the last one in the item +(same as the number of characters in the item). +.TP 10 +\fBinsert\fR +Refers to the character just before which the insertion cursor +is drawn in this item. +.TP 10 +\fBsel.first\fR +Refers to the first selected character in the item. +If the selection isn't in this item then this form is illegal. +.TP 10 +\fBsel.last\fR +Refers to the last selected character in the item. +If the selection isn't in this item then this form is illegal. +.TP 10 +\fB@\fIx,y\fR +Refers to the character at the point given by \fIx\fR and +\fIy\fR, where \fIx\fR and \fIy\fR are specified in the coordinate +system of the canvas. +If \fIx\fR and \fIy\fR lie outside the coordinates covered by the +text item, then they refer to the first or last character in the +line that is closest to the given point. + +.SH "WIDGET COMMAND" +.PP +The \fBcanvas\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose +name is \fIpathName\fR. This +command may be used to invoke various +operations on the widget. It has the following general form: +.CS +\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR? +.CE +\fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs +determine the exact behavior of the command. +The following widget commands are possible for canvas widgets: +.TP +\fIpathName \fBaddtag \fItag searchSpec \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR? +For each item that meets the constraints specified by +\fIsearchSpec\fR and the \fIarg\fRs, add +\fItag\fR to the list of tags associated with the item if it +isn't already present on that list. +It is possible that no items will satisfy the constraints +given by \fIsearchSpec\fR and \fIarg\fRs, in which case the +command has no effect. +This command returns an empty string as result. +\fISearchSpec\fR and \fIarg\fR's may take any of the following +forms: +.RS +.TP +\fBabove \fItagOrId\fR +Selects the item just after (above) the one given by \fItagOrId\fR +in the display list. +If \fItagOrId\fR denotes more than one item, then the last (topmost) +of these items in the display list is used. +.TP +\fBall\fR +Selects all the items in the canvas. +.TP +\fBbelow \fItagOrId\fR +Selects the item just before (below) the one given by \fItagOrId\fR +in the display list. +If \fItagOrId\fR denotes more than one item, then the first (lowest) +of these items in the display list is used. +.TP +\fBclosest \fIx y \fR?\fIhalo\fR? ?\fIstart\fR? +Selects the item closest to the point given by \fIx\fR and \fIy\fR. +If more than one item is at the same closest distance (e.g. two +items overlap the point), then the top-most of these items (the +last one in the display list) is used. +If \fIhalo\fR is specified, then it must be a non-negative +value. +Any item closer than \fIhalo\fR to the point is considered to +overlap it. +The \fIstart\fR argument may be used to step circularly through +all the closest items. +If \fIstart\fR is specified, it names an item using a tag or id +(if by tag, it selects the first item in the display list with +the given tag). +Instead of selecting the topmost closest item, this form will +select the topmost closest item that is below \fIstart\fR in +the display list; if no such item exists, then the selection +behaves as if the \fIstart\fR argument had not been specified. +.TP +\fBenclosed\fR \fIx1\fR \fIy1\fR \fIx2\fR \fIy2\fR +Selects all the items completely enclosed within the rectangular +region given by \fIx1\fR, \fIy1\fR, \fIx2\fR, and \fIy2\fR. +\fIX1\fR must be no greater then \fIx2\fR and \fIy1\fR must be +no greater than \fIy2\fR. +.TP +\fBoverlapping\fR \fIx1\fR \fIy1\fR \fIx2\fR \fIy2\fR +Selects all the items that overlap or are enclosed within the +rectangular region given by \fIx1\fR, \fIy1\fR, \fIx2\fR, +and \fIy2\fR. +\fIX1\fR must be no greater then \fIx2\fR and \fIy1\fR must be +no greater than \fIy2\fR. +.TP +\fBwithtag \fItagOrId\fR +Selects all the items given by \fItagOrId\fR. +.RE +.TP +\fIpathName \fBbbox \fItagOrId\fR ?\fItagOrId tagOrId ...\fR? +Returns a list with four elements giving an approximate bounding box +for all the items named by the \fItagOrId\fR arguments. +The list has the form ``\fIx1 y1 x2 y2\fR'' such that the drawn +areas of all the named elements are within the region bounded by +\fIx1\fR on the left, \fIx2\fR on the right, \fIy1\fR on the top, +and \fIy2\fR on the bottom. +The return value may overestimate the actual bounding box by +a few pixels. +If no items match any of the \fItagOrId\fR arguments or if the +matching items have empty bounding boxes (i.e. they have nothing +to display) +then an empty string is returned. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBbind \fItagOrId\fR ?\fIsequence\fR? ?\fIcommand\fR? +This command associates \fIcommand\fR with all the items given by +\fItagOrId\fR such that whenever the event sequence given by +\fIsequence\fR occurs for one of the items the command will +be invoked. +This widget command is similar to the \fBbind\fR command except that +it operates on items in a canvas rather than entire widgets. +See the \fBbind\fR manual entry for complete details +on the syntax of \fIsequence\fR and the substitutions performed +on \fIcommand\fR before invoking it. +If all arguments are specified then a new binding is created, replacing +any existing binding for the same \fIsequence\fR and \fItagOrId\fR +(if the first character of \fIcommand\fR is ``+'' then \fIcommand\fR +augments an existing binding rather than replacing it). +In this case the return value is an empty string. +If \fIcommand\fR is omitted then the command returns the \fIcommand\fR +associated with \fItagOrId\fR and \fIsequence\fR (an error occurs +if there is no such binding). +If both \fIcommand\fR and \fIsequence\fR are omitted then the command +returns a list of all the sequences for which bindings have been +defined for \fItagOrId\fR. +.RS +.PP +.VS +The only events for which bindings may be specified are those related to +the mouse and keyboard (such as \fBEnter\fR, \fBLeave\fR, +\fBButtonPress\fR, \fBMotion\fR, and \fBKeyPress\fR) or virtual events. +The handling of events in canvases uses the current item defined in ITEM +IDS AND TAGS above. \fBEnter\fR and \fBLeave\fR events trigger for an +item when it becomes the current item or ceases to be the current item; +note that these events are different than \fBEnter\fR and \fBLeave\fR +events for windows. Mouse-related events are directed to the current +item, if any. Keyboard-related events are directed to the focus item, if +any (see the \fBfocus\fR widget command below for more on this). If a +virtual event is used in a binding, that binding can trigger only if the +virtual event is defined by an underlying mouse-related or +keyboard-related event. +.VE +.PP +It is possible for multiple bindings to match a particular event. +This could occur, for example, if one binding is associated with the +item's id and another is associated with one of the item's tags. +When this occurs, all of the matching bindings are invoked. +A binding associated with the \fBall\fR tag is invoked first, +followed by one binding for each of the item's tags (in order), +followed by a binding associated with the item's id. +If there are multiple matching bindings for a single tag, +then only the most specific binding is invoked. +A \fBcontinue\fR command in a binding script terminates that +script, and a \fBbreak\fR command terminates that script +and skips any remaining scripts for the event, just as for the +\fBbind\fR command. +.PP +If bindings have been created for a canvas window using the \fBbind\fR +command, then they are invoked in addition to bindings created for +the canvas's items using the \fBbind\fR widget command. +The bindings for items will be invoked before any of the bindings +for the window as a whole. +.RE +.TP +\fIpathName \fBcanvasx \fIscreenx\fR ?\fIgridspacing\fR? +Given a window x-coordinate in the canvas \fIscreenx\fR, this command returns +the canvas x-coordinate that is displayed at that location. +If \fIgridspacing\fR is specified, then the canvas coordinate is +rounded to the nearest multiple of \fIgridspacing\fR units. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBcanvasy \fIscreeny\fR ?\fIgridspacing\fR? +Given a window y-coordinate in the canvas \fIscreeny\fR this command returns +the canvas y-coordinate that is displayed at that location. +If \fIgridspacing\fR is specified, then the canvas coordinate is +rounded to the nearest multiple of \fIgridspacing\fR units. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR +Returns the current value of the configuration option given +by \fIoption\fR. +\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBcanvas\fR +command. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBconfigure ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue\fR? ?\fIoption value ...\fR? +Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. +If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of +the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for +information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified +with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns a list describing the +one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding +sublist of the value returned if no \fIoption\fR is specified). If +one or more \fIoption\-value\fR pairs are specified, then the command +modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in +this case the command returns an empty string. +\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBcanvas\fR +command. +.TP +\fIpathName\fR \fBcoords \fItagOrId \fR?\fIx0 y0 ...\fR? +Query or modify the coordinates that define an item. +If no coordinates are specified, this command returns a list +whose elements are the coordinates of the item named by +\fItagOrId\fR. +If coordinates are specified, then they replace the current +coordinates for the named item. +If \fItagOrId\fR refers to multiple items, then +the first one in the display list is used. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBcreate \fItype x y \fR?\fIx y ...\fR? ?\fIoption value ...\fR? +Create a new item in \fIpathName\fR of type \fItype\fR. +The exact format of the arguments after \fBtype\fR depends +on \fBtype\fR, but usually they consist of the coordinates for +one or more points, followed by specifications for zero or +more item options. +See the subsections on individual item types below for more +on the syntax of this command. +This command returns the id for the new item. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBdchars \fItagOrId first \fR?\fIlast\fR? +For each item given by \fItagOrId\fR, delete the characters +in the range given by \fIfirst\fR and \fIlast\fR, +inclusive. +If some of the items given by \fItagOrId\fR don't support +text operations, then they are ignored. +\fIFirst\fR and \fIlast\fR are indices of characters +within the item(s) as described in INDICES above. +If \fIlast\fR is omitted, it defaults to \fIfirst\fR. +This command returns an empty string. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBdelete \fR?\fItagOrId tagOrId ...\fR? +Delete each of the items given by each \fItagOrId\fR, and return +an empty string. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBdtag \fItagOrId \fR?\fItagToDelete\fR? +For each of the items given by \fItagOrId\fR, delete the +tag given by \fItagToDelete\fR from the list of those +associated with the item. +If an item doesn't have the tag \fItagToDelete\fR then +the item is unaffected by the command. +If \fItagToDelete\fR is omitted then it defaults to \fItagOrId\fR. +This command returns an empty string. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBfind \fIsearchCommand \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR? +This command returns a list consisting of all the items that +meet the constraints specified by \fIsearchCommand\fR and +\fIarg\fR's. +\fISearchCommand\fR and \fIargs\fR have any of the forms +accepted by the \fBaddtag\fR command. +The items are returned in stacking order, with the lowest item first. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBfocus \fR?\fItagOrId\fR? +Set the keyboard focus for the canvas widget to the item given by +\fItagOrId\fR. +If \fItagOrId\fR refers to several items, then the focus is set +to the first such item in the display list that supports the +insertion cursor. +If \fItagOrId\fR doesn't refer to any items, or if none of them +support the insertion cursor, then the focus isn't changed. +If \fItagOrId\fR is an empty +string, then the focus item is reset so that no item has the focus. +If \fItagOrId\fR is not specified then the command returns the +id for the item that currently has the focus, or an empty string +if no item has the focus. +.RS +.PP +Once the focus has been set to an item, the item will display +the insertion cursor and all keyboard events will be directed +to that item. +The focus item within a canvas and the focus window on the +screen (set with the \fBfocus\fR command) are totally independent: +a given item doesn't actually have the input focus unless (a) +its canvas is the focus window and (b) the item is the focus item +within the canvas. +In most cases it is advisable to follow the \fBfocus\fR widget +command with the \fBfocus\fR command to set the focus window to +the canvas (if it wasn't there already). +.RE +.TP +\fIpathName \fBgettags\fR \fItagOrId\fR +Return a list whose elements are the tags associated with the +item given by \fItagOrId\fR. +If \fItagOrId\fR refers to more than one item, then the tags +are returned from the first such item in the display list. +If \fItagOrId\fR doesn't refer to any items, or if the item +contains no tags, then an empty string is returned. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBicursor \fItagOrId index\fR +Set the position of the insertion cursor for the item(s) +given by \fItagOrId\fR +to just before the character whose position is given by \fIindex\fR. +If some or all of the items given by \fItagOrId\fR don't support +an insertion cursor then this command has no effect on them. +See INDICES above for a description of the +legal forms for \fIindex\fR. +Note: the insertion cursor is only displayed in an item if +that item currently has the keyboard focus (see the widget +command \fBfocus\fR, below), but the cursor position may +be set even when the item doesn't have the focus. +This command returns an empty string. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBindex \fItagOrId index\fR +This command returns a decimal string giving the numerical index +within \fItagOrId\fR corresponding to \fIindex\fR. +\fIIndex\fR gives a textual description of the desired position +as described in INDICES above. +The return value is guaranteed to lie between 0 and the number +of characters within the item, inclusive. +If \fItagOrId\fR refers to multiple items, then the index +is processed in the first of these items that supports indexing +operations (in display list order). +.TP +\fIpathName \fBinsert \fItagOrId beforeThis string\fR +For each of the items given by \fItagOrId\fR, if the item supports +text insertion then \fIstring\fR is inserted into the item's +text just before the character whose index is \fIbeforeThis\fR. +See INDICES above for information about the forms allowed +for \fIbeforeThis\fR. +This command returns an empty string. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBitemcget\fR \fItagOrId\fR \fIoption\fR +Returns the current value of the configuration option for the +item given by \fItagOrId\fR whose name is \fIoption\fR. +This command is similar to the \fBcget\fR widget command except that +it applies to a particular item rather than the widget as a whole. +\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBcreate\fR +widget command when the item was created. +If \fItagOrId\fR is a tag that refers to more than one item, +the first (lowest) such item is used. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBitemconfigure \fItagOrId\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue\fR? ?\fIoption value ...\fR? +This command is similar to the \fBconfigure\fR widget command except +that it modifies item-specific options for the items given by +\fItagOrId\fR instead of modifying options for the overall +canvas widget. +If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of +the available options for the first item given by \fItagOrId\fR +(see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for +information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified +with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns a list describing the +one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding +sublist of the value returned if no \fIoption\fR is specified). If +one or more \fIoption\-value\fR pairs are specified, then the command +modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s) in +each of the items given by \fItagOrId\fR; in +this case the command returns an empty string. +The \fIoption\fRs and \fIvalue\fRs are the same as those permissible +in the \fBcreate\fR widget command when the item(s) were created; +see the sections describing individual item types below for details +on the legal options. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBlower \fItagOrId \fR?\fIbelowThis\fR? +Move all of the items given by \fItagOrId\fR to a new position +in the display list just before the item given by \fIbelowThis\fR. +If \fItagOrId\fR refers to more than one item then all are moved +but the relative order of the moved items will not be changed. +\fIBelowThis\fR is a tag or id; if it refers to more than one +item then the first (lowest) of these items in the display list is used +as the destination location for the moved items. +Note: this command has no effect on window items. Window items always +obscure other item types, and the stacking order of window items is +determined by the \fBraise\fR and \fBlower\fR commands, not the +\fBraise\fR and \fBlower\fR widget commands for canvases. +This command returns an empty string. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBmove \fItagOrId xAmount yAmount\fR +Move each of the items given by \fItagOrId\fR in the canvas coordinate +space by adding \fIxAmount\fR to the x-coordinate of each point +associated with the item and \fIyAmount\fR to the y-coordinate of +each point associated with the item. +This command returns an empty string. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBpostscript \fR?\fIoption value option value ...\fR? +Generate a Postscript representation for part or all of the canvas. +If the \fB\-file\fR option is specified then the Postscript is written +to a file and an empty string is returned; otherwise the Postscript +is returned as the result of the command. +.VS +If the interpreter that owns the canvas is marked as safe, the operation +will fail because safe interpreters are not allowed to write files. +If the \fB\-channel\fR option is specified, the argument denotes the name +of a channel already opened for writing. The Postscript is written to +that channel, and the channel is left open for further writing at the end +of the operation. +.VE +The Postscript is created in Encapsulated Postscript form using +version 3.0 of the Document Structuring Conventions. +Note: by default Postscript is only generated for information that +appears in the canvas's window on the screen. If the canvas is +freshly created it may still have its initial size of 1x1 pixel +so nothing will appear in the Postscript.

The \fBcheckbutton\fR command returns its +\fIpathName\fR argument. At the time this command is invoked, +there must not exist a window named \fIpathName\fR, but +\fIpathName\fR's parent must exist. +.PP +A checkbutton is a widget +that displays a textual string, bitmap or image +and a square called an \fIindicator\fR. +If text is displayed, it must all be in a single font, but it +can occupy multiple lines on the screen (if it contains newlines +or if wrapping occurs because of the \fBwrapLength\fR option) and +one of the characters may optionally be underlined using the +\fBunderline\fR option. +A checkbutton has +all of the behavior of a simple button, including the +following: it can display itself in either of three different +ways, according to the \fBstate\fR option; +it can be made to appear +raised, sunken, or flat; it can be made to flash; and it invokes +a Tcl command whenever mouse button 1 is clicked over the +checkbutton. +.PP +In addition, checkbuttons can be \fIselected\fR. +If a checkbutton is selected then the indicator is normally +.VS +drawn with a selected appearance, and +a Tcl variable associated with the checkbutton is set to a particular +value (normally 1). +Under Unix, the indicator is drawn with a sunken relief and a special +color. Under Windows, the indicator is drawn with a check mark inside. +If the checkbutton is not selected, then the indicator is drawn with a +deselected appearance, and the associated variable is +set to a different value (typically 0). +Under Unix, the indicator is drawn with a raised relief and no special +color. Under Windows, the indicator is drawn without a check mark inside. +.VE +By default, the name of the variable associated with a checkbutton is the +same as the \fIname\fR used to create the checkbutton. +The variable name, and the ``on'' and ``off'' values stored in it, +may be modified with options on the command line or in the option +database. +Configuration options may also be used to modify the way the +indicator is displayed (or whether it is displayed at all). +By default a checkbutton is configured to select and deselect +itself on alternate button clicks. +In addition, each checkbutton monitors its associated variable and +automatically selects and deselects itself when the variables value +changes to and from the button's ``on'' value. + +.SH "WIDGET COMMAND" +.PP +The \fBcheckbutton\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose +name is \fIpathName\fR. This +command may be used to invoke various +operations on the widget. It has the following general form: +.CS +\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR? +.CE +\fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs +determine the exact behavior of the command.

If \fIoption\fR is specified +with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns a list describing the +one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding +sublist of the value returned if no \fIoption\fR is specified). If +one or more \fIoption\-value\fR pairs are specified, then the command +modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in +this case the command returns an empty string. +\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBcheckbutton\fR +command. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBdeselect\fR +Deselects the checkbutton and sets the associated variable to its ``off'' +value. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBflash\fR +Flashes the checkbutton. This is accomplished by redisplaying the checkbutton +several times, alternating between active and normal colors. At +the end of the flash the checkbutton is left in the same normal/active +state as when the command was invoked. +This command is ignored if the checkbutton's state is \fBdisabled\fR. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBinvoke\fR +Does just what would have happened if the user invoked the checkbutton +with the mouse: toggle the selection state of the button and invoke +the Tcl command associated with the checkbutton, if there is one. +The return value is the return value from the Tcl command, or an +empty string if there is no command associated with the checkbutton. +This command is ignored if the checkbutton's state is \fBdisabled\fR. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBselect\fR +Selects the checkbutton and sets the associated variable to its ``on'' +value. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBtoggle\fR +Toggles the selection state of the button, redisplaying it and +modifying its associated variable to reflect the new state. + +.SH BINDINGS +.PP +Tk automatically creates class bindings for checkbuttons that give them +the following default behavior: +.VS +.IP [1] +On Unix systems, a checkbutton activates whenever the mouse passes +over it and deactivates whenever the mouse leaves the checkbutton. On +Mac and Windows systems, when mouse button 1 is pressed over a +checkbutton, the button activates whenever the mouse pointer is inside +the button, and deactivates whenever the mouse pointer leaves the +button. +.VE +.IP [2] +When mouse button 1 is pressed over a checkbutton, it is invoked (its +selection state toggles and the command associated with the button is +invoked, if there is one). +.VS +.IP [3] +When a checkbutton has the input focus, the space key causes the checkbutton +to be invoked.

If \fIformat\fR is +STRING, the selection is transmitted as 8-bit ASCII characters. If +\fIformat\fR is ATOM, then the \fIdata\fR is +divided into fields separated by white space; each field is converted +to its atom value, and the 32-bit atom value is transmitted instead of +the atom name. For any other \fIformat\fR, \fIdata\fR is divided +into fields separated by white space and each +field is converted to a 32-bit integer; an array of integers is +transmitted to the selection requester. Note that strings passed to +\fBclipboard append\fR are concatenated before conversion, so the +caller must take care to ensure appropriate spacing across string +boundaries. All items appended to the clipboard with the same +\fItype\fR must have the same \fIformat\fR. +.PP +The \fIformat\fR argument is needed only for compatibility with +clipboard requesters that don't use Tk.

The \fBentry\fR command returns its +\fIpathName\fR argument. At the time this command is invoked, +there must not exist a window named \fIpathName\fR, but +\fIpathName\fR's parent must exist. +.PP +An entry is a widget that displays a one-line text string and +allows that string to be edited using widget commands described below, which +are typically bound to keystrokes and mouse actions. +When first created, an entry's string is empty. +A portion of the entry may be selected as described below. +If an entry is exporting its selection (see the \fBexportSelection\fR +option), then it will observe the standard X11 protocols for handling the +selection; entry selections are available as type \fBSTRING\fR. +Entries also observe the standard Tk rules for dealing with the +input focus. When an entry has the input focus it displays an +\fIinsertion cursor\fR to indicate where new characters will be +inserted. +.PP +Entries are capable of displaying strings that are too long to +fit entirely within the widget's window. In this case, only a +portion of the string will be displayed; commands described below +may be used to change the view in the window. Entries use +the standard \fBxScrollCommand\fR mechanism for interacting with +scrollbars (see the description of the \fBxScrollCommand\fR option +for details). They also support scanning, as described below. + +.SH "WIDGET COMMAND" +.PP +The \fBentry\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose +name is \fIpathName\fR. This +command may be used to invoke various +operations on the widget. It has the following general form: +.CS +\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR? +.CE +\fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs +determine the exact behavior of the command. +.PP +Many of the widget commands for entries take one or more indices as +arguments. An index specifies a particular character in the entry's +string, in any of the following ways: +.TP 12 +\fInumber\fR +Specifies the character as a numerical index, where 0 corresponds +to the first character in the string. +.TP 12 +\fBanchor\fR +Indicates the anchor point for the selection, which is set with the +\fBselect from\fR and \fBselect adjust\fR widget commands. +.TP 12 +\fBend\fR +Indicates the character just after the last one in the entry's string. +This is equivalent to specifying a numerical index equal to the length +of the entry's string. +.TP 12 +\fBinsert\fR +Indicates the character adjacent to and immediately following the +insertion cursor. +.TP 12 +\fBsel.first\fR +Indicates the first character in the selection. It is an error to +use this form if the selection isn't in the entry window. +.TP 12 +\fBsel.last\fR +Indicates the character just after the last one in the selection. +It is an error to use this form if the selection isn't in the +entry window. +.TP 12 +\fB@\fInumber\fR +In this form, \fInumber\fR is treated as an x-coordinate in the +entry's window; the character spanning that x-coordinate is used. +For example, ``\fB@0\fR'' indicates the left-most character in the +window. +.LP +Abbreviations may be used for any of the forms above, e.g. ``\fBe\fR'' +or ``\fBsel.f\fR''. In general, out-of-range indices are automatically +rounded to the nearest legal value. +.PP +The following commands are possible for entry widgets: +.TP +\fIpathName \fBbbox \fIindex\fR +Returns a list of four numbers describing the bounding box of the +character given by \fIindex\fR. +The first two elements of the list give the x and y coordinates of +the upper-left corner of the screen area covered by the character +(in pixels relative to the widget) and the last two elements give +the width and height of the character, in pixels. +The bounding box may refer to a region outside the visible area +of the window. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR +Returns the current value of the configuration option given +by \fIoption\fR. +\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBentry\fR +command. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR? +Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. +If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of +the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for +information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified +with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns a list describing the +one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding +sublist of the value returned if no \fIoption\fR is specified). If +one or more \fIoption\-value\fR pairs are specified, then the command +modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in +this case the command returns an empty string. +\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBentry\fR +command. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBdelete \fIfirst \fR?\fIlast\fR? +Delete one or more elements of the entry. +\fIFirst\fR is the index of the first character to delete, and +\fIlast\fR is the index of the character just after the last +one to delete. +If \fIlast\fR isn't specified it defaults to \fIfirst\fR+1, +i.e. a single character is deleted. +This command returns an empty string. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBget\fR +Returns the entry's string. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBicursor \fIindex\fR +Arrange for the insertion cursor to be displayed just before the character +given by \fIindex\fR.

Returns an empty string. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBscan\fR \fIoption args\fR +This command is used to implement scanning on entries. It has +two forms, depending on \fIoption\fR: +.RS +.TP +\fIpathName \fBscan mark \fIx\fR +Records \fIx\fR and the current view in the entry window; used in +conjunction with later \fBscan dragto\fR commands. Typically this +command is associated with a mouse button press in the widget. It +returns an empty string. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBscan dragto \fIx\fR +This command computes the difference between its \fIx\fR argument +and the \fIx\fR argument to the last \fBscan mark\fR command for +the widget. It then adjusts the view left or right by 10 times the +difference in x-coordinates. This command is typically associated +with mouse motion events in the widget, to produce the effect of +dragging the entry at high speed through the window. The return +value is an empty string. +.RE +.TP +\fIpathName \fBselection \fIoption arg\fR +This command is used to adjust the selection within an entry. It +has several forms, depending on \fIoption\fR: +.RS +.TP +\fIpathName \fBselection adjust \fIindex\fR +Locate the end of the selection nearest to the character given by +\fIindex\fR, and adjust that end of the selection to be at \fIindex\fR +(i.e including but not going beyond \fIindex\fR). The other +end of the selection is made the anchor point for future +\fBselect to\fR commands. If the selection +isn't currently in the entry, then a new selection is created to +include the characters between \fIindex\fR and the most recent +selection anchor point, inclusive. +Returns an empty string. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBselection clear\fR +Clear the selection if it is currently in this widget. If the +selection isn't in this widget then the command has no effect. +Returns an empty string. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBselection from \fIindex\fR +Set the selection anchor point to just before the character +given by \fIindex\fR.

It can take any of the following +forms: +.RS +.TP +\fIpathName \fBxview\fR +Returns a list containing two elements. +Each element is a real fraction between 0 and 1; together they describe +the horizontal span that is visible in the window. +For example, if the first element is .2 and the second element is .6, +20% of the entry's text is off-screen to the left, the middle 40% is visible +in the window, and 40% of the text is off-screen to the right. +These are the same values passed to scrollbars via the \fB\-xscrollcommand\fR +option. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBxview\fR \fIindex\fR +Adjusts the view in the window so that the character given by \fIindex\fR +is displayed at the left edge of the window. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBxview moveto\fI fraction\fR +Adjusts the view in the window so that the character \fIfraction\fR of the +way through the text appears at the left edge of the window. +\fIFraction\fR must be a fraction between 0 and 1. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBxview scroll \fInumber what\fR +This command shifts the view in the window left or right according to +\fInumber\fR and \fIwhat\fR. +\fINumber\fR must be an integer. +\fIWhat\fR must be either \fBunits\fR or \fBpages\fR or an abbreviation +of one of these. +If \fIwhat\fR is \fBunits\fR, the view adjusts left or right by +\fInumber\fR average-width characters on the display; if it is +\fBpages\fR then the view adjusts by \fInumber\fR screenfuls. +If \fInumber\fR is negative then characters farther to the left +become visible; if it is positive then characters farther to the right +become visible. +.RE + +.SH "DEFAULT BINDINGS" +.PP +Tk automatically creates class bindings for entries that give them +the following default behavior. +In the descriptions below, ``word'' refers to a contiguous group +of letters, digits, or ``_'' characters, or any single character +other than these. +.IP [1] +Clicking mouse button 1 positions the insertion cursor +just before the character underneath the mouse cursor, sets the +input focus to this widget, and clears any selection in the widget. +Dragging with mouse button 1 strokes out a selection between +the insertion cursor and the character under the mouse. +.IP [2] +Double-clicking with mouse button 1 selects the word under the mouse +and positions the insertion cursor at the beginning of the word. +Dragging after a double click will stroke out a selection consisting +of whole words. +.IP [3] +Triple-clicking with mouse button 1 selects all of the text in the +entry and positions the insertion cursor before the first character. +.IP [4] +The ends of the selection can be adjusted by dragging with mouse +button 1 while the Shift key is down; this will adjust the end +of the selection that was nearest to the mouse cursor when button +1 was pressed. +If the button is double-clicked before dragging then the selection +will be adjusted in units of whole words. +.IP [5] +Clicking mouse button 1 with the Control key down will position the +insertion cursor in the entry without affecting the selection. +.IP [6] +If any normal printing characters are typed in an entry, they are +inserted at the point of the insertion cursor. +.IP [7] +The view in the entry can be adjusted by dragging with mouse button 2. +If mouse button 2 is clicked without moving the mouse, the selection +is copied into the entry at the position of the mouse cursor. +.IP [8] +If the mouse is dragged out of the entry on the left or right sides +while button 1 is pressed, the entry will automatically scroll to +make more text visible (if there is more text off-screen on the side +where the mouse left the window). +.IP [9] +The Left and Right keys move the insertion cursor one character to the +left or right; they also clear any selection in the entry and set +the selection anchor. +If Left or Right is typed with the Shift key down, then the insertion +cursor moves and the selection is extended to include the new character. +Control-Left and Control-Right move the insertion cursor by words, and +Control-Shift-Left and Control-Shift-Right move the insertion cursor +by words and also extend the selection. +Control-b and Control-f behave the same as Left and Right, respectively. +Meta-b and Meta-f behave the same as Control-Left and Control-Right, +respectively. +.IP [10] +The Home key, or Control-a, will move the insertion cursor to the +beginning of the entry and clear any selection in the entry. +Shift-Home moves the insertion cursor to the beginning of the entry +and also extends the selection to that point. +.IP [11] +The End key, or Control-e, will move the insertion cursor to the +end of the entry and clear any selection in the entry. +Shift-End moves the cursor to the end and extends the selection +to that point. +.IP [12] +The Select key and Control-Space set the selection anchor to the position +of the insertion cursor.

If the user types Control-y or presses button 2, or if +a \fB<>\fR virtual event is synthesized with \fBevent generate\fR, +then the \fB<>\fR binding will be invoked. +.PP +If a virtual binding has the exact same sequence as a separate +physical binding, then the physical binding will take precedence. +Consider the following example: +.CS +event add <> +bind Entry {puts Control-y} +bind Entry <> {puts Paste} +.CE +When the user types Control-y the \fB\fR binding +will be invoked, because a physical event is considered +more specific than a virtual event, all other things being equal. +However, when the user types Meta-Control-y the +\fB<>\fR binding will be invoked, because the +\fBMeta\fR modifier in the physical pattern associated with the +virtual binding is more specific than the \fB sequence for +the physical event. +.PP +Bindings on a virtual event may be created before the virtual event exists. +Indeed, the virtual event never actually needs to be defined, for instance, +on platforms where the specific virtual event would meaningless or +ungeneratable. +.PP +When a definition of a virtual event changes at run time, all windows +will respond immediately to the new definition. +Starting from the preceding example, if the following code is executed: +.CS +bind {} +event add <> +.CE +the behavior will change such in two ways. First, the shadowed +\fB<>\fR binding will emerge. +Typing Control-y will no longer invoke the \fB\fR binding, +but instead invoke the virtual event \fB<>\fR.

For example, some window managers +automatically set the input focus to a top-level window whenever +the mouse enters it; others redirect the input focus only when +the user clicks on a window. +Usually the window manager will set the focus +only to top-level windows, leaving it up to the application to +redirect the focus among the children of the top-level. +.PP +Tk remembers one focus window for each top-level (the most recent +descendant of that top-level to receive the focus); when the window +manager gives the focus +to a top-level, Tk automatically redirects it to the remembered +window.

When +a widget uses a named font, it is guaranteed that this will never cause an +error, as long as the named font exists, no matter what potentially invalid +or meaningless set of attributes the named font has. If the named font +cannot be displayed with exactly the specified attributes, some other close +font will be substituted automatically. +.TP +[2] \fIsystemfont\fR +. +The platform-specific name of a font, interpreted by the graphics server. +This also includes, under X, an XLFD (see [4]) for which a single ``\fB*\fR'' +character was used to elide more than one field in the middle of the +name. See PLATFORM-SPECIFIC issues for a list of the system fonts. +.VS 8.0 br +.TP +[3] \fIfamily \fR?\fIsize\fR? ?\fIstyle\fR? ?\fIstyle ...\fR? +. +A properly formed list whose first element is the desired font +\fIfamily\fR and whose optional second element is the desired \fIsize\fR. +The interpretation of the \fIsize\fR attribute follows the same rules +described for \fB\-size\fR in FONT OPTIONS below.

Possible values +for the \fIstyle\fR arguments are as follows: +.RS +.DS +.ta 3c 6c 9c +\fBnormal bold roman italic +underline overstrike\fR +.DE +.RE +.TP +[4] X-font names (XLFD) +. +A Unix-centric font name of the form +\fI-foundry-family-weight-slant-setwidth-addstyle-pixel-point-resx-resy-spacing-width-charset-encoding\fR. +The ``\fB*\fR'' character may be used to skip individual fields that the +user does not care about. There must be exactly one ``\fB*\fR'' for each +field skipped, except that a ``\fB*\fR'' at the end of the XLFD skips any +remaining fields; the shortest valid XLFD is simply ``\fB*\fR'', signifying +all fields as defaults. Any fields that were skipped are given default +values. For compatibility, an XLFD always chooses a font of the specified +pixel size (not point size); although this interpretation is not strictly +correct, all existing applications using XLFDs assumed that one ``point'' +was in fact one pixel and would display incorrectly (generally larger) if +the correct size font were actually used. +.VE +.TP +[5] \fIoption value \fR?\fIoption value ...\fR? +. +A properly formed list of \fIoption\fR\-\fIvalue\fR pairs that specify +the desired attributes of the font, in the same format used when defining +a named font; see FONT OPTIONS below. +.LP +When font description \fIfont\fR is used, the system attempts to parse the +description according to each of the above five rules, in the order specified. +Cases [1] and [2] must match the name of an existing named font or of a +system font. Cases [3], [4], and [5] are accepted on all +platforms and the closest available font will be used. In some situations +it may not be possible to find any close font (e.g., the font family was +a garbage value); in that case, some system-dependant default font is +chosen. If the font description does not match any of the above patterns, +an error is generated. +.SH "FONT METRICS" +. +The following options are used by the \fBfont metrics\fR command to query +font-specific data determined when the font was created. These properties are +for the whole font itself and not for individual characters drawn in that +font. In the following definitions, the ``baseline'' of a font is the +horizontal line where the bottom of most letters line up; certain letters, +such as lower-case ``g'' stick below the baseline. +.TP +\fB\-ascent \0\fR +. +The amount in pixels that the tallest letter sticks up above the baseline of +the font, plus any extra blank space added by the designer of the font. +.TP +\fB\-descent \0\fR +. +The largest amount in pixels that any letter sticks down below the baseline +of the font, plus any extra blank space added by the designer of the font. +.TP +\fB\-linespace\fR +. +Returns how far apart vertically in pixels two lines of text using the same +font should be placed so that none of the characters in one line overlap any +of the characters in the other line. This is generally the sum of the ascent +above the baseline line plus the descent below the baseline. +.TP +\fB\-fixed \0\fR +. +Returns a boolean flag that is ``\fB1\fR'' if this is a fixed-width font, +where each normal character is the the same width as all the other +characters, or is ``\fB0\fR'' if this is a proportionally-spaced font, where +individual characters have different widths. The widths of control +characters, tab characters, and other non-printing characters are not +included when calculating this value. +.SH "FONT OPTIONS" +The following options are supported on all platforms, and are used when +constructing a named font or when specifying a font using style [5] as +above: +.TP +\fB\-family \fIname\fR +. +The case-insensitive font family name. Tk guarantees to support the font +families named \fBCourier\fR (a monospaced ``typewriter'' font), \fBTimes\fR +(a serifed ``newspaper'' font), and \fBHelvetica\fR (a sans-serif +``European'' font). The most closely matching native font family will +automatically be substituted when one of the above font families is used. +The \fIname\fR may also be the name of a native, platform-specific font +family; in that case it will work as desired on one platform but may not +display correctly on other platforms. If the family is unspecified or +unrecognized, a platform-specific default font will be chosen. +.VS +.TP +\fB\-size \fIsize\fR +. +The desired size of the font.

The +\fBtk_getOpenFile\fR command is usually associated with the \fBOpen\fR +command in the \fBFile\fR menu. Its purpose is for the user to select an +existing file \fIonly\fR. If the user enters an non-existent file, the +dialog box gives the user an error prompt and requires the user to give +an alternative selection. If an application allows the user to create +new files, it should do so by providing a separate \fBNew\fR menu command. +.PP +The \fBtk_getSaveFile\fR command is usually associated with the \fBSave +as\fR command in the \fBFile\fR menu. If the user enters a file that +already exists, the dialog box prompts the user for confirmation +whether the existing file should be overwritten or not. +.PP +The following \fIoption\-value\fR pairs are possible as command line +arguments to these two commands: +.TP +\fB\-defaultextension\fR \fIextension\fR +Specifies a string that will be appended to the filename if the user +enters a filename without an extension. The defaut value is the empty +string, which means no extension will be appended to the filename in +any case. This option is ignored on the Macintosh platform, which +does not require extensions to filenames. +.TP +\fB\-filetypes\fR \fIfilePatternList\fR +If a \fBFile types\fR listbox exists in the file dialog on the particular +platform, this option gives the \fIfiletype\fRs in this listbox. When +the user choose a filetype in the listbox, only the files of that type +are listed. If this option is unspecified, or if it is set to the +empty list, or if the \fBFile types\fR listbox is not supported by the +particular platform then all files are listed regardless of their +types. See the section SPECIFYING FILE PATTERNS below for a +discussion on the contents of \fIfilePatternList\fR. +.TP +\fB\-initialdir\fR \fIdirectory\fR +Specifies that the files in \fIdirectory\fR should be displayed +when the dialog pops up. If this parameter is not specified, then +the files in the current working directory are displayed. This +option may not always work on the Macintosh. This is not a bug. +Rather, the \fIGeneral Controls\fR control panel on the Mac allows the +end user to override the application default directory. +.TP +\fB\-initialfile\fR \fIfilename\fR +Specifies a filename to be displayed in the dialog when it pops +up.

If the +user cancels the operation, both commands return the empty string. +.SH "SPECIFYING FILE PATTERNS" + +The \fIfilePatternList\fR value given by the \fB\-filetypes\fR option +is a list of file patterns. Each file pattern is a list of the +form +.CS +\fItypeName\fR {\fIextension\fR ?\fIextension ...\fR?} ?{\fImacType\fR ?\fImacType ...\fR?}? +.CE +\fItypeName\fR is the name of the file type described by this +file pattern and is the text string that appears in the \fBFile types\fR +listbox. \fIextension\fR is a file extension for this file pattern. +\fImacType\fR is a four-character Macintosh file type. The list of +\fImacType\fRs is optional and may be omitted for applications that do +not need to execute on the Macintosh platform. +.PP +Several file patterns may have the same \fItypeName,\fR in which case +they refer to the same file type and share the same entry in the +listbox. When the user selects an entry in the listbox, all the files +that match at least one of the file patterns corresponding +to that entry are listed. Usually, each file pattern corresponds to a +distinct type of file. The use of more than one file patterns for one +type of file is necessary on the Macintosh platform only. +.PP +On the Macintosh platform, a file matches a file pattern if its +name matches at least one of the \fIextension\fR(s) AND it +belongs to at least one of the \fImacType\fR(s) of the +file pattern. For example, the \fBC Source Files\fR file pattern in the +sample code matches with files that have a \fB\.c\fR extension AND +belong to the \fImacType\fR \fBTEXT\fR. To use the OR rule instead, +you can use two file patterns, one with the \fIextensions\fR only and +the other with the \fImacType\fR only. The \fBGIF Files\fR file type +in the sample code matches files that EITHER have a \fB\.gif\fR +extension OR belong to the \fImacType\fR \fBGIFF\fR. +.PP +On the Unix and Windows platforms, a file matches a file pattern +if its name matches at at least one of the \fIextension\fR(s) of +the file pattern. The \fImacType\fRs are ignored. +.SH "SPECIFYING EXTENSIONS" +.PP +On the Unix and Macintosh platforms, extensions are matched using +glob-style pattern matching. On the Windows platforms, extensions are +matched by the underlying operating system. The types of possible +extensions are: (1) the special extension * matches any +file; (2) the special extension "" matches any files that +do not have an extension (i.e., the filename contains no full stop +character); (3) any character string that does not contain any wild +card characters (* and ?). +.PP +Due to the different pattern matching rules on the various platforms, +to ensure portability, wild card characters are not allowed in the +extensions, except as in the special extension *.

If an application has windows +on multiple displays then it can establish a separate grab on each +display. +The grab on a particular display affects only the windows on +that display. +It is possible for different applications on a single display to have +simultaneous local grabs, but only one application can have a global +grab on a given display at once. +.PP +The \fBgrab\fR command can take any of the following forms: +.TP +\fBgrab \fR?\fB\-global\fR? \fIwindow\fR +Same as \fBgrab set\fR, described below. +.TP +\fBgrab current \fR?\fIwindow\fR? +If \fIwindow\fR is specified, returns the name of the current grab +window in this application for \fIwindow\fR's display, or an empty +string if there is no such window. +If \fIwindow\fR is omitted, the command returns a list whose elements +are all of the windows grabbed by this application for all displays, +or an empty string if the application has no grabs. +.TP +\fBgrab release \fIwindow\fR +Releases the grab on \fIwindow\fR if there is one, otherwise does +nothing. Returns an empty string. +.TP +\fBgrab set \fR?\fB\-global\fR? \fIwindow\fR +Sets a grab on \fIwindow\fR.

A row whose weight is two will grow at twice the rate as a row +of weight one when extra space is allocated to the layout. +The \fB-pad\fP option specifies the number of screen units that will be +added to the largest window contained completely in that row when the +grid geometry manager requests a size from the containing window. +If only an option is specified, with no value, +the current value of that option is returned. +If only the master window and index is specified, all the current settings +are returned in an list of "-option value" pairs. +.TP +\fBgrid remove \fIslave \fR?\fIslave ...\fR? +Removes each of the \fIslave\fRs from grid for its +master and unmaps their windows. +The slaves will no longer be managed by the grid geometry manager. +However, the configuration options for that window are remembered, +so that if the +slave is managed once more by the grid geometry manager, the previous +values are retained. +.TP +\fBgrid size \fImaster\fR +Returns the size of the grid (in columns then rows) for \fImaster\fP. +The size is determined either by the \fIslave\fP occupying the largest +row or column, or the largest column or row with a \fBminsize\fP, +\fBweight\fP, or \fBpad\fP that is non-zero. +.TP +\fBgrid slaves \fImaster\fR ?\fI\-option value\fR? +If no options are supplied, a list of all of the slaves in \fImaster\fR +are returned, most recently manages first. +\fIOption\fP can be either \fB\-row\fP or \fB\-column\fP which +causes only the slaves in the row (or column) specified by \fIvalue\fP +to be returned. +.SH "RELATIVE PLACEMENT" +.PP +The \fBgrid\fP command contains a limited set of capabilities that +permit layouts to be created without specifying the row and column +information for each slave. This permits slaves to be rearranged, +added, or removed without the need to explicitly specify row and +column information. +When no column or row information is specified for a \fIslave\fP, +default values are chosen for +\fBcolumn\fP, \fBrow\fP, \fBcolumnspan\fP and \fBrowspan\fP +at the time the \fIslave\fP is managed. The values are chosen +based upon the current layout of the grid, the position of the \fIslave\fP +relative to other \fIslave\fPs in the same grid command, and the presence +of the characters \fB\-\fP, \fB^\fP, and \fB^\fP in \fBgrid\fP +command where \fIslave\fP names are normally expected. +.RS +.TP +\fB\-\fP +This increases the columnspan of the \fIslave\fP to the left. Several +\fB\-\fP's in a row will successively increase the columnspan. A \fB\-\fP +may not follow a \fB^\fP or a \fBx\fP. +.TP +\fBx\fP +This leaves an empty column between the \fIslave\fP on the left and +the \fIslave\fP on the right. +.TP +\fB^\fP +This extends the \fBrowspan\fP of the \fIslave\fP above the \fB^\fP's +in the grid. The number of \fB^\fP's in a row must match the number of +columns spanned by the \fIslave\fP above it. +.RE +.SH "THE GRID ALGORITHM" +.PP +The grid geometry manager lays out its slaves in three steps. +In the first step, the minimum size needed to fit all of the slaves +is computed, then (if propagation is turned on), a request is made +of the master window to become that size. +In the second step, the requested size is compared against the actual size +of the master. If the sizes are different, then spaces is added to or taken +away from the layout as needed. +For the final step, each slave is positioned in its row(s) and column(s) +based on the setting of its \fIsticky\fP flag. +.PP +To compute the minimum size of a layout, the grid geometry manager +first looks at all slaves whose columnspan and rowspan values are one, +and computes the nominal size of each row or column to be either the +\fIminsize\fP for that row or column, or the sum of the \fIpad\fPding +plus the size of the largest slave, whichever is greater. Then the +slaves whose rowspans or columnspans are greater than one are +examined. If a group of rows or columns need to be increased in size +in order to accommodate these slaves, then extra space is added to each +row or column in the group according to its \fIweight\fP. For each +group whose weights are all zero, the additional space is apportioned +equally. +.PP +For masters whose size is larger than the requested layout, the additional +space is apportioned according to the row and column weights. If all of +the weights are zero, the layout is centered within its master. +For masters whose size is smaller than the requested layout, space is taken +away from columns and rows according to their weights. However, once a +column or row shrinks to its minsize, its weight is taken to be zero. +If more space needs to be removed from a layout than would be permitted, as +when all the rows or columns are at there minimum sizes, the layout is +clipped on the bottom and right. +.SH "GEOMETRY PROPAGATION" +.PP +The grid geometry manager normally computes how large a master must be to +just exactly meet the needs of its slaves, and it sets the +requested width and height of the master to these dimensions. +This causes geometry information to propagate up through a +window hierarchy to a top-level window so that the entire +sub-tree sizes itself to fit the needs of the leaf windows. +However, the \fBgrid propagate\fR command may be used to +turn off propagation for one or more masters. +If propagation is disabled then grid will not set +the requested width and height of the master window. +This may be useful if, for example, you wish for a master +window to have a fixed size that you specify. + +.SH "RESTRICTIONS ON MASTER WINDOWS" +.PP +The master for each slave must either be the slave's parent +(the default) or a descendant of the slave's parent. +This restriction is necessary to guarantee that the +slave can be placed over any part of its master that is +visible without danger of the slave being clipped by its parent. +In addition, all slaves in one call to \fBgrid\fP must have the same master. +.SH "STACKING ORDER" +.PP +If the master for a slave is not its parent then you must make sure +that the slave is higher in the stacking order than the master. +Otherwise the master will obscure the slave and it will appear as +if the slave hasn't been managed correctly. +The easiest way to make sure the slave is higher than the master is +to create the master window first: the most recently created window +will be highest in the stacking order. +.SH CREDITS +.PP +The \fBgrid\fP command is based on ideas taken from the \fIGridBag\fP +geometry manager written by Doug. Stein, and the \fBblt_table\fR geometry +manager, written by George Howlett. +.SH KEYWORDS +geometry manager, location, grid, cell, propagation, size, pack diff --git a/doc/image.n b/doc/image.n new file mode 100644 index 0000000..8189838 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/image.n @@ -0,0 +1,90 @@ +'\" +'\" Copyright (c) 1994 The Regents of the University of California. +'\" Copyright (c) 1994-1996 Sun Microsystems, Inc. +'\" +'\" See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and redistribution +'\" of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES. +'\" +'\" SCCS: @(#) image.n 1.10 96/03/26 18:23:05 +'\" +.so man.macros +.TH image n 4.0 Tk "Tk Built-In Commands" +.BS +'\" Note: do not modify the .SH NAME line immediately below! +.SH NAME +image \- Create and manipulate images +.SH SYNOPSIS +\fBimage\fR \fIoption \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR? +.BE + +.SH DESCRIPTION +.PP +The \fBimage\fR command is used to create, delete, and query images. +It can take several different forms, depending on the +\fIoption\fR argument.

Much of the behavior of a listbox is determined +by its \fBselectMode\fR option, which selects one of four ways +of dealing with the selection. +.PP +If the selection mode is \fBsingle\fR or \fBbrowse\fR, at most one +element can be selected in the listbox at once. +In both modes, clicking button 1 on an element selects +it and deselects any other selected item. +In \fBbrowse\fR mode it is also possible to drag the selection +with button 1. +.PP +If the selection mode is \fBmultiple\fR or \fBextended\fR, +any number of elements may be selected at once, including discontiguous +ranges. In \fBmultiple\fR mode, clicking button 1 on an element +toggles its selection state without affecting any other elements. +In \fBextended\fR mode, pressing button 1 on an element selects +it, deselects everything else, and sets the anchor to the element +under the mouse; dragging the mouse with button 1 +down extends the selection to include all the elements between +the anchor and the element under the mouse, inclusive. +.PP +Most people will probably want to use \fBbrowse\fR mode for +single selections and \fBextended\fR mode for multiple selections; +the other modes appear to be useful only in special situations. +.PP +In addition to the above behavior, the following additional behavior +is defined by the default bindings: +.IP [1] +In \fBextended\fR mode, the selected range can be adjusted by pressing +button 1 with the Shift key down: this modifies the selection to +consist of the elements between the anchor and the element under +the mouse, inclusive. +The un-anchored end of this new selection can also be dragged with +the button down. +.IP [2] +In \fBextended\fR mode, pressing button 1 with the Control key down +starts a toggle operation: the anchor is set to the element under +the mouse, and its selection state is reversed. The selection state +of other elements isn't changed. +If the mouse is dragged with button 1 down, then the selection state +of all elements between the anchor and the element under the mouse +is set to match that of the anchor element; the selection state of +all other elements remains what it was before the toggle operation +began. +.IP [3] +If the mouse leaves the listbox window with button 1 down, the window +scrolls away from the mouse, making information visible that used +to be off-screen on the side of the mouse. +The scrolling continues until the mouse re-enters the window, the +button is released, or the end of the listbox is reached. +.IP [4] +Mouse button 2 may be used for scanning. +If it is pressed and dragged over the listbox, the contents of +the listbox drag at high speed in the direction the mouse moves. +.IP [5] +If the Up or Down key is pressed, the location cursor (active +element) moves up or down one element. +If the selection mode is \fBbrowse\fR or \fBextended\fR then the +new active element is also selected and all other elements are +deselected. +In \fBextended\fR mode the new active element becomes the +selection anchor. +.IP [6] +In \fBextended\fR mode, Shift-Up and Shift-Down move the location +cursor (active element) up or down one element and also extend +the selection to that element in a fashion similar to dragging +with mouse button 1. +.IP [7] +The Left and Right keys scroll the listbox view left and right +by the width of the character \fB0\fR. +Control-Left and Control-Right scroll the listbox view left and +right by the width of the window. +Control-Prior and Control-Next also scroll left and right by +the width of the window. +.IP [8] +The Prior and Next keys scroll the listbox view up and down +by one page (the height of the window). +.IP [9] +The Home and End keys scroll the listbox horizontally to +the left and right edges, respectively. +.IP [10] +Control-Home sets the location cursor to the the first element in +the listbox, selects that element, and deselects everything else +in the listbox. +.IP [11] +Control-End sets the location cursor to the the last element in +the listbox, selects that element, and deselects everything else +in the listbox. +.IP [12] +In \fBextended\fR mode, Control-Shift-Home extends the selection +to the first element in the listbox and Control-Shift-End extends +the selection to the last element. +.IP [13] +In \fBmultiple\fR mode, Control-Shift-Home moves the location cursor +to the first element in the listbox and Control-Shift-End moves +the location cursor to the last element. +.IP [14] +The space and Select keys make a selection at the location cursor +(active element) just as if mouse button 1 had been pressed over +this element. +.IP [15] +In \fBextended\fR mode, Control-Shift-space and Shift-Select +extend the selection to the active element just as if button 1 +had been pressed with the Shift key down. +.IP [16] +In \fBextended\fR mode, the Escape key cancels the most recent +selection and restores all the elements in the selected range +to their previous selection state. +.IP [17] +Control-slash selects everything in the widget, except in +\fBsingle\fR and \fBbrowse\fR modes, in which case it selects +the active element and deselects everything else. +.IP [18] +Control-backslash deselects everything in the widget, except in +\fBbrowse\fR mode where it has no effect. +.IP [19] +The F16 key (labelled Copy on many Sun workstations) or Meta-w +copies the selection in the widget to the clipboard, if there is +a selection. + +.PP +The behavior of listboxes can be changed by defining new bindings for +individual widgets or by redefining the class bindings. + +.SH KEYWORDS +listbox, widget diff --git a/doc/loadTk.n b/doc/loadTk.n new file mode 100644 index 0000000..16e3532 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/loadTk.n @@ -0,0 +1,86 @@ +'\" +'\" Copyright (c) 1995-1996 Sun Microsystems, Inc. +'\" +'\" See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and redistribution +'\" of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES. +'\" +'\" SCCS: @(#) loadTk.n 1.5 97/08/18 17:44:43 +'\" +.so man.macros +.TH "Safe Tk" n 8.0 Tk "Tk Built-In Commands" +.BS +'\" Note: do not modify the .SH NAME line immediately below! +.SH NAME +loadTk \- Load Tk into a safe interpreter. +.SH SYNOPSIS +\fB::safe::loadTk \fIslave\fR ?\fB\-use\fR \fIwindowId\fR?

This is used +by the cloning mechanism and is not normally set outside of the Tk +library. +.VE +.BE + +.SH INTRODUCTION +.PP +The \fBmenu\fR command creates a new top-level window (given +by the \fIpathName\fR argument) and makes it into a menu widget. +Additional +options, described above, may be specified on the command line +or in the option database +to configure aspects of the menu such as its colors and font. +The \fBmenu\fR command returns its +\fIpathName\fR argument. At the time this command is invoked, +there must not exist a window named \fIpathName\fR, but +\fIpathName\fR's parent must exist. +.PP +.VS +A menu is a widget that displays a collection of one-line entries arranged +in one or more columns. There exist several different types of entries, +each with different properties. Entries of different types may be +combined in a single menu. Menu entries are not the same as +entry widgets. In fact, menu entries are not even distinct widgets; +the entire menu is one widget. +.VE +.PP +Menu entries are displayed with up to three separate fields. +The main field is a label in the form of a text string, +a bitmap, or an image, controlled by the \fB\-label\fR, +\fB\-bitmap\fR, and \fB\-image\fR options for the entry. +If the \fB\-accelerator\fR option is specified for an entry then a second +textual field is displayed to the right of the label. The accelerator +typically describes a keystroke sequence that may be typed in the +application to cause the same result as invoking the menu entry. +The third field is an \fIindicator\fR. The indicator is present only for +checkbutton or radiobutton entries. It indicates whether the entry +is selected or not, and is displayed to the left of the entry's +string. +.PP +In normal use, an entry becomes active (displays itself differently) +whenever the mouse pointer is over the entry. If a mouse +button is released over the entry then the entry is \fIinvoked\fR. +The effect of invocation is different for each type of entry; +these effects are described below in the sections on individual +entries. +.PP +Entries may be \fIdisabled\fR, which causes their labels +and accelerators to be displayed +with dimmer colors. +The default menu bindings will not allow +a disabled entry to be activated or invoked. +Disabled entries may be re-enabled, at which point it becomes +possible to activate and invoke them again. +.VS +.PP +Whenever a menu's active entry is changed, a <> virtual +event is send to the menu. The active item can then be queried from +the menu, and an action can be taken, such as setting +context-sensitive help text for the entry. +.VE + +.SH "COMMAND ENTRIES" +.PP +The most common kind of menu entry is a command entry, which +behaves much like a button widget. When a command entry is +invoked, a Tcl command is executed. The Tcl +command is specified with the \fB\-command\fR option. + +.SH "SEPARATOR ENTRIES" +.PP +A separator is an entry that is displayed as a horizontal dividing +line. A separator may not be activated or invoked, and it has +no behavior other than its display appearance. + +.SH "CHECKBUTTON ENTRIES" +.PP +A checkbutton menu entry behaves much like a checkbutton widget. +When it is invoked it toggles back and forth between the selected +and deselected states. When the entry is selected, a particular +value is stored in a particular global variable (as determined by +the \fB\-onvalue\fR and \fB\-variable\fR options for the entry); when +the entry is deselected another value (determined by the +\fB\-offvalue\fR option) is stored in the global variable. +An indicator box is displayed to the left of the label in a checkbutton +entry. If the entry is selected then the indicator's center is displayed +in the color given by the \fB-selectcolor\fR option for the entry; +otherwise the indicator's center is displayed in the background color for +the menu. If a \fB\-command\fR option is specified for a checkbutton +entry, then its value is evaluated as a Tcl command each time the entry +is invoked; this happens after toggling the entry's +selected state. + +.SH "RADIOBUTTON ENTRIES" +.PP +A radiobutton menu entry behaves much like a radiobutton widget. +Radiobutton entries are organized in groups of which only one +entry may be selected at a time. Whenever a particular entry +becomes selected it stores a particular value into a particular +global variable (as determined by the \fB\-value\fR and +\fB\-variable\fR options for the entry). This action +causes any previously-selected entry in the same group +to deselect itself. +Once an entry has become selected, any change to the entry's +associated variable will cause the entry to deselect itself. +Grouping of radiobutton entries is determined by their +associated variables: if two entries have the same associated +variable then they are in the same group. +An indicator diamond is displayed to the left of the label in each +radiobutton entry. If the entry is selected then the indicator's +center is displayed in the color given by the \fB\-selectcolor\fR option +for the entry; +otherwise the indicator's center is displayed in the background color for +the menu. If a \fB\-command\fR option is specified for a radiobutton +entry, then its value is evaluated as a Tcl command each time the entry +is invoked; this happens after selecting the entry. + +.SH "CASCADE ENTRIES" +.PP +A cascade entry is one with an associated menu (determined +by the \fB\-menu\fR option). Cascade entries allow the construction +of cascading menus. +The \fBpostcascade\fR widget command can be used to post and unpost +the associated menu just next to of the cascade entry. +The associated menu must be a child of the menu containing +the cascade entry (this is needed in order for menu traversal to +work correctly). +.PP +A cascade entry posts its associated menu by invoking a +Tcl command of the form +.CS +\fImenu\fB post \fIx y\fR +.CE +where \fImenu\fR is the path name of the associated menu, and \fIx\fR +and \fIy\fR are the root-window coordinates of the upper-right +corner of the cascade entry. +.VS +On Unix, the lower-level menu is unposted by executing a Tcl command with +the form +.CS +\fImenu\fB unpost\fR +.CE +where \fImenu\fR is the name of the associated menu. +On other platforms, the platform's native code takes care of unposting the +menu. +.VE +.PP +.VS +If a \fB\-command\fR option is specified for a cascade entry then it is +evaluated as a Tcl command whenever the entry is invoked. This is not +supported on Windows. +.VE + +.SH "TEAR-OFF ENTRIES" +.PP +A tear-off entry appears at the top of the menu if enabled with the +\fBtearOff\fR option. It is not like other menu entries in that +it cannot be created with the \fBadd\fR widget command and +cannot be deleted with the \fBdelete\fR widget command. +When a tear-off entry is created it appears as a dashed line at +the top of the menu. Under the default bindings, invoking the +tear-off entry causes a torn-off copy to be made of the menu and +all of its submenus. + +.VS +.SH "MENUBARS" +.PP +Any menu can be set as a menubar for a toplevel window (see +\fBtoplevel\fR command for syntax). On the Macintosh, whenever the +toplevel is in front, this menu's cascade items will appear in the +menubar across the top of the main monitor. On Windows and Unix, this +menu's items will be displayed in a menubar accross the top of the +window. These menus will behave according to the interface guidelines +of their platforms. For every menu set as a menubar, a clone menu is +made. See the \fBCLONES\fR section for more information. +.VE + +.VS +.SH "SPECIAL MENUS IN MENUBARS" +.PP +Certain menus in a menubar will be treated specially. On the Macintosh, +access to the special Apple and Help menus is provided. On Windows, +access to the Windows System menu in each window is provided. On X Windows, +a special right-justified help menu is provided. In all cases, these +menus must be created with the command name of the menubar menu concatenated +with the special name. So for a menubar named .menubar, on the Macintosh, +the special menus would be .menubar.apple and .menubar.help; on Windows, +the special menu would be .menubar.system; on X Windows, the help +menu would be .menubar.help. +.PP +When Tk sees an Apple menu on the Macintosh, that menu's contents make +up the first items of the Apple menu on the screen whenever the window +containing the menubar is in front. The menu is the +first one that the user sees and has a title which is an Apple logo. +After all of the Tk-defined items, the menu will have a separator, +followed by all of the items in the user's Apple Menu Items folder. +Since the System uses a different menu definition procedure for +the Apple menu than Tk uses for its menus, and the system APIs do +not fully support everything Tk tries to do, the menu item will only +have its text displayed. No font attributes, images, bitmaps, or colors +will be displayed. In addition, a menu with a tearoff item will have +the tearoff item displayed as "(TearOff)". +.PP +When Tk see a Help menu on the Macintosh, the menu's contents are +appended to the standard help menu on the right of the user's menubar +whenever the user's menubar is in front. The first items in the menu +are provided by Apple. Similar to the Apple Menu, cusomization in this +menu is limited to what the system provides. +.PP +When Tk sees a System menu on Windows, its items are appended to the +system menu that the menubar is attached to. This menu has an icon +representing a spacebar, and can be invoked with the mouse or by typing +Alt+Spacebar. Due to limitations in the Windows API, any font changes, +colors, images, bitmaps, or tearoff images will not appear in the +system menu. +.PP +When Tk see a Help menu on X Windows, the menu is moved to be last in +the menubar and is right justified. +.VE + +.VS +.SH "CLONES" +.PP +When a menu is set as a menubar for a toplevel window, or when a menu +is torn off, a clone of the menu is made. This clone is a menu widget +in its own right, but it is a child of the original. Changes in the +configuration of the original are reflected in the +clone. Additionally, any cascades that are pointed to are also cloned +so that menu traversal will work right. Clones are destroyed when +either the tearoff or menubar goes away, or when the original menu is +destroyed. +.VE + +.SH "WIDGET COMMAND" +.PP +The \fBmenu\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose +name is \fIpathName\fR. This +command may be used to invoke various +operations on the widget. It has the following general form: +.CS +\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR? +.CE +\fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs +determine the exact behavior of the command. +.PP +Many of the widget commands for a menu take as one argument an +indicator of which entry of the menu to operate on. These +indicators are called \fIindex\fRes and may be specified in +any of the following forms: +.TP 12 +\fInumber\fR +Specifies the entry numerically, where 0 corresponds +to the top-most entry of the menu, 1 to the entry below it, and +so on. +.TP 12 +\fBactive\fR +Indicates the entry that is currently active. If no entry is +active then this form is equivalent to \fBnone\fR. This form may +not be abbreviated. +.TP 12 +\fBend\fR +Indicates the bottommost entry in the menu. If there are no +entries in the menu then this form is equivalent to \fBnone\fR. +This form may not be abbreviated. +.TP 12 +\fBlast\fR +Same as \fBend\fR. +.TP 12 +\fBnone\fR +Indicates ``no entry at all''; this is used most commonly with +the \fBactivate\fR option to deactivate all the entries in the +menu. In most cases the specification of \fBnone\fR causes +nothing to happen in the widget command. +This form may not be abbreviated. +.TP 12 +\fB@\fInumber\fR +In this form, \fInumber\fR is treated as a y-coordinate in the +menu's window; the entry closest to that y-coordinate is used. +For example, ``\fB@0\fR'' indicates the top-most entry in the +window. +.TP 12 +\fIpattern\fR +If the index doesn't satisfy one of the above forms then this +form is used. \fIPattern\fR is pattern-matched against the label of +each entry in the menu, in order from the top down, until a +matching entry is found. The rules of \fBTcl_StringMatch\fR +are used. +.PP +The following widget commands are possible for menu widgets: +.TP +\fIpathName \fBactivate \fIindex\fR +Change the state of the entry indicated by \fIindex\fR to \fBactive\fR +and redisplay it using its active colors. +Any previously-active entry is deactivated. If \fIindex\fR +is specified as \fBnone\fR, or if the specified entry is +disabled, then the menu ends up with no active entry. +Returns an empty string. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBadd \fItype \fR?\fIoption value option value ...\fR? +Add a new entry to the bottom of the menu. The new entry's type +is given by \fItype\fR and must be one of \fBcascade\fR, +\fBcheckbutton\fR, \fBcommand\fR, \fBradiobutton\fR, or \fBseparator\fR, +or a unique abbreviation of one of the above. If additional arguments +are present, they specify any of the following options: +.RS +.TP +\fB\-activebackground \fIvalue\fR +Specifies a background color to use for displaying this entry when it +is active. +If this option is specified as an empty string (the default), then the +\fBactiveBackground\fR option for the overall menu is used. +If the \fBtk_strictMotif\fR variable has been set to request strict +Motif compliance, then this option is ignored and the \fB\-background\fR +option is used in its place. +This option is not available for separator or tear-off entries. +.TP +\fB\-activeforeground \fIvalue\fR +Specifies a foreground color to use for displaying this entry when it +is active. +If this option is specified as an empty string (the default), then the +\fBactiveForeground\fR option for the overall menu is used. +This option is not available for separator or tear-off entries. +.TP +\fB\-accelerator \fIvalue\fR +Specifies a string to display at the right side of the menu entry. +Normally describes an accelerator keystroke sequence that may be +typed to invoke the same function as the menu entry. This option +is not available for separator or tear-off entries. +.TP +\fB\-background \fIvalue\fR +Specifies a background color to use for displaying this entry when it +is in the normal state (neither active nor disabled). +If this option is specified as an empty string (the default), then the +\fBbackground\fR option for the overall menu is used. +This option is not available for separator or tear-off entries. +.TP +\fB\-bitmap \fIvalue\fR +Specifies a bitmap to display in the menu instead of a textual +label, in any of the forms accepted by \fBTk_GetBitmap\fR. +This option overrides the \fB\-label\fR option but may be reset +to an empty string to enable a textual label to be displayed. +If a \fB\-image\fR option has been specified, it overrides +\fB\-bitmap\fR. +This option is not available for separator or tear-off entries. +.VS +.TP +\fB\-columnbreak \fIvalue\fR +When this option is zero, the appears below the previous entry. When +this option is one, the menu appears at the top of a new column in the +menu. +.VE +.TP +\fB\-command \fIvalue\fR +Specifies a Tcl command to execute when the menu entry is invoked. +Not available for separator or tear-off entries. +.TP +\fB\-font \fIvalue\fR +Specifies the font to use when drawing the label or accelerator +string in this entry. +If this option is specified as an empty string (the default) then +the \fBfont\fR option for the overall menu is used. +This option is not available for separator or tear-off entries. +.TP +\fB\-foreground \fIvalue\fR +Specifies a foreground color to use for displaying this entry when it +is in the normal state (neither active nor disabled). +If this option is specified as an empty string (the default), then the +\fBforeground\fR option for the overall menu is used. +This option is not available for separator or tear-off entries. +.VS +.TP +\fB\-hidemargin \fIvalue\fR +Specifies whether the standard margins should be drawn for this menu +entry. This is useful when creating palette with images in them, i.e., +color palettes, pattern palettes, etc. 1 indicates that the margin for +the entry is hidden; 0 means that the margin is used. +.VE +.TP +\fB\-image \fIvalue\fR +Specifies an image to display in the menu instead of a text string +or bitmap +The image must have been created by some previous invocation of +\fBimage create\fR. +This option overrides the \fB\-label\fR and \fB\-bitmap\fR options +but may be reset to an empty string to enable a textual or +bitmap label to be displayed. +This option is not available for separator or tear-off entries. +.TP +\fB\-indicatoron \fIvalue\fR +Available only for checkbutton and radiobutton entries. +\fIValue\fR is a boolean that determines whether or not the +indicator should be displayed. +.TP +\fB\-label \fIvalue\fR +Specifies a string to display as an identifying label in the menu +entry. Not available for separator or tear-off entries. +.TP +\fB\-menu \fIvalue\fR +Available only for cascade entries. Specifies the path name of +the submenu associated with this entry. +The submenu must be a child of the menu. +.TP +\fB\-offvalue \fIvalue\fR +Available only for checkbutton entries. Specifies the value to +store in the entry's associated variable when the entry is +deselected. +.TP +\fB\-onvalue \fIvalue\fR +Available only for checkbutton entries. Specifies the value to +store in the entry's associated variable when the entry is selected. +.TP +\fB\-selectcolor \fIvalue\fR +Available only for checkbutton and radiobutton entries. +Specifies the color to display in the indicator when the entry is +selected. +If the value is an empty string (the default) then the \fBselectColor\fR +option for the menu determines the indicator color. +.TP +\fB\-selectimage \fIvalue\fR +Available only for checkbutton and radiobutton entries. +Specifies an image to display in the entry (in place of +the \fB\-image\fR option) when it is selected. +\fIValue\fR is the name of an image, which must have been created +by some previous invocation of \fBimage create\fR. +This option is ignored unless the \fB\-image\fR option has +been specified. +.TP +\fB\-state \fIvalue\fR +Specifies one of three states for the entry: \fBnormal\fR, \fBactive\fR, +or \fBdisabled\fR. In normal state the entry is displayed using the +\fBforeground\fR option for the menu and the \fBbackground\fR +option from the entry or the menu. +The active state is typically used when the pointer is over the entry. +In active state the entry is displayed using the \fBactiveForeground\fR +option for the menu along with the \fBactivebackground\fR option from +the entry. Disabled state means that the entry +should be insensitive: the default bindings will refuse to activate +or invoke the entry. +In this state the entry is displayed according to the +\fBdisabledForeground\fR option for the menu and the +\fBbackground\fR option from the entry. +This option is not available for separator entries. +.TP +\fB\-underline \fIvalue\fR +Specifies the integer index of a character to underline in the entry. +This option is also queried by the default bindings and used to +implement keyboard traversal. +0 corresponds to the first character of the text displayed in the entry, +1 to the next character, and so on. +If a bitmap or image is displayed in the entry then this option is ignored. +This option is not available for separator or tear-off entries. +.TP +\fB\-value \fIvalue\fR +Available only for radiobutton entries. Specifies the value to +store in the entry's associated variable when the entry is selected. +If an empty string is specified, then the \fB\-label\fR option +for the entry as the value to store in the variable. +.TP +\fB\-variable \fIvalue\fR +Available only for checkbutton and radiobutton entries. Specifies +the name of a global value to set when the entry is selected. +For checkbutton entries the variable is also set when the entry +is deselected. For radiobutton entries, changing the variable +causes the currently-selected entry to deselect itself. +.LP +The \fBadd\fR widget command returns an empty string. +.RE +.TP +\fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR +Returns the current value of the configuration option given +by \fIoption\fR. +\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBmenu\fR +command. +.VS +.TP +\fIpathName\fR \fBclone\fR \fInewPathname ?cloneType?\fR +Makes a clone of the current menu named \fInewPathName\fR. This clone +is a menu in its own right, but any changes to the clone are +propogated to the original menu and vice versa. \fIcloneType\fR can be +\fBnormal\fR, \fBmenubar\fR, or \fBtearoff\fR. Should not normally be +called outside of the Tk library. See the \fBCLONES\fR section for +more information. +.VE +.TP +\fIpathName \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR? +Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. +If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of +the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for +information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified +with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns a list describing the +one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding +sublist of the value returned if no \fIoption\fR is specified). If +one or more \fIoption\-value\fR pairs are specified, then the command +modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in +this case the command returns an empty string. +\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBmenu\fR +command. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBdelete \fIindex1\fR ?\fIindex2\fR? +Delete all of the menu entries between \fIindex1\fR and +\fIindex2\fR inclusive. +If \fIindex2\fR is omitted then it defaults to \fIindex1\fR. +Attempts to delete a tear-off menu entry are ignored (instead, you +should change the \fBtearOff\fR option to remove the tear-off entry). +.TP +\fIpathName \fBentrycget\fR \fIindex option\fR +Returns the current value of a configuration option for +the entry given by \fIindex\fR. +\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBadd\fR +widget command. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBentryconfigure \fIindex \fR?\fIoptions\fR? +This command is similar to the \fBconfigure\fR command, except that +it applies to the options for an individual entry, whereas \fBconfigure\fR +applies to the options for the menu as a whole. +\fIOptions\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBadd\fR +widget command. If \fIoptions\fR are specified, options are modified +as indicated +in the command and the command returns an empty string. +If no \fIoptions\fR are specified, returns a list describing +the current options for entry \fIindex\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for +information on the format of this list). +.TP +\fIpathName \fBindex \fIindex\fR +Returns the numerical index corresponding to \fIindex\fR, or +\fBnone\fR if \fIindex\fR was specified as \fBnone\fR. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBinsert \fIindex\fR \fItype \fR?\fIoption value option value ...\fR? +Same as the \fBadd\fR widget command except that it inserts the new +entry just before the entry given by \fIindex\fR, instead of appending +to the end of the menu. The \fItype\fR, \fIoption\fR, and \fIvalue\fR +arguments have the same interpretation as for the \fBadd\fR widget +command. It is not possible to insert new menu entries before the +tear-off entry, if the menu has one. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBinvoke \fIindex\fR +Invoke the action of the menu entry. See the sections on the +individual entries above for details on what happens. If the +menu entry is disabled then nothing happens. If the +entry has a command associated with it then the result of that +command is returned as the result of the \fBinvoke\fR widget +command. Otherwise the result is an empty string. Note: invoking +a menu entry does not automatically unpost the menu; the default +bindings normally take care of this before invoking the \fBinvoke\fR +widget command. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBpost \fIx y\fR +Arrange for the menu to be displayed on the screen at the root-window +coordinates given by \fIx\fR and \fIy\fR. These coordinates are +adjusted if necessary to guarantee that the entire menu is visible on +the screen. This command normally returns an empty string. +If the \fBpostCommand\fR option has been specified, then its value is +executed as a Tcl script before posting the menu and the result of +that script is returned as the result of the \fBpost\fR widget +command. +If an error returns while executing the command, then the error is +returned without posting the menu. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBpostcascade \fIindex\fR +Posts the submenu associated with the cascade entry given by +\fIindex\fR, and unposts any previously posted submenu. +If \fIindex\fR doesn't correspond to a cascade entry, +or if \fIpathName\fR isn't posted, +the command has no effect except to unpost any currently posted +submenu. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBtype \fIindex\fR +Returns the type of the menu entry given by \fIindex\fR. +This is the \fItype\fR argument passed to the \fBadd\fR widget +command when the entry was created, such as \fBcommand\fR +or \fBseparator\fR, or \fBtearoff\fR for a tear-off entry. +.TP +.VS +\fIpathName \fBunpost\fR +Unmap the window so that it is no longer displayed. If a +lower-level cascaded menu is posted, unpost that menu. Returns an +empty string. This subcommand does not work on Windows and the +Macintosh, as those platforms have their own way of unposting menus. +.VE +.TP +\fIpathName \fByposition \fIindex\fR +Returns a decimal string giving the y-coordinate within the menu +window of the topmost pixel in the entry specified by \fIindex\fR. + +.SH "MENU CONFIGURATIONS" +.PP +The default bindings support four different ways of using menus: +.VS +.TP +\fBPulldown Menus in Menubar\fR +This is the most command case. You create a menu widget that will become the +menu bar. You then add cascade entries to this menu, specifying the +pull down menus you wish to use in your menu bar. You then create all +of the pulldowns. Once you have done this, specify the menu using the +\fB-menu\fR option of the toplevel's widget command. See the +\fBtoplevel\fR manual entry for details. +.VE +.TP +\fBPulldown Menus in Menu Buttons\fR +This is the compatable way to do menu bars. You create one menubutton +widget for each top-level menu, and typically you arrange a series of +menubuttons in a row in a menubar window. You also create the top-level menus +and any cascaded submenus, and tie them together with \fB\-menu\fR +options in menubuttons and cascade menu entries. The top-level menu must +be a child of the menubutton, and each submenu must be a child of the +menu that refers to it. Once you have done this, the default bindings +will allow users to traverse and invoke the tree of menus via its +menubutton; see the \fBmenubutton\fR manual entry for details. +.TP +\fBPopup Menus\fR +Popup menus typically post in response to a mouse button press or +keystroke. You create the popup menus and any cascaded submenus, +then you call the \fBtk_popup\fR procedure at the appropriate time +to post the top-level menu. +.TP +\fBOption Menus\fR +An option menu consists of a menubutton with an associated menu +that allows you to select one of several values. The current value +is displayed in the menubutton and is also stored in a global +variable. Use the \fBtk_optionMenu\fR procedure to create option +menubuttons and their menus. +.TP +\fBTorn-off Menus\fR +You create a torn-off menu by invoking the tear-off entry at +the top of an existing menu. The default bindings will create a new menu +that is a copy of the original menu and leave it permanently +posted as a top-level window. The torn-off menu behaves just +the same as the original menu. + +.SH "DEFAULT BINDINGS" +.PP +Tk automatically creates class bindings for menus that give them +the following default behavior: +.IP [1] +When the mouse enters a menu, the entry underneath the mouse +cursor activates; as the mouse moves around the menu, the active +entry changes to track the mouse. +.IP [2] +When the mouse leaves a menu all of the entries in the menu +deactivate, except in the special case where the mouse moves from +a menu to a cascaded submenu. +.IP [3] +When a button is released over a menu, the active entry (if any) is invoked. +The menu also unposts unless it is a torn-off menu. +.IP [4] +The Space and Return keys invoke the active entry and +unpost the menu. +.IP [5] +If any of the entries in a menu have letters underlined with +with \fB\-underline\fR option, then pressing one of the underlined +letters (or its upper-case or lower-case equivalent) invokes that +entry and unposts the menu. +.IP [6] +The Escape key aborts a menu selection in progress without invoking any +entry. It also unposts the menu unless it is a torn-off menu. +.IP [7] +The Up and Down keys activate the next higher or lower entry +in the menu. When one end of the menu is reached, the active +entry wraps around to the other end. +.IP [8] +The Left key moves to the next menu to the left. +If the current menu is a cascaded submenu, then the submenu is +unposted and the current menu entry becomes the cascade entry +in the parent. +If the current menu is a top-level menu posted from a +menubutton, then the current menubutton is unposted and the +next menubutton to the left is posted. +Otherwise the key has no effect. +The left-right order of menubuttons is determined by their stacking +order: Tk assumes that the lowest menubutton (which by default +is the first one created) is on the left. +.IP [9] +The Right key moves to the next menu to the right. +If the current entry is a cascade entry, then the submenu is +posted and the current menu entry becomes the first entry +in the submenu. +Otherwise, if the current menu was posted from a +menubutton, then the current menubutton is unposted and the +next menubutton to the right is posted. +.PP +Disabled menu entries are non-responsive: they don't activate and +they ignore mouse button presses and releases. +.PP +The behavior of menus can be changed by defining new bindings for +individual widgets or by redefining the class bindings. + +.SH BUGS +.PP +At present it isn't possible to use the +option database to specify values for the options to individual +entries. + +.SH KEYWORDS +menu, widget diff --git a/doc/menubar.n b/doc/menubar.n new file mode 100644 index 0000000..09ea053 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/menubar.n @@ -0,0 +1,33 @@ +'\" +'\" Copyright (c) 1992 The Regents of the University of California. +'\" Copyright (c) 1994-1996 Sun Microsystems, Inc. +'\" +'\" See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and redistribution +'\" of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES. +'\" +'\" SCCS: @(#) menubar.n 1.13 96/08/27 13:21:45 +'\" +.so man.macros +.TH tk_menuBar n "" Tk "Tk Built-In Commands" +.BS +'\" Note: do not modify the .SH NAME line immediately below! +.SH NAME +tk_menuBar, tk_bindForTraversal \- Obsolete support for menu bars +.SH SYNOPSIS +\fBtk_menuBar \fIframe \fR?\fImenu menu ...\fR? +.sp +\fBtk_bindForTraversal \fIarg arg ... \fR +.BE + +.SH DESCRIPTION +.PP +These procedures were used in Tk 3.6 and earlier releases to help +manage pulldown menus and to implement keyboard traversal of menus. +In Tk 4.0 and later releases they are no +longer needed.

In normal state the menubutton is displayed using the +\fBforeground\fR and \fBbackground\fR options. The active state is +typically used when the pointer is over the menubutton. In active state +the menubutton is displayed using the \fBactiveForeground\fR and +\fBactiveBackground\fR options. Disabled state means that the menubutton +should be insensitive: the default bindings will refuse to activate +the widget and will ignore mouse button presses. +In this state the \fBdisabledForeground\fR and +\fBbackground\fR options determine how the button is displayed. +.OP \-width width Width +Specifies a desired width for the menubutton. +If an image or bitmap is being displayed in the menubutton then the value is in +screen units (i.e. any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR); +for text it is in characters. +If this option isn't specified, the menubutton's desired width is computed +from the size of the image or bitmap or text being displayed in it. +.BE + +.SH INTRODUCTION +.PP +The \fBmenubutton\fR command creates a new window (given by the +\fIpathName\fR argument) and makes it into a menubutton widget. +Additional +options, described above, may be specified on the command line +or in the option database +to configure aspects of the menubutton such as its colors, font, +text, and initial relief. The \fBmenubutton\fR command returns its +\fIpathName\fR argument. At the time this command is invoked, +there must not exist a window named \fIpathName\fR, but +\fIpathName\fR's parent must exist. +.PP +A menubutton is a widget that displays a textual string, bitmap, or image +and is associated with a menu widget. +If text is displayed, it must all be in a single font, but it +can occupy multiple lines on the screen (if it contains newlines +or if wrapping occurs because of the \fBwrapLength\fR option) and +one of the characters may optionally be underlined using the +\fBunderline\fR option. In normal usage, pressing +mouse button 1 over the menubutton causes the associated menu to +be posted just underneath the menubutton. If the mouse is moved over +the menu before releasing the mouse button, the button release +causes the underlying menu entry to be invoked. When the button +is released, the menu is unposted. +.PP +Menubuttons are typically organized into groups called menu bars +that allow scanning: +if the mouse button is pressed over one menubutton (causing it +to post its menu) and the mouse is moved over another menubutton +in the same menu bar without releasing the mouse button, then the +menu of the first menubutton is unposted and the menu of the +new menubutton is posted instead. +.PP +There are several interactions between menubuttons and menus; see +the \fBmenu\fR manual entry for information on various menu configurations, +such as pulldown menus and option menus. + +.SH "WIDGET COMMAND" +.PP +The \fBmenubutton\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose +name is \fIpathName\fR. This +command may be used to invoke various +operations on the widget. It has the following general form: +.CS +\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR? +.CE +\fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs +determine the exact behavior of the command. The following +commands are possible for menubutton widgets: +.TP +\fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR +Returns the current value of the configuration option given +by \fIoption\fR. +\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBmenubutton\fR +command. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR? +Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. +If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of +the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for +information on the format of this list).

The \fBmessage\fR command returns its +\fIpathName\fR argument. At the time this command is invoked, +there must not exist a window named \fIpathName\fR, but +\fIpathName\fR's parent must exist. +.PP +A message is a widget that displays a textual string. A message +widget has three special features. First, it breaks up +its string into lines in order to produce a given aspect ratio +for the window. The line breaks are chosen at word boundaries +wherever possible (if not even a single word would fit on a +line, then the word will be split across lines). Newline characters +in the string will force line breaks; they can be used, for example, +to leave blank lines in the display. +.PP +The second feature of a message widget is justification. The text +may be displayed left-justified (each line starts at the left side of +the window), centered on a line-by-line basis, or right-justified +(each line ends at the right side of the window). +.PP +The third feature of a message widget is that it handles control +characters and non-printing characters specially. Tab characters +are replaced with enough blank space to line up on the next +8-character boundary. Newlines cause line breaks. Other control +characters (ASCII code less than 0x20) and characters not defined +in the font are displayed as a four-character sequence \fB\ex\fIhh\fR where +\fIhh\fR is the two-digit hexadecimal number corresponding to +the character. In the unusual case where the font doesn't contain +all of the characters in ``0123456789abcdef\ex'' then control +characters and undefined characters are not displayed at all. + +.SH "WIDGET COMMAND" +.PP +The \fBmessage\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose +name is \fIpathName\fR. This +command may be used to invoke various +operations on the widget. It has the following general form: +.CS +\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR? +.CE +\fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs +determine the exact behavior of the command. The following +commands are possible for message widgets: +.TP +\fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR +Returns the current value of the configuration option given +by \fIoption\fR. +\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBmessage\fR +command. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR? +Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. +If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of +the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for +information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified +with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns a list describing the +one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding +sublist of the value returned if no \fIoption\fR is specified).

Acceptable +values are \fBraised\fR, \fBsunken\fR, \fBflat\fR, \fBridge\fR, +\fBsolid\fR, and \fBgroove\fR. +The value +indicates how the interior of the widget should appear relative +to its exterior; for example, \fBraised\fR means the interior of +the widget should appear to protrude from the screen, relative to +the exterior of the widget. +.OP \-repeatdelay repeatDelay RepeatDelay +Specifies the number of milliseconds a button or key must be held +down before it begins to auto-repeat. Used, for example, on the +up- and down-arrows in scrollbars. +.OP \-repeatinterval repeatInterval RepeatInterval +Used in conjunction with \fBrepeatDelay\fR: once auto-repeat +begins, this option determines the number of milliseconds between +auto-repeats. +.OP \-selectbackground selectBackground Foreground +Specifies the background color to use when displaying selected +items. +.OP \-selectborderwidth selectBorderWidth BorderWidth +Specifies a non-negative value indicating the width +of the 3-D border to draw around selected items. +The value may have any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR. +.OP \-selectforeground selectForeground Background +Specifies the foreground color to use when displaying selected +items. +.OP \-setgrid setGrid SetGrid +Specifies a boolean value that determines whether this widget controls the +resizing grid for its top-level window. +This option is typically used in text widgets, where the information +in the widget has a natural size (the size of a character) and it makes +sense for the window's dimensions to be integral numbers of these units. +These natural window sizes form a grid. +If the \fBsetGrid\fR option is set to true then the widget will +communicate with the window manager so that when the user interactively +resizes the top-level window that contains the widget, the dimensions of +the window will be displayed to the user in grid units and the window +size will be constrained to integral numbers of grid units. +See the section GRIDDED GEOMETRY MANAGEMENT in the \fBwm\fR manual +entry for more details. +.OP \-takefocus takeFocus TakeFocus +Determines whether the window accepts the focus during keyboard +traversal (e.g., Tab and Shift-Tab). +Before setting the focus to a window, the traversal scripts +consult the value of the \fBtakeFocus\fR option. +A value of \fB0\fR means that the window should be skipped entirely +during keyboard traversal. +\fB1\fR means that the window should receive the input +focus as long as it is viewable (it and all of its ancestors are mapped). +An empty value for the option means that the traversal scripts make +the decision about whether or not to focus on the window: the current +algorithm is to skip the window if it is +disabled, if it has no key bindings, or if it is not viewable. +If the value has any other form, then the traversal scripts take +the value, append the name of the window to it (with a separator space), +and evaluate the resulting string as a Tcl script. +The script must return \fB0\fR, \fB1\fR, or an empty string: a +\fB0\fR or \fB1\fR value specifies whether the window will receive +the input focus, and an empty string results in the default decision +described above. +Note: this interpretation of the option is defined entirely by +the Tcl scripts that implement traversal: the widget implementations +ignore the option entirely, so you can change its meaning if you +redefine the keyboard traversal scripts. +.OP \-text text Text +Specifies a string to be displayed inside the widget. The way in which +the string is displayed depends on the particular widget and may be +determined by other options, such as \fBanchor\fR or \fBjustify\fR. +.OP \-textvariable textVariable Variable +Specifies the name of a variable. The value of the variable is a text +string to be displayed inside the widget; if the variable value changes +then the widget will automatically update itself to reflect the new value. +The way in which the string is displayed in the widget depends on the +particular widget and may be determined by other options, such as +\fBanchor\fR or \fBjustify\fR. +.OP \-troughcolor troughColor Background +Specifies the color to use for the rectangular trough areas +in widgets such as scrollbars and scales. +.OP \-underline underline Underline +Specifies the integer index of a character to underline in the widget. +This option is used by the default bindings to implement keyboard +traversal for menu buttons and menu entries. +0 corresponds to the first character of the text displayed in the +widget, 1 to the next character, and so on. +.OP \-wraplength wrapLength WrapLength +For widgets that can perform word-wrapping, this option specifies +the maximum line length. +Lines that would exceed this length are wrapped onto the next line, +so that no line is longer than the specified length. +The value may be specified in any of the standard forms for +screen distances. +If this value is less than or equal to 0 then no wrapping is done: lines +will break only at newline characters in the text. +.OP \-xscrollcommand xScrollCommand ScrollCommand +Specifies the prefix for a command used to communicate with horizontal +scrollbars. +When the view in the widget's window changes (or +whenever anything else occurs that could change the display in a +scrollbar, such as a change in the total size of the widget's +contents), the widget will +generate a Tcl command by concatenating the scroll command and +two numbers. +Each of the numbers is a fraction between 0 and 1, which indicates +a position in the document. 0 indicates the beginning of the document, +1 indicates the end, .333 indicates a position one third the way through +the document, and so on. +The first fraction indicates the first information in the document +that is visible in the window, and the second fraction indicates +the information just after the last portion that is visible. +The command is +then passed to the Tcl interpreter for execution. Typically the +\fBxScrollCommand\fR option consists of the path name of a scrollbar +widget followed by ``set'', e.g. ``.x.scrollbar set'': this will cause +the scrollbar to be updated whenever the view in the window changes. +If this option is not specified, then no command will be executed. +.OP \-yscrollcommand yScrollCommand ScrollCommand +Specifies the prefix for a command used to communicate with vertical +scrollbars. This option is treated in the same way as the +\fBxScrollCommand\fR option, except that it is used for vertical +scrollbars and is provided by widgets that support vertical scrolling. +See the description of \fBxScrollCommand\fR for details +on how this option is used. + +.SH KEYWORDS +class, name, standard option, switch diff --git a/doc/pack-old.n b/doc/pack-old.n new file mode 100644 index 0000000..a0638b6 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/pack-old.n @@ -0,0 +1,196 @@ +'\" +'\" Copyright (c) 1990-1994 The Regents of the University of California. +'\" Copyright (c) 1994-1996 Sun Microsystems, Inc. +'\" +'\" See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and redistribution +'\" of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES. +'\" +'\" SCCS: @(#) pack-old.n 1.12 96/03/26 18:25:44 +'\" +.so man.macros +.TH pack-old n 4.0 Tk "Tk Built-In Commands" +.BS +'\" Note: do not modify the .SH NAME line immediately below! +.SH NAME +pack \- Obsolete syntax for packer geometry manager +.SH SYNOPSIS +\fBpack after \fIsibling \fIwindow options\fR ?\fIwindow options \fR...? +.sp +\fBpack append \fIparent \fIwindow options\fR ?\fIwindow options \fR...? +.sp +\fBpack before \fIsibling \fIwindow options\fR ?\fIwindow options \fR...? +.sp +\fBpack unpack \fIwindow\fR +.BE + +.SH DESCRIPTION +.PP +\fINote: this manual entry describes the syntax for the \fBpack\fI +command as it existed before Tk version 3.3. +Although this syntax continues to be supported for backward +compatibility, it is obsolete and should not be used anymore. +At some point in the future it may cease to be supported.\fR +.PP +The packer is a geometry manager that arranges the +children of a parent by packing them in order around the edges of +the parent. The first child is placed against one side of +the window, occupying the entire span of the window along that +side. This reduces the space remaining for other children as +if the side had been moved in by the size of the first child. +Then the next child is placed against one side of the remaining +cavity, and so on until all children have been placed or there +is no space left in the cavity. +.PP +The \fBbefore\fR, \fBafter\fR, and \fBappend\fR forms of the \fBpack\fR +command are used to insert one or more children into the packing order +for their parent. The \fBbefore\fR form inserts the children before +window \fIsibling\fR in the order; all of the other windows must be +siblings of \fIsibling\fR. The \fBafter\fR form inserts the windows +after \fIsibling\fR, and the \fBappend\fR form appends one or more +windows to the end of the packing order for \fIparent\fR. If a +\fIwindow\fR named in any of these commands is already packed in +its parent, it is removed from its current position in the packing +order and repositioned as indicated by the command. All of these +commands return an empty string as result. +.PP +The \fBunpack\fR form of the \fBpack\fR command removes \fIwindow\fR +from the packing order of its parent and unmaps it. After the +execution of this command the packer will no longer manage +\fIwindow\fR's geometry. +.PP +The placement of each child is actually a four-step process; +the \fIoptions\fR argument following each \fIwindow\fR consists of +a list of one or more fields that govern the placement of that +window. In the discussion below, the term \fIcavity\fR refers +to the space left in a parent when a particular child is placed +(i.e. all the space that wasn't claimed by earlier children in +the packing order). The term \fIparcel\fR refers to the space +allocated to a particular child; this is not necessarily the +same as the child window's final geometry. +.PP +The first step in placing a child is to determine which side of +the cavity it will lie against. Any one of the following options +may be used to specify a side: +.TP +\fBtop\fR +Position the child's parcel against the top of the cavity, +occupying the full width of the cavity. +.TP +\fBbottom\fR +Position the child's parcel against the bottom of the cavity, +occupying the full width of the cavity. +.TP +\fBleft\fR +Position the child's parcel against the left side of the cavity, +occupying the full height of the cavity. +.TP +\fBright\fR +Position the child's parcel against the right side of the cavity, +occupying the full height of the cavity. +.LP +At most one of these options should be specified for any given window. +If no side is specified, then the default is \fBtop\fR. +.PP +The second step is to decide on a parcel for the child. For \fBtop\fR +and \fBbottom\fR windows, the desired parcel width is normally the cavity +width and the desired parcel height is the window's requested height, +as passed to \fBTk_GeometryRequest\fR. For \fBleft\fR and \fBright\fR +windows, the desired parcel height is normally the cavity height and the +desired width is the window's requested width. However, extra +space may be requested for the window using any of the following +options: +.TP 12 +\fBpadx \fInum\fR +Add \fInum\fR pixels to the window's requested width before computing +the parcel size as described above. +.TP 12 +\fBpady \fInum\fR +Add \fInum\fR pixels to the window's requested height before computing +the parcel size as described above. +.TP 12 +\fBexpand\fR +This option requests that the window's parcel absorb any extra space left over +in the parent's cavity after packing all the children. +The amount of space left over depends on the sizes requested by the +other children, and may be zero. If several windows have all specified +\fBexpand\fR then the extra width will be divided equally among all the +\fBleft\fR and \fBright\fR windows that specified \fBexpand\fR and +the extra height will be divided equally among all the \fBtop\fR and +\fBbottom\fR windows that specified \fBexpand\fR. +.LP +If the desired width or height for a parcel is larger than the corresponding +dimension of the cavity, then the cavity's dimension is used instead. +.PP +The third step in placing the window is to decide on the window's +width and height. The default is for the window to receive either +its requested width and height or the those of the parcel, whichever +is smaller. If the parcel is larger than the window's requested +size, then the following options may be used to expand the +window to partially or completely fill the parcel: +.TP +\fBfill\fR +Set the window's size to equal the parcel size. +.TP +\fBfillx\fR +Increase the window's width to equal the parcel's width, but retain +the window's requested height. +.TP +\fBfilly\fR +Increase the window's height to equal the parcel's height, but retain +the window's requested width. +.PP +The last step is to decide the window's location within its parcel. +If the window's size equals the parcel's size, then the window simply +fills the entire parcel. If the parcel is larger than the window, +then one of +the following options may be used to specify where the window should +be positioned within its parcel: +.TP 15 +\fBframe center\fR +Center the window in its parcel. This is the default if no framing +option is specified. +.TP 15 +\fBframe n\fR +Position the window with its top edge centered on the top edge of +the parcel. +.TP 15 +\fBframe ne\fR +Position the window with its upper-right corner at the upper-right corner +of the parcel. +.TP 15 +\fBframe e\fR +Position the window with its right edge centered on the right edge of +the parcel. +.TP 15 +\fBframe se\fR +Position the window with its lower-right corner at the lower-right corner +of the parcel. +.TP 15 +\fBframe s\fR +Position the window with its bottom edge centered on the bottom edge of +the parcel. +.TP 15 +\fBframe sw\fR +Position the window with its lower-left corner at the lower-left corner +of the parcel. +.TP 15 +\fBframe w\fR +Position the window with its left edge centered on the left edge of +the parcel. +.TP 15 +\fBframe nw\fR +Position the window with its upper-left corner at the upper-left corner +of the parcel. +.PP +The packer manages the mapped/unmapped state of all the packed +children windows.

of slaves +called the \fIpacking list\fR. +The \fB\-in\fR, \fB\-after\fR, and \fB\-before\fR configuration +options are used to specify the master for each slave and the slave's +position in the packing list. +If none of these options is given for a slave then the slave +is added to the end of the packing list for its parent. +.PP +The packer arranges the slaves for a master by scanning the +packing list in order. +At the time it processes each slave, a rectangular area within +the master is still unallocated. +This area is called the \fIcavity\fR; for the first slave it +is the entire area of the master. +.PP +For each slave the packer carries out the following steps: +.IP [1] +The packer allocates a rectangular \fIparcel\fR for the slave +along the side of the cavity given by the slave's \fB\-side\fR option. +If the side is top or bottom then the width of the parcel is +the width of the cavity and its height is the requested height +of the slave plus the \fB\-ipady\fR and \fB\-pady\fR options. +For the left or right side the height of the parcel is +the height of the cavity and the width is the requested width +of the slave plus the \fB\-ipadx\fR and \fB\-padx\fR options. +The parcel may be enlarged further because of the \fB\-expand\fR +option (see ``EXPANSION'' below) +.IP [2] +The packer chooses the dimensions of the slave. +The width will normally be the slave's requested width plus +twice its \fB\-ipadx\fR option and the height will normally be +the slave's requested height plus twice its \fB\-ipady\fR +option. +However, if the \fB\-fill\fR option is \fBx\fR or \fBboth\fR +then the width of the slave is expanded to fill the width of the parcel, +minus twice the \fB\-padx\fR option. +If the \fB\-fill\fR option is \fBy\fR or \fBboth\fR +then the height of the slave is expanded to fill the width of the parcel, +minus twice the \fB\-pady\fR option. +.IP [3] +The packer positions the slave over its parcel. +If the slave is smaller than the parcel then the \fB\-anchor\fR +option determines where in the parcel the slave will be placed. +If \fB\-padx\fR or \fB\-pady\fR is non-zero, then the given +amount of external padding will always be left between the +slave and the edges of the parcel. +.PP +Once a given slave has been packed, the area of its parcel +is subtracted from the cavity, leaving a smaller rectangular +cavity for the next slave. +If a slave doesn't use all of its parcel, the unused space +in the parcel will not be used by subsequent slaves. +If the cavity should become too small to meet the needs of +a slave then the slave will be given whatever space is +left in the cavity. +If the cavity shrinks to zero size, then all remaining slaves +on the packing list will be unmapped from the screen until +the master window becomes large enough to hold them again. + +.SH "EXPANSION" +.PP +If a master window is so large that there will be extra space +left over after all of its slaves have been packed, then the +extra space is distributed uniformly among all of the slaves +for which the \fB\-expand\fR option is set. +Extra horizontal space is distributed among the expandable +slaves whose \fB\-side\fR is \fBleft\fR or \fBright\fR, +and extra vertical space is distributed among the expandable +slaves whose \fB\-side\fR is \fBtop\fR or \fBbottom\fR. + +.SH "GEOMETRY PROPAGATION" +.PP +The packer normally computes how large a master must be to +just exactly meet the needs of its slaves, and it sets the +requested width and height of the master to these dimensions. +This causes geometry information to propagate up through a +window hierarchy to a top-level window so that the entire +sub-tree sizes itself to fit the needs of the leaf windows. +However, the \fBpack propagate\fR command may be used to +turn off propagation for one or more masters. +If propagation is disabled then the packer will not set +the requested width and height of the packer. +This may be useful if, for example, you wish for a master +window to have a fixed size that you specify. + +.SH "RESTRICTIONS ON MASTER WINDOWS" +.PP +The master for each slave must either be the slave's parent +(the default) or a descendant of the slave's parent. +This restriction is necessary to guarantee that the +slave can be placed over any part of its master that is +visible without danger of the slave being clipped by its parent. + +.SH "PACKING ORDER" +.PP +If the master for a slave is not its parent then you must make sure +that the slave is higher in the stacking order than the master. +Otherwise the master will obscure the slave and it will appear as +if the slave hasn't been packed correctly. +The easiest way to make sure the slave is higher than the master is +to create the master window first: the most recently created window +will be highest in the stacking order. +Or, you can use the \fBraise\fR and \fBlower\fR commands to change +the stacking order of either the master or the slave. + +.SH KEYWORDS +geometry manager,

+.SH DESCRIPTION +.PP +The \fBtk_setPalette\fR procedure changes the color scheme for Tk. +It does this by modifying the colors of existing widgets and by changing +the option database so that future widgets will use the new color scheme. +If \fBtk_setPalette\fR is invoked with a single argument, the +argument is the name of a color to use as the normal background +color; \fBtk_setPalette\fR will compute a complete color palette +from this background color. +Alternatively, the arguments to \fBtk_setPalette\fR may consist of any number +of \fIname\fR\-\fIvalue\fR pairs, where the first argument of the pair +is the name of an option in the Tk option database and the second +argument is the new value to use for that option. The following +database names are currently supported: +.DS L +.ta 4c 8c +\fBactiveBackground foreground selectColor +activeForeground highlightBackground selectBackground +background highlightColor selectForeground +disabledForeground insertBackground troughColor\fR +.DE +\fBtk_setPalette\fR tries to compute reasonable defaults for any +options that you don't specify. You can specify options other +than the above ones and Tk will change those options on widgets as +well. This feature may be useful if you are using custom widgets with +additional color options. +.PP +Once it has computed the new value to use for each of the color options, +\fBtk_setPalette\fR scans the widget hierarchy to modify the options +of all existing widgets. For each widget, it checks to see if any +of the above options is defined for the widget. If so, and if the +option's current value is the default, then the value is changed; if +the option has a value other than the default, \fBtk_setPalette\fR +will not change it.

A photo image is stored internally in full color (24 +bits per pixel), and is displayed using dithering if necessary. Image +data for a photo image can be obtained from a file or a string, or it +can be supplied from +C code through a procedural interface. At present, only GIF and PPM/PGM +formats are supported, but an interface exists to allow additional +image file formats to be added easily. A photo image is transparent +in regions where no image data has been supplied. + +.SH "CREATING PHOTOS" +.PP +Like all images, photos are created using the \fBimage create\fR +command. +Photos support the following \fIoptions\fR: +.TP +\fB\-data \fIstring\fR +Specifies the contents of the image as a string. The format of the +string must be one of those for which there is an image file format +handler that will accept string data. If both the \fB\-data\fR +and \fB\-file\fR options are specified, the \fB\-file\fR option takes +precedence. +.TP +\fB\-format \fIformat-name\fR +Specifies the name of the file format for the data specified with the +\fB\-data\fR or \fB\-file\fR option. +.TP +\fB\-file \fIname\fR +\fIname\fR gives the name of a file that is to be read to supply data +for the photo image. The file format must be one of those for which +there is an image file format handler that can read data. +.TP +\fB\-gamma \fIvalue\fR +Specifies that the colors allocated for displaying this image in a +window should be corrected for a non-linear display with the specified +gamma exponent value. (The intensity produced by most +CRT displays is a power function of the input value, to a good +approximation; gamma is the exponent and is typically around 2). +The value specified must be greater than zero. The default +value is one (no correction). In general, values greater than one +will make the image lighter, and values less than one will make it +darker. +.TP +\fB\-height \fInumber\fR +Specifies the height of the image, in pixels. This option is useful +primarily in situations where the user wishes to build up the contents +of the image piece by piece. A value of zero (the default) allows the +image to expand or shrink vertically to fit the data stored in it. +.TP +\fB\-palette \fIpalette-spec\fR +Specifies the resolution of the color cube to be allocated for +displaying this image, and thus the number of colors used from the +colormaps of the windows where it is displayed. The +\fIpalette-spec\fR string may be either a single decimal number, +specifying the number of shades of gray to use, or three decimal +numbers separated by slashes (/), specifying the number of shades of +red, green and blue to use, respectively. If the first form (a single +number) is used, the image will be displayed in monochrome (i.e., +grayscale). +.TP +\fB\-width \fInumber\fR +Specifies the width of the image, in pixels. This option is useful +primarily in situations where the user wishes to build up the contents +of the image piece by piece. A value of zero (the default) allows the +image to expand or shrink horizontally to fit the data stored in it. + +.SH "IMAGE COMMAND" +.PP +When a photo image is created, Tk also creates a new command +whose name is the same as the image. +This command may be used to invoke various operations +on the image. +It has the following general form: +.CS +\fIimageName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR? +.CE +\fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs +determine the exact behavior of the command. +.PP +Those options that write data to the image generally expand the size +of the image, if necessary, to accommodate the data written to the +image, unless the user has specified non-zero values for the +\fB\-width\fR and/or \fB\-height\fR configuration options, in which +case the width and/or height, respectively, of the image will not be +changed. +.PP +The following commands are possible for photo images: +.TP +\fIimageName \fBblank\fR +Blank the image; that is, set the entire image to have no data, so it +will be displayed as transparent, and the background of whatever +window it is displayed in will show through. +.TP +\fIimageName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR +Returns the current value of the configuration option given +by \fIoption\fR. +\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the +\fBimage create photo\fR command. +.TP +\fIimageName \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR? +Query or modify the configuration options for the image. +If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of +the available options for \fIimageName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for +information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified +with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns a list describing the +one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding +sublist of the value returned if no \fIoption\fR is specified). If +one or more \fIoption\-value\fR pairs are specified, then the command +modifies the given option(s) to have the given value(s); in +this case the command returns an empty string. +\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the +\fBimage create photo\fR command. +.TP +\fIimageName \fBcopy\fR \fIsourceImage\fR ?\fIoption value(s) ...\fR? +Copies a region from the image called \fIsourceImage\fR (which must +be a photo image) to the image called \fIimageName\fR, possibly with +pixel zooming and/or subsampling. If no options are specified, this +command copies the whole of \fIsourceImage\fR into \fIimageName\fR, +starting at coordinates (0,0) in \fIimageName\fR. The following +options may be specified: +.RS +.TP +\fB\-from \fIx1 y1 x2 y2\fR +Specifies a rectangular sub-region of the source image to be copied. +(\fIx1,y1\fR) and (\fIx2,y2\fR) specify diagonally opposite corners of +the rectangle. If \fIx2\fR and \fIy2\fR are not specified, the +default value is the bottom-right corner of the source image. The +pixels copied will include the left and top edges of the specified +rectangle but not the bottom or right edges. If the \fB\-from\fR +option is not given, the default is the whole source image. +.TP +\fB\-to \fIx1 y1 x2 y2\fR +Specifies a rectangular sub-region of the destination image to be +affected. (\fIx1,y1\fR) and (\fIx2,y2\fR) specify diagonally opposite +corners of the rectangle. If \fIx2\fR and \fIy2\fR are not specified, +the default value is (\fIx1,y1\fR) plus the size of the source +region (after subsampling and zooming, if specified). If \fIx2\fR and +\fIy2\fR are specified, the source region will be replicated if +necessary to fill the destination region in a tiled fashion. +.TP +\fB\-shrink\fR +Specifies that the size of the destination image should be reduced, if +necessary, so that the region being copied into is at the bottom-right +corner of the image. This option will not affect the width or height +of the image if the user has specified a non-zero value for the +\fB\-width\fR or \fB\-height\fR configuration option, respectively. +.TP +\fB\-zoom \fIx y\fR +Specifies that the source region should be magnified by a factor of +\fIx\fR in the X direction and \fIy\fR in the Y direction. If \fIy\fR +is not given, the default value is the same as \fIx\fR. With this +option, each pixel in the source image will be expanded into a block +of \fIx\fR x \fIy\fR pixels in the destination image, all the same +color. \fIx\fR and \fIy\fR must be greater than 0. +.TP +\fB\-subsample \fIx y\fR +Specifies that the source image should be reduced in size by using +only every \fIx\fRth pixel in the X direction and \fIy\fRth pixel in +the Y direction. Negative values will cause the image to be flipped +about the Y or X axes, respectively. If \fIy\fR is not given, the +default value is the same as \fIx\fR. +.RE +.TP +\fIimageName \fBget\fR \fIx y\fR +Returns the color of the pixel at coordinates (\fIx\fR,\fIy\fR) in the +image as a list of three integers between 0 and 255, representing the +red, green and blue components respectively. +.TP +\fIimageName \fBput \fIdata\fR ?\fB\-to\fI x1 y1 x2 y2\fR? +Sets pixels in \fIimageName\fR to the colors specified in \fIdata\fR. +\fIdata\fR is used to form a two-dimensional array of pixels that are +then copied into the \fIimageName\fR. \fIdata\fR is structured as a +list of horizontal rows, from top to bottom, each of which is a list +of colors, listed from left to right. Each color may be specified by name +(e.g., blue) or in hexadecimal form (e.g., #2376af). The +\fB\-to\fR option can be used to specify the area of \fIimageName\fR to be +affected. If only \fIx1\fR and \fIy1\fR are given, the area affected +has its top-left corner at (\fIx1,y1\fR) and is the same size as the +array given in \fIdata\fR. If all four coordinates are given, they +specify diagonally opposite corners of the affected rectangle, and the +array given in \fIdata\fR will be replicated as necessary in the X and +Y directions to fill the rectangle. +.TP +\fIimageName \fBread\fR \fIfilename\fR ?\fIoption value(s) ...\fR? +Reads image data from the file named \fIfilename\fR into the image. +This command first searches the list of +image file format handlers for a handler that can interpret the data +in \fIfilename\fR, and then reads the image in \fIfilename\fR into +\fIimageName\fR (the destination image). The following options may be +specified: +.RS +.TP +\fB\-format \fIformat-name\fR +Specifies the format of the image data in \fIfilename\fR. +Specifically, only image file format handlers whose names begin with +\fIformat-name\fR will be used while searching for an image data +format handler to read the data. +.TP +\fB\-from \fIx1 y1 x2 y2\fR +Specifies a rectangular sub-region of the image file data to be copied +to the destination image. If only \fIx1\fR and \fIy1\fR are +specified, the region extends from (\fIx1,y1\fR) to the bottom-right +corner of the image in the image file. If all four coordinates are +specified, they specify diagonally opposite corners or the region. +The default, if this option is not specified, is the whole of the +image in the image file. +.TP +\fB\-shrink\fR +If this option, the size of \fIimageName\fR will be reduced, if +necessary, so that the region into which the image file data are read +is at the bottom-right corner of the \fIimageName\fR. This option +will not affect the width or height of the image if the user has +specified a non-zero value for the \fB\-width\fR or \fB\-height\fR +configuration option, respectively. +.TP +\fB\-to \fIx y\fR +Specifies the coordinates of the top-left corner of the region of +\fIimageName\fR into which data from \fIfilename\fR are to be read. +The default is (0,0). +.RE +.TP +\fIimageName \fBredither\fR +The dithering algorithm used in displaying photo images propagates +quantization errors from one pixel to its neighbors. +If the image data for \fIimageName\fR is supplied in pieces, the +dithered image may not be exactly correct. Normally the difference is +not noticeable, but if it is a problem, this command can be used to +recalculate the dithered image in each window where the image is +displayed. +.TP +\fIimageName \fBwrite \fIfilename\fR ?\fIoption value(s) ...\fR? +Writes image data from \fIimageName\fR to a file named \fIfilename\fR. +The following options may be specified: +.RS +.TP +\fB\-format\fI format-name\fR +Specifies the name of the image file format handler to be used to +write the data to the file. Specifically, this subcommand searches +for the first handler whose name matches a initial substring of +\fIformat-name\fR and which has the capability to write an image +file. If this option is not given, this subcommand uses the first +handler that has the capability to write an image file. +.TP +\fB\-from \fIx1 y1 x2 y2\fR +Specifies a rectangular region of \fIimageName\fR to be written to the +image file. If only \fIx1\fR and \fIy1\fR are specified, the region +extends from \fI(x1,y1)\fR to the bottom-right corner of +\fIimageName\fR. If all four coordinates are given, they specify +diagonally opposite corners of the rectangular region. The default, +if this option is not given, is the whole image. +.RE +.SH "IMAGE FORMATS" +.PP +The photo image code is structured to allow handlers for additional +image file formats to be added easily. The photo image code maintains +a list of these handlers. Handlers are added to the list by +registering them with a call to \fBTk_CreatePhotoImageFormat\fR. The +standard Tk distribution comes with handlers for PPM/PGM and GIF formats, +which are automatically registered on initialization. +.PP +When reading an image file or processing +string data specified with the \fB\-data\fR configuration option, the +photo image code invokes each handler in turn until one is +found that claims to be able to read the data in the file or string. +Usually this will find the correct handler, but if it doesn't, the +user may give a format name with the \fB\-format\fR option to specify +which handler to use. In fact the photo image code will try those +handlers whose names begin with the string specified for the +\fB\-format\fR option (the comparison is case-insensitive). For +example, if the user specifies \fB\-format gif\fR, then a handler +named GIF87 or GIF89 may be invoked, but a handler +named JPEG may not (assuming that such handlers had been +registered). +.PP +When writing image data to a file, the processing of the +\fB\-format\fR option is slightly different: the string value given +for the \fB\-format\fR option must begin with the complete name of the +requested handler, and may contain additional information following +that, which the handler can use, for example, to specify which variant +to use of the formats supported by the handler. + +.SH "COLOR ALLOCATION" +.PP +When a photo image is displayed in a window, the photo image code +allocates colors to use to display the image and dithers the image, if +necessary, to display a reasonable approximation to the image using +the colors that are available. The colors are allocated as a color +cube, that is, the number of colors allocated is the product of the +number of shades of red, green and blue. +.PP +Normally, the number of +colors allocated is chosen based on the depth of the window. For +example, in an 8-bit PseudoColor window, the photo image code will +attempt to allocate seven shades of red, seven shades of green and +four shades of blue, for a total of 198 colors. In a 1-bit StaticGray +(monochrome) window, it will allocate two colors, black and white. In +a 24-bit DirectColor or TrueColor window, it will allocate 256 shades +each of red, green and blue. Fortunately, because of the way that +pixel values can be combined in DirectColor and TrueColor windows, +this only requires 256 colors to be allocated. If not all of the +colors can be allocated, the photo image code reduces the number of +shades of each primary color and tries again. +.PP +The user can exercise some control over the number of colors that a +photo image uses with the \fB\-palette\fR configuration option. If +this option is used, it specifies the maximum number of shades of +each primary color to try to allocate. It can also be used to force +the image to be displayed in shades of gray, even on a color display, +by giving a single number rather than three numbers separated by +slashes. + +.SH CREDITS +.PP +The photo image type was designed and implemented by Paul Mackerras, +based on his earlier photo widget and some suggestions from +John Ousterhout. + +.SH KEYWORDS +photo, image, color diff --git a/doc/place.n b/doc/place.n new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6084118 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/place.n @@ -0,0 +1,237 @@ +'\" +'\" Copyright (c) 1992 The Regents of the University of California. +'\" Copyright (c) 1994-1996 Sun Microsystems, Inc. +'\" +'\" See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and redistribution +'\" of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES. +'\" +'\" SCCS: @(#) place.n 1.13 96/08/27 13:21:49 +'\" +.so man.macros +.TH place n "" Tk "Tk Built-In Commands" +.BS +'\" Note: do not modify the .SH NAME line immediately below! +.SH NAME +place \- Geometry manager for fixed or rubber-sheet placement +.SH SYNOPSIS +\fBplace \fIwindow option value \fR?\fIoption value ...\fR? +.sp +\fBplace configure \fIwindow option value \fR?\fIoption value ...\fR? +.sp +\fBplace forget \fIwindow\fR +.sp +\fBplace info \fIwindow\fR +.sp +\fBplace slaves \fIwindow\fR +.BE + +.SH DESCRIPTION +.PP +The placer is a geometry manager for Tk. +It provides simple fixed placement of windows, where you specify +the exact size and location of one window, called the \fIslave\fR, +within another window, called the \fImaster\fR. +The placer also provides rubber-sheet placement, where you specify the +size and location of the slave in terms of the dimensions of +the master, so that the slave changes size and location +in response to changes in the size of the master. +Lastly, the placer allows you to mix these styles of placement so +that, for example, the slave has a fixed width and height but is +centered inside the master. +.PP +If the first argument to the \fBplace\fR command is a window path +name or \fBconfigure\fR then the command arranges for the placer +to manage the geometry of a slave whose path name is \fIwindow\fR. +The remaining arguments consist of one or more \fIoption\-value\fR +pairs that specify the way in which \fIwindow\fR's +geometry is managed. +If the placer is already managing \fIwindow\fR, then the +\fIoption\-value\fR pairs modify the configuration for \fIwindow\fR. +In this form the \fBplace\fR command returns an empty string as result. +The following \fIoption\-value\fR pairs are supported: +.TP +\fB\-in \fImaster\fR +\fIMaster\fR specifes the path name of the window relative +to which \fIwindow\fR is to be placed. +\fIMaster\fR must either be \fIwindow\fR's parent or a descendant +of \fIwindow\fR's parent. +In addition, \fImaster\fR and \fIwindow\fR must both be descendants +of the same top-level window. +These restrictions are necessary to guarantee +that \fIwindow\fR is visible whenever \fImaster\fR is visible. +If this option isn't specified then the master defaults to +\fIwindow\fR's parent. +.TP +\fB\-x \fIlocation\fR +\fILocation\fR specifies the x-coordinate within the master window +of the anchor point for \fIwindow\fR. +The location is specified in screen units (i.e. any of the forms +accepted by \fBTk_GetPixels\fR) and need not lie within the bounds +of the master window. +.TP +\fB\-relx \fIlocation\fR +\fILocation\fR specifies the x-coordinate within the master window +of the anchor point for \fIwindow\fR. +In this case the location is specified in a relative fashion +as a floating-point number: 0.0 corresponds to the left edge +of the master and 1.0 corresponds to the right edge of the master. +\fILocation\fR need not be in the range 0.0\-1.0. +If both \fB\-x\fR and \fB\-relx\fR are specified for a slave +then their values are summed. For example, \fB\-relx 0.5 \-x \-2\fR +positions the left edge of the slave 2 pixels to the left of the +center of its master. +.TP +\fB\-y \fIlocation\fR +\fILocation\fR specifies the y-coordinate within the master window +of the anchor point for \fIwindow\fR. +The location is specified in screen units (i.e. any of the forms +accepted by \fBTk_GetPixels\fR) and need not lie within the bounds +of the master window. +.TP +\fB\-rely \fIlocation\fR +\fILocation\fR specifies the y-coordinate within the master window +of the anchor point for \fIwindow\fR. +In this case the value is specified in a relative fashion +as a floating-point number: 0.0 corresponds to the top edge +of the master and 1.0 corresponds to the bottom edge of the master. +\fILocation\fR need not be in the range 0.0\-1.0. +If both \fB\-y\fR and \fB\-rely\fR are specified for a slave +then their values are summed. For example, \fB\-rely 0.5 \-x 3\fR +positions the top edge of the slave 3 pixels below the +center of its master. +.TP +\fB\-anchor \fIwhere\fR +\fIWhere\fR specifies which point of \fIwindow\fR is to be positioned +at the (x,y) location selected by the \fB\-x\fR, \fB\-y\fR, +\fB\-relx\fR, and \fB\-rely\fR options. +The anchor point is in terms of the outer area of \fIwindow\fR +including its border, if any. +Thus if \fIwhere\fR is \fBse\fR then the lower-right corner of +\fIwindow\fR's border will appear at the given (x,y) location +in the master. +The anchor position defaults to \fBnw\fR. +.TP +\fB\-width \fIsize\fR +\fISize\fR specifies the width for \fIwindow\fR in screen units +(i.e. any of the forms accepted by \fBTk_GetPixels\fR). +The width will be the outer width of \fIwindow\fR including its +border, if any. +If \fIsize\fR is an empty string, or if no \fB\-width\fR +or \fB\-relwidth\fR option is specified, then the width requested +internally by the window will be used. +.TP +\fB\-relwidth \fIsize\fR +\fISize\fR specifies the width for \fIwindow\fR. +In this case the width is specified as a floating-point number +relative to the width of the master: 0.5 means \fIwindow\fR will +be half as wide as the master, 1.0 means \fIwindow\fR will have +the same width as the master, and so on. +If both \fB\-width\fR and \fB\-relwidth\fR are specified for a slave, +their values are summed. For example, \fB\-relwidth 1.0 \-width 5\fR +makes the slave 5 pixels wider than the master. +.TP +\fB\-height \fIsize\fR +\fISize\fR specifies the height for \fIwindow\fR in screen units +(i.e. any of the forms accepted by \fBTk_GetPixels\fR). +The height will be the outer dimension of \fIwindow\fR including its +border, if any. +If \fIsize\fR is an empty string, or if no \fB\-height\fR or +\fB\-relheight\fR option is specified, then the height requested +internally by the window will be used. +.TP +\fB\-relheight \fIsize\fR +\fISize\fR specifies the height for \fIwindow\fR. +In this case the height is specified as a floating-point number +relative to the height of the master: 0.5 means \fIwindow\fR will +be half as high as the master, 1.0 means \fIwindow\fR will have +the same height as the master, and so on. +If both \fB\-height\fR and \fB\-relheight\fR are specified for a slave, +their values are summed. For example, \fB\-relheight 1.0 \-height \-2\fR +makes the slave 2 pixels shorter than the master. +.TP +\fB\-bordermode \fImode\fR +\fIMode\fR determines the degree to which borders within the +master are used in determining the placement of the slave. +The default and most common value is \fBinside\fR. +In this case the placer considers the area of the master to +be the innermost area of the master, inside any border: +an option of \fB\-x 0\fR corresponds to an x-coordinate just +inside the border and an option of \fB\-relwidth 1.0\fR +means \fIwindow\fR will fill the area inside the master's +border. +If \fImode\fR is \fBoutside\fR then the placer considers +the area of the master to include its border; +this mode is typically used when placing \fIwindow\fR +outside its master, as with the options \fB\-x 0 \-y 0 \-anchor ne\fR. +Lastly, \fImode\fR may be specified as \fBignore\fR, in which +case borders are ignored: the area of the master is considered +to be its official X area, which includes any internal border but +no external border. A bordermode of \fBignore\fR is probably +not very useful. +.PP +If the same value is specified separately with +two different options, such as \fB\-x\fR and \fB\-relx\fR, then +the most recent option is used and the older one is ignored. +.PP +The \fBplace slaves\fR command returns a list of all the slave +windows for which \fIwindow\fR is the master. +If there are no slaves for \fIwindow\fR then an empty string is +returned. +.PP +The \fBplace forget\fR command causes the placer to stop managing +the geometry of \fIwindow\fR. As a side effect of this command +\fIwindow\fR will be unmapped so that it doesn't appear on the +screen. +If \fIwindow\fR isn't currently managed by the placer then the +command has no effect. +\fBPlace forget\fR returns an empty string as result. +.PP +The \fBplace info\fR command returns a list giving the current +configuration of \fIwindow\fR. +The list consists of \fIoption\-value\fR pairs in exactly the +same form as might be specified to the \fBplace configure\fR +command. +If the configuration of a window has been retrieved with +\fBplace info\fR, that configuration can be restored later by +first using \fBplace forget\fR to erase any existing information +for the window and then invoking \fBplace configure\fR with +the saved information. + +.SH "FINE POINTS" +.PP +It is not necessary for the master window to be the parent +of the slave window. +This feature is useful in at least two situations. +First, for complex window layouts it means you can create a +hierarchy of subwindows whose only purpose +is to assist in the layout of the parent. +The ``real children'' of the parent (i.e. the windows that +are significant for the application's user interface) can be +children of the parent yet be placed inside the windows +of the geometry-management hierarchy. +This means that the path names of the ``real children'' +don't reflect the geometry-management hierarchy and users +can specify options for the real children +without being aware of the structure of the geometry-management +hierarchy. +.PP +A second reason for having a master different than the slave's +parent is to tie two siblings together. +For example, the placer can be used to force a window always to +be positioned centered just below one of its +siblings by specifying the configuration +.CS +\fB\-in \fIsibling\fB \-relx 0.5 \-rely 1.0 \-anchor n \-bordermode outside\fR +.CE +Whenever the sibling is repositioned in the future, the slave +will be repositioned as well. +.PP +Unlike many other geometry managers (such as the packer) +the placer does not make any attempt to manipulate the geometry of +the master windows or the parents of slave windows (i.e. it doesn't +set their requested sizes). +To control the sizes of these windows, make them windows like +frames and canvases that provide configuration options for this purpose. + +.SH KEYWORDS +geometry manager, height, location, master, place, rubber sheet, slave, width diff --git a/doc/popup.n b/doc/popup.n new file mode 100644 index 0000000..7728e6c --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/popup.n @@ -0,0 +1,33 @@ +'\" +'\" Copyright (c) 1994-1996 Sun Microsystems, Inc. +'\" +'\" See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and redistribution +'\" of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES. +'\" +'\" SCCS: @(#) popup.n 1.5 96/03/26 18:26:45 +'\" +.so man.macros +.TH tk_popup n 4.0 Tk "Tk Built-In Commands" +.BS +'\" Note: do not modify the .SH NAME line immediately below! +.SH NAME +tk_popup \- Post a popup menu +.SH SYNOPSIS +\fBtk_popup \fImenu x y \fR?\fIentry\fR? +.BE + +.SH DESCRIPTION +.PP +This procedure posts a menu at a given position on the screen and +configures Tk so that the menu and its cascaded children can be +traversed with the mouse or the keyboard. +\fIMenu\fR is the name of a menu widget and \fIx\fR and \fIy\fR +are the root coordinates at which to display the menu. +If \fIentry\fR is omitted or an empty string, the +menu's upper left corner is positioned at the given point. +Otherwise \fIentry\fR gives the index of an entry in \fImenu\fR and +the menu will be positioned so that the entry is positioned over +the given point. + +.SH KEYWORDS +menu, popup diff --git a/doc/radiobutton.n b/doc/radiobutton.n new file mode 100644 index 0000000..58e4d22 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/radiobutton.n @@ -0,0 +1,233 @@ +'\" +'\" Copyright (c) 1990-1994 The Regents of the University of California. +'\" Copyright (c) 1994-1996 Sun Microsystems, Inc. +'\" +'\" See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and redistribution +'\" of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES. +'\" +'\" SCCS: @(#) radiobutton.n 1.41 97/10/31 12:58:51 +'\" +.so man.macros +.TH radiobutton n 4.4 Tk "Tk Built-In Commands" +.BS +'\" Note: do not modify the .SH NAME line immediately below! +.SH NAME +radiobutton \- Create and manipulate radiobutton widgets +.SH SYNOPSIS +\fBradiobutton\fR \fIpathName \fR?\fIoptions\fR? +.SO +\-activebackground \-cursor \-highlightthickness \-takefocus +\-activeforeground \-disabledforeground \-image \-text +\-anchor \-font \-justify \-textvariable +\-background \-foreground \-padx \-underline +\-bitmap \-highlightbackground \-pady \-wraplength +\-borderwidth \-highlightcolor \-relief +.SE +.SH "WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS" +.OP \-command command Command +Specifies a Tcl command to associate with the button.

The \fBradiobutton\fR command returns its +\fIpathName\fR argument. At the time this command is invoked, +there must not exist a window named \fIpathName\fR, but +\fIpathName\fR's parent must exist. +.PP +.VS +A radiobutton is a widget that displays a textual string, bitmap or image +and a diamond or circle called an \fIindicator\fR. +.VE +If text is displayed, it must all be in a single font, but it +can occupy multiple lines on the screen (if it contains newlines +or if wrapping occurs because of the \fBwrapLength\fR option) and +one of the characters may optionally be underlined using the +\fBunderline\fR option. A radiobutton has +all of the behavior of a simple button: it can display itself in either +of three different ways, according to the \fBstate\fR option; +it can be made to appear +raised, sunken, or flat; it can be made to flash; and it invokes +a Tcl command whenever mouse button 1 is clicked over the +check button. +.PP +In addition, radiobuttons can be \fIselected\fR. +If a radiobutton is selected, the indicator is normally +.VS +drawn with a selected appearance, and +a Tcl variable associated with the radiobutton is set to a particular +value (normally 1). +Under Unix, the indicator is drawn with a sunken relief and a special +color. Under Windows, the indicator is drawn with a round mark inside. +If the radiobutton is not selected, then the indicator is drawn with a +deselected appearance, and the associated variable is +set to a different value (typically 0). +Under Unix, the indicator is drawn with a raised relief and no special +color. Under Windows, the indicator is drawn without a round mark inside. +.VE +Typically, several radiobuttons share a single variable and the +value of the variable indicates which radiobutton is to be selected. +When a radiobutton is selected it sets the value of the variable to +indicate that fact; each radiobutton also monitors the value of +the variable and automatically selects and deselects itself when the +variable's value changes. +By default the variable \fBselectedButton\fR +is used; its contents give the name of the button that is +selected, or the empty string if no button associated with that +variable is selected. +The name of the variable for a radiobutton, +plus the variable to be stored into it, may be modified with options +on the command line or in the option database. +Configuration options may also be used to modify the way the +indicator is displayed (or whether it is displayed at all). +By default a radiobutton is configured to select itself on button clicks. + +.SH "WIDGET COMMAND" +.PP +The \fBradiobutton\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose +name is \fIpathName\fR.

The value may +have any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR. +If this value is less than zero, the value of the \fBborderWidth\fR +option is used in its place. +.OP \-width width Width +Specifies the desired narrow dimension of the scrollbar window, +not including 3-D border, if any. For vertical +scrollbars this will be the width and for horizontal scrollbars +this will be the height. +The value may have any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR. +.BE + +.SH DESCRIPTION +.PP +The \fBscrollbar\fR command creates a new window (given by the +\fIpathName\fR argument) and makes it into a scrollbar widget. +Additional options, described above, may be specified on the command +line or in the option database to configure aspects of the scrollbar +such as its colors, orientation, and relief. +The \fBscrollbar\fR command returns its \fIpathName\fR argument. +At the time this command is invoked, there must not exist a window +named \fIpathName\fR, but \fIpathName\fR's parent must exist. +.PP +A scrollbar is a widget that displays two arrows, one at each end of +the scrollbar, and a \fIslider\fR in the middle portion of the +scrollbar. +It provides information about what is visible in an \fIassociated window\fR +that displays an document of some sort (such as a file being edited or +a drawing). +The position and size of the slider indicate which portion of the +document is visible in the associated window. For example, if the +slider in a vertical scrollbar covers the top third of the area +between the two arrows, it means that the associated window displays +the top third of its document. +.PP +Scrollbars can be used to adjust the view in the associated window +by clicking or dragging with the mouse. See the BINDINGS section +below for details. + +.SH "ELEMENTS" +.PP +A scrollbar displays five elements, which are referred to in the +widget commands for the scrollbar: +.TP 10 +\fBarrow1\fR +The top or left arrow in the scrollbar. +.TP 10 +\fBtrough1\fR +The region between the slider and \fBarrow1\fR. +.TP 10 +\fBslider\fR +The rectangle that indicates what is visible in the associated widget. +.TP 10 +\fBtrough2\fR +The region between the slider and \fBarrow2\fR. +.TP 10 +\fBarrow2\fR +The bottom or right arrow in the scrollbar. + +.SH "WIDGET COMMAND" +.PP +The \fBscrollbar\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose +name is \fIpathName\fR. This +command may be used to invoke various +operations on the widget. It has the following general form: +.CS +\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR? +.CE +\fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs +determine the exact behavior of the command. The following +commands are possible for scrollbar widgets: +.TP +\fIpathName \fBactivate \fR?\fIelement\fR? +Marks the element indicated by \fIelement\fR as active, which +causes it to be displayed as specified by the \fBactiveBackground\fR +and \fBactiveRelief\fR options. +The only element values understood by this command are \fBarrow1\fR, +\fBslider\fR, or \fBarrow2\fR. +If any other value is specified then no element of the scrollbar +will be active. +If \fIelement\fR is not specified, the command returns +the name of the element that is currently active, or an empty string +if no element is active. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR +Returns the current value of the configuration option given +by \fIoption\fR. +\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBscrollbar\fR +command. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR? +Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. +If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of +the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for +information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified +with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns a list describing the +one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding +sublist of the value returned if no \fIoption\fR is specified). If +one or more \fIoption\-value\fR pairs are specified, then the command +modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in +this case the command returns an empty string. +\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBscrollbar\fR +command. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBdelta \fIdeltaX deltaY\fR +Returns a real number indicating the fractional change in +the scrollbar setting that corresponds to a given change +in slider position. For example, if the scrollbar is horizontal, +the result indicates how much the scrollbar setting must change +to move the slider \fIdeltaX\fR pixels to the right (\fIdeltaY\fR is +ignored in this case). +If the scrollbar is vertical, the result indicates how much the +scrollbar setting must change to move the slider \fIdeltaY\fR pixels +down. The arguments and the result may be zero or negative. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBfraction \fIx y\fR +Returns a real number between 0 and 1 indicating where the point +given by \fIx\fR and \fIy\fR lies in the trough area of the scrollbar. +The value 0 corresponds to the top or left of the trough, the +value 1 corresponds to the bottom or right, 0.5 corresponds to +the middle, and so on. +\fIX\fR and \fIy\fR must be pixel coordinates relative to the scrollbar +widget. +If \fIx\fR and \fIy\fR refer to a point outside the trough, the closest +point in the trough is used. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBget\fR +Returns the scrollbar settings in the form of a list whose +elements are the arguments to the most recent \fBset\fR widget command. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBidentify\fR \fIx y\fR +Returns the name of the element under the point given by \fIx\fR and +\fIy\fR (such as \fBarrow1\fR), or an empty string if the point does +not lie in any element of the scrollbar. +\fIX\fR and \fIy\fR must be pixel coordinates relative to the scrollbar +widget. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBset\fR \fIfirst last\fR +This command is invoked by the scrollbar's associated widget to +tell the scrollbar about the current view in the widget. +The command takes two arguments, each of which is a real fraction +between 0 and 1. +The fractions describe the range of the document that is visible in +the associated widget. +For example, if \fIfirst\fR is 0.2 and \fIlast\fR is 0.4, it means +that the first part of the document visible in the window is 20% +of the way through the document, and the last visible part is 40% +of the way through. + +.SH "SCROLLING COMMANDS" +.PP +When the user interacts with the scrollbar, for example by dragging +the slider, the scrollbar notifies the associated widget that it +must change its view. +The scrollbar makes the notification by evaluating a Tcl command +generated from the scrollbar's \fB\-command\fR option. +The command may take any of the following forms. +In each case, \fIprefix\fR is the contents of the +\fB\-command\fR option, which usually has a form like \fB.t yview\fR +.TP +\fIprefix \fBmoveto \fIfraction\fR +\fIFraction\fR is a real number between 0 and 1. +The widget should adjust its view so that the point given +by \fIfraction\fR appears at the beginning of the widget. +If \fIfraction\fR is 0 it refers to the beginning of the +document. 1.0 refers to the end of the document, 0.333 +refers to a point one-third of the way through the document, +and so on. +.TP +\fIprefix \fBscroll \fInumber \fBunits\fR +The widget should adjust its view by \fInumber\fR units. +The units are defined in whatever way makes sense for the widget, +such as characters or lines in a text widget. +\fINumber\fR is either 1, which means one unit should scroll off +the top or left of the window, or \-1, which means that one unit +should scroll off the bottom or right of the window. +.TP +\fIprefix \fBscroll \fInumber \fBpages\fR +The widget should adjust its view by \fInumber\fR pages. +It is up to the widget to define the meaning of a page; typically +it is slightly less than what fits in the window, so that there +is a slight overlap between the old and new views. +\fINumber\fR is either 1, which means the next page should +become visible, or \-1, which means that the previous page should +become visible. + +.SH "OLD COMMAND SYNTAX" +.PP +In versions of Tk before 4.0, the \fBset\fR and \fBget\fR widget +commands used a different form. +This form is still supported for backward compatibility, but it +is deprecated. +In the old command syntax, the \fBset\fR widget command has the +following form: +.TP +\fIpathName \fBset\fR \fItotalUnits windowUnits firstUnit lastUnit\fR +In this form the arguments are all integers. +\fITotalUnits\fR gives the total size of the object being displayed in the +associated widget. The meaning of one unit depends on the associated +widget; for example, in a text editor widget units might +correspond to lines of +text. \fIWindowUnits\fR indicates the total number of units that +can fit in the associated window at one time. \fIFirstUnit\fR +and \fIlastUnit\fR give the indices of the first and last units +currently visible in the associated window (zero corresponds to the +first unit of the object). +.LP +Under the old syntax the \fBget\fR widget command returns a list +of four integers, consisting of the \fItotalUnits\fR, \fIwindowUnits\fR, +\fIfirstUnit\fR, and \fIlastUnit\fR values from the last \fBset\fR +widget command. +.PP +The commands generated by scrollbars also have a different form +when the old syntax is being used: +.TP +\fIprefix\fR \fIunit\fR +\fIUnit\fR is an integer that indicates what should appear at +the top or left of the associated widget's window. +It has the same meaning as the \fIfirstUnit\fR and \fIlastUnit\fR +arguments to the \fBset\fR widget command. +.LP +The most recent \fBset\fR widget command determines whether or not +to use the old syntax. +If it is given two real arguments then the new syntax will be +used in the future, and if it is given four integer arguments then +the old syntax will be used. + +.SH BINDINGS +Tk automatically creates class bindings for scrollbars that give them +the following default behavior. +If the behavior is different for vertical and horizontal scrollbars, +the horizontal behavior is described in parentheses. + +.IP [1] +Pressing button 1 over \fBarrow1\fR causes the view in the +associated widget to shift up (left) by one unit so that the +document appears to move down (right) one unit. +If the button is held down, the action auto-repeats. +.IP [2] +Pressing button 1 over \fBtrough1\fR causes the view in the +associated widget to shift up (left) by one screenful so that the +document appears to move down (right) one screenful. +If the button is held down, the action auto-repeats. +.IP [3] +Pressing button 1 over the slider and dragging causes the view +to drag with the slider. +If the \fBjump\fR option is true, then the view doesn't drag along +with the slider; it changes only when the mouse button is released. +.IP [4] +Pressing button 1 over \fBtrough2\fR causes the view in the +associated widget to shift down (right) by one screenful so that the +document appears to move up (left) one screenful. +If the button is held down, the action auto-repeats. +.IP [5] +Pressing button 1 over \fBarrow2\fR causes the view in the +associated widget to shift down (right) by one unit so that the +document appears to move up (left) one unit. +If the button is held down, the action auto-repeats. +.IP [6] +If button 2 is pressed over the trough or the slider, it sets +the view to correspond to the mouse position;

The selection owner may choose to +return the selection in any of several different representation +formats, such as STRING, ATOM, INTEGER, etc. (this format is different +than the selection type; see the ICCCM for all the confusing details). +If the selection is returned in a non-string format, such as INTEGER +or ATOM, the \fBselection\fR command converts it to string format as a +collection of fields separated by spaces: atoms are converted to their +textual names, and anything else is converted to hexadecimal integers. +.TP +\fBselection handle\fR ?\fB\-selection\fR \fIselection\fR? ?\fB\-type\fR \fItype\fR? ?\fB\-format\fR \fIformat\fR? \fIwindow command\fR +Creates a handler for selection requests, such that \fIcommand\fR will +be executed whenever \fIselection\fR is owned by \fIwindow\fR and +someone attempts to retrieve it in the form given by \fItype\fR +(e.g. \fItype\fR is specified in the \fBselection get\fR command). +\fISelection\fR defaults to PRIMARY, \fItype\fR defaults to STRING, and +\fIformat\fR defaults to STRING.

The \fBtext\fR command returns the +path name of the new window. +.PP +A text widget displays one or more lines of text and allows that +text to be edited. +.VS +Text widgets support four different kinds of annotations on the +text, called tags, marks, embedded windows or embedded images. +.VE +Tags allow different portions of the text +to be displayed with different fonts and colors. +In addition, Tcl commands can be associated with tags so +that scripts are invoked when particular actions such as keystrokes +and mouse button presses occur in particular ranges of the text. +See TAGS below for more details. +.PP +The second form of annotation consists of marks, which are floating +markers in the text. +Marks are used to keep track of various interesting positions in the +text as it is edited. +See MARKS below for more details. +.PP +The third form of annotation allows arbitrary windows to be +embedded in a text widget. +See EMBEDDED WINDOWS below for more details. +.PP +.VS +The fourth form of annotation allows Tk images to be embedded in a text +widget. +See EMBEDDED IMAGES below for more details. +.VE + +.SH INDICES +.PP +Many of the widget commands for texts take one or more indices +as arguments. +An index is a string used to indicate a particular place within +a text, such as a place to insert characters or one endpoint of a +range of characters to delete. +Indices have the syntax +.CS +\fIbase modifier modifier modifier ...\fR +.CE +Where \fIbase\fR gives a starting point and the \fImodifier\fRs +adjust the index from the starting point (e.g. move forward or +backward one character). Every index must contain a \fIbase\fR, +but the \fImodifier\fRs are optional. +.PP +The \fIbase\fR for an index must have one of the following forms: +.TP 12 +\fIline\fB.\fIchar\fR +Indicates \fIchar\fR'th character on line \fIline\fR. +Lines are numbered from 1 for consistency with other UNIX programs +that use this numbering scheme. +Within a line, characters are numbered from 0. +If \fIchar\fR is \fBend\fR then it refers to the newline character +that ends the line. +.TP 12 +\fB@\fIx\fB,\fIy\fR +Indicates the character that covers the pixel whose x and y coordinates +within the text's window are \fIx\fR and \fIy\fR. +.TP 12 +\fBend\fR +Indicates the end of the text (the character just after the last +newline). +.TP 12 +\fImark\fR +Indicates the character just after the mark whose name is \fImark\fR. +.TP 12 +\fItag\fB.first\fR +Indicates the first character in the text that has been tagged with +\fItag\fR. +This form generates an error if no characters are currently tagged +with \fItag\fR. +.TP 12 +\fItag\fB.last\fR +Indicates the character just after the last one in the text that has +been tagged with \fItag\fR. +This form generates an error if no characters are currently tagged +with \fItag\fR. +.TP 12 +\fIpathName\fR +Indicates the position of the embedded window whose name is +\fIpathName\fR. +This form generates an error if there is no embedded window +by the given name. +.TP 12 +.VS +\fIimageName\fR +Indicates the position of the embedded image whose name is +\fIimageName\fR. +This form generates an error if there is no embedded image +by the given name. +.VE +.PP +If the \fIbase\fP could match more than one of the above forms, such +as a \fImark\fP and \fIimageName\fP both having the same value, then +the form earlier in the above list takes precedence. +If modifiers follow the base index, each one of them must have one +of the forms listed below. Keywords such as \fBchars\fR and \fBwordend\fR +may be abbreviated as long as the abbreviation is unambiguous. +.TP +\fB+ \fIcount\fB chars\fR +Adjust the index forward by \fIcount\fR characters, moving to later +lines in the text if necessary. If there are fewer than \fIcount\fR +characters in the text after the current index, then set the index +to the last character in the text. +Spaces on either side of \fIcount\fR are optional. +.TP +\fB\- \fIcount\fB chars\fR +Adjust the index backward by \fIcount\fR characters, moving to earlier +lines in the text if necessary. If there are fewer than \fIcount\fR +characters in the text before the current index, then set the index +to the first character in the text. +Spaces on either side of \fIcount\fR are optional. +.TP +\fB+ \fIcount\fB lines\fR +Adjust the index forward by \fIcount\fR lines, retaining the same +character position within the line. If there are fewer than \fIcount\fR +lines after the line containing the current index, then set the index +to refer to the same character position on the last line of the text. +Then, if the line is not long enough to contain a character at the indicated +character position, adjust the character position to refer to the last +character of the line (the newline). +Spaces on either side of \fIcount\fR are optional. +.TP +\fB\- \fIcount\fB lines\fR +Adjust the index backward by \fIcount\fR lines, retaining the same +character position within the line. If there are fewer than \fIcount\fR +lines before the line containing the current index, then set the index +to refer to the same character position on the first line of the text. +Then, if the line is not long enough to contain a character at the indicated +character position, adjust the character position to refer to the last +character of the line (the newline). +Spaces on either side of \fIcount\fR are optional. +.TP +\fBlinestart\fR +Adjust the index to refer to the first character on the line. +.TP +\fBlineend\fR +Adjust the index to refer to the last character on the line (the newline). +.TP +\fBwordstart\fR +Adjust the index to refer to the first character of the word containing +the current index. A word consists of any number of adjacent characters +that are letters, digits, or underscores, or a single character that +is not one of these. +.TP +\fBwordend\fR +Adjust the index to refer to the character just after the last one of the +word containing the current index. If the current index refers to the last +character of the text then it is not modified. +.PP +If more than one modifier is present then they are applied in +left-to-right order. For example, the index ``\fBend \- 1 chars\fR'' +refers to the next-to-last character in the text and +``\fBinsert wordstart \- 1 c\fR'' refers to the character just before +the first one in the word containing the insertion cursor. + +.SH TAGS +.PP +The first form of annotation in text widgets is a tag. +A tag is a textual string that is associated with some of the characters +in a text. +Tags may contain arbitrary characters, but it is probably best to +avoid using the the characters `` '' (space), \fB+\fR, or \fB\-\fR: +these characters have special meaning in indices, so tags containing +them can't be used as indices. +There may be any number of tags associated with characters in a +text. +Each tag may refer to a single character, a range of characters, or +several ranges of characters. +An individual character may have any number of tags associated with it. +.PP +A priority order is defined among tags, and this order is used in +implementing some of the tag-related functions described below. +When a tag is defined (by associating it with characters or setting +its display options or binding commands to it), it is given +a priority higher than any existing tag. +The priority order of tags may be redefined using the +``\fIpathName \fBtag raise\fR'' and ``\fIpathName \fBtag lower\fR'' +widget commands. +.PP +Tags serve three purposes in text widgets. +First, they control the way information is displayed on the screen. +By default, characters are displayed as determined by the +\fBbackground\fR, \fBfont\fR, and \fBforeground\fR options for the +text widget. +However, display options may be associated with individual tags +using the ``\fIpathName \fBtag configure\fR'' widget command. +If a character has been tagged, then the display options associated +with the tag override the default display style. +The following options are currently supported for tags: +.TP +\fB\-background \fIcolor\fR +\fIColor\fR specifies the background color to use for characters +associated with the tag. +It may have any of the forms accepted by \fBTk_GetColor\fR. +.TP +\fB\-bgstipple \fIbitmap\fR +\fIBitmap\fR specifies a bitmap that is used as a stipple pattern +for the background. +It may have any of the forms accepted by \fBTk_GetBitmap\fR. +If \fIbitmap\fR hasn't been specified, or if it is specified +as an empty string, then a solid fill will be used for the +background. +.TP +\fB\-borderwidth \fIpixels\fR +\fIPixels\fR specifies the width of a 3-D border to draw around +the background. +It may have any of the forms accepted by \fBTk_GetPixels\fR. +This option is used in conjunction with the \fB\-relief\fR +option to give a 3-D appearance to the background for characters; +it is ignored unless the \fB\-background\fR option +has been set for the tag. +.TP +\fB\-fgstipple \fIbitmap\fR +\fIBitmap\fR specifies a bitmap that is used as a stipple pattern +when drawing text and other foreground information such as +underlines. +It may have any of the forms accepted by \fBTk_GetBitmap\fR. +If \fIbitmap\fR hasn't been specified, or if it is specified +as an empty string, then a solid fill will be used. +.TP +\fB\-font \fIfontName\fR +\fIFontName\fR is the name of a font to use for drawing characters. +It may have any of the forms accepted by \fBTk_GetFontStruct\fR. +.TP +\fB\-foreground \fIcolor\fR +\fIColor\fR specifies the color to use when drawing text and other +foreground information such as underlines. +It may have any of the forms accepted by \fBTk_GetColor\fR. +.TP +\fB\-justify \fIjustify\fR +If the first character of a display line has a tag for which this +option has been specified, then \fIjustify\fR determines how to +justify the line. +It must be one of \fBleft\fR, \fBright\fR, or \fBcenter\fR. +If a line wraps, then the justification for each line on the +display is determined by the first character of that display line. +.TP +\fB\-lmargin1 \fIpixels\fR +If the first character of a text line has a tag for which this +option has been specified, then \fIpixels\fR specifies how +much the line should be indented from the left edge of the +window. +\fIPixels\fR may have any of the standard forms for screen +distances. +If a line of text wraps, this option only applies to the +first line on the display; the \fB\-lmargin2\fR option controls +the indentation for subsequent lines. +.TP +\fB\-lmargin2 \fIpixels\fR +If the first character of a display line has a tag for which this +option has been specified, and if the display line is not the +first for its text line (i.e., the text line has wrapped), then +\fIpixels\fR specifies how much the line should be indented from +the left edge of the window. +\fIPixels\fR may have any of the standard forms for screen +distances. +This option is only used when wrapping is enabled, and it only +applies to the second and later display lines for a text line. +.TP +\fB\-offset \fIpixels\fR +\fIPixels\fR specifies an amount by which the text's baseline +should be offset vertically from the baseline of the overall +line, in pixels. +For example, a positive offset can be used for superscripts +and a negative offset can be used for subscripts. +\fIPixels\fR may have any of the standard forms for screen +distances. +.TP +\fB\-overstrike \fIboolean\fR +Specifies whether or not to draw a horizontal rule through +the middle of characters. +\fIBoolean\fR may have any of the forms accepted by \fBTk_GetBoolean\fR. +.TP +\fB\-relief \fIrelief\fR +\fIRelief\fR specifies the 3-D relief to use for drawing backgrounds, +in any of the forms accepted by \fBTk_GetRelief\fR. +This option is used in conjunction with the \fB\-borderwidth\fR +option to give a 3-D appearance to the background for characters; +it is ignored unless the \fB\-background\fR option +has been set for the tag. +.TP +\fB\-rmargin \fIpixels\fR +If the first character of a display line has a tag for which this +option has been specified, then \fIpixels\fR specifies how wide +a margin to leave between the end of the line and the right +edge of the window. +\fIPixels\fR may have any of the standard forms for screen +distances. +This option is only used when wrapping is enabled. +If a text line wraps, the right margin for each line on the +display is determined by the first character of that display +line. +.TP +\fB\-spacing1 \fIpixels\fR +\fIPixels\fR specifies how much additional space should be +left above each text line, using any of the standard forms for +screen distances. +If a line wraps, this option only applies to the first +line on the display. +.TP +\fB\-spacing2 \fIpixels\fR +For lines that wrap, this option specifies how much additional +space to leave between the display lines for a single text line. +\fIPixels\fR may have any of the standard forms for screen +distances. +.TP +\fB\-spacing3 \fIpixels\fR +\fIPixels\fR specifies how much additional space should be +left below each text line, using any of the standard forms for +screen distances. +If a line wraps, this option only applies to the last +line on the display. +.TP +\fB\-tabs \fItabList\fR +\fITabList\fR specifies a set of tab stops in the same form +as for the \fB\-tabs\fR option for the text widget. This +option only applies to a display line if it applies to the +first character on that display line. +If this option is specified as an empty string, it cancels +the option, leaving it unspecified for the tag (the default). +If the option is specified as a non-empty string that is +an empty list, such as \fB\-tags\0{\0}\fR, then it requests +default 8-character tabs as described for the \fBtags\fR +widget option. +.TP +\fB\-underline \fIboolean\fR +\fIBoolean\fR specifies whether or not to draw an underline underneath +characters. +It may have any of the forms accepted by \fBTk_GetBoolean\fR. +.TP +\fB\-wrap \fImode\fR +\fIMode\fR specifies how to handle lines that are wider than the +text's window. +It has the same legal values as the \fB\-wrap\fR option +for the text widget: \fBnone\fR, \fBchar\fR, or \fBword\fR. +If this tag option is specified, it overrides the \fB\-wrap\fR option +for the text widget. +.PP +If a character has several tags associated with it, and if their +display options conflict, then the options of the highest priority +tag are used. +If a particular display option hasn't been specified for a +particular tag, or if it is specified as an empty string, then +that option will never be used; the next-highest-priority +tag's option will used instead. +If no tag specifies a particular display option, then the default +style for the widget will be used. +.PP +The second purpose for tags is event bindings. +You can associate bindings with a tag in much the same way you can +associate bindings with a widget class: whenever particular X +events occur on characters with the given tag, a given +Tcl command will be executed. +Tag bindings can be used to give behaviors to ranges of characters; +among other things, this allows hypertext-like +features to be implemented. +For details, see the description of the \fBtag bind\fR widget +command below. +.PP +The third use for tags is in managing the selection. +See THE SELECTION below. + +.SH MARKS +.PP +The second form of annotation in text widgets is a mark. +Marks are used for remembering particular places in a text. +They are something like tags, in that they have names and +they refer to places in the file, but a mark isn't associated +with particular characters. +Instead, a mark is associated with the gap between two characters. +Only a single position may be associated with a mark at any given +time. +If the characters around a mark are deleted the mark will still +remain; it will just have new neighbor characters. +In contrast, if the characters containing a tag are deleted then +the tag will no longer have an association with characters in +the file. +Marks may be manipulated with the ``\fIpathName \fBmark\fR'' widget +command, and their current locations may be determined by using the +mark name as an index in widget commands. +.PP +Each mark also has a \fIgravity\fR, which is either \fBleft\fR or +\fBright\fR. +The gravity for a mark specifies what happens to the mark when +text is inserted at the point of the mark. +If a mark has left gravity, then the mark is treated as if it +were attached to the character on its left, so the mark will +remain to the left of any text inserted at the mark position. +If the mark has right gravity, new text inserted at the mark +position will appear to the right of the mark. The gravity +for a mark defaults to \fBright\fR. +.PP +The name space for marks is different from that for tags: the +same name may be used for both a mark and a tag, but they will refer +to different things. +.PP +Two marks have special significance. +First, the mark \fBinsert\fR is associated with the insertion cursor, +as described under THE INSERTION CURSOR below. +Second, the mark \fBcurrent\fR is associated with the character +closest to the mouse and is adjusted automatically to track the +mouse position and any changes to the text in the widget (one +exception: \fBcurrent\fR is not updated in response to mouse +motions if a mouse button is down; the update will be deferred +until all mouse buttons have been released). +Neither of these special marks may be deleted. + +.SH EMBEDDED WINDOWS +.PP +The third form of annotation in text widgets is an embedded window. +Each embedded window annotation causes a window to be displayed +at a particular point in the text. +There may be any number of embedded windows in a text widget, +and any widget may be used as an embedded window (subject to the +usual rules for geometry management, which require the text window +to be the parent of the embedded window or a descendant of its +parent). +The embedded window's position on the screen will be updated as the +text is modified or scrolled, and it will be mapped and unmapped as +it moves into and out of the visible area of the text widget. +Each embedded window occupies one character's worth of index space +in the text widget, and it may be referred to either by the name +of its embedded window or by its position in the widget's +index space. +If the range of text containing the embedded window is deleted then +the window is destroyed. +.PP +When an embedded window is added to a text widget with the +\fBwindow create\fR widget command, several configuration +options may be associated with it. +These options may be modified later with the \fBwindow configure\fR +widget command. +The following options are currently supported: +.TP +\fB\-align \fIwhere\fR +If the window is not as tall as the line in which it is displayed, +this option determines where the window is displayed in the line. +\fIWhere\fR must have one of the values \fBtop\fR (align the top of the window +with the top of the line), \fBcenter\fR (center the window +within the range of the line), \fBbottom\fR (align the bottom of the +window with the bottom of the line's area), +or \fBbaseline\fR (align the bottom of the window with the baseline +of the line). +.TP +\fB\-create \fIscript\fR +Specifies a Tcl script that may be evaluated to create the window +for the annotation. +If no \fB\-window\fR option has been specified for the annotation +this script will be evaluated when the annotation is about to +be displayed on the screen. +\fIScript\fR must create a window for the annotation and return +the name of that window as its result. +If the annotation's window should ever be deleted, \fIscript\fR +will be evaluated again the next time the annotation is displayed. +.TP +\fB\-padx \fIpixels\fR +\fIPixels\fR specifies the amount of extra space to leave on +each side of the embedded window. +It may have any of the usual forms defined for a screen distance. +.TP +\fB\-pady \fIpixels\fR +\fIPixels\fR specifies the amount of extra space to leave on +the top and on the bottom of the embedded window. +It may have any of the usual forms defined for a screen distance. +.TP +\fB\-stretch \fIboolean\fR +If the requested height of the embedded window is less than the +height of the line in which it is displayed, this option can be +used to specify whether the window should be stretched vertically +to fill its line. +If the \fB\-pady\fR option has been specified as well, then the +requested padding will be retained even if the window is +stretched. +.TP +\fB\-window \fIpathName\fR +Specifies the name of a window to display in the annotation. + +.VS +.SH EMBEDDED IMAGES +.PP +The final form of annotation in text widgets is an embedded image. +Each embedded image annotation causes an image to be displayed +at a particular point in the text. +There may be any number of embedded images in a text widget, +and a particular image may be embedded in multiple places in the same +text widget. +The embedded image's position on the screen will be updated as the +text is modified or scrolled. +Each embedded image occupies one character's worth of index space +in the text widget, and it may be referred to either by +its position in the widget's index space, or the name it is assigned +when the image is inserted into the text widget widh \fBimage create\fP. +If the range of text containing the embedded image is deleted then +that copy of the image is removed from the screen. +.PP +When an embedded image is added to a text widget with the \fBimage +create\fR widget command, a name unique to this instance of the image +is returned. This name may then be used to refer to this image +instance. The name is taken to be the value of the \fB-name\fP option +(described below). If the \fB-name\fP option is not provided, the +\fB-image\fP name is used instead. If the \fIimageName\fP is already +in use in the text widget, then \fB#\fInn\fR is added to the end of the +\fIimageName\fP, where \fInn\fP is an arbitrary integer. This insures +the \fIimageName\fP is unique. +Once this name is assigned to this instance of the image, it does not +change, even though the \fB-image\fP or \fB-name\fP values can be changed +with \fBimage configure\fP. +.PP +When an embedded image is added to a text widget with the +\fBimage create\fR widget command, several configuration +options may be associated with it. +These options may be modified later with the \fBimage configure\fR +widget command. +The following options are currently supported: +.TP +\fB\-align \fIwhere\fR +If the image is not as tall as the line in which it is displayed, +this option determines where the image is displayed in the line. +\fIWhere\fR must have one of the values \fBtop\fR (align the top of the image +with the top of the line), \fBcenter\fR (center the image +within the range of the line), \fBbottom\fR (align the bottom of the +image with the bottom of the line's area), +or \fBbaseline\fR (align the bottom of the image with the baseline +of the line). +.TP +\fB\-image \fIimage\fR +Specifies the name of the Tk image to display in the annotation. +If \fIimage\fP is not a valid Tk image, then an error is returned. +.TP +\fB\-name \fIImageName\fR +Specifies the name by which this image instance may be referenced in +the text widget. If \fIImageName\fP is not supplied, then the +name of the Tk image is used instead. +If the \fIimageName\fP is already in use, \fI#nn\fP is appended to +the end of the name as described above. +.TP +\fB\-padx \fIpixels\fR +\fIPixels\fR specifies the amount of extra space to leave on +each side of the embedded image. +It may have any of the usual forms defined for a screen distance. +.TP +\fB\-pady \fIpixels\fR +\fIPixels\fR specifies the amount of extra space to leave on +the top and on the bottom of the embedded image. +It may have any of the usual forms defined for a screen distance. +.VE + +.SH THE SELECTION +.PP +Selection support is implemented via tags. +If the \fBexportSelection\fR option for the text widget is true +then the \fBsel\fR tag will be associated with the selection: +.IP [1] +Whenever characters are tagged with \fBsel\fR the text widget +will claim ownership of the selection. +.IP [2] +Attempts to retrieve the +selection will be serviced by the text widget, returning all the +characters with the \fBsel\fR tag. +.IP [3] +If the selection is claimed away by another application or by another +window within this application, then the \fBsel\fR tag will be removed +from all characters in the text. +.PP +The \fBsel\fR tag is automatically defined when a text widget is +created, and it may not be deleted with the ``\fIpathName \fBtag delete\fR'' +widget command. Furthermore, the \fBselectBackground\fR, +\fBselectBorderWidth\fR, and \fBselectForeground\fR options for +the text widget are tied to the \fB\-background\fR, +\fB\-borderwidth\fR, and \fB\-foreground\fR options for the \fBsel\fR +tag: changes in either will automatically be reflected in the +other. + +.SH THE INSERTION CURSOR +.PP +The mark named \fBinsert\fR has special significance in text widgets. +It is defined automatically when a text widget is created and it +may not be unset with the ``\fIpathName \fBmark unset\fR'' widget +command. +The \fBinsert\fR mark represents the position of the insertion +cursor, and the insertion cursor will automatically be drawn at +this point whenever the text widget has the input focus. + +.SH "WIDGET COMMAND" +.PP +The \fBtext\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose +name is the same as the path name of the text's window. This +command may be used to invoke various +operations on the widget. It has the following general form: +.CS +\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR? +.CE +\fIPathName\fR is the name of the command, which is the same as +the text widget's path name. \fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs +determine the exact behavior of the command. The following +commands are possible for text widgets: +.TP +\fIpathName \fBbbox \fIindex\fR +Returns a list of four elements describing the screen area +of the character given by \fIindex\fR. +The first two elements of the list give the x and y coordinates +of the upper-left corner of the area occupied by the +character, and the last two elements give the width and height +of the area. +If the character is only partially visible on the screen, then +the return value reflects just the visible part. +If the character is not visible on the screen then the return +value is an empty list. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR +Returns the current value of the configuration option given +by \fIoption\fR. +\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBtext\fR +command. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBcompare\fR \fIindex1 op index2\fR +Compares the indices given by \fIindex1\fR and \fIindex2\fR according +to the relational operator given by \fIop\fR, and returns 1 if +the relationship is satisfied and 0 if it isn't. +\fIOp\fR must be one of the operators <, <=, ==, >=, >, or !=. +If \fIop\fR is == then 1 is returned if the two indices refer to +the same character, if \fIop\fR is < then 1 is returned if \fIindex1\fR +refers to an earlier character in the text than \fIindex2\fR, and +so on. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? \fI?value option value ...\fR? +Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. +If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of +the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for +information on the format of this list).

The text widget uses about 2-3 bytes of +main memory for each byte of text, so texts containing a megabyte +or more should be practical on most workstations. +Text is represented internally with a modified B-tree structure +that makes operations relatively efficient even with large texts. +Tags are included in the B-tree structure in a way that allows +tags to span large ranges or have many disjoint smaller ranges +without loss of efficiency. +Marks are also implemented in a way that allows large numbers of +marks. +In most cases it is fine to have large numbers of unique tags, +or a tag that has many distinct ranges. +.PP +One performance problem can arise if you have hundreds or thousands +of different tags that all have the following characteristics: +the first and last ranges of each tag are near the beginning and +end of the text, respectively, +or a single tag range covers most of the text widget. +The cost of adding and deleting tags like this is proportional +to the number of other tags with the same properties. +In contrast, there is no problem with having thousands of distinct +tags if their overall ranges are localized and spread uniformly throughout +the text. +.PP +Very long text lines can be expensive, +especially if they have many marks and tags within them. +.PP +The display line with the insert cursor is redrawn each time the +cursor blinks, which causes a steady stream of graphics traffic. +Set the \fBinsertOffTime\fP attribute to 0 avoid this. +.SH KEYWORDS +text, widget diff --git a/doc/tk.n b/doc/tk.n new file mode 100644 index 0000000..98a04c3 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/tk.n @@ -0,0 +1,72 @@ +'\" +'\" Copyright (c) 1992 The Regents of the University of California. +'\" Copyright (c) 1994-1996 Sun Microsystems, Inc. +'\" +'\" See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and redistribution +'\" of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES. +'\" +'\" SCCS: @(#) tk.n 1.15 97/05/20 20:32:56 +'\" +.so man.macros +.TH tk n 4.0 Tk "Tk Built-In Commands" +.BS +'\" Note: do not modify the .SH NAME line immediately below! +.SH NAME +tk \- Manipulate Tk internal state +.SH SYNOPSIS +\fBtk\fR \fIoption \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR? +.BE + +.SH DESCRIPTION +.PP +The \fBtk\fR command provides access to miscellaneous +elements of Tk's internal state. +Most of the information manipulated by this command pertains to the +application as a whole, or to a screen or display, rather than to a +particular window. +The command can take any of a number of different forms +depending on the \fIoption\fR argument. The legal forms are: +.TP +\fBtk appname \fR?\fInewName\fR? +If \fInewName\fR isn't specified, this command returns the name +of the application (the name that may be used in \fBsend\fR +commands to communicate with the application). +If \fInewName\fR is specified, then the name of the application +is changed to \fInewName\fR. +If the given name is already in use, then a suffix of the form +``\fB #2\fR'' or ``\fB #3\fR'' is appended in order to make the name unique. +The command's result is the name actually chosen. +\fInewName\fR should not start with a capital letter. +This will interfere with option processing, since names starting with +capitals are assumed to be classes; as a result, Tk may not +be able to find some options for the application. +If sends have been disabled by deleting the \fBsend\fR command, +this command will reenable them and recreate the \fBsend\fR +command. +.VS +.TP +\fBtk scaling \fR?\fB\-displayof \fIwindow\fR? ?\fInumber\fR? +. +Sets and queries the current scaling factor used by Tk to convert between +physical units (for example, points, inches, or millimeters) and pixels. The +\fInumber\fR argument is a floating point number that specifies the number of +pixels per point on \fIwindow\fR's display. If the \fIwindow\fR argument is +omitted, it defaults to the main window. If the \fInumber\fR argument is +omitted, the current value of the scaling factor is returned. +.RS +.PP +A ``point'' is a unit of measurement equal to 1/72 inch. A scaling factor +of 1.0 corresponds to 1 pixel per point, which is equivalent to a standard +72 dpi monitor. A scaling factor of 1.25 would mean 1.25 pixels per point, +which is the setting for a 90 dpi monitor; setting the scaling factor to +1.25 on a 72 dpi monitor would cause everything in the application to be +displayed 1.25 times as large as normal. The initial value for the scaling +factor is set when the application starts, based on properties of the +installed monitor, but it can be changed at any time. Measurements made +after the scaling factor is changed will use the new scaling factor, but it +is undefined whether existing widgets will resize themselves dynamically to +accomodate the new scaling factor. +.RE +.VE +.SH KEYWORDS +application name, send diff --git a/doc/tk4.0.ps b/doc/tk4.0.ps new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d79642d --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/tk4.0.ps @@ -0,0 +1,4602 @@ +%! +%%BoundingBox: (atend) +%%Pages: (atend) +%%DocumentFonts: (atend) +%%EndComments +%%BeginProlog +% +% FrameMaker postscript_prolog 3.0, for use with FrameMaker 3.0 +% This postscript_prolog file is Copyright (c) 1986-1991 Frame Technology +% Corporation.

Additional +options, described above, may be specified on the command line +or in the option database +to configure aspects of the toplevel such as its background color +and relief. The \fBtoplevel\fR command returns the +path name of the new window. +.PP +A toplevel is similar to a frame except that it is created as a +top-level window: its X parent is the root window of a screen +rather than the logical parent from its path name. The primary +purpose of a toplevel is to serve as a container for dialog boxes +and other collections of widgets. The only visible features +of a toplevel are its background color and an optional 3-D border +to make the toplevel appear raised or sunken. + +.SH "WIDGET COMMAND" +.PP +The \fBtoplevel\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose +name is the same as the path name of the toplevel's window. This +command may be used to invoke various +operations on the widget. It has the following general form: +.CS +\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR? +.CE +\fIPathName\fR is the name of the command, which is the same as +the toplevel widget's path name. \fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs +determine the exact behavior of the command. The following +commands are possible for toplevel widgets: +.TP +\fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR +Returns the current value of the configuration option given +by \fIoption\fR. +\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBtoplevel\fR +command. +.TP +\fIpathName \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR? +Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. +If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of +the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for +information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified +with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns a list describing the +one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding +sublist of the value returned if no \fIoption\fR is specified). If +one or more \fIoption\-value\fR pairs are specified, then the command +modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in +this case the command returns an empty string. +\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBtoplevel\fR +command. + +.SH BINDINGS +.PP +When a new toplevel is created, it has no default event bindings: +toplevels are not intended to be interactive. + +.SH KEYWORDS +toplevel, widget diff --git a/doc/winfo.n b/doc/winfo.n new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d96e9b9 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/winfo.n @@ -0,0 +1,330 @@ +'\" +'\" Copyright (c) 1990-1994 The Regents of the University of California. +'\" Copyright (c) 1994-1997 Sun Microsystems, Inc. +'\" +'\" See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and redistribution +'\" of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES. +'\" +'\" SCCS: @(#) winfo.n 1.45 97/01/25 13:45:04 +'\" +.so man.macros +.TH winfo n 4.3 Tk "Tk Built-In Commands" +.BS +'\" Note: do not modify the .SH NAME line immediately below! +.SH NAME +winfo \- Return window-related information +.SH SYNOPSIS +\fBwinfo\fR \fIoption \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR? +.BE + +.SH DESCRIPTION +.PP +The \fBwinfo\fR command is used to retrieve information about windows +managed by Tk.

In the last two cases, if the name contains a ``/'' +character, then only the characters after the last slash are used +as the application name. +.PP +The class of the application, which is used for purposes such as +specifying options with a \fBRESOURCE_MANAGER\fR property or .Xdefaults +file, is the same as its name except that the first letter is +capitalized. + +.SH "VARIABLES" +.PP +\fBWish\fR sets the following Tcl variables: +.TP 15 +\fBargc\fR +Contains a count of the number of \fIarg\fR arguments (0 if none), +not including the options described above. +.TP 15 +\fBargv\fR +Contains a Tcl list whose elements are the \fIarg\fR arguments +that follow a \fB\-\|\-\fR option or don't match any of the +options described in OPTIONS above, in order, or an empty string +if there are no such arguments. +.TP 15 +\fBargv0\fR +Contains \fIfileName\fR if it was specified. +Otherwise, contains the name by which \fBwish\fR was invoked. +.TP 15 +\fBgeometry\fR +If the \fB\-geometry\fR option is specified, \fBwish\fR copies its +value into this variable. If the variable still exists after +\fIfileName\fR has been evaluated, \fBwish\fR uses the value of +the variable in a \fBwm geometry\fR command to set the main +window's geometry. +.TP 15 +\fBtcl_interactive\fR +Contains 1 if \fBwish\fR is reading commands interactively (\fIfileName\fR +was not specified and standard input is a terminal-like +device), 0 otherwise. + +.SH "SCRIPT FILES" +.PP +If you create a Tcl script in a file whose first line is +.CS +\fB#!/usr/local/bin/wish\fR +.CE +then you can invoke the script file directly from your shell if +you mark it as executable. +This assumes that \fBwish\fR has been installed in the default +location in /usr/local/bin; if it's installed somewhere else +then you'll have to modify the above line to match. +Many UNIX systems do not allow the \fB#!\fR line to exceed about +30 characters in length, so be sure that the \fBwish\fR executable +can be accessed with a short file name. +.PP +An even better approach is to start your script files with the +following three lines: +.CS +\fB#!/bin/sh +# the next line restarts using wish \e +exec wish "$0" "$@"\fR +.CE +This approach has three advantages over the approach in the previous +paragraph. First, the location of the \fBwish\fR binary doesn't have +to be hard-wired into the script: it can be anywhere in your shell +search path. Second, it gets around the 30-character file name limit +in the previous approach. +Third, this approach will work even if \fBwish\fR is +itself a shell script (this is done on some systems in order to +handle multiple architectures or operating systems: the \fBwish\fR +script selects one of several binaries to run). The three lines +cause both \fBsh\fR and \fBwish\fR to process the script, but the +\fBexec\fR is only executed by \fBsh\fR. +\fBsh\fR processes the script first; it treats the second +line as a comment and executes the third line. +The \fBexec\fR statement cause the shell to stop processing and +instead to start up \fBwish\fR to reprocess the entire script. +When \fBwish\fR starts up, it treats all three lines as comments, +since the backslash at the end of the second line causes the third +line to be treated as part of the comment on the second line. + +.SH PROMPTS +.PP +When \fBwish\fR is invoked interactively it normally prompts for each +command with ``\fB% \fR''. You can change the prompt by setting the +variables \fBtcl_prompt1\fR and \fBtcl_prompt2\fR. If variable +\fBtcl_prompt1\fR exists then it must consist of a Tcl script +to output a prompt; instead of outputting a prompt \fBwish\fR +will evaluate the script in \fBtcl_prompt1\fR. +The variable \fBtcl_prompt2\fR is used in a similar way when +a newline is typed but the current command isn't yet complete; +if \fBtcl_prompt2\fR isn't set then no prompt is output for +incomplete commands. + +.SH KEYWORDS +shell, toolkit diff --git a/doc/wm.n b/doc/wm.n new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d1986b6 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/wm.n @@ -0,0 +1,503 @@ +'\" +'\" Copyright (c) 1991-1994 The Regents of the University of California. +'\" Copyright (c) 1994-1996 Sun Microsystems, Inc. +'\" +'\" See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and redistribution +'\" of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES. +'\" +'\" SCCS: @(#) wm.n 1.37 96/10/14 11:07:58 +'\" +.so man.macros +.TH wm n 4.3 Tk "Tk Built-In Commands" +.BS +'\" Note: do not modify the .SH NAME line immediately below! +.SH NAME +wm \- Communicate with window manager +.SH SYNOPSIS +\fBwm\fR \fIoption window \fR?\fIargs\fR? +.BE + +.SH DESCRIPTION +.PP +The \fBwm\fR command is used to interact with window managers in +order to control such things as the title for a window, its geometry, +or the increments in terms of which it may be resized.

Otherwise, it returns +a Tcl list containing four elements, which are the current values +of \fIminNumer\fR, \fIminDenom\fR, \fImaxNumer\fR, and \fImaxDenom\fR +(if no aspect restrictions are in effect, then an empty string is +returned). +.TP +\fBwm client \fIwindow\fR ?\fIname\fR? +If \fIname\fR is specified, this command stores \fIname\fR (which +should be the name of +the host on which the application is executing) in \fIwindow\fR's +\fBWM_CLIENT_MACHINE\fR property for use by the window manager or +session manager. +The command returns an empty string in this case. +If \fIname\fR isn't specified, the command returns the last name +set in a \fBwm client\fR command for \fIwindow\fR. +If \fIname\fR is specified as an empty string, the command deletes the +\fBWM_CLIENT_MACHINE\fR property from \fIwindow\fR. +.TP +\fBwm colormapwindows \fIwindow\fR ?\fIwindowList\fR? +This command is used to manipulate the \fBWM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS\fR +property, which provides information to the window managers about +windows that have private colormaps. +If \fIwindowList\fR isn't specified, the command returns a list +whose elements are the names of the windows in the \fBWM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS\fR +property. +If \fIwindowList\fR is specified, it consists of a list of window +path names; the command overwrites the \fBWM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS\fR +property with the given windows and returns an empty string. +The \fBWM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS\fR property should normally contain a +list of the internal windows within \fIwindow\fR whose colormaps differ +from their parents. +The order of the windows in the property indicates a priority order: +the window manager will attempt to install as many colormaps as possible +from the head of this list when \fIwindow\fR gets the colormap focus. +If \fIwindow\fR is not included among the windows in \fIwindowList\fR, +Tk implicitly adds it at the end of the \fBWM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS\fR +property, so that its colormap is lowest in priority. +If \fBwm colormapwindows\fR is not invoked, Tk will automatically set +the property for each top-level window to all the internal windows +whose colormaps differ from their parents, followed by the top-level +itself; the order of the internal windows is undefined. +See the ICCCM documentation for more information on the +\fBWM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS\fR property. +.TP +\fBwm command \fIwindow\fR ?\fIvalue\fR? +If \fIvalue\fR is specified, this command stores \fIvalue\fR in \fIwindow\fR's +\fBWM_COMMAND\fR property for use by the window manager or +session manager and returns an empty string. +\fIValue\fR must have proper list structure; the elements should +contain the words of the command used to invoke the application. +If \fIvalue\fR isn't specified then the command returns the last value +set in a \fBwm command\fR command for \fIwindow\fR. +If \fIvalue\fR is specified as an empty string, the command +deletes the \fBWM_COMMAND\fR property from \fIwindow\fR. +.TP +\fBwm deiconify \fIwindow\fR +Arrange for \fIwindow\fR to be displayed in normal (non-iconified) form. +This is done by mapping the window. If the window has never been +mapped then this command will not map the window, but it will ensure +that when the window is first mapped it will be displayed +in de-iconified form. Returns an empty string. +.TP +\fBwm focusmodel \fIwindow\fR ?\fBactive\fR|\fBpassive\fR? +If \fBactive\fR or \fBpassive\fR is supplied as an optional argument +to the command, then it specifies the focus model for \fIwindow\fR. +In this case the command returns an empty string. If no additional +argument is supplied, then the command returns the current focus +model for \fIwindow\fR. +An \fBactive\fR focus model means that \fIwindow\fR will claim the +input focus for itself or its descendants, even at times when +the focus is currently in some other application. \fBPassive\fR means that +\fIwindow\fR will never claim the focus for itself: the window manager +should give the focus to \fIwindow\fR at appropriate times. However, +once the focus has been given to \fIwindow\fR or one of its descendants, +the application may re-assign the focus among \fIwindow\fR's descendants. +The focus model defaults to \fBpassive\fR, and Tk's \fBfocus\fR command +assumes a passive model of focusing. +.TP +\fBwm frame \fIwindow\fR +.VS +If \fIwindow\fR has been reparented by the window manager into a +decorative frame, the command returns the platform specific window +identifier for the outermost frame that contains \fIwindow\fR (the +window whose parent is the root or virtual root). If \fIwindow\fR +hasn't been reparented by the window manager then the command returns +the platform specific window identifier for \fIwindow\fR. +.VE +.TP +\fBwm geometry \fIwindow\fR ?\fInewGeometry\fR? +If \fInewGeometry\fR is specified, then the geometry of \fIwindow\fR +is changed and an empty string is returned. Otherwise the current +geometry for \fIwindow\fR is returned (this is the most recent +geometry specified either by manual resizing or +in a \fBwm geometry\fR command). \fINewGeometry\fR has +the form \fB=\fIwidth\fBx\fIheight\fB\(+-\fIx\fB\(+-\fIy\fR, where +any of \fB=\fR, \fIwidth\fBx\fIheight\fR, or \fB\(+-\fIx\fB\(+-\fIy\fR +may be omitted. \fIWidth\fR and \fIheight\fR are positive integers +specifying the desired dimensions of \fIwindow\fR. If \fIwindow\fR +is gridded (see GRIDDED GEOMETRY MANAGEMENT below) then the dimensions +are specified in grid units; otherwise they are specified in pixel +units. \fIX\fR and \fIy\fR specify the desired location of +\fIwindow\fR on the screen, in pixels. +If \fIx\fR is preceded by \fB+\fR, it specifies +the number of pixels between the left edge of the screen and the left +edge of \fIwindow\fR's border; if preceded by \fB\-\fR then +\fIx\fR specifies the number of pixels +between the right edge of the screen and the right edge of \fIwindow\fR's +border. If \fIy\fR is preceded by \fB+\fR then it specifies the +number of pixels between the top of the screen and the top +of \fIwindow\fR's border; if \fIy\fR is preceded by \fB\-\fR then +it specifies the number of pixels between the bottom of \fIwindow\fR's +border and the bottom of the screen. +If \fInewGeometry\fR is specified as an empty string then any +existing user-specified geometry for \fIwindow\fR is cancelled, and +the window will revert to the size requested internally by its +widgets. +.TP +\fBwm grid \fIwindow\fR ?\fIbaseWidth baseHeight widthInc heightInc\fR? +This command indicates that \fIwindow\fR is to be managed as a +gridded window. +It also specifies the relationship between grid units and pixel units. +\fIBaseWidth\fR and \fIbaseHeight\fR specify the number of grid +units corresponding to the pixel dimensions requested internally +by \fIwindow\fR using \fBTk_GeometryRequest\fR. \fIWidthInc\fR +and \fIheightInc\fR specify the number of pixels in each horizontal +and vertical grid unit. +These four values determine a range of acceptable sizes for +\fIwindow\fR, corresponding to grid-based widths and heights +that are non-negative integers. +Tk will pass this information to the window manager; during +manual resizing, the window manager will restrict the window's size +to one of these acceptable sizes. +Furthermore, during manual resizing the window manager will display +the window's current size in terms of grid units rather than pixels. +If \fIbaseWidth\fR etc. are all specified as empty strings, then +\fIwindow\fR will no longer be managed as a gridded window. If +\fIbaseWidth\fR etc. are specified then the return value is an +empty string. +Otherwise the return value is a Tcl list containing +four elements corresponding to the current \fIbaseWidth\fR, +\fIbaseHeight\fR, \fIwidthInc\fR, and \fIheightInc\fR; if +\fIwindow\fR is not currently gridded, then an empty string +is returned. +Note: this command should not be needed very often, since the +\fBTk_SetGrid\fR library procedure and the \fBsetGrid\fR option +provide easier access to the same functionality. +.TP +\fBwm group \fIwindow\fR ?\fIpathName\fR? +If \fIpathName\fR is specified, it gives the path name for the leader of +a group of related windows. The window manager may use this information, +for example, to unmap all of the windows in a group when the group's +leader is iconified. \fIPathName\fR may be specified as an empty string to +remove \fIwindow\fR from any group association. If \fIpathName\fR is +specified then the command returns an empty string; otherwise it +returns the path name of \fIwindow\fR's current group leader, or an empty +string if \fIwindow\fR isn't part of any group. +.TP +\fBwm iconbitmap \fIwindow\fR ?\fIbitmap\fR? +If \fIbitmap\fR is specified, then it names a bitmap in the standard +forms accepted by Tk (see the \fBTk_GetBitmap\fR manual entry for details). +This bitmap is passed to the window manager to be displayed in +\fIwindow\fR's icon, and the command returns an empty string. If +an empty string is specified for \fIbitmap\fR, then any current icon +bitmap is cancelled for \fIwindow\fR. +If \fIbitmap\fR is specified then the command returns an empty string. +Otherwise it returns the name of +the current icon bitmap associated with \fIwindow\fR, or an empty +string if \fIwindow\fR has no icon bitmap. +.TP +\fBwm iconify \fIwindow\fR +Arrange for \fIwindow\fR to be iconified. It \fIwindow\fR hasn't +yet been mapped for the first time, this command will arrange for +it to appear in the iconified state when it is eventually mapped. +.TP +\fBwm iconmask \fIwindow\fR ?\fIbitmap\fR? +If \fIbitmap\fR is specified, then it names a bitmap in the standard +forms accepted by Tk (see the \fBTk_GetBitmap\fR manual entry for details). +This bitmap is passed to the window manager to be used as a mask +in conjunction with the \fBiconbitmap\fR option: where the mask +has zeroes no icon will be displayed; where it has ones, the bits +from the icon bitmap will be displayed. If +an empty string is specified for \fIbitmap\fR then any current icon +mask is cancelled for \fIwindow\fR (this is equivalent to specifying +a bitmap of all ones). If \fIbitmap\fR is specified +then the command returns an empty string. Otherwise it +returns the name of the current icon mask associated with +\fIwindow\fR, or an empty string if no mask is in effect. +.TP +\fBwm iconname \fIwindow\fR ?\fInewName\fR? +If \fInewName\fR is specified, then it is passed to the window +manager; the window manager should display \fInewName\fR inside +the icon associated with \fIwindow\fR. In this case an empty +string is returned as result. If \fInewName\fR isn't specified +then the command returns the current icon name for \fIwindow\fR, +or an empty string if no icon name has been specified (in this +case the window manager will normally display the window's title, +as specified with the \fBwm title\fR command). +.TP +\fBwm iconposition \fIwindow\fR ?\fIx y\fR? +If \fIx\fR and \fIy\fR are specified, they are passed to the window +manager as a hint about where to position the icon for \fIwindow\fR. +In this case an empty string is returned. If \fIx\fR and \fIy\fR are +specified as empty strings then any existing icon position hint is cancelled. +If neither \fIx\fR nor \fIy\fR is specified, then the command returns +a Tcl list containing two values, which are the current icon position +hints (if no hints are in effect then an empty string is returned). +.TP +\fBwm iconwindow \fIwindow\fR ?\fIpathName\fR? +If \fIpathName\fR is specified, it is the path name for a window to +use as icon for \fIwindow\fR: when \fIwindow\fR is iconified then +\fIpathName\fR will be mapped to serve as icon, and when \fIwindow\fR +is de-iconified then \fIpathName\fR will be unmapped again. If +\fIpathName\fR is specified as an empty string then any existing +icon window association for \fIwindow\fR will be cancelled. If +the \fIpathName\fR argument is specified then an empty string is +returned. Otherwise the command returns the path name of the +current icon window for \fIwindow\fR, or an empty string if there +is no icon window currently specified for \fIwindow\fR. +Button press events are disabled for \fIwindow\fR as long as it is +an icon window; this is needed in order to allow window managers +to ``own'' those events. +Note: not all window managers support the notion of an icon window. +.TP +\fBwm maxsize \fIwindow\fR ?\fIwidth height\fR? +If \fIwidth\fR and \fIheight\fR are specified, they give +the maximum permissible dimensions for \fIwindow\fR. +For gridded windows the dimensions are specified in +grid units; otherwise they are specified in pixel units. +The window manager will restrict the window's dimensions to be +less than or equal to \fIwidth\fR and \fIheight\fR. +If \fIwidth\fR and \fIheight\fR are +specified, then the command returns an empty string. Otherwise +it returns a Tcl list with two elements, which are the +maximum width and height currently in effect. +The maximum size defaults to the size of the screen. +If resizing has been disabled with the \fBwm resizable\fR command, +then this command has no effect. +See the sections on geometry management below for more information. +.TP +\fBwm minsize \fIwindow\fR ?\fIwidth height\fR? +If \fIwidth\fR and \fIheight\fR are specified, they give the +minimum permissible dimensions for \fIwindow\fR. +For gridded windows the dimensions are specified in +grid units; otherwise they are specified in pixel units. +The window manager will restrict the window's dimensions to be +greater than or equal to \fIwidth\fR and \fIheight\fR. +If \fIwidth\fR and \fIheight\fR are +specified, then the command returns an empty string. Otherwise +it returns a Tcl list with two elements, which are the +minimum width and height currently in effect. +The minimum size defaults to one pixel in each dimension. +If resizing has been disabled with the \fBwm resizable\fR command, +then this command has no effect. +See the sections on geometry management below for more information. +.TP +\fBwm overrideredirect \fIwindow\fR ?\fIboolean\fR? +If \fIboolean\fR is specified, it must have a proper boolean form and +the override-redirect flag for \fIwindow\fR is set to that value. +If \fIboolean\fR is not specified then \fB1\fR or \fB0\fR is +returned to indicate whether or not the override-redirect flag +is currently set for \fIwindow\fR. +Setting the override-redirect flag for a window causes +it to be ignored by the window manager; among other things, this means +that the window will not be reparented from the root window into a +decorative frame and the user will not be able to manipulate the +window using the normal window manager mechanisms. +.TP +\fBwm positionfrom \fIwindow\fR ?\fIwho\fR? +If \fIwho\fR is specified, it must be either \fBprogram\fR or +\fBuser\fR, or an abbreviation of one of these two. It indicates +whether \fIwindow\fR's current position was requested by the +program or by the user. Many window managers ignore program-requested +initial positions and ask the user to manually position the window; if +\fBuser\fR is specified then the window manager should position the +window at the given place without asking the user for assistance. +If \fIwho\fR is specified as an empty string, then the current position +source is cancelled. +If \fIwho\fR is specified, then the command returns an empty string. +Otherwise it returns \fBuser\fR or \fBwindow\fR to indicate the +source of the window's current position, or an empty string if +no source has been specified yet. Most window managers interpret +``no source'' as equivalent to \fBprogram\fR. +Tk will automatically set the position source to \fBuser\fR +when a \fBwm geometry\fR command is invoked, unless the source has +been set explicitly to \fBprogram\fR. +.TP +\fBwm protocol \fIwindow\fR ?\fIname\fR? ?\fIcommand\fR? +This command is used to manage window manager protocols such as +\fBWM_DELETE_WINDOW\fR. +\fIName\fR is the name of an atom corresponding to a window manager +protocol, such as \fBWM_DELETE_WINDOW\fR or \fBWM_SAVE_YOURSELF\fR +or \fBWM_TAKE_FOCUS\fR. +If both \fIname\fR and \fIcommand\fR are specified, then \fIcommand\fR +is associated with the protocol specified by \fIname\fR. +\fIName\fR will be added to \fIwindow\fR's \fBWM_PROTOCOLS\fR +property to tell the window manager that the application has a +protocol handler for \fIname\fR, and \fIcommand\fR will +be invoked in the future whenever the window manager sends a +message to the client for that protocol. +In this case the command returns an empty string. +If \fIname\fR is specified but \fIcommand\fR isn't, then the current +command for \fIname\fR is returned, or an empty string if there +is no handler defined for \fIname\fR. +If \fIcommand\fR is specified as an empty string then the current +handler for \fIname\fR is deleted and it is removed from the +\fBWM_PROTOCOLS\fR property on \fIwindow\fR; an empty string is +returned. +Lastly, if neither \fIname\fR nor \fIcommand\fR is specified, the +command returns a list of all the protocols for which handlers +are currently defined for \fIwindow\fR. +.RS +.PP +Tk always defines a protocol handler for \fBWM_DELETE_WINDOW\fR, even if +you haven't asked for one with \fBwm protocol\fR. +If a \fBWM_DELETE_WINDOW\fR message arrives when you haven't defined +a handler, then Tk handles the message by destroying the window for +which it was received. +.RE +.TP +\fBwm resizable \fIwindow\fR ?\fIwidth height\fR? +This command controls whether or not the user may interactively +resize a top-level window. If \fIwidth\fR and \fIheight\fR are +specified, they are boolean values that determine whether the +width and height of \fIwindow\fR may be modified by the user. +In this case the command returns an empty string. +If \fIwidth\fR and \fIheight\fR are omitted then the command +returns a list with two 0/1 elements that indicate whether the +width and height of \fIwindow\fR are currently resizable. +By default, windows are resizable in both dimensions. +If resizing is disabled, then the window's size will be the size +from the most recent interactive resize or \fBwm geometry\fR +command. If there has been no such operation then +the window's natural size will be used. +.TP +\fBwm sizefrom \fIwindow\fR ?\fIwho\fR? +If \fIwho\fR is specified, it must be either \fBprogram\fR or +\fBuser\fR, or an abbreviation of one of these two. It indicates +whether \fIwindow\fR's current size was requested by the +program or by the user. Some window managers ignore program-requested +sizes and ask the user to manually size the window; if +\fBuser\fR is specified then the window manager should give the +window its specified size without asking the user for assistance. +If \fIwho\fR is specified as an empty string, then the current size +source is cancelled. +If \fIwho\fR is specified, then the command returns an empty string. +Otherwise it returns \fBuser\fR or \fBwindow\fR to indicate the +source of the window's current size, or an empty string if +no source has been specified yet. Most window managers interpret +``no source'' as equivalent to \fBprogram\fR. +.TP +\fBwm state \fIwindow\fR +Returns the current state of \fIwindow\fR: either \fBnormal\fR, +\fBiconic\fR, \fBwithdrawn\fR, or \fBicon\fR. The difference +between \fBiconic\fR and \fBicon\fR is that \fBiconic\fR refers +to a window that has been iconified (e.g., with the \fBwm iconify\fR +command) while \fBicon\fR refers to a window whose only purpose is +to serve as the icon for some other window (via the \fBwm iconwindow\fR +command). +.TP +\fBwm title \fIwindow\fR ?\fIstring\fR? +If \fIstring\fR is specified, then it will be passed to the window +manager for use as the title for \fIwindow\fR (the window manager +should display this string in \fIwindow\fR's title bar). In this +case the command returns an empty string. If \fIstring\fR isn't +specified then the command returns the current title for the +\fIwindow\fR. The title for a window defaults to its name. +.TP +\fBwm transient \fIwindow\fR ?\fImaster\fR? +If \fImaster\fR is specified, then the window manager is informed +that \fIwindow\fR is a transient window (e.g. pull-down menu) working +on behalf of \fImaster\fR (where \fImaster\fR is the +path name for a top-level window). Some window managers will use +this information to manage \fIwindow\fR specially. If \fImaster\fR +is specified as an empty string then \fIwindow\fR is marked as not +being a transient window any more. If \fImaster\fR is specified, +then the command returns an empty string. Otherwise the command +returns the path name of \fIwindow\fR's current master, or an +empty string if \fIwindow\fR isn't currently a transient window. +.TP +\fBwm withdraw \fIwindow\fR +Arranges for \fIwindow\fR to be withdrawn from the screen. This +causes the window to be unmapped and forgotten about by the window +manager. If the window +has never been mapped, then this command +causes the window to be mapped in the withdrawn state. Not all +window managers appear to know how to handle windows that are +mapped in the withdrawn state. +Note: it sometimes seems to be necessary to withdraw a +window and then re-map it (e.g. with \fBwm deiconify\fR) to get some +window managers to pay attention to changes in window attributes +such as group. + +.SH "GEOMETRY MANAGEMENT" +.PP +By default a top-level window appears on the screen in its +\fInatural size\fR, which is the one determined internally by its +widgets and geometry managers. +If the natural size of a top-level window changes, then the window's size +changes to match. +A top-level window can be given a size other than its natural size in two ways. +First, the user can resize the window manually using the facilities +of the window manager, such as resize handles. +Second, the application can request a particular size for a +top-level window using the \fBwm geometry\fR command. +These two cases are handled identically by Tk; in either case, +the requested size overrides the natural size. +You can return the window to its natural by invoking \fBwm geometry\fR +with an empty \fIgeometry\fR string. +.PP +Normally a top-level window can have any size from one pixel in each +dimension up to the size of its screen. +However, you can use the \fBwm minsize\fR and \fBwm maxsize\fR commands +to limit the range of allowable sizes. +The range set by \fBwm minsize\fR and \fBwm maxsize\fR applies to +all forms of resizing, including the window's natural size as +well as manual resizes and the \fBwm geometry\fR command. +You can also use the command \fBwm resizable\fR to completely +disable interactive resizing in one or both dimensions. + +.SH "GRIDDED GEOMETRY MANAGEMENT" +.PP +Gridded geometry management occurs when one of the widgets of an +application supports a range of useful sizes. +This occurs, for example, in a text editor where the scrollbars, +menus, and other adornments are fixed in size but the edit widget +can support any number of lines of text or characters per line. +In this case, it is usually desirable to let the user specify the +number of lines or characters-per-line, either with the +\fBwm geometry\fR command or by interactively resizing the window. +In the case of text, and in other interesting cases also, only +discrete sizes of the window make sense, such as integral numbers +of lines and characters-per-line; arbitrary pixel sizes are not useful. +.PP +Gridded geometry management provides support for this kind of +application. +Tk (and the window manager) assume that there is a grid of some +sort within the application and that the application should be +resized in terms of \fIgrid units\fR rather than pixels. +Gridded geometry management is typically invoked by turning on +the \fBsetGrid\fR option for a widget; it can also be invoked +with the \fBwm grid\fR command or by calling \fBTk_SetGrid\fR. +In each of these approaches the particular widget (or sometimes +code in the application as a whole) specifies the relationship between +integral grid sizes for the window and pixel sizes. +To return to non-gridded geometry management, invoke +\fBwm grid\fR with empty argument strings. +.PP +When gridded geometry management is enabled then all the dimensions specified +in \fBwm minsize\fR, \fBwm maxsize\fR, and \fBwm geometry\fR commands +are treated as grid units rather than pixel units. +Interactive resizing is also carried out in even numbers of grid units +rather than pixels. + +.SH BUGS +.PP +Most existing window managers appear to have bugs that affect the +operation of the \fBwm\fR command. For example, some changes won't +take effect if the window is already active: the window will have +to be withdrawn and de-iconified in order to make the change happen. + +.SH KEYWORDS +aspect ratio, deiconify, focus model, geometry, grid, group, icon, iconify, increments, position, size, title, top-level window, units, window manager diff --git a/license.terms b/license.terms new file mode 100644 index 0000000..03ca6fc --- /dev/null +++ b/license.terms @@ -0,0 +1,39 @@ +This software is copyrighted by the Regents of the University of +California, Sun Microsystems, Inc., and other parties.
