.BE

.SH "BOXES"
The \fBTtk_Box\fR structure represents a rectangular region of a window: 
.CS
typedef struct 	{
    int x;
    int y;
    int width;
    int height;
} Ttk_Box;
.CE
All coordinates are relative to the window.
.PP
\fBTtk_MakeBox\fR is a convenience routine that contsructs
a \fBTtk_Box\fR structure representing a region \fIwidth\fR pixels
wide, \fIheight\fR pixels tall, at the specified \fIx, y\fR coordinates.
.PP
\fBTtk_PadBox\fR returns a new box located inside the specified \fIparcel\fR,
shrunken according to the left, top, right, and bottom margins 
specified by \fIpadding\fR.
.PP
\fBTtk_ExpandBox\fR is the inverse of \fBTtk_PadBox\fR:
it returns a new box surrounding the specified \fIparcel\fR,
expanded  according to the left, top, right, and bottom margins 
specified by \fIpadding\fR.
.PP
\fBTtk_PackBox\fR allocates a parcel \fIwidth\fR by \fIheight\fR
pixels wide on the specified \fIside\fR of the \fIcavity\fR,
and shrinks the \fIcavity\fR accordingly.
.PP
\fBTtk_StickBox\fR places a box with the requested \fIwidth\fR
and \fIheight\fR inside the \fIparcel\fR according to the 
\fIsticky\fR bits.
.PP
\fBTtk_PlaceBox\fR combines \fBTtk_PackBox\fR and \fBTtk_StickBox\fR:
it allocates a parcel on the specified \fIside\fR of the \fIcavity\fR,
places a box of the requested size inside the parcel according to \fIsticky\fR,
and shrinks the \fIcavity\fR.
.PP
\fBTtk_AnchorBox\fR places a box with the requested \fIwidth\fR
and \fIheight\fR inside the \fIparcel\fR according to the
specified \fIanchor\fR option.
.PP
\fBTtk_BoxContains\fR tests if the specified \fIx, y\fR coordinate
lies within the rectangular region \fIbox\fR.
.SH "PADDDING"
The \fBTtk_Padding\fR structure is used to represent 
borders, internal padding, and external margins:
.CS
typedef struct {
    short left;
    short top;
    short right;
    short bottom;
} Ttk_Padding;
.CE
.PP 
\fBTtk_MakePadding\fR is a convenience routine that contsructs
a \fBTtk_Padding\fR structure with the specified left, top, right, and bottom
components.  
.PP
\fBTtk_UniformPadding\fR constructs a \fBTtk_Padding\fR structure
with all components equal to the specified \fIborder\fR.
.PP
\fBTtk_AddPadding\fR adds two \fBTtk_Padding\fRs together
and returns a combined padding containing the sum of the
individual padding components.
.PP
\fBTtk_RelievePadding\fR 
adds an extra 2 pixels of padding to \fIpadding\fR
according to the specified \fIrelief\fR.
If \fIrelief\fR is \fBTK_RELIEF_SUNKEN\fR, 
adds two pixels at the top and left
so the inner region is shifted down and to the left.
If it is \fBTK_RELIEF_RAISED\fR, adds two pixels
at the bottom and right so 
the inner region is shifted up and to the right.
Otherwise, adds 1 pixel on all sides.
This is typically used in element geometry procedures to simulate a
.QW pressed-in
look for pushbuttons.
.SH "CONVERSION ROUTINES"
\fBTtk_GetPaddingFromObj\fR converts the string in \fIobjPtr\fR
to a \fBTtk_Padding\fR structure.
The string representation is a list of 
up to four length specifications 
.QW "\fIleft top right bottom\fR" .
If fewer than four elements are specified, 
\fIbottom\fR defaults to \fItop\fR,
\fIright\fR defaults to \fIleft\fR, and 
\fItop\fR defaults to \fIleft\fR.
See \fBTk_GetPixelsFromObj(3)\fR for the syntax of length specifications.
.PP
\fBTtk_GetBorderFromObj\fR is the same as \fBTtk_GetPaddingFromObj\fR
except that the lengths are specified as integers 
(i.e., resolution-dependant values like \fI3m\fR are not allowed).
.PP
\fBTtk_GetStickyFromObj\fR converts the string in \fIobjPtr\fR
to a \fIsticky\fR bitmask.  The string contains zero or more
of the characters \fBn\fR, \fBs\fR, \fBe\fR, or \fBw\fR.
