DESCRIPTION¶
The package
img::pixmap is a sub-package of
Img. It can be loaded
as a part of the complete Img support, via
package require Img, or on
its own, via
package require img::pixmap.
Like all packages of
Img it does
not provide new commands, but
extends the existing
Tk command
image.
In contrast to all other sub packages this packages does
not extend
Tk's
photo image type, but rather provides a completely new
image type, on the same level as
photo and
bitmap.
CREATING PIXMAPS¶
Like all images, pixmaps are created using the
image create command.
- image create pixmap ?name?
?options?
- Pixmaps support the following options:
- -data string
- Specifies the contents of the source pixmap as a string.
The string must adhere to X11 pixmap format (e.g., as generated by the
pixmap program). If both the -data and -file options are
specified, the -data option takes precedence.
- -file name
- name gives the name of a file whose contents define
the source pixmap. The file must adhere to X11 pixmap format (e.g., as
generated by the pixmap program).
IMAGE COMMAND¶
When a pixmap 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:
- imageName option ?arg arg ...?
- Option and the args determine the exact behavior of
the command. The following commands are possible for pixmap images:
- imageName cget option
- Returns the current value of the configuration option given
by option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the
image create pixmap command.
- imageName configure ?option? ?value
option value ...?
- Query or modify the configuration options for the image. If
no option is specified, returns a list describing all of the available
options for imageName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information
on the format of this list). If option is specified with no
value, 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 option is specified). If one or more
option-value 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. Option may have any of the values accepted
by the image create pixmap command.
