DESCRIPTION
     These procedures are invoked by widgets that wish to display
     images.   Tk_GetImage  is  invoked by a widget when it first
     decides to display an image.  name gives  the  name  of  the
     desired  image  and  tkwin  identifies  the window where the
     image will be displayed.  Tk_GetImage looks up the image  in
     the  table  of existing images and returns a token for a new
     instance of the image.  If  the  image  doesn't  exist  then
     Tk_GetImage  returns  NULL  and  leaves  an error message in
     interp->result.

     When a widget wishes to actually display an  image  it  must
     call Tk_RedrawImage, identifying the image (image), a region
     within the image to redisplay (imageX,  imageY,  width,  and
     height),  and  a  place  to  display  the  image  (drawable,
     drawableX,  and  drawableY).   Tk  will  then   invoke   the
     appropriate  image manager, which will display the requested
     portion of the image before returning.

     A widget can find out the dimensions of an image by  calling
     Tk_SizeOfImage:   the width and height will be stored in the
     locations given by widthPtr and heightPtr, respectively.

     When a widget is finished with an image (e.g., the widget is
     being  deleted  or  it  is  going  to  use a different image
     instead of the current one), it must  call  Tk_FreeImage  to
     release  the  image instance.  The widget should never again
     use the image token after passing it to Tk_FreeImage.  There
     must  be  exactly  one call to Tk_FreeImage for each call to
     Tk_GetImage.

Tk Library Procedures                            Tk_GetImage(3TK)



     If the contents or size of an image changes, then any  widg-
     ets  using the image will need to find out about the changes
     so that they can redisplay themselves.  The  changeProc  and
     clientData  arguments  to Tk_GetImage are used for this pur-
     pose.  changeProc will be called by  Tk  whenever  a  change
     occurs in the image;  it must match the following prototype:
          typedef void Tk_ImageChangedProc(
            ClientData clientData,
            int x,
            int y,
            int width,
            int height,
            int imageWidth,
            int imageHeight);
     The clientData argument to changeProc is  the  same  as  the
     clientData argument to Tk_GetImage.  It is usually a pointer
     to the widget record for  the  widget  or  some  other  data
     structure managed by the widget.  The arguments x, y, width,
     and height identify a region within the image that  must  be
     redisplayed;  they are specified in pixels measured from the
     upper-left corner of the image.   The  arguments  imageWidth
     and imageHeight give the image's (new) size.
