DESCRIPTION
These procedures are called by canvas type managers to per-
form various utility functions.Tk_CanvasTkwin returns the Tk_Window associated with a par-
ticular canvas.Tk_CanvasGetCoord translates a string specification of a
coordinate (such as 2p or 1.6c) into a double-precision can-
vas coordinate. If string is a valid coordinate descriptionthen Tk_CanvasGetCoord stores the corresponding canvas coor-
dinate at *doublePtr and returns TCL_OK. Otherwise it
stores an error message in interp->result and returns
TCL_ERROR.
Tk_CanvasDrawableCoords is called by type managers during
redisplay to compute where to draw things. Given x and y coordinates in the space of the canvas,Tk_CanvasDrawableCoords computes the corresponding pixel in
the drawable that is currently being used for redisplay; it returns those coordinates in *drawableXPtr and *drawableYPtr. This procedure should not be invoked except during redisplay.Tk_CanvasSetStippleOrigin is also used during redisplay. It
sets the stipple origin in gc so that stipples drawn with gc in the current offscreen pixmap will line up with stipples drawn with origin (0,0) in the canvas's actual window.Tk_CanvasSetStippleOrigin is needed in order to guarantee
that stipple patterns line up properly when the canvas is redisplayed in small pieces. Redisplays are carried out indouble-buffered fashion where a piece of the canvas is
redrawn in an offscreen pixmap and then copied back onto the screen. In this approach the stipple origins in graphicscontexts need to be adjusted during each redisplay to com-
pensate for the position of the off-screen pixmap relative
to the window. If an item is being drawn with stipples, its Tk Last change: 4.1 3Tk Library Procedures Tk_CanvasTkwin(3TK)
type manager typically calls Tk_CanvasSetStippleOrigin just
before using gc to draw something; after it is finished drawing, the type manager calls XSetTSOrigin to restore the origin in gc back to (0,0) (the restore is needed because graphics contexts are shared, so they cannot be modified permanently).Tk_CanvasWindowCoords is similar to Tk_CanvasDrawableCoords
except that it returns coordinates in the canvas's window onthe screen, instead of coordinates in an off-screen pixmap.
Tk_CanvasEventuallyRedraw may be invoked by a type manager
to inform Tk that a portion of a canvas needs to be redrawn. The x1, y1, x2, and y2 arguments specify the region that needs to be redrawn, in canvas coordinates. Type managersrarely need to invoke Tk_CanvasEventuallyRedraw, since Tk
can normally figure out when an item has changed and makethe redisplay request on its behalf (this happens, for exam-
ple whenever Tk calls a configureProc or scaleProc). The only time that a type manager needs to callTk_CanvasEventuallyRedraw is if an item has changed on its
own without being invoked through one of the procedures inits Tk_ItemType; this could happen, for example, in an image
item if the image is modified using image commands.Tk_CanvasTagsParseProc and Tk_CanvasTagsPrintProc are pro-
cedures that handle the -tags option for canvas items. The
code of a canvas type manager won't call these procedures directly, but will use their addresses to create aTk_CustomOption structure for the -tags option. The code
typically looks like this: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},
... }; KEYWORDS canvas, focus, item type, redisplay, selection, type managerATTRIBUTES
