DESCRIPTION
Tk_FindPhoto returns an opaque handle that is used to iden-
tify a particular photo image to the other procedures. Theparameter is the name of the image, that is, the name speci-
fied to the image create photo command, or assigned by that command if no name was specified.Tk_PhotoPutBlock is used to supply blocks of image data to
be displayed. The call affects an area of the image of sizewidth x height pixels, with its top-left corner at coordi-
nates (x,y). All of width, height, x, and y 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 imagesize with the -width and/or -height widget configuration
options (see photo(1T)); in that case the area is silently clipped to the image boundaries.The block parameter is a pointer to a Tk_PhotoImageBlock
structure, defined as follows: typedef struct { unsigned char *pixelPtr; int width; int height; int pitch; int pixelSize; int offset[4];} Tk_PhotoImageBlock;
The pixelPtr field points to the first pixel, that is, thetop-left pixel in the block. The width and height fields
specify the dimensions of the block of pixels. The pixel-
Size field specifies the address difference between two hor-
izontally adjacent pixels. Often it is 3 or 4, but it can have any value. The pitch field specifies the address difference between two vertically adjacent pixels. The Tk Last change: 8.0 4Tk Library Procedures Tk_FindPhoto(3TK)
offset array contains the offsets from the address of a pixel to the addresses of the bytes containing the red, green, blue and alpha (transparency) components. These are normally 0, 1, 2 and 3, but can have other values, e.g., for images that are stored as separate red, green and blue planes.The compRule parameter to Tk_PhotoPutBlock specifies a com- |
positing rule that says what to do with transparent pixels. |The value TK_PHOTO_COMPOSITE_OVERLAY says that the previous |
contents of the photo image should show through, and the |value TK_PHOTO_COMPOSITE_SET says that the previous contents |
of the photo image should be completely ignored, and the | values from the block be copied directly across. The | behavior in Tk8.3 and earlier was equivalent to having |TK_PHOTO_COMPOSITE_OVERLAY as a compositing rule.
The value given for the width and height parameters toTk_PhotoPutBlock do not have to correspond to the values
specified in block. If they are smaller, Tk_PhotoPutBlock
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.Tk_PhotoPutZoomedBlock works like Tk_PhotoPutBlock except
that the image can be reduced or enlarged for display. The subsampleX and subsampleY parameters allow the size of theimage to be reduced by subsampling. Tk_PhotoPutZoomedBlock
will use only pixels from the input image whose X coordi-
nates are multiples of subsampleX, and whose Y coordinates are multiples of subsampleY. For example, an image of512x512 pixels can be reduced to 256x256 by setting subsam-
pleX and subsampleY to 2. The zoomX and zoomY parameters allow the image to be enlarged by pixel replication. Each pixel of the (possibly subsampled) input image will be written to a block zoomX pixels wide and zoomY pixels high of the displayed image. Subsampling and zooming can be used together for special effects.Tk_PhotoGetImage can be used to retrieve image data from a
photo image. Tk_PhotoGetImage fills in the structure
pointed to by the blockPtr 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.Tk_PhotoGetImage returns 1 for compatibility with the
corresponding procedure in the old photo widget. Tk Last change: 8.0 5Tk Library Procedures Tk_FindPhoto(3TK)
Tk_PhotoBlank blanks the entire area of the photo image.
Blank areas of a photo image are transparent.Tk_PhotoExpand requests that the widget's image be expanded
to be at least width x height pixels in size. The width and/or height are unchanged if the user has specified anexplicit image width or height with the -width and/or
-height configuration options, respectively. If the image
data are being supplied in many small blocks, it is moreefficient to use Tk_PhotoExpand or Tk_PhotoSetSize at the
beginning rather than allowing the image to expand in many small increments as image blocks are supplied.Tk_PhotoSetSize specifies the size of the image, as if the
user had specified the given width and height values to the-width and -height configuration options. A value of zero
for width or height does not change the image's width orheight, but allows the width or height to be changed by sub-
sequent calls to Tk_PhotoPutBlock, Tk_PhotoPutZoomedBlock or
Tk_PhotoExpand.
Tk_PhotoGetSize returns the dimensions of the image in
*widthPtr and *heightPtr. PORTABILITYIn Tk 8.3 and earlier, Tk_PhotoPutBlock and |
Tk_PhotoPutZoomedBlock had different signatures. If you want |
to compile code that uses the old interface against 8.4 | without updating your code, compile it with the flag |-DUSE_COMPOSITELESS_PHOTO_PUT_BLOCK. Code linked using |
Stubs against older versions of Tk will continue to work. CREDITS The code for the photo image type was developed by Paul Mackerras, based on his earlier photo widget code. KEYWORDS photo, imageATTRIBUTES
