NAME

       img-pixmap - Img, Pixmap Image type (pixmap)

SYNOPSIS

       package require Tk

       package require img::pixmap  ?1.3?

       image create pixmap ?name? ?options?

       imageName option ?arg arg ...?

       imageName cget option

       imageName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?

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 var-
       ious 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  cre-
	      ate 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.

NAME

       img-window - Img, Tk Windows (window)

SYNOPSIS

       package require Tk

       package require img::window  ?1.3?

       image create photo ?name? ?options?

_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       The package img::window 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::window.

       Like all packages of Img it does not provide new commands, but extends the  existing  Tk  command  image.   More  specifically  img::window
       extends Tk's photo image type.

       The name of the new format handler is window.

       This  handler  does not provide additional configuration options.  This handler is special. Instead of reading or writing image data from a
       file or string it allows the embedding of a Tk widget into the photo image. In other words, it takes a snapshot of the  contents  of  a	Tk
       window.

       All of the above means that in a call like

       image create photo ?name? ?options?

       [1]    Image  data  in  window  format (option -data) is detected automatically. Image data is considered to be in the window format if the
	      value given to option -data is the name of an existing Tk window.

	      Note that the standard option -file is not supported by this handler.

       [2]    The format name window is recognized by the option -format.
