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.
