NAME

       Tk_GetJoinStyle, Tk_NameOfJoinStyle - translate between strings and join styles

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tk.h>

       int
       Tk_GetJoinStyle(interp, string, joinPtr)

       CONST char *
       Tk_NameOfJoinStyle(join)

ARGUMENTS

       Tcl_Interp   *interp    (in)	 Interpreter to use for error reporting.

       CONST char   *string    (in)	 String containing name of join style: one of ``bevel'', ``miter'', or ``round''.

       int	    *joinPtr   (out)	 Pointer to location in which to store X join style corresponding to string.

       int	    join       (in)	 Join style: one of JoinBevel, JoinMiter, JoinRound.

DESCRIPTION

       Tk_GetJoinStyle places in *joinPtr the X join style corresponding to string, which will be one of JoinBevel, JoinMiter, or JoinRound.  Join
       styles are typically used in X graphics contexts to indicate how adjacent line segments should be joined together.  See the X documentation
       for information on what each style implies.

       Under  normal  circumstances the return value is TCL_OK and interp is unused.  If string doesn't contain a valid join style or an abbrevia-
       tion of one of these names, then an error message is stored in interp->result, TCL_ERROR is returned, and *joinPtr is unmodified.

       Tk_NameOfJoinStyle is the logical inverse of Tk_GetJoinStyle.  Given a join style such  as  JoinBevel  it  returns  a  statically-allocated
       string corresponding to join.  If join isn't a legal join style, then ``unknown join style'' is returned.
