NAME
canvas - Create and manipulate canvas widgets SYNOPSIS
canvas pathName ?options? STANDARD OPTIONS
-background -insertborderwidth -selectborderwidth -borderwidth -insertofftime -selectforeground -cursor -insertontime -takefocus -highlightbackground -insertwidth -xscrollcommand -highlightcolor -relief -yscrollcommand -highlightthickness -state -insertbackground -selectbackground See the options manual entry for details on the standard options. WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS [-closeenough closeEnough] Specifies a floating-point value indicating how close the mouse cursor must be to an item before it is consid- ered to be ``inside'' the item. Defaults to 1.0. [-confine confine] Specifies a boolean value that indicates whether or not it should be allowable to set the canvas's view outside the region defined by the scrollRegion argument. Defaults to true, which means that the view will be constrained within the scroll region. [-height height] Specifies a desired window height that the canvas widget should request from its geometry manager. The value may be specified in any of the forms described in the COORDINATES section below. [-scrollre- gion scrollRegion] Specifies a list with four coordinates describing the left, top, right, and bottom coordinates of a rectangular region. This region is used for scrolling purposes and is considered to be the boundary of the information in the canvas. Each of the coordinates may be specified in any of the forms given in the COORDINATES section below. [-state state] Modifies the default state of the canvas where state may be set to one of: normal, disabled, or hidden. Individual canvas objects all have their own state option which may override the default state. Many options can take separate specifications such that the appearance of the item can be different in different situa- tions. The options that start with active control the appearance when the mouse pointer is over it, while the option starting with disabled controls the appearance when the state is disabled. Canvas items which are disabled will not react to canvas bindings. [-width width] Specifies a desired window width that the canvas widget should request from its geometry manager. The value may be specified in any of the forms described in the COORDINATES section below. [-xscrollincrement xScrollIncrement] Specifies an increment for horizontal scrolling, in any of the usual forms permitted for screen distances. If the value of this option is greater than zero, the horizontal view in the window will be constrained so that the canvas x coordinate at the left edge of the window is always an even multiple of xScrollIncrement; fur- thermore, the units for scrolling (e.g., the change in view when the left and right arrows of a scrollbar are selected) will also be xScrollIncrement. If the value of this option is less than or equal to zero, then horizontal scrolling is unconstrained. [-yscrollincre- ment yScrollIncrement] Specifies an increment for vertical scrolling, in any of the usual forms permitted for screen distances. If the value of this option is greater than zero, the vertical view in the window will be constrained so that the canvas y coordinate at the top edge of the window is always an even multiple of yScrollIncrement; furthermore, the units for scrolling (e.g., the change in view when the top and bottom arrows of a scrollbar are selected) will also be yScrollIncrement. If the value of this option is less than or equal to zero, then vertical scrolling is unconstrained. _________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION
The canvas command creates a new window (given by the pathName argument) and makes it into a canvas widget. Additional options, described above, may be specified on the command line or in the option database to configure aspects of the canvas such as its colors and 3-D relief. The canvas command returns its pathName argument. At the time this command is invoked, there must not exist a window named pathName, but pathName's parent must exist. Canvas widgets implement structured graphics. A canvas displays any number of items, which may be things like rectangles, circles, lines, and text. Items may be manipulated (e.g. moved or re-colored) and commands may be associated with items in much the same way that the bind command allows commands to be bound to widgets. For example, a particular command may be associated with the <Button-1> event so that the command is invoked whenever button 1 is pressed with the mouse cursor over an item. This means that items in a canvas can have behaviors defined by the Tcl scripts bound to them. DISPLAY LIST
The items in a canvas are ordered for purposes of display, with the first item in the display list being displayed first, followed by the next item in the list, and so on. Items later in the display list obscure those that are earlier in the display list and are sometimes referred to as being ``on top'' of earlier items. When a new item is created it is placed at the end of the display list, on top of every- thing else. Widget commands may be used to re-arrange the order of the display list. Window items are an exception to the above rules. The underlying window systems require them always to be drawn on top of other items. In addition, the stacking order of window items is not affected by any of the canvas widget commands; you must use the raise and lower Tk com- mands instead. ITEM IDS AND TAGS
Items in a canvas widget may be named in either of two ways: by id or by tag. Each item has a unique identifying number, which is assigned to that item when it is created. The id of an item never changes and id numbers are never re-used within the lifetime of a canvas widget. Each item may also have any number of tags associated with it. A tag is just a string of characters, and it may take any form except that of an integer. For example, ``x123'' is OK but ``123'' isn't. The same tag may be associated with many different items. This is commonly done to group items in various interesting ways; for example, all selected items might be given the tag ``selected''. The tag all is implicitly associated with every item in the canvas; it may be used to invoke operations on all the items in the canvas. The tag current is managed automatically by Tk; it applies to the current item, which is the topmost item whose drawn area covers the posi- tion of the mouse cursor. If the mouse is not in the canvas widget or is not over an item, then no item has the current tag. When specifying items in canvas widget commands, if the specifier is an integer then it is assumed to refer to the single item with that id. If the specifier is not an integer, then it is assumed to refer to all of the items in the canvas that have a tag matching the speci- fier. The symbol tagOrId is used below to indicate that an argument specifies either an id that selects a single item or a tag that selects zero or more items. tagOrId may contain a logical expressions of tags by using operators: '&&', '||', '^' '!', and parenthesized subexpressions. For example: .c find withtag {(a&&!b)||(!a&&b)} or equivalently: .c find withtag {a^b} will find only those items with either "a" or "b" tags, but not both. Some widget commands only operate on a single item at a time; if tagOrId is specified in a way that names multiple items, then the normal behavior is for the command to use the first (lowest) of these items in the display list that is suitable for the command. Exceptions are noted in the widget command descriptions below. COORDINATES
All coordinates related to canvases are stored as floating-point numbers. Coordinates and distances are specified in screen units, which are floating-point numbers optionally followed by one of several letters. If no letter is supplied then the distance is in pixels. If the letter is m then the distance is in millimeters on the screen; if it is c then the distance is in centimeters; i means inches, and p means printers points (1/72 inch). Larger y-coordinates refer to points lower on the screen; larger x-coordinates refer to points farther to the right. Coordinates can be specified either as an even number of parameters, or as a single list parameter containing an even number of | x and y coordinate values. TRANSFORMATIONS
Normally the origin of the canvas coordinate system is at the upper-left corner of the window containing the canvas. It is possible to adjust the origin of the canvas coordinate system relative to the origin of the window using the xview and yview widget commands; this is typically used for scrolling. Canvases do not support scaling or rotation of the canvas coordinate system relative to the window coordi- nate system. Individual items may be moved or scaled using widget commands described below, but they may not be rotated. Note that the default origin of the canvas's visible area is coincident with the origin for the whole window as that makes bindings using the mouse position easier to work with; you only need to use the canvasx and canvasy widget commands if you adjust the origin of the visi- ble area. However, this also means that any focus ring (as controlled by the -highlightthickness option) and window border (as controlled by the -borderwidth option) must be taken into account before you get to the visible area of the canvas. INDICES
Text items support the notion of an index for identifying particular positions within the item. In a similar fashion, line and polygon items support index for identifying, inserting and deleting subsets of their coordinates. Indices are used for commands such as inserting or deleting a range of characters or coordinates, and setting the insertion cursor position. An index may be specified in any of a number of ways, and different types of items may support different forms for specifying indices. Text items support the following forms for an index; if you define new types of text-like items, it would be advisable to support as many of these forms as practical. Note that it is possible to refer to the character just after the last one in the text item; this is necessary for such tasks as inserting new text at the end of the item. Lines and Polygons don't support the insertion cursor and the selection. Their indices are supposed to be even always, because coordinates always appear in pairs. number A decimal number giving the position of the desired character within the text item. 0 refers to the first character, 1 to the next character, and so on. If indexes are odd for lines and polygons, they will be automatically decremented by one. A number less than 0 is treated as if it were zero, and a number greater than the length of the text item is treated as if it were equal to the length of the text item. For polygons, numbers less than 0 or greater then the length of the coordinate list will be adjusted by adding or subtracting the length until the result is between zero and the length, inclusive. end Refers to the character or coordinate just after the last one in the item (same as the number of characters or coordinates in the item). insert Refers to the character just before which the insertion cursor is drawn in this item. Not valid for lines and polygons. sel.first Refers to the first selected character in the item. If the selection isn't in this item then this form is illegal. sel.last Refers to the last selected character in the item. If the selection isn't in this item then this form is illegal. @x,y Refers to the character or coordinate at the point given by x and y, where x and y are specified in the coordinate system of the canvas. If x and y lie outside the coordinates covered by the text item, then they refer to the first or last character in the line that is closest to the given point. DASH PATTERNS
Many items support the notion of a dash pattern for outlines. The first possible syntax is a list of integers. Each element represents the number of pixels of a line segment. Only the odd segments are drawn using the "outline" color. The other segments are drawn transparent. The second possible syntax is a character list containing only 5 possible characters [.,-_ ]. The space can be used to enlarge the space between other line elements, and can not occur as the first position in the string. Some examples: -dash .= -dash {2 4} -dash - = -dash {6 4} -dash -. = -dash {6 4 2 4} -dash -.. = -dash {6 4 2 4 2 4} -dash {. } = -dash {2 8} -dash ,= -dash {4 4} The main difference of this syntax with the previous is that it is shape-conserving. This means that all values in the dash list will be multiplied by the line width before display. This assures that "." will always be displayed as a dot and "-" always as a dash regardless of the line width. On systems which support only a limited set of dash patterns, the dash pattern will be displayed as the closest dash pattern that is avail- able. For example, on Windows only the first 4 of the above examples are available. The last 2 examples will be displayed identically to the first one. WIDGET COMMAND
The canvas command creates a new Tcl command whose name is pathName. This command may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following general form: pathName option ?arg arg ...? Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command. The following widget commands are possible for canvas widgets: pathName addtag tag searchSpec ?arg arg ...? For each item that meets the constraints specified by searchSpec and the args, add tag to the list of tags associated with the item if it isn't already present on that list. It is possible that no items will satisfy the constraints given by searchSpec and args, in which case the command has no effect. This command returns an empty string as result. SearchSpec and arg's may take any of the following forms: above tagOrId Selects the item just after (above) the one given by tagOrId in the display list. If tagOrId denotes more than one item, then the last (topmost) of these items in the display list is used. all Selects all the items in the canvas. below tagOrId Selects the item just before (below) the one given by tagOrId in the display list. If tagOrId denotes more than one item, then the first (lowest) of these items in the display list is used. closest x y ?halo? ?start? Selects the item closest to the point given by x and y. If more than one item is at the same closest distance (e.g. two items overlap the point), then the top-most of these items (the last one in the display list) is used. If halo is specified, then it must be a non-negative value. Any item closer than halo to the point is considered to overlap it. The start argu- ment may be used to step circularly through all the closest items. If start is specified, it names an item using a tag or id (if by tag, it selects the first item in the display list with the given tag). Instead of selecting the topmost closest item, this form will select the topmost closest item that is below start in the display list; if no such item exists, then the selection behaves as if the start argument had not been specified. enclosed x1 y1 x2 y2 Selects all the items completely enclosed within the rectangular region given by x1, y1, x2, and y2. X1 must be no greater then x2 and y1 must be no greater than y2. overlapping x1 y1 x2 y2 Selects all the items that overlap or are enclosed within the rectangular region given by x1, y1, x2, and y2. X1 must be no greater then x2 and y1 must be no greater than y2. withtag tagOrId Selects all the items given by tagOrId. pathName bbox tagOrId ?tagOrId tagOrId ...? Returns a list with four elements giving an approximate bounding box for all the items named by the tagOrId arguments. The list has the form ``x1 y1 x2 y2'' such that the drawn areas of all the named elements are within the region bounded by x1 on the left, x2 on the right, y1 on the top, and y2 on the bottom. The return value may overestimate the actual bounding box by a few pixels. If no items match any of the tagOrId arguments or if the matching items have empty bounding boxes (i.e. they have nothing to display) then an empty string is returned. pathName bind tagOrId ?sequence? ?command? This command associates command with all the items given by tagOrId such that whenever the event sequence given by sequence occurs for one of the items the command will be invoked. This widget command is similar to the bind command except that it operates on items in a canvas rather than entire widgets. See the bind manual entry for complete details on the syntax of sequence and the sub- stitutions performed on command before invoking it. If all arguments are specified then a new binding is created, replacing any existing binding for the same sequence and tagOrId (if the first character of command is ``+'' then command augments an existing binding rather than replacing it). In this case the return value is an empty string. If command is omitted then the command returns the command associated with tagOrId and sequence (an error occurs if there is no such binding). If both command and sequence are omitted then the command returns a list of all the sequences for which bindings have been defined for tagOrId. The only events for which bindings may be specified are those related to the mouse and keyboard (such as Enter, Leave, ButtonPress, Motion, and KeyPress) or virtual events. The handling of events in canvases uses the current item defined in ITEM IDS AND TAGS above. Enter and Leave events trigger for an item when it becomes the current item or ceases to be the current item; note that these events are different than Enter and Leave events for windows. Mouse-related events are directed to the current item, if any. Keyboard-related events are directed to the focus item, if any (see the focus widget command below for more on this). If a virtual event is used in a binding, that binding can trigger only if the virtual event is defined by an underlying mouse-related or key- board-related event. It is possible for multiple bindings to match a particular event. This could occur, for example, if one binding is associated with the item's id and another is associated with one of the item's tags. When this occurs, all of the matching bindings are invoked. A binding associated with the all tag is invoked first, followed by one binding for each of the item's tags (in order), followed by a binding associated with the item's id. If there are multiple matching bindings for a single tag, then only the most specific bind- ing is invoked. A continue command in a binding script terminates that script, and a break command terminates that script and skips any remaining scripts for the event, just as for the bind command. If bindings have been created for a canvas window using the bind command, then they are invoked in addition to bindings created for the canvas's items using the bind widget command. The bindings for items will be invoked before any of the bindings for the window as a whole. pathName canvasx screenx ?gridspacing? Given a window x-coordinate in the canvas screenx, this command returns the canvas x-coordinate that is displayed at that location. If gridspacing is specified, then the canvas coordinate is rounded to the nearest multiple of gridspacing units. pathName canvasy screeny ?gridspacing? Given a window y-coordinate in the canvas screeny this command returns the canvas y-coordinate that is displayed at that location. If gridspacing is specified, then the canvas coordinate is rounded to the nearest multiple of gridspacing units. pathName cget option Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the canvas command. pathName configure ?option? ?value? ?option value ...? Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no option is specified, returns a list describing all of the available options for pathName (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 widget 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 canvas command. pathName coords tagOrId ?x0 y0 ...? pathName coords tagOrId ?coordList? Query or modify the coordinates that define an item. If no coordinates are specified, this command returns a list whose elements are the coordinates of the item named by tagOrId. If coordinates are specified, then they replace the current coordinates for the named item. If tagOrId refers to multiple items, then the first one in the display list is used. pathName create type x y ?x y ...? ?option value ...? pathName create type coordList ?option value ...? Create a new item in pathName of type type. The exact format of the arguments after type depends on type, but usually they consist of the coordinates for one or more points, followed by specifications for zero or more item options. See the subsections on indi- vidual item types below for more on the syntax of this command. This command returns the id for the new item. pathName dchars tagOrId first ?last? For each item given by tagOrId, delete the characters, or coordinates, in the range given by first and last, inclusive. If some of the items given by tagOrId don't support indexing operations then they ignore dchars. Text items interpret first and last as indices to a character, line and polygon items interpret them indices to a coordinate (an x,y pair). Indices are described in INDICES above. If last is omitted, it defaults to first. This command returns an empty string. pathName delete ?tagOrId tagOrId ...? Delete each of the items given by each tagOrId, and return an empty string. pathName dtag tagOrId ?tagToDelete? For each of the items given by tagOrId, delete the tag given by tagToDelete from the list of those associated with the item. If an item doesn't have the tag tagToDelete then the item is unaffected by the command. If tagToDelete is omitted then it defaults to tagOrId. This command returns an empty string. pathName find searchCommand ?arg arg ...? This command returns a list consisting of all the items that meet the constraints specified by searchCommand and arg's. SearchCom- mand and args have any of the forms accepted by the addtag command. The items are returned in stacking order, with the lowest item first. pathName focus ?tagOrId? Set the keyboard focus for the canvas widget to the item given by tagOrId. If tagOrId refers to several items, then the focus is set to the first such item in the display list that supports the insertion cursor. If tagOrId doesn't refer to any items, or if none of them support the insertion cursor, then the focus isn't changed. If tagOrId is an empty string, then the focus item is reset so that no item has the focus. If tagOrId is not specified then the command returns the id for the item that currently has the focus, or an empty string if no item has the focus. Once the focus has been set to an item, the item will display the insertion cursor and all keyboard events will be directed to that item. The focus item within a canvas and the focus window on the screen (set with the focus command) are totally independent: a given item doesn't actually have the input focus unless (a) its canvas is the focus window and (b) the item is the focus item within the canvas. In most cases it is advisable to follow the focus widget command with the focus command to set the focus window to the canvas (if it wasn't there already). pathName gettags tagOrId Return a list whose elements are the tags associated with the item given by tagOrId. If tagOrId refers to more than one item, then the tags are returned from the first such item in the display list. If tagOrId doesn't refer to any items, or if the item contains no tags, then an empty string is returned. pathName icursor tagOrId index Set the position of the insertion cursor for the item(s) given by tagOrId to just before the character whose position is given by index. If some or all of the items given by tagOrId don't support an insertion cursor then this command has no effect on them. See INDICES above for a description of the legal forms for index. Note: the insertion cursor is only displayed in an item if that item currently has the keyboard focus (see the widget command focus, below), but the cursor position may be set even when the item doesn't have the focus. This command returns an empty string. pathName index tagOrId index This command returns a decimal string giving the numerical index within tagOrId corresponding to index. Index gives a textual description of the desired position as described in INDICES above. Text items interpret index as an index to a character, line and polygon items interpret it as an index to a coordinate (an x,y pair). The return value is guaranteed to lie between 0 and the num- ber of characters, or coordinates, within the item, inclusive. If tagOrId refers to multiple items, then the index is processed in the first of these items that supports indexing operations (in display list order). pathName insert tagOrId beforeThis string For each of the items given by tagOrId, if the item supports text or coordinate, insertion then string is inserted into the item's text just before the character, or coordinate, whose index is beforeThis. Text items interpret beforeThis as an index to a charac- ter, line and polygon items interpret it as an index to a coordinate (an x,y pair). For lines and polygons the string must be a valid coordinate sequence. See INDICES above for information about the forms allowed for beforeThis. This command returns an empty string. pathName itemcget tagOrId option Returns the current value of the configuration option for the item given by tagOrId whose name is option. This command is similar to the cget widget command except that it applies to a particular item rather than the widget as a whole. Option may have any of the values accepted by the create widget command when the item was created. If tagOrId is a tag that refers to more than one item, the first (lowest) such item is used. pathName itemconfigure tagOrId ?option? ?value? ?option value ...? This command is similar to the configure widget command except that it modifies item-specific options for the items given by tagOrId instead of modifying options for the overall canvas widget. If no option is specified, returns a list describing all of the avail- able options for the first item given by tagOrId (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 corre- sponding sublist of the value returned if no option is specified). If one or more option-value pairs are specified, then the com- mand modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s) in each of the items given by tagOrId; in this case the command returns an empty string. The options and values are the same as those permissible in the create widget command when the item(s) were created; see the sections describing individual item types below for details on the legal options. pathName lower tagOrId ?belowThis? Move all of the items given by tagOrId to a new position in the display list just before the item given by belowThis. If tagOrId refers to more than one item then all are moved but the relative order of the moved items will not be changed. BelowThis is a tag or id; if it refers to more than one item then the first (lowest) of these items in the display list is used as the destination location for the moved items. Note: this command has no effect on window items. Window items always obscure other item types, and the stacking order of window items is determined by the raise and lower commands, not the raise and lower widget commands for can- vases. This command returns an empty string. pathName move tagOrId xAmount yAmount Move each of the items given by tagOrId in the canvas coordinate space by adding xAmount to the x-coordinate of each point associ- ated with the item and yAmount to the y-coordinate of each point associated with the item. This command returns an empty string. pathName postscript ?option value option value ...? Generate a Postscript representation for part or all of the canvas. If the -file option is specified then the Postscript is written to a file and an empty string is returned; otherwise the Postscript is returned as the result of the command. If the interpreter that owns the canvas is marked as safe, the operation will fail because safe interpreters are not allowed to write files. If the -channel option is specified, the argument denotes the name of a channel already opened for writing. The Postscript is written to that channel, and the channel is left open for further writing at the end of the operation. The Postscript is created in Encapsu- lated Postscript form using version 3.0 of the Document Structuring Conventions. Note: by default Postscript is only generated for information that appears in the canvas's window on the screen. If the canvas is freshly created it may still have its initial size of 1x1 pixel so nothing will appear in the Postscript. To get around this problem either invoke the "update" command to wait for the canvas window to reach its final size, or else use the -width and -height options to specify the area of the canvas to print. The option-value argument pairs provide additional information to control the generation of Postscript. The following options are supported: -colormap varName VarName must be the name of an array variable that specifies a color mapping to use in the Postscript. Each element of var- Name must consist of Postscript code to set a particular color value (e.g. ``1.0 1.0 0.0 setrgbcolor''). When outputting color information in the Postscript, Tk checks to see if there is an element of varName with the same name as the color. If so, Tk uses the value of the element as the Postscript command to set the color. If this option hasn't been specified, or if there isn't an entry in varName for a given color, then Tk uses the red, green, and blue intensities from the X color. -colormode mode Specifies how to output color information. Mode must be either color (for full color output), gray (convert all colors to their gray-scale equivalents) or mono (convert all colors to black or white). -file fileName Specifies the name of the file in which to write the Postscript. If this option isn't specified then the Postscript is returned as the result of the command instead of being written to a file. -fontmap varName VarName must be the name of an array variable that specifies a font mapping to use in the Postscript. Each element of var- Name must consist of a Tcl list with two elements, which are the name and point size of a Postscript font. When outputting Postscript commands for a particular font, Tk checks to see if varName contains an element with the same name as the font. If there is such an element, then the font information contained in that element is used in the Postscript. Otherwise Tk attempts to guess what Postscript font to use. Tk's guesses generally only work for well-known fonts such as Times and Hel- vetica and Courier, and only if the X font name does not omit any dashes up through the point size. For example, -*-Courier-Bold-R-Normal--*-120-* will work but *Courier-Bold-R-Normal*120* will not; Tk needs the dashes to parse the font name). -height size Specifies the height of the area of the canvas to print. Defaults to the height of the canvas window. -pageanchor anchor Specifies which point of the printed area of the canvas should appear over the positioning point on the page (which is given by the -pagex and -pagey options). For example, -pageanchor n means that the top center of the area of the canvas being printed (as it appears in the canvas window) should be over the positioning point. Defaults to center. -pageheight size Specifies that the Postscript should be scaled in both x and y so that the printed area is size high on the Postscript page. Size consists of a floating-point number followed by c for centimeters, i for inches, m for millimeters, or p or nothing for printer's points (1/72 inch). Defaults to the height of the printed area on the screen. If both -pageheight and -pagewidth are specified then the scale factor from -pagewidth is used (non-uniform scaling is not implemented). -pagewidth size Specifies that the Postscript should be scaled in both x and y so that the printed area is size wide on the Postscript page. Size has the same form as for -pageheight. Defaults to the width of the printed area on the screen. If both -pageheight and -pagewidth are specified then the scale factor from -pagewidth is used (non-uniform scaling is not implemented). -pagex position Position gives the x-coordinate of the positioning point on the Postscript page, using any of the forms allowed for -page- height. Used in conjunction with the -pagey and -pageanchor options to determine where the printed area appears on the Post- script page. Defaults to the center of the page. -pagey position Position gives the y-coordinate of the positioning point on the Postscript page, using any of the forms allowed for -page- height. Used in conjunction with the -pagex and -pageanchor options to determine where the printed area appears on the Post- script page. Defaults to the center of the page. -rotate boolean Boolean specifies whether the printed area is to be rotated 90 degrees. In non-rotated output the x-axis of the printed area runs along the short dimension of the page (``portrait'' orientation); in rotated output the x-axis runs along the long dimension of the page (``landscape'' orientation). Defaults to non-rotated. -width size Specifies the width of the area of the canvas to print. Defaults to the width of the canvas window. -x position Specifies the x-coordinate of the left edge of the area of the canvas that is to be printed, in canvas coordinates, not win- dow coordinates. Defaults to the coordinate of the left edge of the window. -y position Specifies the y-coordinate of the top edge of the area of the canvas that is to be printed, in canvas coordinates, not window coordinates. Defaults to the coordinate of the top edge of the window. pathName raise tagOrId ?aboveThis? Move all of the items given by tagOrId to a new position in the display list just after the item given by aboveThis. If tagOrId refers to more than one item then all are moved but the relative order of the moved items will not be changed. AboveThis is a tag or id; if it refers to more than one item then the last (topmost) of these items in the display list is used as the destination location for the moved items. Note: this command has no effect on window items. Window items always obscure other item types, and the stacking order of window items is determined by the raise and lower commands, not the raise and lower widget commands for can- vases. This command returns an empty string. pathName scale tagOrId xOrigin yOrigin xScale yScale Rescale all of the items given by tagOrId in canvas coordinate space. XOrigin and yOrigin identify the origin for the scaling oper- ation and xScale and yScale identify the scale factors for x- and y-coordinates, respectively (a scale factor of 1.0 implies no change to that coordinate). For each of the points defining each item, the x-coordinate is adjusted to change the distance from xOrigin by a factor of xScale. Similarly, each y-coordinate is adjusted to change the distance from yOrigin by a factor of yScale. This command returns an empty string. pathName scan option args This command is used to implement scanning on canvases. It has two forms, depending on option: pathName scan mark x y Records x and y and the canvas's current view; used in conjunction with later scan dragto commands. Typically this command is associated with a mouse button press in the widget and x and y are the coordinates of the mouse. It returns an empty string. pathName scan dragto x y ?gain?. This command computes the difference between its x and y arguments (which are typically mouse coordinates) and the x and y arguments to the last scan mark command for the widget. It then adjusts the view by gain times the difference in coordi- nates, where gain defaults to 10. This command is typically associated with mouse motion events in the widget, to produce the effect of dragging the canvas at high speed through its window. The return value is an empty string. pathName select option ?tagOrId arg? Manipulates the selection in one of several ways, depending on option. The command may take any of the forms described below. In all of the descriptions below, tagOrId must refer to an item that supports indexing and selection; if it refers to multiple items then the first of these that supports indexing and the selection is used. Index gives a textual description of a position within tagOrId, as described in INDICES above. pathName select adjust tagOrId index Locate the end of the selection in tagOrId nearest to the character given by index, and adjust that end of the selection to be at index (i.e. including but not going beyond index). The other end of the selection is made the anchor point for future select to commands. If the selection isn't currently in tagOrId then this command behaves the same as the select to widget command. Returns an empty string. pathName select clear Clear the selection if it is in this widget. If the selection isn't in this widget then the command has no effect. Returns an empty string. pathName select from tagOrId index Set the selection anchor point for the widget to be just before the character given by index in the item given by tagOrId. This command doesn't change the selection; it just sets the fixed end of the selection for future select to commands. Returns an empty string. pathName select item Returns the id of the selected item, if the selection is in an item in this canvas. If the selection is not in this canvas then an empty string is returned. pathName select to tagOrId index Set the selection to consist of those characters of tagOrId between the selection anchor point and index. The new selection will include the character given by index; it will include the character given by the anchor point only if index is greater than or equal to the anchor point. The anchor point is determined by the most recent select adjust or select from command for this widget. If the selection anchor point for the widget isn't currently in tagOrId, then it is set to the same charac- ter given by index. Returns an empty string. pathName type tagOrId Returns the type of the item given by tagOrId, such as rectangle or text. If tagOrId refers to more than one item, then the type of the first item in the display list is returned. If tagOrId doesn't refer to any items at all then an empty string is returned. pathName xview ?args? This command is used to query and change the horizontal position of the information displayed in the canvas's window. It can take any of the following forms: pathName xview Returns a list containing two elements. Each element is a real fraction between 0 and 1; together they describe the hori- zontal span that is visible in the window. For example, if the first element is .2 and the second element is .6, 20% of the canvas's area (as defined by the -scrollregion option) is off-screen to the left, the middle 40% is visible in the window, and 40% of the canvas is off-screen to the right. These are the same values passed to scrollbars via the -xscrollcommand option. pathName xview moveto fraction Adjusts the view in the window so that fraction of the total width of the canvas is off-screen to the left. Fraction must be a fraction between 0 and 1. pathName xview scroll number what This command shifts the view in the window left or right according to number and what. Number must be an integer. What must be either units or pages or an abbreviation of one of these. If what is units, the view adjusts left or right in units of the xScrollIncrement option, if it is greater than zero, or in units of one-tenth the window's width otherwise. If what is pages then the view adjusts in units of nine-tenths the window's width. If number is negative then information farther to the left becomes visible; if it is positive then information farther to the right becomes visible. pathName yview ?args? This command is used to query and change the vertical position of the information displayed in the canvas's window. It can take any of the following forms: pathName yview Returns a list containing two elements. Each element is a real fraction between 0 and 1; together they describe the verti- cal span that is visible in the window. For example, if the first element is .6 and the second element is 1.0, the lowest 40% of the canvas's area (as defined by the -scrollregion option) is visible in the window. These are the same values passed to scrollbars via the -yscrollcommand option. pathName yview moveto fraction Adjusts the view in the window so that fraction of the canvas's area is off-screen to the top. Fraction is a fraction between 0 and 1. pathName yview scroll number what This command adjusts the view in the window up or down according to number and what. Number must be an integer. What must be either units or pages. If what is units, the view adjusts up or down in units of the yScrollIncrement option, if it is greater than zero, or in units of one-tenth the window's height otherwise. If what is pages then the view adjusts in units of nine-tenths the window's height. If number is negative then higher information becomes visible; if it is positive then lower information becomes visible. OVERVIEW OF ITEM TYPES
The sections below describe the various types of items supported by canvas widgets. Each item type is characterized by two things: first, the form of the create command used to create instances of the type; and second, a set of configuration options for items of that type, which may be used in the create and itemconfigure widget commands. Most items don't support indexing or selection or the commands related to them, such as index and insert. Where items do support these facilities, it is noted explicitly in the descriptions below. At present, text, line and polygon items provide this support. For lines and polygons the indexing facility is used to manipulate the coordinates of the item. COMMON ITEM OPTIONS
Many items share a common set of options. These options are explained here, and then referred to be each widget type for brevity. -dash pattern -activedash pattern -disableddash pattern This option specifies dash patterns for the normal, active state, and disabled state of an item. pattern may have any of the forms accepted by Tk_GetDash. If the dash options are omitted then the default is a solid outline. See "DASH PATTERNS" for more informa- tion. -dashoffset offset The starting offset in pixels into the pattern provided by the -dash option. -dashoffset is ignored if there is no -dash pattern. The offset may have any of the forms described in the COORDINATES section above. -fill color -activefill color -disabledfill color Specifies the color to be used to fill item's area. in its normal, active, and disabled states, Color may have any of the forms accepted by Tk_GetColor. If color is an empty string (the default), then the item will not be filled. For the line item, it speci- fies the color of the line drawn. For the text item, it specifies the foreground color of the text. -outline color -activeoutline color -disabledoutline color This option specifies the color that should be used to draw the outline of the item in its normal, active and disabled states. Color may have any of the forms accepted by Tk_GetColor. This option defaults to black. If color is specified as an empty string then no outline is drawn for the item. -offset offset Specifies the offset of stipples. The offset value can be of the form x,y or side, where side can be n, ne, e, se, s, sw, w, nw, or center. In the first case the origin is the origin of the toplevel of the current window. For the canvas itself and canvas objects the origin is the canvas origin, but putting # in front of the coordinate pair indicates using the toplevel origin instead. For can- vas objects, the -offset option is used for stippling as well. For the line and polygon canvas items you can also specify an index as argument, which connects the stipple origin to one of the coordinate points of the line/polygon. -outlinestipple bitmap -activeoutlinestipple bitmap -disabledoutlinestipple bitmap This option specifies stipple patterns that should be used to draw the outline of the item in its normal, active and disabled states. Indicates that the outline for the item should be drawn with a stipple pattern; bitmap specifies the stipple pattern to use, in any of the forms accepted by Tk_GetBitmap. If the -outline option hasn't been specified then this option has no effect. If bitmap is an empty string (the default), then the outline is drawn in a solid fashion. Note that stipples are not well supported on platforms that do not use X11 as their drawing API. -stipple bitmap -activestipple bitmap -disabledstipple bitmap This option specifies stipple patterns that should be used to fill the item in its normal, active and disabled states. bitmap spec- ifies the stipple pattern to use, in any of the forms accepted by Tk_GetBitmap. If the -fill option hasn't been specified then this option has no effect. If bitmap is an empty string (the default), then filling is done in a solid fashion. For the text item, it affects the actual text. Note that stipples are not well supported on platforms that do not use X11 as their drawing API. -state state This allows an item to override the canvas widget's global state option. It takes the same values: normal, disabled or hidden. -tags tagList Specifies a set of tags to apply to the item. TagList consists of a list of tag names, which replace any existing tags for the item. TagList may be an empty list. -width outlineWidth -activewidth outlineWidth -disabledwidth outlineWidth Specifies the width of the outline to be drawn around the item's region, in its normal, active and disabled states. outlineWidth may be in any of the forms described in the COORDINATES section above. If the -outline option has been specified as an empty string then this option has no effect. This option defaults to 1.0. For arcs, wide outlines will be drawn centered on the edges of the arc's region. ARC ITEMS
Items of type arc appear on the display as arc-shaped regions. An arc is a section of an oval delimited by two angles (specified by the -start and -extent options) and displayed in one of several ways (specified by the -style option). Arcs are created with widget commands of the following form: pathName create arc x1 y1 x2 y2 ?option value option value ...? pathName create arc coordList ?option value option value ...? The arguments x1, y1, x2, and y2 or coordList give the coordinates of two diagonally opposite corners of a rectangular region enclosing the oval that defines the arc. After the coordinates there may be any number of option-value pairs, each of which sets one of the configura- tion options for the item. These same option-value pairs may be used in itemconfigure widget commands to change the item's configuration. The following standard options are supported by arcs: -dash -activedash -disableddash -dashoffset -fill -activefill -disabledfill -offset -outline -activeoutline -disabledoutline -outlinestipple -activeoutlinestipple -disabledoutlinestipple -stipple -activestipple -disabledstipple -state -tags -width -activewidth -disabledwidth The following extra options are supported for arcs: -extent degrees Specifies the size of the angular range occupied by the arc. The arc's range extends for degrees degrees counter-clockwise from the starting angle given by the -start option. Degrees may be negative. If it is greater than 360 or less than -360, then degrees mod- ulo 360 is used as the extent. -start degrees Specifies the beginning of the angular range occupied by the arc. Degrees is given in units of degrees measured counter-clockwise from the 3-o'clock position; it may be either positive or negative. -style type Specifies how to draw the arc. If type is pieslice (the default) then the arc's region is defined by a section of the oval's perimeter plus two line segments, one between the center of the oval and each end of the perimeter section. If type is chord then the arc's region is defined by a section of the oval's perimeter plus a single line segment connecting the two end points of the perimeter section. If type is arc then the arc's region consists of a section of the perimeter alone. In this last case the -fill option is ignored. BITMAP ITEMS
Items of type bitmap appear on the display as images with two colors, foreground and background. Bitmaps are created with widget commands of the following form: pathName create bitmap x y ?option value option value ...? pathName create bitmap coordList ?option value option value ...? The arguments x and y or coordList specify the coordinates of a point used to position the bitmap on the display (see the -anchor option below for more information on how bitmaps are displayed). After the coordinates there may be any number of option-value pairs, each of which sets one of the configuration options for the item. These same option-value pairs may be used in itemconfigure widget commands to change the item's configuration. The following standard options are supported by bitmaps: -state -tags The following extra options are supported for bitmaps: -anchor anchorPos AnchorPos tells how to position the bitmap relative to the positioning point for the item; it may have any of the forms accepted by Tk_GetAnchor. For example, if anchorPos is center then the bitmap is centered on the point; if anchorPos is n then the bitmap will be drawn so that its top center point is at the positioning point. This option defaults to center. -background color -activebackground bitmap -disabledbackground bitmap Specifies the color to use for each of the bitmap's '0' valued pixels in its normal, active and disabled states. Color may have any of the forms accepted by Tk_GetColor. If this option isn't specified, or if it is specified as an empty string, then nothing is displayed where the bitmap pixels are 0; this produces a transparent effect. -bitmap bitmap -activebitmap bitmap -disabledbitmap bitmap Specifies the bitmaps to display in the item in its normal, active and disabled states. Bitmap may have any of the forms accepted by Tk_GetBitmap. -foreground color -activeforeground bitmap -disabledforeground bitmap Specifies the color to use for each of the bitmap's '1' valued pixels in its normal, active and disabled states. Color may have any of the forms accepted by Tk_GetColor and defaults to black. IMAGE ITEMS
Items of type image are used to display images on a canvas. Images are created with widget commands of the following form: pathName create image x y ?option value option value ...? pathName create image coordList ?option value option value ...? The arguments x and y or coordList specify the coordinates of a point used to position the image on the display (see the -anchor option below for more information). After the coordinates there may be any number of option-value pairs, each of which sets one of the configura- tion options for the item. These same option-value pairs may be used in itemconfigure widget commands to change the item's configuration. The following standard options are supported by images: -state -tags The following extra options are supported for images: -anchor anchorPos AnchorPos tells how to position the image relative to the positioning point for the item; it may have any of the forms accepted by Tk_GetAnchor. For example, if anchorPos is center then the image is centered on the point; if anchorPos is n then the image will be drawn so that its top center point is at the positioning point. This option defaults to center. -image name -activeimage name -disabledimage name Specifies the name of the images to display in the item in is normal, active and disabled states. This image must have been created previously with the image create command. LINE ITEMS
Items of type line appear on the display as one or more connected line segments or curves. Line items support coordinate indexing opera- tions using the canvas widget commands: dchars, index, insert. Lines are created with widget commands of the following form: pathName create line x1 y1... xn yn ?option value option value ...? pathName create line coordList ?option value option value ...? The arguments x1 through yn or coordList give the coordinates for a series of two or more points that describe a series of connected line segments. After the coordinates there may be any number of option-value pairs, each of which sets one of the configuration options for the item. These same option-value pairs may be used in itemconfigure widget commands to change the item's configuration. The following standard options are supported by lines: -dash -activedash -disableddash -dashoffset -fill -activefill -disabledfill -stipple -activestipple -disabledstipple -state -tags -width -activewidth -disabledwidth The following extra options are supported for lines: -arrow where Indicates whether or not arrowheads are to be drawn at one or both ends of the line. Where must have one of the values none (for no arrowheads), first (for an arrowhead at the first point of the line), last (for an arrowhead at the last point of the line), or both (for arrowheads at both ends). This option defaults to none. -arrowshape shape This option indicates how to draw arrowheads. The shape argument must be a list with three elements, each specifying a distance in any of the forms described in the COORDINATES section above. The first element of the list gives the distance along the line from the neck of the arrowhead to its tip. The second element gives the distance along the line from the trailing points of the arrow- head to the tip, and the third element gives the distance from the outside edge of the line to the trailing points. If this option isn't specified then Tk picks a ``reasonable'' shape. -capstyle style Specifies the ways in which caps are to be drawn at the endpoints of the line. Style may have any of the forms accepted by Tk_Get- CapStyle (butt, projecting, or round). If this option isn't specified then it defaults to butt. Where arrowheads are drawn the cap style is ignored. -joinstyle style Specifies the ways in which joints are to be drawn at the vertices of the line. Style may have any of the forms accepted by Tk_Get- CapStyle (bevel, miter, or round). If this option isn't specified then it defaults to miter. If the line only contains two points then this option is irrelevant. -smooth smoothMethod smoothMethod must have one of the forms accepted by Tcl_GetBoolean or a line smoothing method. Only bezier is supported in the core, but more can be added at runtime. If a boolean false value or empty string is given, no smoothing is applied. A boolean truth value assume bezier smoothing. It indicates whether or not the line should be drawn as a curve. If so, the line is rendered as a set of parabolic splines: one spline is drawn for the first and second line segments, one for the second and third, and so on. Straight-line segments can be generated within a curve by duplicating the end-points of the desired line segment. -splinesteps number Specifies the degree of smoothness desired for curves: each spline will be approximated with number line segments. This option is ignored unless the -smooth option is true. OVAL ITEMS
Items of type oval appear as circular or oval regions on the display. Each oval may have an outline, a fill, or both. Ovals are created with widget commands of the following form: pathName create oval x1 y1 x2 y2 ?option value option value ...? pathName create oval coordList ?option value option value ...? The arguments x1, y1, x2, and y2 or coordList give the coordinates of two diagonally opposite corners of a rectangular region enclosing the oval. The oval will include the top and left edges of the rectangle not the lower or right edges. If the region is square then the resulting oval is circular; otherwise it is elongated in shape. After the coordinates there may be any number of option-value pairs, each of which sets one of the configuration options for the item. These same option-value pairs may be used in itemconfigure widget commands to change the item's configuration. The following standard options are supported by ovals: -dash -activedash -disableddash -dashoffset -fill -activefill -disabledfill -offset -outline -activeoutline -disabledoutline -outlinestipple -activeoutlinestipple -disabledoutlinestipple -stipple -activestipple -disabledstipple -state -tags -width -activewidth -disabledwidth POLYGON ITEMS
Items of type polygon appear as polygonal or curved filled regions on the display. Polygon items support coordinate indexing operations using the canvas widget commands: dchars, index, insert. Polygons are created with widget commands of the following form: pathName create polygon x1 y1 ... xn yn ?option value option value ...? pathName create polygon coordList ?option value option value ...? The arguments x1 through yn or coordList specify the coordinates for three or more points that define a polygon. The first point should not be repeated as the last to close the shape; Tk will automatically close the periphery between the first and last points. After the coordinates there may be any number of option-value pairs, each of which sets one of the configuration options for the item. These same option-value pairs may be used in itemconfigure widget commands to change the item's configuration. The following standard options are supported by polygons: -dash -activedash -disableddash -dashoffset -fill -activefill -disabledfill -offset -outline -activeoutline -disabledoutline -outlinestipple -activeoutlinestipple -disabledoutlinestipple -stipple -activestipple -disabledstipple -state -tags -width -activewidth -disabledwidth The following extra options are supported for polygons: -joinstyle style Specifies the ways in which joints are to be drawn at the vertices of the outline. Style may have any of the forms accepted by Tk_GetCapStyle (bevel, miter, or round). If this option isn't specified then it defaults to miter. -smooth boolean Boolean must have one of the forms accepted by Tcl_GetBoolean. It indicates whether or not the polygon should be drawn with a curved perimeter. If so, the outline of the polygon becomes a set of parabolic splines, one spline for the first and second line segments, one for the second and third, and so on. Straight-line segments can be generated in a smoothed polygon by duplicating the end-points of the desired line segment. -splinesteps number Specifies the degree of smoothness desired for curves: each spline will be approximated with number line segments. This option is ignored unless the -smooth option is true. Polygon items are different from other items such as rectangles, ovals and arcs in that interior points are considered to be ``inside'' a polygon (e.g. for purposes of the find closest and find overlapping widget commands) even if it is not filled. For most other item types, an interior point is considered to be inside the item only if the item is filled or if it has neither a fill nor an outline. If you would like an unfilled polygon whose interior points are not considered to be inside the polygon, use a line item instead. RECTANGLE ITEMS
Items of type rectangle appear as rectangular regions on the display. Each rectangle may have an outline, a fill, or both. Rectangles are created with widget commands of the following form: pathName create rectangle x1 y1 x2 y2 ?option value option value ...? pathName create rectangle coordList ?option value option value ...? The arguments x1, y1, x2, and y2 or coordList give the coordinates of two diagonally opposite corners of the rectangle (the rectangle will include its upper and left edges but not its lower or right edges). After the coordinates there may be any number of option-value pairs, each of which sets one of the configuration options for the item. These same option-value pairs may be used in itemconfigure widget com- mands to change the item's configuration. The following standard options are supported by rectangles: -dash -activedash -disableddash -dashoffset -fill -activefill -disabledfill -offset -outline -activeoutline -disabledoutline -outlinestipple -activeoutlinestipple -disabledoutlinestipple -stipple -activestipple -disabledstipple -state -tags -width -activewidth -disabledwidth TEXT ITEMS
A text item displays a string of characters on the screen in one or more lines. Text items support indexing and selection, along with the following text-related canvas widget commands: dchars, focus, icursor, index, insert, select. Text items are created with widget commands of the following form: pathName create text x y ?option value option value ...? pathName create text coordList ?option value option value ...? The arguments x and y or coordList specify the coordinates of a point used to position the text on the display (see the options below for more information on how text is displayed). After the coordinates there may be any number of option-value pairs, each of which sets one of the configuration options for the item. These same option-value pairs may be used in itemconfigure widget commands to change the item's configuration. The following standard options are supported by text items: -fill -activefill -disabledfill -stipple -activestipple -disabledstipple -state -tags The following extra options are supported for text items: -anchor anchorPos AnchorPos tells how to position the text relative to the positioning point for the text; it may have any of the forms accepted by Tk_GetAnchor. For example, if anchorPos is center then the text is centered on the point; if anchorPos is n then the text will be drawn such that the top center point of the rectangular region occupied by the text will be at the positioning point. This option defaults to center. -font fontName Specifies the font to use for the text item. FontName may be any string acceptable to Tk_GetFont. If this option isn't specified, it defaults to a system-dependent font. -justify how Specifies how to justify the text within its bounding region. How must be one of the values left, right, or center. This option will only matter if the text is displayed as multiple lines. If the option is omitted, it defaults to left. -text string String specifies the characters to be displayed in the text item. Newline characters cause line breaks. The characters in the item may also be changed with the insert and delete widget commands. This option defaults to an empty string. -width lineLength Specifies a maximum line length for the text, in any of the forms described in the COORDINATES section above. If this option is zero (the default) the text is broken into lines only at newline characters. However, if this option is non-zero then any line that would be longer than lineLength is broken just before a space character to make the line shorter than lineLength; the space charac- ter is treated as if it were a newline character. WINDOW ITEMS
Items of type window cause a particular window to be displayed at a given position on the canvas. Window items are created with widget commands of the following form: pathName create window x y ?option value option value ...? pathName create window coordList ?option value option value ...? The arguments x and y or coordList specify the coordinates of a point used to position the window on the display (see the -anchor option below for more information on how bitmaps are displayed). After the coordinates there may be any number of option-value pairs, each of which sets one of the configuration options for the item. These same option-value pairs may be used in itemconfigure widget commands to change the item's configuration. The following standard options are supported by window items: -state -tags The following extra options are supported for window items: -anchor anchorPos AnchorPos tells how to position the window relative to the positioning point for the item; it may have any of the forms accepted by Tk_GetAnchor. For example, if anchorPos is center then the window is centered on the point; if anchorPos is n then the window will be drawn so that its top center point is at the positioning point. This option defaults to center. -height pixels Specifies the height to assign to the item's window. Pixels may have any of the forms described in the COORDINATES section above. If this option isn't specified, or if it is specified as an empty string, then the window is given whatever height it requests internally. -width pixels Specifies the width to assign to the item's window. Pixels may have any of the forms described in the COORDINATES section above. If this option isn't specified, or if it is specified as an empty string, then the window is given whatever width it requests inter- nally. -window pathName Specifies the window to associate with this item. The window specified by pathName must either be a child of the canvas widget or a child of some ancestor of the canvas widget. PathName may not refer to a top-level window. Note: due to restrictions in the ways that windows are managed, it is not possible to draw other graphical items (such as lines and images) on top of window items. A window item always obscures any graphics that overlap it, regardless of their order in the display list. APPLICATION-DEFINED ITEM TYPES It is possible for individual applications to define new item types for canvas widgets using C code. See the documentation for Tk_Cre- ateItemType. BINDINGS
In the current implementation, new canvases are not given any default behavior: you'll have to execute explicit Tcl commands to give the canvas its behavior. CREDITS
Tk's canvas widget is a blatant ripoff of ideas from Joel Bartlett's ezd program. Ezd provides structured graphics in a Scheme environment and preceded canvases by a year or two. Its simple mechanisms for placing and animating graphical objects inspired the functions of can- vases. SEE ALSO
