ARGUMENTS

21       Tcl_Interp *interp (in)               Interpreter  to  use  for   error
22                                             reporting.
23
24       int objc (in)                         Number   of   Tcl_Obj's  in  objv
25                                             array.
26
27       Tcl_Obj *const objv[] (in)            Argument objects.   These  repre‐
28                                             sent  the  entire widget command,

31                                             second word is typically xview or
32                                             yview.
33
34       int argc (in)                         Number of strings in argv array.

DESCRIPTION

52       Tk_GetScrollInfoObj  parses  the arguments expected by widget scrolling
53       commands such as xview and yview.  It receives the entire list of words
54       that  make  up  a  widget  command  and  parses the words starting with
55       objv[2].  The words starting with objv[2] must have one of the  follow‐
56       ing forms:
57              moveto fraction
58              scroll number units
59              scroll number pages
60
61       Any  of  the  moveto, scroll, units, and pages keywords may be abbrevi‐
62       ated.  If objv has the moveto form,  TK_SCROLL_MOVETO  is  returned  as
63       result  and *fractionPtr is filled in with the fraction argument to the
64       command, which must be a proper real value.  If  objv  has  the  scroll
65       form,  TK_SCROLL_UNITS  or TK_SCROLL_PAGES is returned and *stepsPtr is
66       filled in with the number value, which must be a proper integer.  If an
67       error  occurs in parsing the arguments, TK_SCROLL_ERROR is returned and
68       an error message is left in interpreter interp's result.
69
70       Tk_GetScrollInfo is identical in function to Tk_GetScrollInfoObj.  How‐
71       ever,  Tk_GetScrollInfo accepts string arguments, making it more appro‐
72       priate for use with legacy widgets.
