99 These procedures are called by canvas type managers to perform various
100 utility functions.
101 Tk_CanvasTkwin returns the Tk_Window associated with a particular can‐
103 vas.
104 Tk_CanvasGetCoord translates a string specification of a coordinate
106 (such as 2p or 1.6c) into a double-precision canvas coordinate. If
107 string is a valid coordinate description then Tk_CanvasGetCoord stores
108 the corresponding canvas coordinate at *doublePtr and returns TCL_OK.
109 Otherwise it stores an error message in the interpreter result and
110 returns TCL_ERROR.
111 Tk_CanvasDrawableCoords is called by type managers during redisplay to
113 compute where to draw things. Given x and y coordinates in the space
114 of the canvas, Tk_CanvasDrawableCoords computes the corresponding pixel
115 in the drawable that is currently being used for redisplay; it returns
116 those coordinates in *drawableXPtr and *drawableYPtr. This procedure
117 should not be invoked except during redisplay.
118 Tk_CanvasSetStippleOrigin is also used during redisplay. It sets the
120 stipple origin in gc so that stipples drawn with gc in the current off‐
121 screen pixmap will line up with stipples drawn with origin (0,0) in the
122 canvas's actual window. Tk_CanvasSetStippleOrigin is needed in order
123 to guarantee that stipple patterns line up properly when the canvas is
124 redisplayed in small pieces. Redisplays are carried out in double-
125 buffered fashion where a piece of the canvas is redrawn in an offscreen
126 pixmap and then copied back onto the screen. In this approach the
127 stipple origins in graphics contexts need to be adjusted during each
128 redisplay to compensate for the position of the off-screen pixmap rela‐
129 tive to the window. If an item is being drawn with stipples, its type
130 manager typically calls Tk_CanvasSetStippleOrigin just before using gc
131 to draw something; after it is finished drawing, the type manager
132 calls XSetTSOrigin to restore the origin in gc back to (0,0) (the
133 restore is needed because graphics contexts are shared, so they cannot
134 be modified permanently).
135 Tk_CanvasWindowCoords is similar to Tk_CanvasDrawableCoords except that
137 it returns coordinates in the canvas's window on the screen, instead of
138 coordinates in an off-screen pixmap.
139 Tk_CanvasEventuallyRedraw may be invoked by a type manager to inform Tk
141 that a portion of a canvas needs to be redrawn. The x1, y1, x2, and y2
142 arguments specify the region that needs to be redrawn, in canvas coor‐
143 dinates. Type managers rarely need to invoke Tk_CanvasEventuallyRe‐
144 draw, since Tk can normally figure out when an item has changed and
145 make the redisplay request on its behalf (this happens, for example
146 whenever Tk calls a configureProc or scaleProc). The only time that a
147 type manager needs to call Tk_CanvasEventuallyRedraw is if an item has
148 changed on its own without being invoked through one of the procedures
149 in its Tk_ItemType; this could happen, for example, in an image item if
150 the image is modified using image commands.
151 Tk_CanvasTagsParseProc and Tk_CanvasTagsPrintProc are procedures that
153 handle the -tags option for canvas items. The code of a canvas type
154 manager will not call these procedures directly, but will use their
155 addresses to create a Tk_CustomOption structure for the -tags option.
156 The code typically looks like this:
157 static const Tk_CustomOption tagsOption = {Tk_CanvasTagsParseProc,
159 Tk_CanvasTagsPrintProc, (ClientData) NULL
160 };
161 static const Tk_ConfigSpec configSpecs[] = {
163 ...
164 {TK_CONFIG_CUSTOM, "-tags", NULL, NULL,
165 NULL, 0, TK_CONFIG_NULL_OK, &tagsOption},
166 ...
167 };
