DESCRIPTION

26       The  package img::pixmap is a sub-package of Img. It can be loaded as a
27       part of the complete Img support, via package require Img,  or  on  its
28       own, via package require img::pixmap.
29
30       Like  all packages of Img it does not provide new commands, but extends
31       the existing Tk command image.
32
33       In contrast to all other sub packages this  packages  does  not  extend
34       Tk's photo image type, but rather provides a completely new image type,
35       on the same level as photo and bitmap.
36

CREATING PIXMAPS

38       Like all images, pixmaps are created using the image create command.
39
40       image create pixmap ?name? ?options?
41              Pixmaps support the following options:
42
43              -data string
44                     Specifies the contents of the source pixmap as a  string.
45                     The  string  must  adhere  to X11 pixmap format (e.g., as
46                     generated by the pixmap program). If both the  -data  and
47                     -file  options  are  specified,  the  -data  option takes
48                     precedence.
49
50              -file name
51                     name gives the name of a file whose contents  define  the
52                     source  pixmap. The file must adhere to X11 pixmap format
53                     (e.g., as generated by the pixmap program).
54

IMAGE COMMAND

56       When a pixmap image is created, Tk also creates a new  com  mand  whose
57       name is the same as the image.  This command may be used to invoke var‐
58       ious operations on the image.  It has the following general form:
59
60       imageName option ?arg arg ...?
61
62       Option and the args determine the exact behavior of  the  command.  The
63       following commands are possible for pixmap images:
64
65       imageName cget option
66              Returns  the  current value of the configuration option given by
67              option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the  image
68              create pixmap command.
69
70       imageName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
71              Query  or  modify the configuration options for the image. If no
72              option is specified, returns a list describing all of the avail‐
73              able options for imageName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information
74              on the format of this list). If  option  is  specified  with  no
75              value,  then the command returns a list describing the one named
76              option (this list will be identi cal to the  corresponding  sub‐
77              list  of  the value returned if no option is specified).  If one
78              or more option-value pairs are specified, then the command modi‐
79              fies  the  given  option(s)  to have the given value(s); in this
80              case the command returns an empty string. Option may have any of
81              the values accepted by the image create pixmap command.
