DESCRIPTION
Tk_FindPhoto returns an opaque handle that is used to
identify a particular photo image to the other procedures.
The parameter is the name of the image, that is, the name
specified to the image create photo command, or assigned
by that command if no name was specified.
Tk_PhotoPutBlock is used to supply blocks of image data to
be displayed. The call affects an area of the image of
size width x height pixels, with its top-left corner at
coordinates (x,y). All of width, height, x, and y must be
non-negative. If part of this area lies outside the cur-
rent bounds of the image, the image will be expanded to
include the area, unless the user has specified an
explicit image size with the -width and/or -height widget
configuration options (see photo(n)); in that case the
area is silently clipped to the image boundaries.
The block parameter is a pointer to a Tk_PhotoImageBlock
structure, defined as follows:
typedef struct {
unsigned char *pixelPtr;
int width;
int height;
int pitch;
int pixelSize;
int offset[4];
} Tk_PhotoImageBlock;
The pixelPtr field points to the first pixel, that is, the
top-left pixel in the block. The width and height fields
specify the dimensions of the block of pixels. The pixel-
Size field specifies the address difference between two
horizontally adjacent pixels. Often it is 3 or 4, but it
can have any value. The pitch field specifies the address
difference between two vertically adjacent pixels. The
offset array contains the offsets from the address of a
pixel to the addresses of the bytes containing the red,
green, blue and alpha (transparency) components. These
are normally 0, 1, 2 and 3, but can have other values,
e.g., for images that are stored as separate red, green
and blue planes.
The compRule parameter to Tk_PhotoPutBlock specifies a |
compositing rule that says what to do with transparent |
pixels. The value TK_PHOTO_COMPOSITE_OVERLAY says that |
the previous contents of the photo image should show |
through, and the value TK_PHOTO_COMPOSITE_SET says that |
the previous contents of the photo image should be com- |
pletely ignored, and the values from the block be copied |
directly across. The behavior in Tk8.3 and earlier was |
equivalent to having TK_PHOTO_COMPOSITE_OVERLAY as a com- |
positing rule.
The value given for the width and height parameters to
Tk_PhotoPutBlock do not have to correspond to the values
specified in block. If they are smaller, Tk_PhotoPutBlock
extracts a sub-block from the image data supplied. If
they are larger, the data given are replicated (in a tiled
fashion) to fill the specified area. These rules operate
independently in the horizontal and vertical directions.
Tk_PhotoPutZoomedBlock works like Tk_PhotoPutBlock except
that the image can be reduced or enlarged for display.
The subsampleX and subsampleY parameters allow the size of
the image to be reduced by subsampling. Tk_PhotoPut-
ZoomedBlock will use only pixels from the input image
whose X coordinates are multiples of subsampleX, and whose
Y coordinates are multiples of subsampleY. For example,
an image of 512x512 pixels can be reduced to 256x256 by
setting subsampleX and subsampleY to 2.
The zoomX and zoomY parameters allow the image to be
enlarged by pixel replication. Each pixel of the (possi-
bly subsampled) input image will be written to a block
zoomX pixels wide and zoomY pixels high of the displayed
image. Subsampling and zooming can be used together for
special effects.
Tk_PhotoGetImage can be used to retrieve image data from a
photo image. Tk_PhotoGetImage fills in the structure
pointed to by the blockPtr parameter with values that
describe the address and layout of the image data that the
photo image has stored internally. The values are valid
until the image is destroyed or its size is changed.
Tk_PhotoGetImage returns 1 for compatibility with the cor-
responding procedure in the old photo widget.
Tk_PhotoBlank blanks the entire area of the photo image.
Blank areas of a photo image are transparent.
Tk_PhotoExpand requests that the widget's image be
expanded to be at least width x height pixels in size.
The width and/or height are unchanged if the user has
specified an explicit image width or height with the
-width and/or -height configuration options, respectively.
If the image data are being supplied in many small blocks,
it is more efficient to use Tk_PhotoExpand or Tk_PhotoSet-
Size at the beginning rather than allowing the image to
expand in many small increments as image blocks are sup-
plied.
Tk_PhotoSetSize specifies the size of the image, as if the
user had specified the given width and height values to
the -width and -height configuration options. A value of
zero for width or height does not change the image's width
or height, but allows the width or height to be changed by
subsequent calls to Tk_PhotoPutBlock, Tk_PhotoPutZoomed-
Block or Tk_PhotoExpand.
Tk_PhotoGetSize returns the dimensions of the image in
*widthPtr and *heightPtr.
PORTABILITY
In Tk 8.3 and earlier, Tk_PhotoPutBlock and Tk_PhotoPut- |
ZoomedBlock had different signatures. If you want to com- |
pile code that uses the old interface against 8.4 without |
updating your code, compile it with the flag -DUSE_COMPOS- |
ITELESS_PHOTO_PUT_BLOCK. Code linked using Stubs against |
older versions of Tk will continue to work.
CREDITS
The code for the photo image type was developed by Paul
Mackerras, based on his earlier photo widget code.
